網路計算機在符文支援下擁抱比特幣生態系統

互聯網計算機（ICP）繼續與比特幣生態系統集成，增加了對蝕刻 Runes 代幣、發送和接收 BRC-20 代幣以及創建比特幣 DeFi 應用程式的支援。這種整合利用 Threshold-Schnorr 簽名，使 ICP 智能合約能夠直接與比特幣區塊鏈互動並驗證交易，為開發人員提供高效、非託管的第 2 層解決方案、側鏈和 dapp 的工具。

Internet Computer Embraces Bitcoin Ecosystem with Runes Support

網路計算機在符文支援下擁抱比特幣生態系統

Zurich, Switzerland - As the Bitcoin halving and the launch of the Runes protocol loom on the horizon, Dfinity, the company behind the Internet Computer, has announced its latest move towards embracing the Bitcoin ecosystem. This integration involves the addition of support for etching Runes tokens and other Bitcoin-centric functionalities, further solidifying the relationship between the two networks.

瑞士蘇黎世 - 隨著比特幣減半和 Runes 協議的推出迫在眉睫，互聯網電腦背後的公司 Dfinity 宣布了其擁抱比特幣生態系統的最新舉措。這種整合涉及增加對蝕刻符文代幣和其他以比特幣為中心的功能的支持，進一步鞏固兩個網路之間的關係。

Layering the Bitcoin Ecosystem

比特幣生態系統分層

Dfinity's "Bitcoin layer zero" upgrade introduces the ability to etch Runes, an emerging technology that allows developers to create non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and other applications on the Bitcoin blockchain. Additionally, users can now send and receive BRC-20 tokens, a token standard designed for the Bitcoin blockchain, and construct decentralized finance (DeFi) applications centered around Bitcoin.

Dfinity 的「比特幣零層」升級引入了蝕刻符文的能力，這是一種新興技術，允許開發人員在比特幣區塊鏈上創建不可替代的代幣（NFT）和其他應用程式。此外，用戶現在可以發送和接收BRC-20代幣（一種為比特幣區塊鏈設計的代幣標準），並建立以比特幣為中心的去中心化金融（DeFi）應用程式。

The implementation of Threshold-Schnorr signatures, a cryptographic tool, underlies this latest Bitcoin integration. This tool empowers Internet Computer's smart contracts, the engines driving decentralized applications (dapps) and blockchain activities, to decipher Bitcoin addresses and validate transactions directly on Bitcoin's blockchain. The full implementation of this functionality is anticipated this summer.

Threshold-Schnorr 簽章（加密工具）的實作是最新比特幣整合的基礎。該工具使互聯網計算機的智能合約、驅動去中心化應用程式（dapp）和區塊鏈活動的引擎能夠破解比特幣地址並直接在比特幣區塊鏈上驗證交易。預計該功能將於今年夏天全面實施。

Efficiency and Functionality Drive Integration

效率和功能推動集成

"The [Threshold-Schnorr] integration focuses on maximizing functionality and efficiency," elucidated Aisling Connolly, Senior Research Scientist at Dfinity. "It offers a less complex alternative to ECDSA, the current Bitcoin signature scheme, facilitating deeper security analysis and robust validation."

「[Threshold-Schnorr] 整合的重點是最大化功能和效率，」Dfinity 高級研究科學家 Aisling Connolly 解釋道。 “它為當前的比特幣簽名方案 ECDSA 提供了一種不太複雜的替代方案，有助於更深入的安全分析和強大的驗證。”

Internet Computer: A Decentralized Alternative

網路計算機：去中心化的替代方案

Launched in 2021, the Internet Computer is a blockchain network seeking to revolutionize cloud services through a globally distributed network. This network's versatility has led to recent developments such as Bitfinity's plans to leverage the Internet Computer for creating Bitcoin Ordinals, a form of NFTs on the Bitcoin blockchain, and Bioniq's establishment of a marketplace for these Ordinals on the Internet Computer network.

互聯網計算機於 2021 年推出，是一個區塊鏈網絡，旨在透過全球分散式網絡徹底改變雲端服務。這個網路的多功能性帶來了最近的發展，例如 Bitfinity 計劃利用互聯網電腦創建比特幣序數（比特幣區塊鏈上的一種 NFT 形式），以及 Bioniq 在互聯網電腦網路上為這些序數建立市場。

Runes and Ordinals Fuel Development Surge

符文和序數推動發展浪潮

The advent of Bitcoin-based NFTs, known as Ordinals, and the impending Runes protocol have sparked a wave of development activity on the Bitcoin blockchain. On Monday, Franklin Templeton Digital Assets, an investment firm, expressed optimism about Runes' potential to bridge the gap between Bitcoin and other blockchain networks like Ethereum and Solana in terms of fungible token support.

基於比特幣的 NFT（稱為 Ordinals）的出現以及即將推出的 Runes 協議引發了比特幣區塊鏈的一波開發活動。週一，投資公司 Franklin Templeton Digital Assets 對 Runes 在可替代代幣支援方面彌合比特幣與以太坊和 Solana 等其他區塊鏈網路之間差距的潛力表示樂觀。

Smart Contracts Interact Directly with Bitcoin

智能合約直接與比特幣交互

Connolly emphasized the significance of Threshold-Schnorr signatures in enabling smart contracts to directly interact with Bitcoin's blockchain and authenticate transactions. This capability provides developers with the tools to construct effective, affordable, and non-custodial layer-2 solutions, sidechains, and dapps.

Connolly 強調了 Threshold-Schnorr 簽名對於使智慧合約能夠直接與比特幣區塊鏈互動並驗證交易的重要性。此功能為開發人員提供了建立有效、經濟且非託管的第 2 層解決方案、側鍊和 dapp 的工具。

Addressing Initial Key Setup Challenges

解決初始金鑰設定挑戰

"The fundamental technical challenge in any cryptographic protocol lies in the initial setup of private keys, ensuring the system operates with the required security safeguards," explained Connolly. "Internet Computer leverages a sophisticated distributed key generation protocol, the result of decades of research, for the initial Threshold-Schnorr key setup and subsequent key refreshes."

「任何加密協議的基本技術挑戰都在於私鑰的初始設置，確保系統在所需的安全保障下運行，」康諾利解釋道。 “互聯網計算機利用複雜的分散式金鑰生成協議，這是數十年研究的成果，用於初始 Threshold-Schnorr 金鑰設定和後續金鑰刷新。”

A Dual-Pronged Strategy for Bitcoin Developers

比特幣開發者的雙管齊下策略

Connolly outlined Internet Computer's two-pronged approach to attract Bitcoin developers: enhancing existing applications for greater decentralization and supporting the development of novel protocols. She acknowledged that some Bitcoin enthusiasts may not favor using Internet Computer for Bitcoin interactions but cautioned against dismissing its potential.

康諾利概述了互聯網電腦吸引比特幣開發人員的雙管齊下的方法：增強現有應用程式以實現更大程度的去中心化和支援新穎協議的開發。她承認，有些比特幣愛好者可能不喜歡使用網路電腦進行比特幣交互，但警告不要忽視其潛力。

"While individuals may not require Internet Computer to inscribe Ordinals," noted Connolly, "developers seeking to build secure applications, eliminate custodial bridges, achieve near-instant finality, minimize fees, and deploy their applications immediately will find no other platform with such capabilities."

康諾利指出：「雖然個人可能不需要網路電腦來登記序號，但尋求建立安全應用程式、消除託管橋樑、實現近乎即時的最終確定、最小化費用並立即部署應用程式的開發人員將發現沒有其他平台具有此類功能」。
