隆重介紹 $kBTC——一種由比特幣 1:1 完全支援的 ERC-20 代幣，由 Kraken 安全持有，並且始終可在鏈上驗證。更多的可能性。更多功能。更加透明。讓我們仔細看看

Kraken 加密貨幣交易所推出了自己的代幣，稱為 Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC)。每個 kBTC 均由 Kraken Financial 持有的比特幣以 1:1 的比例支持

Kraken crypto exchange has introduced its own token called Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC). Each kBTC is backed 1:1 by Bitcoin that is held by Kraken Financial, a Wyoming-chartered financial institution. This means that for every kBTC that is issued, there is one real Bitcoin that is stored by Kraken.

Kraken 加密貨幣交易所推出了自己的代幣，稱為 Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC)。每個 kBTC 均由懷俄明州特許金融機構 Kraken Financial 持有的比特幣以 1:1 的比例支持。這意味著每發行一個 kBTC，Kraken 都會儲存一個真實的比特幣。

The token is built on the ERC-20 standard and is designed to work on both the Ethereum network and OP Mainnet (formerly known as Optimism), according to a press release on Oct. 17.

據 10 月 17 日發布的新聞稿稱，該代幣基於 ERC-20 標準構建，旨在在以太坊網路和 OP 主網（以前稱為 Optimism）上運行。

“With kBTC, we’re bringing the power of Bitcoin to new networks, underpinned by the trust and security expertise Kraken has established over the last decade,” Kraken said in the press release.

Kraken 在新聞稿中表示：“透過 kBTC，我們將比特幣的力量帶入新網絡，並以 Kraken 在過去十年中建立的信任和安全專業知識為基礎。”

The wrapped Bitcoin will allow users to use their Bitcoin in decentralized applications (DApps) that normally don’t support Bitcoin.

打包的比特幣將允許用戶在通常不支援比特幣的去中心化應用程式（DApp）中使用他們的比特幣。

Kraken has also made on-chain data available for public inspection to ensure transparency. Users can check the kBTC reserves by viewing the custody address and smart contracts for both Ethereum and OP Mainnet.

Kraken 也向公眾提供鏈上數據以確保透明度。用戶可以透過查看以太坊和OP主網的託管地址和智能合約來檢查kBTC儲備。

Kraken also said that it hired Trail of Bits, a security firm, to audit the smart contract, and the token passed all tests.

Kraken還表示，它聘請了安全公司Trail of Bits來審核智能合約，該代幣通過了所有測試。

Wrapped tokens like kBTC allow assets to be used across multiple blockchains, which improves interoperability in decentralized finance (DeFi). For example, kBTC can be used on Ethereum to trade, lend, or borrow Bitcoin on various DeFi platforms.

像 kBTC 這樣的打包代幣允許資產在多個區塊鏈上使用，從而提高了去中心化金融（DeFi）的互通性。例如，kBTC 可以在以太坊上用於在各種 DeFi 平台上交易、借出或借入比特幣。

At the time of launch, Kraken will not support any spot markets for kBTC, but users will be able to redeem the token for actual Bitcoin at any time.

在發佈時，Kraken 將不支援 kBTC 的任何現貨市場，但用戶可以隨時將代幣兌換為實際的比特幣。

The exchange will integrate kBTC with major DeFi protocols, including Yearn, Curve, Paraswap, and others. Additionally, Kraken set the minimum deposit for kBTC at 0.00026 BTC, which is roughly $15 at current prices.

該交易所將把 kBTC 與主要 DeFi 協議集成，包括 Yearn、Curve、Paraswap 等。此外，Kraken 將 kBTC 的最低存款額設定為 0.00026 BTC，以目前價格計算約為 15 美元。
