比特币矿业巨头Foundry和Antpool占据网络算力的56.7%

链上数据显示，比特币挖矿巨头 Foundry 和 Antpool 占据了比特币区块链网络 56.7% 的算力。

Bitcoin mining pools Foundry USA and Antpool together control over 56% of the total hashrate on the Bitcoin blockchain network, according to the latest data.

最新数据显示，比特币矿池 Foundry USA 和 Antpool 合计控制着比特币区块链网络总算力的 56% 以上。

The total hashrate on the Bitcoin network stood at around 651 exahashes per second (EH/s) on August 25, the data from BTC.com showed. Foundry USA was leading the pack with 215.79 EH/s, followed by Antpool at 153.55 EH/s.

Foundry’s hashrate had increased from 140.26 EH/s at the beginning of 2024, while Antpool’s hashrate had also grown from 147.40 EH/s at the start of the year.

Foundry 的算力从 2024 年初的 140.26 EH/s 增长，而 Antpool 的算力也从年初的 147.40 EH/s 增长。

The rising hashrate dominance of a few large mining pools has raised concerns about the centralization of the Bitcoin network.

一些大型矿池的算力主导地位不断上升，引发了人们对比特币网络中心化的担忧。

Centralization is a key concern for Bitcoin, which was designed to be a decentralized digital currency. If a few large entities were to control a majority of the hashrate, it could give them the power to manipulate blocks or collude to influence the network.

中心化是比特币的一个关键问题，比特币被设计为一种去中心化的数字货币。如果几个大型实体控制了大部分算力，它们就可能拥有操纵区块或串通影响网络的权力。

The increasing dominance of large mining pools has also made it harder for smaller miners to compete in the space. The high costs of mining equipment, combined with the rising hashrate, made it difficult for small miners to achieve profitability.

大型矿池的主导地位日益增强，也使得小型矿商在该领域的竞争变得更加困难。挖矿设备成本高昂，加上算力不断上升，使得小矿商难以实现盈利。

As a result, many smaller miners were being pushed out of the space, leaving the field open to large-scale operations like Foundry and Antpool.

结果，许多规模较小的矿商被挤出这个领域，为 Foundry 和 Antpool 等大规模运营商留下了空间。

The growing control of Bitcoin’s hashrate by a few large players raises questions about the future of the network. If the trend towards centralization continues, Bitcoin could face risks that it was originally designed to avoid, such as reduced network security and increased potential for manipulation.

少数大型参与者对比特币算力的控制日益增强，引发了人们对网络未来的疑问。如果中心化趋势继续下去，比特币可能会面临其最初旨在避免的风险，例如网络安全性降低和操纵可能性增加。

Industry experts have called for a reassessment of Bitcoin’s mining model to ensure that it remains open and accessible to participants of all sizes. Some suggest that innovations in mining technology or changes to the network’s consensus mechanism could help level the playing field.

行业专家呼吁重新评估比特币的挖矿模式，以确保其保持开放并可供各种规模的参与者使用。一些人认为，挖矿技术的创新或网络共识机制的改变可能有助于创造公平的竞争环境。

As the debate over Bitcoin’s decentralization intensifies, the actions of major mining players like Foundry USA and Antpool will be closely watched. Their influence on the network will play a crucial role in shaping the future of Bitcoin and its role as a decentralised digital currency.

随着关于比特币去中心化的争论愈演愈烈，Foundry USA 和 Antpool 等主要矿业公司的行动将受到密切关注。他们对网络的影响将在塑造比特币的未来及其作为去中心化数字货币的作用方面发挥至关重要的作用。
