New York, NY (February 27, 2024) - Mintlayer, a Layer-2 protocol seamlessly connecting Bitcoin and decentralized finance (DeFi), has announced a strategic partnership with Salus, a leading Web3 security services platform. Together, they embark on the development of Thunder Network, an innovative Layer-3 solution built upon the rock-solid foundation of Bitcoin.

紐約州紐約（2024 年 2 月 27 日）—無縫連接比特幣和去中心化金融 (DeFi) 的 Layer-2 協議 Mintlayer 宣布與領先的 Web3 安全服務平台 Salus 建立戰略合作夥伴關係。他們共同著手開發 Thunder Network，這是建立在比特幣堅如磐石基礎上的創新第 3 層解決方案。

Thunder Network serves as a gateway, effortlessly integrating the capabilities of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) into Bitcoin-connected applications. This empowers developers with the freedom to unlock the full potential of decentralized applications (DApps) within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Thunder Network 作為網關，毫不費力地將以太坊虛擬機 (EVM) 的功能整合到比特幣連接的應用程式中。這使開發人員能夠自由地釋放比特幣生態系統中去中心化應用程式（DApp）的全部潛力。

Bridging the Blockchain Chasm

彌合區塊鏈鴻溝

This partnership represents a pivotal advancement in bridging the integration gap between Bitcoin and the wider blockchain landscape. Thunder Network leverages Layer-3 rollups intertwined with cutting-edge zero-knowledge (ZK) technology, marking a milestone in blockchain interoperability.

這種合作關係代表著彌合比特幣與更廣泛的區塊鏈領域之間整合差距的關鍵進步。 Thunder Network 利用與尖端零知識 (ZK) 技術交織在一起的第 3 層匯總，標誌著區塊鏈互通性的里程碑。

Zero-knowledge rollups (ZKRs) possess the inherent ability to process transactions off-chain, minimizing transaction fees, and significantly enhancing transaction throughput. Furthermore, ZK technology safeguards user privacy, ensuring that sensitive transaction data remains protected.

零知識總和（ZKR）具有處理鏈外交易、最大限度降低交易費用並顯著提高交易吞吐量的固有能力。此外，ZK技術保護用戶隱私，確保敏感交易資料受到保護。

"Our partnership with Salus embodies a transformative step in Mintlayer's mission to revolutionize Bitcoin's scalability," remarked Enrico Rubboli, Mintlayer Founder. "Through the strategic integration of ZK, Thunder Network empowers developers with lightning-fast transaction speeds and unparalleled privacy. It unlocks the limitless potential of EVM capabilities, paving the way for robust DApp development on top of Bitcoin. We are thrilled to collaborate with Salus, unlocking Bitcoin's full potential and shaping the future of DeFi."

Mintlayer 創辦人 Enrico Rubboli 表示：“我們與 Salus 的合作體現了 Mintlayer 徹底改變比特幣可擴展性的使命中邁出的變革性一步。” 「透過ZK 的策略整合，Thunder Network 為開發者提供了閃電般的交易速度和無與倫比的隱私。它釋放了EVM 功能的無限潛力，為基於比特幣的強大DApp 開發鋪平了道路。我們很高興與Salus 合作，釋放比特幣的全部潛力，塑造 DeFi 的未來。
