A few days ago, the "Web3.0 Trust Technology Conference" jointly sponsored by Changsha Municipal People's Government and China Communications Standards Association was held in Changsha. Professor Cai Liang, deputy convener of the National Blockchain Innovative Application Pilot Action Expert Group, delivered a keynote speech "Blockchain Technology for Web3.0", pointing out that Metaverse will face four challenges in the future.

Professor Cai Liang emphasized that the first challenge that Metaverse will face in the future is technological risk. Technical risk is specifically reflected in the risk of core technology being "stuck". The metaverse needs to integrate many technologies to build a complex digital space, and the risk of core technology being "stuck" is even greater.

Professor Cai Liang said that the second biggest challenge that Metaverse will face in the future is the risk of data and capital monopoly. In the absence of rule constraints and mechanism guidance, practitioners who have mastered a large amount of user data and scenarios may have the priority and right to speak in the formulation of Metaverse rules. In the short term, the emerging field of Metaverse will form a near-monopoly situation, which is not conducive to sustainable development.

Professor Cai Liang believes that the third major challenge that Metaverse will face in the future is economic risk. The value system of the metaverse virtual space is very different from the value system of the real world. If the industry and the capital market overestimate the value brought by the metaverse in the short term, it is likely to cause disorderly development of the economic system of the metaverse virtual space .

Professor Cai Liang pointed out that the fourth major challenge that Metaverse will face in the future is the risk of content and ideology. The information density and impact brought by the open creation, multi-dimensional social interaction, and all-round senses of the metaverse far exceed the current multimedia content distribution methods, which can easily cause an explosion of information volume, content aggregation, and widespread dissemination, which has a great impact on the user's awareness field. Strong permeability.

Professor Cai Liang believes that the application forms of the metaverse are changeable, and the technical characteristics should be taken as the starting point to study and improve the regulatory technology. It is not only necessary to closely follow the characteristics of content generation and dissemination, and continuously improve the content review capabilities of the platform, but also to study and understand the "Blockchain Information Service Management Regulations" in depth to build a benign transaction supervision system.
