Whats the deal with Ants A3 (Ant S3)?

What’s the deal with Ant’s A3? Editor’s note: This article is from Colorful Cloud Blockchain (ID: cybtc_com) and is authorized to be reprinted by Odaily Star Daily.

Today, Ant Group announced the launch of the A3 smart hardware system. The upgrade of this system will be provided by a chip provider composed of three companies: Microsoft, Alibaba, and Intel. It adopts dual authentication technology based on security and scalability (C-Chain) to achieve cross-platform interoperability and high throughput. This is also the reason why China has an absolute advantage in the field of cryptocurrency mining.

This project is prepared for the blockchain industry, but it is not Bitcoin in the true sense. This is actually a small problem:

1. Have we developed a better solution than Ethereum?

2. What new progress or innovative products have been made in the past two years?

3. How to solve the privacy issues in the blockchain network?

4. What is blockchain infrastructure?

5. What improvements and development directions are there in the underlying technology of blockchain?

6. Will Ant Group use anything on the blockchain?

7. At present, there are several new application scenarios that can be transformed using blockchain: payment settlement agreements, supply chain finance, trade finance, identity management, etc. Of course, all of these need to combine with blockchain technology to ensure security. Therefore, I think this is one of the main difficulties that may be faced in the future.

But for blockchain, if you want more people to use this kind of blockchain application scenario, it means that at least it must achieve the effect of Internet-scale popularization and improve its performance. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the blockchain infrastructure to bring faster speed and reduce costs. This is why everyone is discussing the prospects of distributed storage solutions.

1. The first thing we need to consider in distributed storage architecture is the concept of distributed database: the process of generating files through data sets; if a node cannot handle all the content, it can be used as the data transmission of the entire database. That is to say, the information recorded in each block will be recorded and then uploaded to other clients.

2. As the distributed database itself does not have any computing power or resources, it is difficult to complete transactions. For example, public chains like Ethereum also have a certain delay because their speed is very slow, and once a crash occurs, the situation where transactions cannot be confirmed will occur. In addition, theoretically, when you run a node, your node information will be synchronized into the corresponding blockchain and there are not enough servers to participate, which poses a huge risk.

However, in such a case, even if someone finds that their node has indeed made an incorrect network connection, it does not actually affect the user experience. Therefore, if a central entity is responsible for maintaining the network, such as an exchange or wallet, they cannot access this node information at all, so they cannot communicate with them, thus forming a closed-loop state, and finally, some hacking attacks may occur.

Ant S3

According to the official website of Ant Group, Ant S3 was recently released as a new smart technology product. Its built-in hardware system provides a secure and convenient one-stop solution for global enterprises, government agencies, and individuals: remote office, data rights confirmation through blockchain technology, and digital upgrading in the Internet of Things devices and cloud environments.

According to reports, Ant S3 is a security technology service platform developed based on Antchain and developed by the “Ant S2” alliance under Ant Financial Services. Compared with other leading blockchain technologies in the industry, Ant S3 adopts a lower-cost underlying architecture and combines artificial intelligence chips and distributed operation and maintenance system to enable customers to easily complete multi-party collaboration.
