## Content

Generally speaking, the blockchain system consists of data layer, network layer, consensus layer, incentive layer, contract layer and application layer. The data layer encapsulates the underlying data blocks and related basic data and algorithms such as data encryption and timestamp; The network layer includes distributed networking mechanism, data dissemination mechanism and data verification mechanism; The consensus layer mainly encapsulates various consensus algorithms of network nodes; The incentive layer integrates economic factors into the blockchain technology system, mainly including the issuance mechanism and distribution mechanism of economic incentives; The contract layer mainly encapsulates various scripts, algorithms and smart contracts, which is the basis of the programmable characteristics of the blockchain; The application layer encapsulates various application scenarios and cases of blockchain. In this model, the chain block structure based on timestamp, the consensus mechanism of distributed nodes, the economic incentive based on consensus computing power and the flexible programmable smart contract are the most representative innovations of blockchain technology.
