The difference between the original ecds bill and the new generation bill

The differences between the original ecds Act and the new generation Act are as follows:

1. Technical basis: ECDS bills are based on the traditional inter-bank communication network, while the new generation bills are based on blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is a distributed database, which can realize the characteristics of decentralization and data tampering, making the new generation of bills have obvious advantages in security and transparency.

2. Transaction speed: Because ECDS is based on the traditional inter-bank communication network, its transaction speed is affected by the processing capacity of banks and network conditions, and it is usually slower than the new generation of bills. The new generation of bills can be traded through the blockchain, which can achieve near real-time processing speed.

3. Transaction cost: The operation and maintenance of ECDS need the coordination and cooperation between banks, so its transaction cost is relatively high. The operation of the new generation of bills does not need the coordination between banks, but only needs one node to complete the transaction, so its transaction cost is low.

4. Application field: ECDS is mainly used for large payment, liquidation and other scenarios, while the new generation of bills is gradually applied to more scenarios, such as supply chain finance and cross-border payment, due to its high efficiency and low cost.
