Development of the blockchain curriculum system based on the PRIDE teaching mode by Yizhong LIU, Jianwei LIU, Qianhong WU

“…In recent years, with the widespread attention received by its currency attributes from all sectors of society, blockchain technology has been rapidly developed.Being an emerging technology, blockchain technology possessed characteristics such as decentralization, immutability, and anonymity that found extensive applications in digital currency, supply chain management, electronic voting and other fields.In response to the government's call, universities across the country began offering blockchain courses.However, during the actual teaching process, common problems such as lack of educational resources and untimely curriculum updates were encountered.Many blockchain courses in universities remained at the theoretical level and lacked practical application and practice, resulting in poor learning effectiveness and difficulty in meeting societal needs.To address these problems, a blockchain curriculum construction scheme based on the PRIDE teaching model was proposed.This scheme combined the advantages of traditional teaching models with the characteristics of blockchain courses were combined, incorporating political teaching, research teaching, inspiration teaching, seminar teaching, and example teaching into blockchain courses.The aim was to improve students’ learning effectiveness and practical application abilities.Through years of teaching verification, it was proven that this scheme successfully resolved the issues existing in traditional blockchain courses and improved learning effectiveness and practical application abilities.Additionally, the scheme met the requirements for training cyberspace security talent, providing a strong talent guarantee for the development and application of blockchain technology in China while achieving significant teaching effects.…”

Hybrid-chain-based supervision scheme for privacypreserving trading system by Xuedan JIA, Longxia HUANG, Pujie JING, Liangmin WANG, Xiangmei SONG

“…Due to its characteristics of decentralization, transparency, and security, blockchain technology is widely used in finance, the Internet of Things, and supply chain.However, along with the opportunities it brings, the application of blockchain technology also presents new challenges.On one hand, traditional centralized regulatory methods can undermine the decentralized and autonomous nature of blockchain, creating regulatory dilemmas.On the other hand, blockchain-based systems require privacy protection as transactions often contain sensitive information beyond currency amounts.Failure to protect privacy can result in information leakage and make it difficult for authorities to monitor transactions.To address these challenges and enable regulation in privacy-preserving blockchain-based trading systems, a hybrid chain framework was proposed.This framework incorporated a multiple committee-based approach for general cross-chain regulation.Separate committees were established for the supervision chain and service chain.The service chain committee handled service chain data, generating and sending proofs to the supervision chain to achieve private supervision.In addition to single-chain regulation, cross-chain communication committees and supervision committees collaborated to achieve cross-chain transaction supervision among different service chains.Through a security analysis, it is proven that the proposed scheme is secure when each module meets its security requirements.Experimental evaluations have been conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme, showing that it achieves cross-chain supervision at a low cost and is scalable.…”
