Moonstake Pte Limited與新加坡加泰羅尼亞上市公司DLF Holdings Limited（SGX：KUX）建立了戰略業務聯盟，並正式啟動了其業務運營，以在新加坡制定權益池協議。

Moonstake最近設立了開發一個跑馬圈地池協議，以滿足區域和全球blockchain市場不斷增長的需求。Stake採用權益證明（PoS）作為一種共識算法，該算法允許加密貨幣持有人增加從其區塊驗證交易中獲得區塊獎勵的可能性。它匯集了放樣的能力，並最終根據貢獻分配了塊獎勵。Moonstake開發了權益池協議，並通過合作夥伴和公司提供業務服務。放樣有望幫助提升區塊鏈技術並致力於去中心化。

新聯盟將擁有Moonstake開發的與樁相關的產品的知識產權（“ IP”）。Moonstake和DLF將共同合作進行市場營銷，軟件銷售，並探討新加坡和其他南亞國家/地區的放樣池業務的市場需求。為了將業務擴展到日本市場，Moonstake與日本最大的區塊鏈業務中心Binarystar Co. Ltd.簽訂了協議，與眾多成員公司（包括股票上市公司，如Tanseisha和GMO Cloud）達成協議。

通過使用其廣泛網絡的諮詢和加速服務，Binarystar在外國區塊鏈項目中發揮了舉足輕重的作用，以在日本市場推廣和本地化其產品。Binarystar將幫助Moonstake在日本和東亞地區進行市場營銷，公關，軟件銷售以及擴大合作夥伴關係。由於當前增強的互聯網環境的穩定性和可靠性，現在可以使用區塊鏈技術。連接小型網絡系統已被廣泛採用，以提供冗餘和業務連續性，從而提高系統網絡性能。

Moonstake為令牌持有者創建了可擴展的權益池，從而限制了由於用戶突然湧入而導致的運營成本增加。Moonstake Pte Ltd董事Alex Hui說：“我們很高興宣布與亞洲領先公司建立令人興奮的合作夥伴關係。Staking正在迅速成為加密交易和所有重要的大型硬幣/代幣持有者的核心職能（涉嫌參與其中的“鯨魚”需要具有企業級安全性，強大功能並控制其賭注的錢包。

具體來說，我們將與日本區塊鏈業務中心領導者Binarystar合作，與他們的早期採用者和開發人員名單建立戰略合作夥伴關係，以發現協同效應，利用網絡效應並加速採用。” “我們很高興與Moonstake建立了合作夥伴關係。我們相信以區塊鍊為代表的具有創新技術的新商業理念將在現代時代得到擴展。” DLF Holdings Limited董事長范志成表示。

“談到放樣，參與放樣的方式和參與者獲得的利益這一事實使Moonstake的商業模式將在整個區塊鏈社區和整個社會中發揮舉足輕重的作用……通過這一聯盟，Binarystar加強了我們在亞洲的放樣聯盟， ” Binarystar Co. Ltd.首席執行官山本淳彌（Junya Yamamoto）說。

#Reverse Logistics #逆向物流 #blockchain
Omnichain首席执行官Pratik Soni向 Inbound Logistics 讲述了供应链中越来越多的区块链用例，包括逆向物流，产品认证和可持续性。

如今，基于区块链的供应链解决方案无处不在。例如，在2020年的前几周：

奥本大学的研究人员宣布，他们已经与耐克，PVH，赫尔曼·凯，科尔和梅西百货合作，测试基于区块链的系统来跟踪整个供应链中的产品。
法国，突尼斯和厄瓜多尔的食品生产商成为加入基于区块链的IBM Food Trust的最新成员。
从事航空运输维护，修理和大修（MRO）的公司组成了MRO区块链联盟，以测试跟踪和追踪飞机零件的技术。
区块链将对供应链管理产生多大影响尚有争议。但是，这种分布式分类帐技术已经在某些供应链运营中发挥了重要作用，让不同的各方以安全，可信赖和防篡改的方式共享数据。以下是一些最新动态。

产品回来时
电子供应链-逆向物流

区块链可以在逆向物流中发挥关键作用。区块链中保存的数据可以确认退回的产品是真实的，确定出售它们的零售商，然后在翻新以进行转售，清算或发送以处置的物品时进行跟踪。

例如，当退回产品的消费者缺少销售收据时，这很有用。“零售商可以扫描该产品上的序列号，条形码或其他唯一标识符，并在其内部系统中快速验证该特定商品是来自该零售商店和公司以及何时购买的，”创始人兼首席执行官Pratik Soni说Omnichain首席执行官，Omnichain是位于加利福尼亚州El Segundo的一家技术公司，其供应链管理平台可在分布式分类帐上连接贸易伙伴。

