The Blockchain-Based Service Network is Live

On April 25, the Blockchain-based Service Network (BSN) went live.

The aim of this network is to lay down the foundation of a future where the roots of the technology are technically “buried” just like the TCP and IP systems that underpin the modern-day internet are.

The BSN will therefore be the baseline where blockchain will be easily deployed by businesses and will in a way reflect on China’s global ambitions and the eventual implementation of Xi Jinping’s declaration of a blockchain revolution.
