以太坊白皮書 11 週年，標誌著智能合約和 DeFi 週年

以太坊基礎技術文件的第一次迭代——白皮書，已經 11 歲了。

The first iteration of Ethereum’s foundational technical document, the white paper, has turned 11 years old.

以太坊基礎技術文件的第一次迭代——白皮書，已經 11 歲了。

The first iteration of the document, also called the “proto-white paper” was first shared by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin in November 2013, in an email titled ‘Introducing Ethereum: a generalized smart contract/DAC platform.’

該文件的第一版也稱為“原型白皮書”，由以太坊聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin 於2013 年11 月在一封題為“以太坊簡介：通用智能合約/DAC 平台”的電子郵件中首次分享。

This marks the first time the Ethereum white paper was shared, although Buterin made some minor changes, before releasing the first version on Ethereum’s website, called a “next-generation smart contract and decentralized application platform,” inspired by Satoshi Nakamoto’s development of the Bitcoin network in 2009.

這標誌著以太坊白皮書首次被共享，儘管Buterin 在以太坊網站上發布第一個版本之前做了一些細微的修改，被稱為“下一代智能合約和去中心化應用平台”，其靈感來自於中本聰對比特幣的開發2009年網路。

Buterin’s innovations introduced the concept of self-executing, blockchain-based smart contracts, which laid the foundation for all the emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) applications such as yield-farming, decentralized lending, borrowing and staking.

Buterin 的創新引入了自動執行、基於區塊鏈的智能合約的概念，為所有新興的去中心化金融 (DeFi) 應用奠定了基礎，例如收益耕作、去中心化借貸、借貸和質押。

The 11-year anniversary is another testament to the growing utility of DeFi, which is increasingly becoming a financial paradigm next to the banking system, according to James Wo, the founder and CEO of DFG. Wo told Cointelegraph:

DFG 創辦人兼執行長 James Wo 表示，11 週年紀念日再次證明了 DeFi 的實用性不斷增長，它正日益成為僅次於銀行體系的金融範式。沃告訴 Cointelegraph：

Lending is the second-largest protocol category on Ethereum, worth a combined $32.8 billion in total value locked (TVL) across 460 protocols, according to DefiLlama data.

根據 DefiLlama 的數據，借貸是以太坊上第二大協議類別，460 個協議的鎖定總價值 (TVL) 總計達 328 億美元。

While smart contracts and DeFi are disintermediating the financial services sector, Ethereum introduced significant innovation for other industries as well.

雖然智慧合約和 DeFi 正在使金融服務業去中介化，但以太坊也為其他行業帶來了重大創新。

The travel and tourism industry has also benefited from the world’s first smart contract platform, according to Pablo Castillo, CEO and chief technology officer of Chain4Travel, who told Cointelegraph:

Chain4Travel 執行長兼技術長 Pablo Castillo 告訴 Cointelegraph，旅行和旅遊業也受益於世界上第一個智慧合約平台：

Over the next 10 years, Ethereum will solidify its role as DeFi’s “foundational infrastructure layer,” but solving its current interoperability challenges will be crucial for its continued adoption, added Castillo.

Castillo 補充道，未來 10 年，以太坊將鞏固其作為 DeFi「基礎設施層」的角色，但解決當前的互通性挑戰對於其持續採用至關重要。

Due to the siloed nature of blockchain networks, cross-chain interoperability is a significant technical challenge. This fragmentation is a growing user experience issue for crypto holders since bridging assets between layer-1 networks like Ethereum is costly and carries security risks.

由於區塊鏈網路的孤立性，跨鏈互通性是一個重大的技術挑戰。對於加密貨幣持有者來說，這種碎片化是一個日益嚴重的用戶體驗問題，因為在以太坊等第一層網路之間橋接資產成本高昂，並且存在安全風險。

During the first 10 years, Ethereum became the home for millions of smart contracts and thousands of decentralized applications (DApps).

在最初的 10 年裡，以太坊成為數百萬個智慧合約和數千個去中心化應用程式 (DApp) 的家。

Ethereum’s rapid adoption will likely accelerate in the next 10 years, especially among institutions, according to Alex Mizrahi, the co-founder and chief technology officer of the Chromia blockchain platform.

Chromia 區塊鏈平台聯合創始人兼首席技術長 Alex Mizrahi 表示，未來 10 年，以太坊的快速採用可能會加速，尤其是在機構中。

However, facilitating the next wave of adoption will require more robust security measures, according to Eskil Tsu, co-founder of GoPlus Web3 security solution, who wrote:

然而，GoPlus Web3 安全解決方案聯合創始人 Eskil Tsu 表示，促進下一波採用將需要更強大的安全措施，他寫道：

Hack and cyberattacks are a growing concern in the crypto space. Crypto hackers stole nearly $19 billion across 785 reported hacks, in the 13 years since June 2019, according to a Crystal Intelligence report shared with Cointelegraph.

駭客和網路攻擊是加密貨幣領域日益受到關注的問題。根據與 Cointelegraph 分享的 Crystal Intelligence 報告，自 2019 年 6 月以來的 13 年裡，加密貨幣駭客在 785 起報告的駭客攻擊中竊取了近 190 億美元。
