Bitcoin developer Ben Allen has secured a $100,000 grant from investment firm Maelstrom to support the development of Payjoin, a privacy-focused tool that also aims to improve Bitcoin’s scalability.

比特币开发商本·艾伦（Ben Allen）已从投资公司Maelstrom获得了100,000美元的赠款，以支持Payjoin的开发，Payjoin是一种以隐私为中心的工具，旨在提高比特币的可伸缩性。

Announced on May 20, Maelstrom will be funding Allen’s work on his Payjoin devkit alongside Dan Gould. The system allows Bitcoin (BTC) senders and receivers to use batched transactions, with positive implications for scalability and privacy.

Maelstrom于5月20日宣布，将为Allen与Dan Gould一起在他的Payjoin Devkit上资助。该系统允许比特币（BTC）发件人使用批处理交易，对可扩展性和隐私产生积极影响。

Payjoin was first proposed by Nicolas Dorier in 2019 in Bitcoin improvement proposal (BIP) 78. The core principle behind the system is that both senders and receivers may contribute inputs to a transaction.

Payjoin首先是由Nicolas Dorier在2019年在比特币改进建议（BIP）78中提出的。系统背后的核心原则是发件人和接收者均可为交易提供投入。

“Namely that privacy is enhanced and improved consolidation of transaction outputs is achieved, benefiting scalability ,” a Maelstrom statement reads.

Maelstrom声明写道：“即增强了隐私，并改善了交易输出的合并，从而使可伸缩性受益。”

A Maelstrom representative told Cointelegraph that grantees are paid monthly for a total of $100,000 per year in Bitcoin and Allen’s grant will last one year. There are no concrete milestones and the grant is managed on a hands-off approach.

一位漩涡代表告诉Cointelegraph，授予者每月以比特币每年100,000美元的价格支付授予者，而艾伦的赠款将持续一年。没有具体的里程碑，该赠款是通过开发方法管理的。

Payjoin: Soon in wallets near you?

Payjoin：很快在您附近的钱包里？

Allen will be working on improving Payjoin implementations, with the clear objective being to make it possible for the feature to be added to more wallets. He added that the funding will allow him to work on the project full time.

艾伦（Allen）将致力于改善工资加入实施，明确的目标是使该功能可以添加到更多钱包中。他补充说，这笔资金将使他能够全职从事该项目。

The announcement notes that the system presents challenges, with the receiver needing to be online and the payment communication flow being more complex than normal non-interactive Bitcoin transactions.

该公告指出，该系统提出了挑战，接收器需要在线，付款通信流比普通非交互性比特币交易更为复杂。

Maelstrom chief investment officer and BitMEX crypto exchange co-founder and former CEO Arthur Hayes said that “improving financial privacy in Bitcoin is extremely important.”

Maelstrom首席投资官和Bitmex Crypto Exchange联合创始人和前首席执行官Arthur Hayes表示：“改善比特币的财务隐私非常重要。”

“Despite the closure of CoinJoin services, the community continues to innovate and develop new privacy-enhancing technologies, such as Payjoin, zkSNACKs, and ZK-rollups, to ensure that users can maintain control over their financial data and transactions,” Hayes added.

Hayes补充说：“尽管关闭了CoinJoin服务，但社区仍在继续创新和开发新的隐私增强技术，例如Payjoin，Zksnacks和Zk-rollups，以确保用户可以维持对其财务数据和交易的控制，” Hayes补充说。

A Maelstrom representative explained to Cointelegraph that the firm “is keen to support more grantees in the privacy area.” The company is actively seeking candidates who have a strong track record in Bitcoin privacy projects.

漩涡的代表向Cointelegraph解释说，该公司“渴望在隐私区域支持更多的受赠人”。该公司正在积极寻找在比特币隐私项目中拥有良好往绩的候选人。

Enjoy the benefits whether you use it or not

无论您是否使用，享受好处

Hayes noted that “Payjoin adoption improves the privacy of even the people who don’t use it.”

海耶斯指出：“ Payjoin采用率甚至不使用它的人们的隐私。”

Allen said he believes privacy is important for Bitcoin users to enjoy a better experience and control their financial data when using it daily.

艾伦说，他认为隐私对比特币用户每天使用时享受更好的体验并控制其财务数据很重要。

“I'm currently building out benchmarks to help downstream developers implement Payjoin in individual wallet software as well as expanding test coverage to ensure consistent and reproducible code. We're also working on making it easier to use and embed Payjoin in other projects. Encouraging its adoption is the biggest step we can take for simplifying the experience and encouraging Payjoin adoption by moving the complexities mostly away from the user,” Allen told Cointelegraph.

The Maelstrom representative told Cointelegraph that “a key metric for Payjoin success would be adoption by popular open source Bitcoin wallets.”

漩涡式代表告诉Cointelegraph，“ Payjoin成功的关键指标将是由流行的开源比特币钱包采用的。”

“In particular if the BitcoinCore wallet ever adopts it, that would be a huge signal of success,” they added.

他们补充说：“特别是，如果比特素康（Bitcoincore）的钱包采用它，那将是成功的巨大信号。”
