Relevance to Internet Governance: To establish and improve the global Internet governance system, peace, security, openness and cooperation are important values. A safe, stable and prosperous cyberspace is of great significance to all countries and even the world. A secure and stable Internet environment should and must become the most basic requirement of global Internet governance. Since the 21st century, technological innovation has entered a period of rapid development, but the hidden dangers brought by technology have gradually increased: privacy disclosure, network financial fraud, electronic information theft and other events emerge in endlessly and the environment of cyberspace is influenced. Also, data track and data protection need to be strengthened. However, at the same time, the new generation of information technology represented by blockchain has accelerated its breakthrough in application, which not only applies to the innovation of Internet basic resources, but also extends to digital economy, Internet of things, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain management, digital asset trading and other fields, bringing new angles for theInternet governance mode in the future. The international Internet governance has not been standardized but blockchain can effectively guarantee data security and solve the problem of network trust under the situation. However, its value in Internet governance has not been fully explored, which is worth further exploration.
Relevance to Theme: Blockchain has unique characteristics of anonymity, non rewritable information, traceable root, transparancy, security and openness, etc. It is a distributed ledger system that all people could be involved in, maintain, store and read, mainly including point-to-point technology, asymmetric encryption technology, timestamp, smart contract and other core technical methods. Blockchain technology has aboivious advantages in the application of Internet financial innovation, personal information protection and other fields, with the potential to promote the innovation of Internet governance mode and achieve the precision, service and customization of Internet governance.
