商品描述

This book takes readers through the sensational history of blockchains and their potential to revolutionize database systems of the future. In order to demystify blockchains, the book capitalizes on decades of research and field testing of existing database and distributed systems and applies these familiar concepts to the novel blockchain system. It then utilizes this framework to explore the essential block platform underpinning blockchains, which is often misunderstood as a specific attribute of cryptocurrencies rather than the core of the decentralized system independent of application. The book explores the nature of these decentralized systems, which have no single owner and build robustness through a multitude of stakeholder contributions. In this way, blockchains can build trust into existing systems and thus present attractive solutions for various domains across both academia and industry. Despite this, high-impact and real-world applications of blockchain have yet to be realized outside of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. The book establishes how this new data system, if properly applied, can disrupt the sector in much the same way databases did so many years ago. The book explores the fundamental technical limitations that may be preventing blockchain from realizing this potential and how to overcome or mitigate them. Readers who are completely new to blockchains will find this book to be a comprehensive survey of the state of the art in blockchain technology. Readers with some experience of blockchains, for example through developing cryptocurrencies, will likely find the book's database perspective enlightening. Finally, researchers already working with blockchain will learn to identify existing gaps in the design space and explore potential solutions for creating the next generation of blockchain systems.

本書帶領讀者了解區塊鏈的驚人歷史及其顛覆未來資料庫系統的潛力。為了揭開區塊鏈的神秘面紗，本書利用數十年的研究和現有資料庫及分散式系統的實地測試，並將這些熟悉的概念應用於新穎的區塊鏈系統。接著，本書利用這一框架探討支撐區塊鏈的基本區塊平台，這常常被誤解為加密貨幣的特定屬性，而非獨立於應用的去中心化系統的核心。本書探討這些去中心化系統的本質，這些系統沒有單一擁有者，並通過眾多利益相關者的貢獻來建立穩健性。這樣一來，區塊鏈可以在現有系統中建立信任，從而為學術界和產業界的各個領域提供吸引人的解決方案。儘管如此，區塊鏈在比特幣等加密貨幣之外的高影響力和現實世界應用尚未實現。本書闡明了這一新資料系統如果得到妥善應用，將如何以類似於多年前資料庫所帶來的顛覆性影響來改變行業。本書探討了可能阻礙區塊鏈實現這一潛力的基本技術限制，以及如何克服或減輕這些限制。對於完全不熟悉區塊鏈的讀者來說，本書將是對區塊鏈技術最前沿狀態的全面調查。對於有一定區塊鏈經驗的讀者，例如通過開發加密貨幣獲得的經驗，則可能會發現本書的資料庫觀點頗具啟發性。最後，已經在區塊鏈領域工作的研究人員將學會識別設計空間中的現有空白，並探索創建下一代區塊鏈系統的潛在解決方案。
