CPChain’s Principal Scientist, Dr. LONG Chengnian, chats with BlockchainBrad (BCB) about all aspects of his innovative Cyber Physical Chain project. But what is CPChain? Well, put simply, it is a new distributed infrastructure for next generation Internet of Things (IoT). CPChain intends to build a fundamental data platform for IoT system in combination with distributed storage, encryption computation and blockchain technologies, providing the whole process solution from data acquisition, storage, sharing to application. CPChain is a promising solution to a series of challenges of current “chimney architecture” of IoT systems, reducing connectivity cost of devices, protecting data privacy and maximizing the value of IoT data.
Interviewee:
Dr. LONG Chengnian, Professor
CPChain Co-Founder/Principal Scientist
Research Interest：Internet of Things, Distributed Intelligent Systems with Blockchain Technology
Core Features: Scalability, Security, Rapidity
The core feature of the CPChain is to realize the transmission of the value of cyber-physical systems. The main technology contribution is to propose a systematic scheme to address the scalability and real-time problems of blockchain technology in IoTs from the perspective of data storage and computation, and consensus protocols, including parallel distributed architecture, two-layer hybrid consensus mechanism and lightweight side chain consensus protocol.
The CPChain R&D team is an international, knowledge-structured, energetic team. The founding team members include top talent from universities, Internet of things industry, financial security companies and business operations.
