OKLink has published the industry book "Blockchain: From Basics to Applications," offering a comprehensive analysis of technological principles and future applications.
The release of this book is not only a technical guide from an industry pioneer, but also a significant declaration of OKLink's commitment to continuously driving the rapid development of the industry.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsRecently, during TOKEN2049 Singapore—one of the world's largest Web3 industry events—OKLink, a leading on-chain data service provider in the Web3 sector, officially launched its newly published industry primer, "Blockchain: From Basics to Applications." The book explores blockchain, a decentralized distributed ledger technology, from multiple perspectives including technical foundations, extended applications, and peripheral developments, highlighting its significance in the future era of technology.
At the event, numerous attendees expressed strong interest and high praise after reading the book, engaging in lively discussions and interactions with the core editorial team. Compiled under the leadership of Ren Yunan, Chairman and CEO of OKLink Holdings (1499.HK), and co-authored by industry experts, this publication stands apart from other complex and inaccessible science books. It serves not only as an accessible technical guide but also as a forward-looking report for the times. Combining broad theoretical exploration with practical operational guidance, the book aims to help readers interested in Web3 gain a comprehensive understanding of this cutting-edge technology and its application landscape.
Delving into the Core: Understanding the Technical Logic Behind Blockchain
In November 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published the landmark paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System," marking the beginning of blockchain technology. In 2013, Vitalik Buterin founded Ethereum, expanding blockchain into the realms of smart contracts and decentralized applications, ushering in the era of blockchain 2.0. Over time, blockchain has attracted widespread attention and discussion across industries. Its deep integration and rapid development in finance, supply chain management, IoT, healthcare, and other sectors have fully demonstrated its immense potential.
OKLink, a technology service provider with years of expertise in the blockchain space, has keenly recognized this trend. While continuously innovating technologically, the company has now invested significant resources into meticulously compiling this educational book, "Blockchain: From Basics to Applications," offering both industry professionals and general readers a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand technical guide. It provides practitioners with foundational technical analysis while giving ordinary readers a convenient pathway to understand and grasp blockchain technology.
The book is divided into three main parts—Fundamentals, Applications, and Periphery—comprising thirteen chapters in total. The Fundamentals section systematically explains how blockchain works, covering topics such as the history of blockchain, its technical architecture, core features, essential tools like cryptocurrency wallets, and stablecoins as a key value metric in the industry. The Applications section focuses on current popular blockchain use cases: Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), GameFi, and SocialFi, supported by real-world case studies that illustrate both the advantages and challenges of practical implementation. The Periphery section covers emerging areas including Web3, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), crypto asset custody, and the increasingly discussed topic of Real-World Assets (RWA), shedding light on the evolution of blockchain’s derivative industries.
Emphasizing Education: Advancing Industry Awareness
As stated in "Blockchain: From Basics to Applications": "The development of blockchain confirms an interesting phenomenon in human history: it typically takes about thirty years for an idea or technology to be proposed and then truly flourish. This pattern is not limited to science and technology—it appears frequently in philosophy, natural sciences, mathematics, and other fields. Approximately one generation is needed for people to explore, digest, practice, and apply a new concept, algorithm, or technology."
Since its founding in 2013, OKLink has been observing, practicing, and innovating within the blockchain industry. After launching its globally leading Web3 blockchain browser and on-chain data analytics services, the company has drawn upon extensive operational experience, consolidating these insights into the creation of this book. Its release represents not only a technical roadmap from an industry pioneer but also a significant declaration of OKLink’s commitment to driving rapid industry growth.
On the decision to jointly publish the book with Zhonghua Book Company’s Kaiming Press, Chief Editor Ren Yunan explained, "We hope readers who are interested in or involved in blockchain development will find valuable insights and shared knowledge in this book. We also hope this accumulation and effort can inspire deeper public understanding and exploration of blockchain, and ultimately provide concrete support for the industry’s advancement, helping it move further and higher."
