Abstract

The current research on the blockchain includes study on network architecture and the incentive. In this paper, an introduction to the architecture of information technology was given and the goal and research status of the incentive layer of blockchain were illustrated with digital economy development as the backdrop. The existing issuance of token was elaborated from computation, storage and transmission, three core facets of network technology. The development of the token allocation and the path was analyzed to confirm its rationality. It discusses the possible directions and challenges of the future research on blockchain incentive.
