比特幣礦業巨頭Foundry和Antpool佔據網路算力的56.7%

鏈上數據顯示，比特幣挖礦巨頭 Foundry 和 Antpool 佔據了比特幣區塊鏈網路 56.7% 的算力。

Bitcoin mining pools Foundry USA and Antpool together control over 56% of the total hashrate on the Bitcoin blockchain network, according to the latest data.

最新數據顯示，比特幣礦池 Foundry USA 和 Antpool 合計控制比特幣區塊鏈網路總算力的 56% 以上。

The total hashrate on the Bitcoin network stood at around 651 exahashes per second (EH/s) on August 25, the data from BTC.com showed. Foundry USA was leading the pack with 215.79 EH/s, followed by Antpool at 153.55 EH/s.

BTC.com 的數據顯示，8 月 25 日，比特幣網路的總算力約為每秒 651 exahashes (EH/s)。 Foundry USA 以 215.79 EH/s 領先，其次是 Antpool，為 153.55 EH/s。

Foundry’s hashrate had increased from 140.26 EH/s at the beginning of 2024, while Antpool’s hashrate had also grown from 147.40 EH/s at the start of the year.

Foundry 的算力從 2024 年初的 140.26 EH/s 成長，而 Antpool 的算力也從年初的 147.40 EH/s 成長。

The rising hashrate dominance of a few large mining pools has raised concerns about the centralization of the Bitcoin network.

一些大型礦池的算力主導地位不斷上升，引發了人們對比特幣網路中心化的擔憂。

Centralization is a key concern for Bitcoin, which was designed to be a decentralized digital currency. If a few large entities were to control a majority of the hashrate, it could give them the power to manipulate blocks or collude to influence the network.

中心化是比特幣的關鍵問題，比特幣被設計為一種去中心化的數位貨幣。如果幾個大型實體控制了大部分算力，它們就可能擁有操縱區塊或串通影響網路的權力。

The increasing dominance of large mining pools has also made it harder for smaller miners to compete in the space. The high costs of mining equipment, combined with the rising hashrate, made it difficult for small miners to achieve profitability.

大型礦池的主導地位日益增強，也使得小型礦商在該領域的競爭變得更加困難。挖礦設備成本高昂，加上算力不斷上升，使得小礦商難以獲利。

As a result, many smaller miners were being pushed out of the space, leaving the field open to large-scale operations like Foundry and Antpool.

結果，許多規模較小的礦商被擠出這個領域，讓 Foundry 和 Antpool 等大規模礦機得以進入。

The growing control of Bitcoin’s hashrate by a few large players raises questions about the future of the network. If the trend towards centralization continues, Bitcoin could face risks that it was originally designed to avoid, such as reduced network security and increased potential for manipulation.

少數大型參與者對比特幣算力的控制日益增強，引發了人們對網路未來的疑問。如果中心化趨勢持續下去，比特幣可能會面臨其最初旨在避免的風險，例如網路安全性降低和操縱可能性增加。

Industry experts have called for a reassessment of Bitcoin’s mining model to ensure that it remains open and accessible to participants of all sizes. Some suggest that innovations in mining technology or changes to the network’s consensus mechanism could help level the playing field.

行業專家呼籲重新評估比特幣的挖礦模式，以確保其保持開放並可供各種規模的參與者使用。有些人認為，挖礦技術的創新或網路共識機制的改變可能有助於創造公平的競爭環境。

As the debate over Bitcoin’s decentralization intensifies, the actions of major mining players like Foundry USA and Antpool will be closely watched. Their influence on the network will play a crucial role in shaping the future of Bitcoin and its role as a decentralised digital currency.

隨著比特幣去中心化的爭論愈演愈烈，Foundry USA 和 Antpool 等主要礦業公司的行動將受到密切關注。他們對網路的影響將在塑造比特幣的未來及其作為去中心化數位貨幣的作用方面發揮至關重要的作用。
