加密货币交易所 Kraken 推出了自己的跨网络兼容的 ERC-20 比特币表示形式

在 10 月 17 日的一篇博客文章中，Kraken 推出了其名为 kBTC 的打包比特币变体——每个变体都将得到等量实际比特币 1:1 的完全支持。

Crypto exchange Kraken has launched its own cross-network-compatible ERC-20 representation of Bitcoin.

加密货币交易所 Kraken 推出了自己的跨网络兼容的 ERC-20 比特币表示形式。

According to an Oct. 17 blog post, Kraken has unveiled its wrapped bitcoin variant dubbed kBTC — each fully backed 1:1 by an equivalent amount of actual Bitcoin custodied by the exchange.

根据 10 月 17 日的博客文章，Kraken 推出了名为 kBTC 的打包比特币变体，每个变体均由交易所托管的等量实际比特币以 1:1 的比例提供支持。

Kraken's custody unit, known as Kraken Financial, is a Wyoming-chartered Special Purpose Depository Institution. The kBTC smart contract has also undergone an audit by Trail of Bits, an external security firm.

Kraken 的托管单位称为 Kraken Financial，是怀俄明州特许的特殊目的存款机构。 kBTC 智能合约还经过了外部安全公司 Trail of Bits 的审核。

“kBTC builds upon Bitcoin’s fundamental strengths – security, scarcity and its role as a store of value – and extends its utility further, into DeFi and beyond,” Kraken stated.

Kraken 表示：“kBTC 建立在比特币的基本优势（安全性、稀缺性及其作为价值储存的作用）之上，并将其效用进一步扩展到 DeFi 及其他领域。”

The new token will be cross-chain compatible, allowing for its integration into Ethereum, OP Mainnet and potentially even certain non-EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible ecosystems, Kraken noted.

Kraken 指出，新代币将是跨链兼容的，允许其集成到以太坊、OP 主网，甚至可能集成到某些非 EVM（以太坊虚拟机）兼容的生态系统中。

Kraken is not the first crypto exchange to launch its own version of wrapped bitcoin. Last month, Coinbase unveiled cBTC — a tokenized version of Bitcoin on both Ethereum and its Layer 2 network. 21Shares also launched a wrapped bitcoin product called 21BTC on Ethereum.

Kraken 并不是第一个推出自己版本的包装比特币的加密货币交易所。上个月，Coinbase 推出了 cBTC——以太坊及其第 2 层网络上的比特币代币化版本。 21Shares还在以太坊上推出了一款名为21BTC的打包比特币产品。

BitGo was among the original creators of the WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin) token that launched in January 2019. WBTC became the largest Bitcoin-based ERC-20 token deployed in decentralized finance (DeFi), with native integrations on several chains including Ethereum, Tron, Osmosis and Base.

BitGo 是 2019 年 1 月推出的 WBTC（Wrapped Bitcoin）代币的原始创建者之一。WBTC 成为去中心化金融（DeFi）中部署的最大的基于比特币的 ERC-20 代币，并在包括以太坊、Tron、渗透和碱。

The firm faced scrutiny earlier this year after BitGo custody was shifted to a multi-jurisdictional joint venture with BiT Globall, which is linked to Tron founder Justin Sun.

今年早些时候，BitGo 的托管权被转移到与 BiT Globall 的跨司法管辖区合资企业（该企业与 Tron 创始人孙宇晨有联系）后，该公司面临审查。

Earlier this month, BitGo completed the transition to a multi-jurisdictional custody setup. WBTC remains the largest version of tokenized Bitcoin with a market capitalization of $10 billion.

本月早些时候，BitGo 完成了向多司法管辖区托管设置的过渡。 WBTC 仍然是最大的代币化比特币版本，市值达 100 亿美元。