当制造商收到退回的产品时，区块链上的数据将详细说明该项目的历史，从制造到销售再到退货。“现在，他们可以重新制造该产品，更换主板或屏幕或任何需要的东西，验证它是否使用OEM级材料重新制造，然后准备在售后市场中转售，” Soni说。

由于数据跟踪单个项目和组件，并且由于没人能更改该数据，因此区块链有助于保护品牌完整性。索尼说：“品牌面临的一大挑战是如何否定假冒产品，并识别假冒产品何时渗入供应链。” 组织使用序列号来标识正品。他补充说：“区块链和分布式分类帐验证了这一点并使之不变，没有人可以篡改特定产品的生命周期。”

当制造商处置退回的产品时，区块链中的数据可以确认它是可持续的。索尼说：“您可以附带一份销毁证明书和各种处置方法，尤其是在电子产品回收甚至消耗品方面。” 这使消费者确信公司遵循负责任的做法。

Love is in the Chain: Could Blockchain be the Solution to People's Dating Woes?

Dating is a battleground filled with deception and infidelity, some say, and this is true. The modern dating world is a molten cauldron that simmers with outright treachery, barely concealed adultery, and conveniently fabricated half-truths. In the Tinder era, he or she who lies the best is king.

The world is a lonely place, and it is getting lonelier. Finding a partner–the right partner, at least, if there is such a thing in today's ultra-hypergamous environment has become a quasi Herculean task.

Female hypergamy aside, one of the main issues pervading today's dating scene is trust, or rather, lack thereof. 'Traditional' dating has long since been replaced with its illegitimate cousin, online dating. Finding love online is akin to playing a gigantic game of Who's who, where no one is who they seem, and nobody looks as though they seem. This Byzantine conundrum led to the rise of catfishing, for instance, and many other unpalatable practices that have turned dating into a wasteland of dashed hopes, unfulfilled desires, and wretched lies.

So what's the solution to this quandary, I hear you ask? It is a human-made problem, so a human-made solution would be in order–enter blockchain.

Trust, or trustless, that is the question

One can argue that a successful and lasting romantic and archetypal relationship is built on trust. Mutual trust, to be precise. Both partners need to know who the other person is if the relationship is to last longer than a few weeks.

But trust is precisely the one thing that online dating (and dating as a whole) so sorely lacks. People can never be sure who it is they are chatting to. All they know is that they are chatting to someone who has an attractive picture and/or profile. But who's to say that the person on the picture and the person behind the screen actually matches? There is a pervading sense of paranoia among lonely hearts, fuelled by fake profiles, professional con artists, and other malefactors roaming the internet, circling over vulnerable minds until the time is right to ensnare the victim in a web of lies and deceit.

The issue of restoring trust is, therefore, key to repairing the dating hall of mirrors.

Blockchain speaks the truth, and nothing but the truth

Blockchain is slowly becoming the 'Jack of All Trades' of the tech world. From a more or less niche beginning within the cradle of cryptocurrencies, blockchain is constantly broadening its sphere of influence.

There are very good reasons why this technology is going places. Its disruptive power is second to none: Banking, finance, supply chain, healthcare, and many other economic sectors are seeing its benefits. Society as a whole can become a better place to live and thrive, because of blockchain.

The technology is built on three solid principles: Decentralization, transparency, and immutability. Let's see how these three pillars could support a dating app built on the blockchain. Let's call our little experiment the Lovechain.

A new dating app built on blockchain technology is bound to receive a great deal of attention. It is a pioneering app, after all, built on relatively new technology. It's uncharted territory.

We are acutely aware of the problems that beset current dating apps: Fake profiles, data breaches, and so on. So we want to make sure we design Lovechain in such a way to either create an environment where these issues cannot arise.

A traditional dating app is like a double-blinded clinical trial. Neither party is aware of the identity of the other, and nobody has any visibility as to who anyone really is. People can simply hide behind a wall of anonymity from which they can operate in impunity. The issue of digital identity comes into play here.

Identity is a purely human concept, inherent to us all since the moment of birth. Identity, unlike riches or happiness, is a birthright. We are unique beings, but for the briefest of times. Once we become active members of society, our identities begin to dilute in a quagmire of societal complexities.

The identity issue is a complex one, more so in terms of online dating, as faking an identity to remain anonymous is relatively easy to do, and even encouraged in certain corners of the dating world.

Blockchain can resolve this issue through a combination of face recognition software, machine learning, and even voice recognition. And furthermore, this data would not be locally stored anywhere. Instead, it would be distributed in a decentralized environment, much less susceptible to manipulation and hacking. This combines the principles of decentralization, transparency, and immutability, in one single masterstroke.

