Metaverse and blockchain are written into the "14th Five Year Plan" for the development of Shanghai's digital economy!

      The General Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government has issued a notice on the "14th Five Year Plan for the Development of Shanghai's Digital Economy" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). In terms of key tasks, the plan states that we will strengthen the collaborative linkage of key elements such as data, technology, enterprises, and spatial carriers around key areas such as digital new industries, data new elements, digital new infrastructure, and intelligent new terminals, and accelerate the layout of digital economy development.

      关于当下前沿的元宇宙、NFT、区块链等领域，规划也有具体涉及。其中元宇宙和区块链的规划专门设立了段落进行具体阐述。

      在规划中，三次提及NFT，具体包括：在“培育数据新要素”部分的“数字贸易”方面，规划提出要支持龙头企业探索NFT（非同质化代币）交易平台建设，研究推动NFT等资产数字化、数字IP全球化流通、数字确权保护等相关业态在上海先行先试。

Regarding the current cutting-edge metaverse NFT、 There are also specific plans involved in areas such as blockchain. The planning of metaverse and blockchain has specifically set up paragraphs for specific elaboration.

In the plan, NFT is mentioned three times, specifically in the "digital trade" aspect of "cultivating new elements of data". The plan proposes to support leading enterprises in exploring the construction of NFT (non fungible token) trading platforms, researching and promoting the digitization of NFT and other assets, global circulation of digital IP, digital ownership protection and other related formats to be piloted in Shanghai.

In terms of "blockchain" in the "enhancing digital new infrastructure" section, the planning commission aims to create a combination of blockchain and cutting-edge technology interdisciplinary scientific and technological innovation system, promote the research and application of "blockchain+" technology, and build a blockchain development ecosystem with strong innovation capabilities and independent controllability. Promote digital trustworthy transactions and support the advancement of trustworthy transactions based on technologies such as blockchain and electronic identity verification. Promote trustworthy big data transactions, use consensus algorithms to achieve trust and transaction confirmation, and focus on developing smart contract management and operation platforms. Develop blockchain business models, focus on developing blockchain open source platforms, NFTs and other business models, accelerate the exploration of digital transformation and digital technology applications in virtual digital assets, art, intellectual property, games and other fields. Support the establishment of cross institutional and industry blockchain alliances, and research and develop industry standards and protocol frameworks for key areas of blockchain.

Regarding the "Metaverse", in the "Enhancing Digital New Infrastructure" section, it is planned to accelerate the research and deployment of platforms for the interaction between the future virtual world and the real society, and strengthen the layout of the entire chain from the bottom to the application. Develop human-computer interaction technology, accelerate the research and development of core technologies such as intelligent human-computer interaction and virtual digital humans, carry out the development of more immersive terminal technologies such as XR (Extended Reality) and brain computer interfaces, encourage the creation of more diverse content scene new platforms, and cultivate new forms of digital entertainment consumption such as virtual concerts, virtual idols, and virtual sports. Accelerate the layout of the virtual reality ecosystem, break through key technologies such as low latency fast rendering and virtual simulation engines, and develop new software and hardware integrated VR (virtual reality)/AR (augmented reality), 3D scanning and other products. Build industry benchmark applications, and create influential metaverse benchmark demonstration applications in fields such as online entertainment, intelligent manufacturing, digital content, transportation, online education, and healthcare.
