Chainlink Whale 在使用 100 多个钱包玩弄系统后解除了质押头寸

2022 年，区块链项目 Chainlink 推出了新功能，允许加密货币投资者质押该项目的代币——让用户

A Chainlink whale is apparently unwinding some of its substantial LINK holdings, a move that could net the trader a hefty profit.

Chainlink 鲸鱼显然正在出售其持有的一些大量 LINK 股票，此举可能会给交易者带来巨额利润。

According to blockchain data analysis by Unchained, some 113 staking wallets linked to the trader have claimed their rewards from Chainlink (LINK) staking since November.

根据 Unchained 的区块链数据分析，自 11 月以来，约有 113 个与该交易者相关的质押钱包已从 Chainlink (LINK) 质押中领取了奖励。

Starting on Dec. 29, the Chainlink “whale,” a term used to describe traders with large positions, transferred a total of 280,164 LINK tokens — now worth about $6 million — to Binance, based on analysis by Unchained. The transfer of tokens to a crypto exchange is often taken as a sign that the holder is planning to sell.

根据 Unchained 的分析，从 12 月 29 日开始，Chainlink“鲸鱼”（一个用于描述持有大量头寸的交易者的术语）向币安转移了总计 280,164 个 LINK 代币（目前价值约 600 万美元）。将代币转移到加密货币交易所通常被视为持有者计划出售的迹象。

The latest transfers took place on Monday when the wallet address sent 20,244 LINK to the crypto exchange.

最近的转账发生在周一，钱包地址向加密货币交易所发送了 20,244 个 LINK。

The whale’s actions suggest that they are capitalizing on LINK’s price increase since the launch of Chainlink staking in December 2022. LINK is trading at $21.27 at press time, up roughly 200% since then.

鲸鱼的行为表明，他们正在利用自 2022 年 12 月推出 Chainlink 质押以来 LINK 的价格上涨。截至发稿时，LINK 的交易价格为 21.27 美元，自那时以来上涨了约 200%。

The Chainlink staking program allows LINK holders to stake their tokens in the protocol in order to contribute to its security performance. These deposits act as guarantees for the performance of the project’s flagship “oracle” — a blockchain-integrated data feed that essentially relays crypto prices into on-chain protocols like decentralized lenders and exchanges. In return for helping to secure the network, stakers earn rewards paid out in LINK.

Chainlink 质押计划允许 LINK 持有者将其代币质押到协议中，以为其安全性能做出贡献。这些存款充当了该项目旗舰“预言机”性能的保证——一种区块链集成的数据源，本质上将加密货币价格传递到去中心化贷方和交易所等链上协议中。作为帮助保护网络安全的回报，质押者可以获得以 LINK 形式支付的奖励。

The LINK whale used one address, which begins with 0x4a4, to receive its LINK holdings from 114 wallets. All but one of them had staked 7,000 tokens. The remaining wallet received 60,244 LINK tokens from stake.link, a liquid staking provider for Chainlink, over the past eight days.

LINK 鲸鱼使用一个以 0x4a4 开头的地址来接收来自 114 个钱包的 LINK 持有量。除一名外，其他人都押注了 7,000 个代币。剩下的钱包在过去八天内从 Chainlink 的流动性质押提供商 shot.link 收到了 60,244 个 LINK 代币。

The 113 staking wallets each claimed their rewards between November and January and consolidated their holdings into the 0x4a4 address.

113 个质押钱包均在 11 月至 1 月期间领取了奖励，并将其持有的资产合并到 0x4a4 地址中。

In a blog post from August 2023, Chainlink changed its staking policies to allow a maximum of 15,000 LINK to be staked from a single address. Before the new staking policy, the limit per staking address was 7,000 tokens.

在 2023 年 8 月的一篇博文中，Chainlink 更改了其质押政策，允许从单个地址质押最多 15,000 个 LINK。在新的质押政策之前，每个质押地址的限额为 7,000 个代币。

Before the consolidation, the group of 113 Chainlink staking addresses each received their initial tokens from a single address, 0xC54b, which had the name “Oldwhite” on NFT platform OpenSea.

在合并之前，这组 113 个 Chainlink 质押地址均从一个地址 0xC54b 收到了初始代币，该地址在 NFT 平台 OpenSea 上的名称为“Oldwhite”。

Dispersing thousands of LINK tokens across many wallet addresses appears to have been a way for Oldwhite to “Sybil” the system — a term used when a trader pretends that one entity is actually numerous in order to get around a token limit per staking address, which was set at a maximum of 7,000 tokens per address to “reduce the risk of a few participants dominating the pool in the early stages,” according to a 2022 blog post from Chainlink contributors.

在许多钱包地址上分散数千个 LINK 代币似乎是 Oldwhite 对该系统进行“女巫”攻击的一种方式——当交易者假装一个实体实际上数量众多时使用这个术语，以绕过每个质押地址的代币限制。根据 Chainlink 贡献者 2022 年的一篇博客文章，每个地址最多可容纳 7,000 个代币，以“降低少数参与者在早期阶段主导矿池的风险”。

The whale’s LINK transfers to Binance after using over a hundred wallet addresses to earn tokens from Chainlink staking highlight the difficulty in preventing users from employing these Sybil strategies.

在使用一百多个钱包地址从 Chainlink 质押中赚取代币后，鲸鱼的 LINK 转移到币安，这凸显了阻止用户采用这些 Sybil 策略的难度。