Creating secure and veracious profiles is one thing, but how about those times whe

中国将成为世界贸易中心

在过去十年中，纽约，巴黎，米兰和伦敦街头的豪华精品店中的亚洲游客群众一直是常态。随着个人奢侈品市场的目标受众转移到富裕的全球中国人，回到中国大陆，那些负担不起的人决心不要落后。

假冒商品一直充斥着市场，以平息亚洲人对奢侈品的兴趣，甚至延伸到那些买不起奢侈品的人。由于进口关税高，消费税以及经营​​门店的租金和劳动力成本增加，中国大陆的奢侈品价格极高。抵制假冒商品的措施充其量是平均水平，知识产权法律执行不力。

然而，随着消费者购买中此类问题的意识日益扩大，这种趋势正在转变。亚洲人对奢侈品的热爱不会停止，因此行业领导者应该采取措施建立一个更清洁的中国。全球华人领导者，阿里巴巴集团已经与创始人马云长期以来一直强调阿里巴巴清理假货的努力，最近甚至公开呼吁政府执行更严厉的法律。

能够旅行的中国消费者更喜欢在国外而不是在国内购买奢侈品，以保证真实性和价格的巨大差异。

此外，由于政府对腐败的打压以及经济增长放缓，中国内部的奢侈品销售增长在过去三年中有所下降。这种情况正在慢慢回升，但奢侈品牌仍在削减其在中国的门店网络。为了不断进入中国市场，需要寻找新的机会。

在制造周期中，以前曾将中国作为经济利益形式的主要奢侈品集团品牌显然正致力于打造重要的中国奢侈品。奢侈品牌不再将中国视为血汗工厂和世界工厂; 相反，中国本土奢侈品牌有一个未来。

从历史上看，中国本土奢侈品牌很少，上海唐可能是中国的第一品牌。1998年，瑞士奢侈品集团历峰集团（Cartier和Van Cleef＆Arpels的所有者）收购了上海唐人的股份，十年后获得全部所有权，成功地将中国设计和理念与欧洲管理和经验相结合。这使得上海唐人在中国的奢侈品牌游戏中名列前茅。就在今年，它被卖给了意大利企业家Alessandro Bastagli，留在了欧洲人手中。

同样的趋势，上海，业内另一个强大的参与者，得到了法国奢侈品牌爱马仕的支持，仿效了欧洲和中国合作的成功模式。

中国政府的第十二个五年计划突出地倡导培育可以在全球范围内竞争并向价值链上游移动的中国国内品牌。在此期间结束时，还发现中国的电子商务交易总量有了巨大的增长，2015年全球40％的电子商务支出来自中国。

货币转移以及市场购买和贷款等点对点交换也在不断增加，主要是由加密货币实现的。2016年，几乎所有比特币交易都在中国完成，并且通过中国大陆货币交易的加密货币份额有所增加。人民币已经取代美元成为主导货币，推动比特币在2016年飙升120％，因为它的表现优于世界上所有其他货币。

中国政府的第13个五年计划表明了致力于促进新形式消费，提高产品质量和“重新支持”海外消费的承诺，使高端消费成为“新消费”的冠军。

而不是中国人成为欧洲的目的地购物者，购买将回到中国。电子商务将重振奢侈品行业，为企业创造新机遇。

随着电子商务的上升趋势，现在是提升中西合作成功商业模式的时机。

LVMH旗下的Tag Heuer品牌最近在阿里巴巴的天猫平台上推出，标志着其在奢侈品领域与阿里巴巴合作的开放性。这可能为更多高端品牌的加入敞开大门。这不是LVMH首次涉足天猫 - 娇兰，Make Up for Ever，丝芙兰和Rimowa已经在Tmall上市，但Tag Heuer是第一个进入Tmall的奢侈品牌。 LVMH组合进入平台。

这无疑对中国海外奢侈品消费的“重新支撑”起到了推波助澜的作用。

因此，如果中国能够成功建立自己的本土品牌，中国政府不仅可以保护自己品牌的利益。将采取更强有力的措施，立法行动，实现清洁，道德的贸易，以确保本土品牌的未来，并作为保护其在中国境内的利润的手段。为了保持与奢侈品相关的价格水平，迫切需要改变中国奢侈品的真实性。

最终的游戏将使中国成为世界上最干净的市场之一。虽然这是一个很大的预测，但基础已经存在。鉴于中国在经济上征服世界只用了30年，在未来20年内能够清理市场绝对是可能的，中国政府雄心勃勃地推动与中国建立新的全球秩序。In this series, we asked speakers at the Milken Institute Asia Summit to make one prediction for where Asia is headed in the next 20 years. Join the conversation by writing your own article here and including #MIGlobal. Follow the Milken Institute to get updates from the Asia Summit.

