DeFi 和美國債務

More politicians are arguing that dollar-backed stablecoins could be the answer to the US government’s $33 trillion debt.

更多政界人士認為，美元支持的穩定幣可能是解決美國政府 33 兆美元債務的答案。

Former speaker of the house Paul Ryan is the latest. He made the case for taking stablecoins seriously in a June 13 opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal.

眾議院前議長保羅·瑞安（Paul Ryan）是最新的一位。他在 6 月 13 日為《華爾街日報》發表的一篇評論文章中闡述了認真對待穩定幣的理由。

He said promoting dollar-backed stablecoins could cause a “durable increase in demand for US debt” at a time when previous big buyers are retreating.

他表示，在先前的大買家紛紛撤退之際，推廣美元支持的穩定幣可能會導致「對美國債務的需求持續成長」。

This is because to issue dollar-backed stablecoins, companies like Tether must hold dollars or dollar equivalents like US debt in reserve.

這是因為要發行美元支持的穩定幣，Tether 等公司必須持有美元或美元等價物（例如美國債務）作為儲備。

Stablecoins are the lifeblood of DeFi. Traders often look at stablecoin supply to gauge market sentiment.

穩定幣是 DeFi 的命脈。交易者經常透過穩定幣供應來衡量市場情緒。

Policymakers deciding to take stablecoins more seriously and expediting a regulatory framework for them should benefit DeFi.

政策制定者決定更加認真地對待穩定幣並加快建立穩定幣的監管框架，這應該會讓 DeFi 受益。

Others have also noticed the trend.

其他人也注意到了這一趨勢。

“Many Republicans recognise the strategic advantages of a private-sector US dollar stablecoin,” Pranav Kanade, a portfolio manager at VanEck’s Digital Assets Alpha Fund, previously told DL News.

VanEck 數位資產阿爾法基金的投資組合經理 Pranav Kanade 先前告訴 DL News：“許多共和黨人認識到私營部門美元穩定幣的戰略優勢。”

ZK launch clogs network

ZK啟動堵塞網絡

Airdrop recipients rushing to claim ZKsync’s ZK token congested the network Monday morning, calling into question the network’s ability to scale.

週一早上，空投接收者爭先恐後地領取 ZKsync 的 ZK 代幣，導致網路擁堵，使網路的擴展能力受到質疑。

As with several previous airdrops, Remote Procedure Calls — or RPCs — were the main bottleneck.

與之前的幾次空投一樣，遠端過程呼叫（RPC）是主要瓶頸。

(1/2) The network is currently under high load. Some RPC services may experience degraded performance.

(1/2) 網路目前負載較高。某些 RPC 服務可能會出現效能下降的情況。

Teams are working to increase RPC capacities.

團隊正在努力提高 RPC 容量。

Stay tuned for updates.

請繼續關注更新。

RPCs are protocols that let users do stuff involving different servers, like sending transactions to blockchains.

RPC 是允許用戶執行涉及不同伺服器的操作的協議，例如將事務發送到區塊鏈。

At 8 am London time, claims for 3.6 billion ZK tokens opened for almost 700,000 addresses.

截至倫敦時間上午 8 點，近 70 萬個地址已開放 36 億個 ZK 代幣的認領。

According to the ZK Nation X account, more than 45% of the airdropped ZK token supply was claimed by over 225,000 addresses in the first two hours.

根據 ZK Nation X 帳戶，空投的 ZK 代幣供應量在前兩個小時內被超過 225,000 個地址認領，超過 45%。

ZKsync is a blockchain built on top of Ethereum and uses zero-knowledge proofs to offer faster transactions with lower fees.

ZKsync 是建立在以太坊之上的區塊鏈，使用零知識證明以更低的費用提供更快的交易。

Tapioca’s options airdrop

木薯的選擇權空投

Tapioca DAO, a fledgling money market protocol built on LayerZero, is trying something different to deal with airdrop attackers.

Tapioca DAO 是一個基於 LayerZero 的新興貨幣市場協議，它正在嘗試不同的方法來應對空投攻擊者。

Instead of handing out free tokens, its airdrop will give users the ability to buy its native token at a discounted price using call options.

它的空投將讓用戶能夠使用看漲期權以折扣價購買其原生代幣，而不是分發免費代幣。

The plan appears to be working. Since the airdrop began on June 14, the protocol has brought in over $1.5 million.

該計劃似乎正在發揮作用。自 6 月 14 日開始空投以來，該協議已帶來超過 150 萬美元的收入。

Tapioca DAO co-founder Matt Marino previously told DL News the inspiration for the airdrop came from Andre Cronje, the so-called DeFi godfather behind protocols Yearn Finance, Keeper Network, and Solidly.

Tapioca DAO 聯合創始人 Matt Marino 先前告訴DL News，空投的靈感來自於安德烈·克羅涅(Andre Cronje)，他是Yearn Finance、Keeper Network 和Solidly 協議背後的所謂DeFi 教父。

“He talked about call options, and I was a big fan of Keeper Network,” he said. “I just really agreed with the principle of what he was talking about, and we just ran with it.”

「他談到了看漲期權，而我是 Keeper Network 的忠實粉絲，」他說。 “我真的很同意他所說的原則，我們就照著做。”

Cronje first floated the idea of incentivising using call options in 2021.

Cronje 在 2021 年首次提出使用看漲期權進行激勵的想法。
