Ben Allen, a Bitcoin developer, has been selected as the third recipient of the Maelstrom Bitcoin Grant, as announced by the family office of Arthur Hayes.

比特幣開發商本·艾倫（Ben Allen）已被選為亞瑟·海斯（Arthur Hayes）家族辦公室宣布的漩渦比特幣贈款的第三名獲得者。

Over the next year, Allen will focus on advancing the Payjoin Dev Kit project, a privacy-focused initiative designed to enhance user anonymity and network scalability.

明年，艾倫（Allen）將專注於推進Payjoin Dev Kit項目，這是一項以隱私為中心的計劃，旨在增強用戶匿名性和網絡可擴展性。

Payjoin, originally proposed by Nicolas Dorier in BIP 78, enables both the sender and receiver to contribute inputs to a single Bitcoin transaction. This disrupts a common assumption used by financial surveillance firms, namely the idea that multiple transaction inputs must come from a single entity.

Payjoin最初是由Nicolas Dorier在BIP 78中提出的，使發件人和接收器都可以為單個比特幣交易提供投入。這破壞了金融監視公司使用的共同假設，即多個交易投入必須來自一個實體的想法。

“Maelstrom would like to congratulate Ben Allen on this grant,” said Arthur Hayes, Chief Investment Officer of Maelstrom. “The great thing about Payjoin, is that if only a small amount of adoption is achieved, it breaks a key assumption used by financial surveillance companies. The assumption they have is that if a Bitcoin transaction has multiple inputs, all the inputs must all belong to the same entity. Therefore, Payjoin adoption improves the privacy of even the people who don’t use it. We are excited to support Ben Allen’s work on open-source tools and software to increase Payjoin adoption.”

Maelstrom首席投資官Arthur Hayes說：“ Maelstrom要祝賀Ben Allen的這筆贈款。” “ Payjoin的偉大之處是，如果僅實現少量採用，它會打破金融監視公司使用的關鍵假設。他們的假設是，如果比特幣交易具有多個輸入，所有輸入都必須全部屬於同一實體，那麼，付費工具就可以付費，即使他們不得不付費，我們就會付出任何興奮的人。收養。”

Payjoin technology, designed to enhance privacy and scalability, has seen limited integration despite being proposed in 2019. To encourage broader adoption, Allen will be working alongside Dan Gould to expand the Payjoin implementation so it can be integrated into more Bitcoin wallets.

旨在增強隱私性和可擴展性的Payjoin技術，儘管在2019年提出了有限的集成。為了鼓勵更廣泛的採用，Allen將與Dan Gould一起工作以擴大Payjoin實施，因此可以將其集成到更多的比特幣錢包中。

Allen acknowledged the technical complexities of the project—including the requirement for receivers to be online—but expressed optimism about overcoming these challenges.

艾倫（Allen）承認該項目的技術複雜性（包括要求接收者在線的要求），但對克服這些挑戰的樂觀態度表示樂觀。

“I’m deeply grateful to Arthur Hayes and Maelstrom for generously providing me with this grant to support my work on the Payjoin Dev Kit project,” said Allen.

艾倫說：“我非常感謝Arthur Hayes和Maelstrom慷慨地為我提供這筆贈款，以支持我在Payjoin Dev Kit項目上的工作。”

“With this funding, I can dedicate myself full-time to enhancing the Payjoin implementation, improving testing, and ensuring that the dev kit remains robust, well-documented, and maintainable for the future.”

“通過這筆資金，我可以全職致力於增強工資公司的實施，改進測試，並確保開發套件保持強大，有據可查，並在未來中維護。”

He also noted the broader mission of his work: “Improving privacy for bitcoin is an area where continued improvement allows for a better experience by empowering users to control their financial data and foster greater peace of mind when using bitcoin day to day. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to Bitcoin’s privacy and scalability, and I’m looking forward to continuing to collaborate with the community to make Payjoin more widely adopted.”

他還指出了他工作的更廣泛的使命：“改善比特幣的隱私是一個持續改進的領域，可以通過授權用戶來控制其財務數據並在日常使用比特幣時獲得更大的經驗。這是一個令人興奮的機會。這是一個令人興奮的機會，可以為比特幣的隱私性和可擴展性做出貢獻，並且我期待與社區的合作促進更廣泛的合作，以使其與社區的合作更加多樣化。''

Maelstrom, which is focused on supporting digital asset infrastructure, is led by Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX. Through grants like this one, the firm is investing in the foundational tools that promote a more private, scalable, and decentralized Bitcoin ecosystem.

Maelstrom專注於支持數字資產基礎架構，由Bitmex的聯合創始人Arthur Hayes領導。通過這樣的贈款，該公司正在投資基礎工具，這些工具可以促進一個更私人，可擴展和分散的比特幣生態系統。