The throngs of Asian tourists in the luxury boutiques on the streets of New York, Paris, Milan and London have been the norm in the past decade. As the target audience of the personal luxury goods market shifted to the wealthy globe-trotting Chinese, back in mainland China, those that cannot afford to do so are determined not to be left behind.

Counterfeit goods have been flooding the market to appease the Asian appetite of luxury goods, one that extends even to those who cannot afford it. Due to high import duties, consumption taxes as well as increasing rental and labour costs of operating stores, luxury goods are extremely expensive in mainland China. Measures to counteract counterfeit goods have been average at best, with intellectual property laws weakly enforced.

However, the tide is turning as the consciousness on such issues in consumer purchases is becoming amplified. The love of luxury by the Asians will not cease and so it is up to industry leaders to take steps towards a cleaner China. Global Chinese leader, the Alibaba Group has done that with founder Jack Ma long emphasising on Alibaba’s efforts to clean up fakes, recently even publicly appealing to the government to enforce harsher laws.

Chinese consumers who can travel prefer to buy luxury goods abroad rather than at home, for guaranteed authenticity and massive differences in prices.

In addition, due to the government’s clampdown on corruption as well as the economic growth slowing, luxury sales growth within China have declined for the past three years. This is slowly picking up once more but luxury brands are still trimming their stores network within China. There is a need to look for new opportunities in order to continuously tap into the Chinese market.

Major luxury group brands that have previously used China as a form of economic benefit when it comes to manufacturing cycles are clearly working towards building significant Chinese luxury goods. Luxury brands are no longer seeing China as a sweatshop and the factory of the world; rather, there is a future in home-grown Chinese luxury brands.

Historically, there have been very few home-grown Chinese luxury brands, with Shanghai Tang probably China’s very first. In 1998, Swiss luxury goods group Richemont (owner of Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels) acquired a stake in Shanghai Tang, taking full ownership a decade later, successfully blending Chinese design and philosophy with European management and experience. This elevated Shanghai Tang to taking top spot in China’s luxury label game. Just this year, it was sold to Italian entrepreneur Alessandro Bastagli, remaining in European hands.

Along the same trend, Shang Xia, another strong player in the industry is backed by French luxury player Hermès, emulating the same successful model of the European and Chinese collaboration.

The Chinese government’s 12th five-year plan prominently advocated the nurturing of domestic Chinese brands that could compete on a global level and move up the value chain. At the end of the period, it was also revealed that China’s total e-commerce transactions have had tremendous growth, with 40% of the global e-commerce spend coming from China in 2015.

Peer-to-peer exchange such as money transfers as well as marketplace purchasing and lending has also been on the rise, largely enabled by cryptocurrency. 2016 saw that almost all Bitcoin trading was done in China and there has been an increase in the share of cryptocurrency that is traded via China’s mainland currency. The Yuan has overtaken the US Dollar as the dominant currency, driving a 120% surge of Bitcoin in 2016 for it to outperform every other currency in the world.

The Chinese government’s 13th five-year plan revealed a commitment for efforts to be directed towards promotion of new forms of consumption, improvement of product quality and ‘re-shoring’ of overseas consumption, making high-end consumption the champion of ‘new consumption’.

Instead of the Chinese becoming destination shoppers in Europe, purchasing will move back into China. E-commerce is slated to revive the luxury goods industry, creating new opportunities for companies.

With the uptrend in e-commerce, the time is now ripe to elevate the successful business model of the Chinese and Western world collaboration.

The LVMH-owned Tag Heuer brand has recently launched on Alibaba’s Tmall platform, signaling its openness to working with Alibaba in the luxury space. This could open the doors to more high-end brands joining in. This is not LVMH’s first foray into Tmall - Guerlain, Make Up for Ever, Sephora and Rimowa already have a presence on Tmall, but Tag Heuer is the first hard luxury brand in the LVMH portfolio to enter the platform.

This certainly bodes well in the drive for the ‘re-shoring’ of overseas luxury goods consumption in China.

As such, if China can successfully build their home-grown brands, the Chinese government is more than certain to move towards protecting the interest of their own brands. There will be stronger measures taken and legislation moves made towards a clean, ethical trade to ensure the future of home-grown brands and as a means to preserve their profits inside of China. The perception shift of authenticity of luxury goods in China is strongly needed, in order to maintain the level of price associated with all things luxurious.

The end-game will then see China becoming one of the cleanest markets in the world. While this is a big prediction to make, the foundations are already there. Given that China only took 30 years to economically conquer the world, being able to clean up their market in the next 20 years is definitely possible, with the Chinese government’s ambitious drive to create a new global order with China at the helm.
