integration with conventional industries. As a decentralized system and distributed database technology, blockchain is a kind of technology which links relevant data in single blocks to form a central system in a cycled chain pattern by encrypted signature verification. The fusion of blockchain technology and big data technology can not only conquer the bottleneck of big data technology, but also provide new
methods and ideas for the development of sharing economy, so as to upgrade the developmental mode of sharing economy and promote the rapid growth of sharing economy.
