  解释IBM对于区块链的观点

We’re moving right along! In the previous unit, we talked about how blockchain works in business. But what’s in it for you?

The Business Benefits of Blockchain

区块链在商业中的用途

Stronger Capital Flow
更好的资本流

Contracts that are executed using blockchain are automated and final. Businesses benefit from increased speed of execution, reduced costs, and less risk—all of which enables them to foster better relationships with customers and build new revenue streams.
使用区块链执行的合同是自动的并且是一劳永逸的。 企业可以从提高的执行速度，降低的成本和更低的风险中受益-所有这些使它们能够与客户建立更好的关系并建立新的收入来源。

Better Processes
优化的过程

As mentioned in the first unit, in traditional business networks all participants maintain their own ledgers with risk of duplication and discrepancies. By using blockchain, where transactions cannot be altered once consensus is reached, businesses can save time and costs while reducing risks.
如第一课中所述，在传统业务网络中，所有参与者都维护自己的分类帐，这会存在重复和差异的风险。 通过使用区块链，一旦达成共识就无法更改交易，企业可以节省时间和成本，同时降低风险。

Security and Trust
安全与信任

Blockchain consensus provides the benefit of a consolidated, consistent dataset. And because information contained in the shared ledger is not controlled by any single party, blockchain leads to increased trust and integrity in the flow of transaction information.
区块链共识提供了整合一致的数据集的优势。 并且由于共享账本中包含的信息不受任何一方的控制，因此区块链可提高交易信息流中的信任度和完整性。

IBM’s Open Source Point of View

In 2015, a group of companies (including IBM) decided that none of the existing blockchain technologies were really suitable for the enterprise. So, they formed the Hyperledger Project in order to build a new platform with enterprise requirements in mind—a blockchain that could be used in highly regulated environments with the values of being distributed, permissioned, and secure front and center.
2015年，一群公司（包括IBM）认定:没有一种现有的区块链技术真正适合企业。 因此，他们成立了Hyperledger Project，目的是建立一个考虑到企业需求的新平台-一种区块链，该区块链可用于受严格监管的环境，其价值在于分布式的，有许可的和安全的前端与中心。

The values of being distributed, permissioned, and secure are represented by a polygon with nodes, a cube with a check mark, and a lock, respectively.

As with the Apache server and the Linux kernel, the Hyperledger Project recognized that a technology this important should not be controlled by any single vendor. It would never be successful if it were just available from one company. So they worked together to establish Hyperledger, the fastest-growing project at the Linux Foundation ever.
与Apache服务器和Linux内核一样，Hyperledger项目认识到，如此重要技术不应由任何一家供应商控制。 如果只有一家公司可以提供，它将永远不会成功。 因此，他们共同努力建立了Hyperledger，这是Linux基金会有史以来发展最快的项目。

Note

• Hyperledger Fabric, the first of the Hyperledger projects, was established under open governance. There were 159 engineers representing 28 companies that contributed to the first release of Fabric—a testament to the value of developing open source under open governance. Since then, there have been nine additional projects incubated at Hyperledger.
  Hyperledger Fabric是Hyperledger项目的第一个项目，是在开放治理下建立的。 代表28家公司的159位工程师为Fabric的第一版做出了贡献-证明了在开放治理下开发开源的价值。 从那以后，另外9个项目也在Hyperledger被孵化了。
