MA Xiaofeng, the project leader, introduced that WuTong Chain 2.0 — Digital Signature Ecology, a new distributed digital identity trust system based on blockchain, was proposed by Tongji Blockchain Research Institute. It could upgrade the existing digital signature solution by leveraging the distributed digital identity technology and the distributed storage technology, and it was an important digital base facility that could address the urgent need for unified digital identity trust in connecting "data silos" in urban digital transformation. Mr. MA said that without a unified, recognized and regulatory-compliant digital identity system as the foundation for urban digital transformation, it was difficult to deeply expand the application scenarios such as digital economy efficiency improvement and industrial digital collaboration.

SHAO Min, the Level II Bureau Rank Official of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Shanghai Municipality, indicated in his speech that the Digital Transformation Innovation Competition had received more than 1,500 high-quality solutions from leading enterprises in the industry nationwide since its launch.
It was learned that the digital base track focused on three domain scenarios: network and computing power, data and platform, and digital trust, and 15 directions were available, including computing power resource infrastructure for artificial intelligence public services, data element circulation infrastructure based on privacy protection, blockchain-based digital trust applications, etc. The final presented the Digital Innovation Excellence Award, the Digital Innovation Pioneer Award and the Digital Innovation Winner Award.

Tongji University team took on the responsibility of drafting this standard with Shanghai Electronic Certification Authority Co., Ltd., Fudan University, Wonders Information Co., Ltd., Guotai Junan Securities and other enterprises or organizations under the guidance of Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization.
Tongji Blockchain Research Institute's "Privacy Data Exchange Solution Based on WuTong Chain" was also selected as one of the top 50 in the digital finance track and would participate in the final of the relevant track this August. The solution further developed the Secure Multi-party Computation technology based on the trusted digital identity to support the exchange of financial-grade private data and help the construction of Shanghai Fintech Hub.
