Abstract:

Blockchain could achieve trustworthy ledger management without central node.It has been successfully supporting financial applications such as Bitcoin.The essence of blockchain is trusted data management in an incompletely trusted environment.It has such features as decentralization,anti-tampering,strong consistency and integrity.On the other hand,blockchain also suffers the problem of weak data management functions,low performance and other issues.By comparing blockchain with traditional data management techniques and analyzing the three applications of blockchain beyond the financial fields,new research issues on blockchain were explored.The requirement for design and implementation of sharing database systems for specific application domains was discussed.The sharing database can be simply defined as a database that supports mission-critical applications,the sharing economic business model,and even itself is implemented in a sharing economy manner.

Key words: blockchain,sharing database, data management
