Industry experts Tom Shaughnessy, co-founder of Delphi Digital and host of the Chain Reaction podcast, and Jordan Clifford, managing director of Scalar Capital, recently shared their insights on the anticipated trajectory of the cryptocurrency industry in 2020.

行业专家 Delphi Digital 联合创始人兼 Chain Reaction 播客主持人 Tom Shaughnessy 和 Scalar Capital 董事总经理 Jordan Clifford 最近分享了他们对 2020 年加密货币行业预期轨迹的见解。

Quiet Building in 2019, Fireworks in 2020

2019年的安静建筑，2020年的烟花

According to Shaughnessy, the notable aspect of 2019 was the "quiet" building that took place behind the scenes. However, he believes that 2020 will be a year of significant developments and fierce competition.

肖内西表示，2019 年值得注意的方面是幕后的“安静”建筑。不过，他相信2020年将是重大发展和激烈竞争的一年。

Escalating Layer 1 Wars

第一层战争升级

Shaughnessy predicts a heated battle among Layer 1 smart contract platforms. These platforms, such as Ethereum, Tezos, and Polkadot, provide the infrastructure for decentralized applications to operate. With heightened competition, developers may be enticed by platforms offering faster transaction processing, lower fees, or enhanced security.

Shaughnessy 预测 Layer 1 智能合约平台之间将会爆发激烈的战斗。这些平台，例如以太坊、Tezos 和 Polkadot，为去中心化应用程序的运行提供了基础设施。随着竞争的加剧，开发者可能会被提供更快的交易处理、更低的费用或增强的安全性的平台所吸引。

Token Economics: A Growing Priority

代币经济学：日益优先

The design of token economics, which governs the supply and distribution of cryptocurrency tokens, will become increasingly important in 2020. Clifford anticipates that projects will prioritize token economics that incentivize long-term participation and reduce volatility. This shift will likely stem from the recognition that well-designed token economics can contribute to the success and sustainability of cryptocurrency projects.

控制加密货币代币供应和分配的代币经济学设计将在 2020 年变得越来越重要。Clifford 预计，项目将优先考虑激励长期参与并减少波动性的代币经济学。这种转变可能源于人们认识到精心设计的代币经济学可以促进加密货币项目的成功和可持续性。

Application Layer Development

应用层开发

Clifford foresees a move back towards development at the application layer, away from the focus on protocol development that characterized the early years of the industry. This indicates a shift towards the creation of tangible applications that address real-world problems and cater to user needs.

Clifford 预计，行业将重新转向应用层的开发，而不再专注于协议开发，这是该行业早年的特点。这表明人们正在转向创建有形的应用程序来解决现实世界的问题并满足用户的需求。

Outlook for 2020 and Beyond

2020 年及未来展望

The insights provided by Shaughnessy and Clifford suggest that 2020 will be a year of intensified competition, technological advancements, and a renewed focus on practical applications. The cryptocurrency industry is poised to mature and expand, with the potential to reshape industries and create novel solutions for various sectors.

Shaughnessy 和 Clifford 提供的见解表明，2020 年将是竞争加剧、技术进步以及重新关注实际应用的一年。加密货币行业即将成熟和扩张，有可能重塑行业并为各个行业创造新颖的解决方案。

As the industry matures, regulatory frameworks and governance mechanisms will also evolve, shaping the trajectory of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. It remains to be seen how these factors will interplay and influence the future of this rapidly evolving industry.

随着行业的成熟，监管框架和治理机制也将不断发展，从而塑造加密货币生态系统的轨迹。这些因素将如何相互作用并影响这个快速发展的行业的未来还有待观察。
