中化集团完成首次全区块链引导的商品贸易
本周,中化集团的子公司首次成功借助区块链技术完成了从中国向新加坡的汽油运输任务。
据路透社报道,其实早在去年12月份,中化集团就完成了首次区块链辅助的原油进口交易。
如今,区块链技术已经在物流和运输领域得到了很好地应用。今年1月,全球首次农业贸易区块链应用在中美两国之间完成。这次区块链应用共涉及5个关联方,使用Easy Trading Connect(ETC)区块链平台进行大豆产品的货物运输工作。另外,中国零售巨头京东(JD.com)也曾宣布将面向京东平台消费者应用区块链技术,以监督消费者的订单情况并保证产品质量。
今年3月初,美国专利商标局(USPTO)为沃尔玛的智能包裹颁布专利,这种技术可以通过区块链技术追踪包裹运送情况,还可以跟踪环境状况和定位信息。
A subsidiary of Sinochem Corporation, one of China’s four major state-owned oil companies, has completed a shipment of gasoline from China to Singapore entirely using Blockchain technology, Reuters reports April 2.
Sinochem Energy Technology sent a shipment from Quanzhou, China to Singapore, claiming that it was the “first time that Blockchain applications have been applied to all key participants in the commodity trading process.”
In December of last year, the Sinochem Group completed the “first crude oil” Blockchain import transaction, according to Reuters.
Blockchain technology has been well received in logistics and shipping. This January, the first global agricultural trade using Blockchain was completed between the US to China. The trade, which involved five different parties, used the Easy Trading Connect (ETC) Blockchain platform to deliver a cargo shipment of soybeans. Chinese retail giant JD.com will also be implementing Blockchain technology for customers to monitor their orders and ensure product quality.
At the beginning of March, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published a patent application by Walmart for a “Smart Package” system that will use Blockchain to track package contents, environmental conditions, and location.
