Bitcoin developer Ben Allen has secured a $100,000 grant from investment firm Maelstrom to support the development of Payjoin, a privacy-focused tool that also aims to improve Bitcoin’s scalability.

比特幣開發商本·艾倫（Ben Allen）已從投資公司Maelstrom獲得了100,000美元的贈款，以支持Payjoin的開發，Payjoin是一種以隱私為中心的工具，旨在提高比特幣的可伸縮性。

Announced on May 20, Maelstrom will be funding Allen’s work on his Payjoin devkit alongside Dan Gould. The system allows Bitcoin (BTC) senders and receivers to use batched transactions, with positive implications for scalability and privacy.

Maelstrom於5月20日宣布，將為Allen與Dan Gould一起在他的Payjoin Devkit上資助。該系統允許比特幣（BTC）發件人使用批處理交易，對可擴展性和隱私產生積極影響。

Payjoin was first proposed by Nicolas Dorier in 2019 in Bitcoin improvement proposal (BIP) 78. The core principle behind the system is that both senders and receivers may contribute inputs to a transaction.

Payjoin首先是由Nicolas Dorier在2019年在比特幣改進建議（BIP）78中提出的。系統背後的核心原則是發件人和接收者均可為交易提供投入。

“Namely that privacy is enhanced and improved consolidation of transaction outputs is achieved, benefiting scalability ,” a Maelstrom statement reads.

Maelstrom聲明寫道：“即增強了隱私，並改善了交易輸出的合併，從而使可伸縮性受益。”

A Maelstrom representative told Cointelegraph that grantees are paid monthly for a total of $100,000 per year in Bitcoin and Allen’s grant will last one year. There are no concrete milestones and the grant is managed on a hands-off approach.

一位漩渦代表告訴Cointelegraph，授予者每月以比特幣每年100,000美元的價格支付授予者，而艾倫的贈款將持續一年。沒有具體的里程碑，該贈款是通過開發方法管理的。

Payjoin: Soon in wallets near you?

Payjoin：很快在您附近的錢包裡？

Allen will be working on improving Payjoin implementations, with the clear objective being to make it possible for the feature to be added to more wallets. He added that the funding will allow him to work on the project full time.

艾倫（Allen）將致力於改善工資加入實施，明確的目標是使該功能可以添加到更多錢包中。他補充說，這筆資金將使他能夠全職從事該項目。

The announcement notes that the system presents challenges, with the receiver needing to be online and the payment communication flow being more complex than normal non-interactive Bitcoin transactions.

該公告指出，該系統提出了挑戰，接收器需要在線，付款通信流比普通非交互性比特幣交易更為複雜。

Maelstrom chief investment officer and BitMEX crypto exchange co-founder and former CEO Arthur Hayes said that “improving financial privacy in Bitcoin is extremely important.”

Maelstrom首席投資官和Bitmex Crypto Exchange聯合創始人和前首席執行官Arthur Hayes表示：“改善比特幣的財務隱私非常重要。”

“Despite the closure of CoinJoin services, the community continues to innovate and develop new privacy-enhancing technologies, such as Payjoin, zkSNACKs, and ZK-rollups, to ensure that users can maintain control over their financial data and transactions,” Hayes added.

Hayes補充說：“儘管關閉了CoinJoin服務，但社區仍在繼續創新和開發新的隱私增強技術，例如Payjoin，Zksnacks和Zk-rollups，以確保用戶可以維持對其財務數據和交易的控制，” Hayes補充說。

A Maelstrom representative explained to Cointelegraph that the firm “is keen to support more grantees in the privacy area.” The company is actively seeking candidates who have a strong track record in Bitcoin privacy projects.

漩渦的代表向Cointelegraph解釋說，該公司“渴望在隱私區域支持更多的受贈人”。該公司正在積極尋找在比特幣隱私項目中擁有良好往績的候選人。

Enjoy the benefits whether you use it or not

無論您是否使用，享受好處

Hayes noted that “Payjoin adoption improves the privacy of even the people who don’t use it.”

海耶斯指出：“ Payjoin採用率甚至不使用它的人們的隱私。”

Allen said he believes privacy is important for Bitcoin users to enjoy a better experience and control their financial data when using it daily.

艾倫說，他認為隱私對比特幣用戶每天使用時享受更好的體驗並控制其財務數據很重要。

“I'm currently building out benchmarks to help downstream developers implement Payjoin in individual wallet software as well as expanding test coverage to ensure consistent and reproducible code. We're also working on making it easier to use and embed Payjoin in other projects. Encouraging its adoption is the biggest step we can take for simplifying the experience and encouraging Payjoin adoption by moving the complexities mostly away from the user,” Allen told Cointelegraph.

The Maelstrom representative told Cointelegraph that “a key metric for Payjoin success would be adoption by popular open source Bitcoin wallets.”

漩渦式代表告訴Cointelegraph，“ Payjoin成功的關鍵指標將是由流行的開源比特幣錢包採用的。”

“In particular if the BitcoinCore wallet ever adopts it, that would be a huge signal of success,” they added.

他們補充說：“特別是，如果比特素康（Bitcoincore）的錢包採用它，那將是成功的巨大信號。”
