Aurora 生态系统开发团队 Aurora Labs 宣布推出两款新产品：比特币轻客户端和 Relayer。正如该团队在周二的新闻稿中所说，这些产品将把比特币网络与 NEAR 协议连接起来。

The integration will open up new possibilities for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and enhance Web3 interoperability, according to Aurora Labs.

Aurora Labs 表示，此次集成将为去中心化金融 (DeFi) 应用开辟新的可能性，并增强 Web3 的互操作性。

Developed by Aurora Labs, the Bitcoin Light Client is designed to operate as a smart contract on the NEAR network. It enables NEAR dApps to verify Bitcoin transactions and maintain access to the up-to-date Bitcoin chain state. This essentially sets the stage for an upcoming Bitcoin bridge that will facilitate the utilization of Bitcoin assets on NEAR.

比特币轻客户端由 Aurora Labs 开发，旨在作为 NEAR 网络上的智能合约运行。它使 NEAR dApp 能够验证比特币交易并保持对最新比特币链状态的访问。这实质上为即将到来的比特币桥奠定了基础，该桥将促进 NEAR 上比特币资产的利用。

“There’s a lot of untapped value in the Bitcoin ecosystem. NEAR Chain Signatures are a solid step forward, but to really unlock Bitcoin’s potential, we need the ability to read and act on its state,” said Alex Shevchenko, Aurora Labs CEO.

“比特币生态系统中有很多未开发的价值。 NEAR 链签名是向前迈出的坚实一步，但要真正释放比特币的潜力，我们需要能够读取其状态并对其采取行动，”Aurora Labs 首席执行官 Alex Shevchenko 表示。

“That’s why we created a trustless Bitcoin Light Client that works as a smart contract. With this and Chain Signatures together, we’re opening the door for Bitcoin to finally enter the DeFi world,” Shevchenko added.

“这就是为什么我们创建了一个作为智能合约的无需信任的比特币轻客户端。有了这个和链签名，我们将为比特币最终进入 DeFi 世界打开大门，”Shevchenko 补充道。

While the Bitcoin Light Client enables transaction verification, the Relayer keeps the light client synchronized with the Bitcoin network. It will serve as a conduit that continuously updates the NEAR smart contract with the latest Bitcoin transactions, according to the team.

虽然比特币轻客户端支持交易验证，但中继器使轻客户端与比特币网络保持同步。该团队表示，它将作为一个渠道，利用最新的比特币交易不断更新 NEAR 智能合约。

In addition to the two products, Aurora Labs has also announced a chain signature service from Proximity Labs, which enables the creation of native Bitcoin bridges and facilitates BTC transfers to and from the NEAR network.

除了这两款产品之外，Aurora Labs 还宣布了 Proximity Labs 的链签名服务，该服务可以创建原生比特币桥并促进 NEAR 网络之间的 BTC 传输。

“The BTC light client is a critical part of the Bitcoin stack that NEAR now enables,” said Kendall Cole, founder of Proximity Labs. “When combined with chain signatures, developers will be able to create an entirely new set of applications for Bitcoin users, including money markets, DEXs, launchpads, stablecoins, and more, all with seamless user experiences.”

Proximity Labs 创始人 Kendall Cole 表示：“BTC 轻客户端是 NEAR 现在支持的比特币堆栈的关键部分。” “与链签名相结合时，开发人员将能够为比特币用户创建一套全新的应用程序，包括货币市场、DEX、启动板、稳定币等，所有这些都具有无缝的用户体验。”

Aurora Labs also unveiled plans to deploy the Satoshi Bridge, which will be the next step in connecting the Bitcoin and NEAR ecosystems. This bridge will allow users to directly transfer Bitcoin (BTC) onto the NEAR blockchain.

Aurora Labs 还公布了部署 Satoshi Bridge 的计划，这将是连接比特币和 NEAR 生态系统的下一步。这座桥将允许用户直接将比特币（BTC）转移到 NEAR 区块链上。
