Waterfall Network 主網上線，擁有 7,500 個活躍驗證者，Gate.io 上列出 $WATER 代幣

領先的第 1 層權益證明網絡 Waterfall 週三宣布其主網已上線，擁有 7,500 個活躍驗證者

Waterfall, a layer 1 proof-of-stake network, announced Wednesday the launch of its mainnet with 7,500 active validators. Its native token, $WATER, has also been listed on cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io.

Waterfall 是第 1 層權益證明網絡，週三宣布推出擁有 7,500 個活躍驗證者的主網。其原生代幣$WATER也已在加密貨幣交易所Gate.io上市。

The introduction of the mainnet will provide the community with a platform to build decentralized apps (dApps) that can transform the industry by potentially bringing in new use cases.

主網的引入將為社群提供一個建立去中心化應用程式（dApp）的平台，這些應用程式可以透過潛在地引入新的用例來改變產業。

Waterfall is capable of supporting at least 1.5 million nodes, as per testing conducted with support from the Google Cloud Web3 Startup Program. The said figure is more than any other proof-of-stake network, including Ethereum. Emerging from its testnet, the network allows almost anyone, anywhere to participate in the burgeoning decentralized economy by running a validator node.

根據 Google Cloud Web3 啟動計畫支援下進行的測試，Waterfall 能夠支援至少 150 萬個節點。該數字超過任何其他權益證明網絡，包括以太坊。該網路源自於其測試網，幾乎允許任何人在任何地方透過運行驗證器節點參與蓬勃發展的去中心化經濟。

"The strength of the Waterfall Network has surpassed even our most optimistic projections during testnet development. We now look forward to ensuring the community has a great platform to build and grow the network. Waterfall Protocol has been designed to reach communities as nodes can be run on any low-powered computing device as well as on Linux, Mac, Windows and in the future on phones," Sergii Grybniak, Blue Wave CTO and Waterfall Head of Research, told International Business Times in a statement.

「瀑布網路的實力甚至超過了我們在測試網開發過程中最樂觀的預測。我們現在期待確保社群擁有一個強大的平台來建立和發展網路。瀑布協定的設計初衷是讓社群能夠運行節點Blue Wave 首席技術官兼Waterfall 研究主管Sergii Grybniak 在聲明中告訴《國際商業時報》：

As for $WATER's Gate.io listing, users can now stake $WATER tokens, start running a node, and earn tangible returns to help secure the Waterfall mainnet.

至於 $WATER 的 Gate.io 列表，用戶現在可以質押 $WATER 代幣，開始運行節點，並獲得切實的回報以幫助保護 Waterfall 主網。

More exchanges are set to list the token in the coming weeks and will be integrated with global infrastructure providers. Grants and rewards will be distributed to researchers and developers who assist with community-driven security auditing activities such as completing bug bounties, as more validators sign on the Waterfall Network.

更多交易所將在未來幾週內列出該代幣，並將與全球基礎設施提供者整合。隨著越來越多的驗證者登入瀑布網絡，贈款和獎勵將分發給協助社區驅動的安全審計活動（例如完成錯誤賞金）的研究人員和開發人員。

Waterfall reiterates that its native cryptocurrency, which is offered only outside of the U.S., is not the same as the $WATER memecoin.

Waterfall 重申，其原生加密貨幣僅在美國境外提供，與 $WATER memecoin 不同。

Meanwhile, Waterfall continues to grow its community, with more than 100,000 followers. It is integrated with various staking infrastructure providers, including GigaStake, CoreNode, Liquify, StarDustStaking, and InfStones. It is currently working on integrating with Web3 infrastructure service provider NebulaBlock and peer-to-peer cloud infrastructure provider Edge.

同時，Waterfall 的社群規模不斷擴大，粉絲數已超過 10 萬名。它與各種質押基礎設施提供者集成，包括 GigaStake、CoreNode、Liquify、StarDustStake 和 InfStones。目前正致力於與Web3基礎設施服務供應商NebulaBlock和點對點雲端基礎設施供應商Edge整合。

Waterfall, which combines scalability and decentralization, incorporates a next generation Directed AcylicGraph (DAG) technology that allows for virtually unlimited scalability and portability of dApps. It has very low hardware requirements for participants to become validators, bringing a game-changer technology for dApp developers as they change they innovate across the blockchain realm.

Waterfall 結合了可擴展性和去中心化，並採用了下一代有向 AcylicGraph (DAG) 技術，該技術允許 dApp 幾乎無限的可擴展性和可移植性。它對參與者成為驗證者的硬體要求非常低，為 dApp 開發人員帶來了改變遊戲規則的技術，因為他們在區塊鏈領域進行創新。
