就创造就业机会而言，新兴区块链行业落后于人工智能部门，但是到2030年，这种招聘差距可能会缩小。

根据CoIntelegraph的一份新的BITGET研究报告，区块链仍然是技术行业中最小的部门之一，拥有约30万个全球就业机会，而AI和机器学习的150万个领域和2500万个软件开发。

The emerging blockchain industry lags behind the artificial intelligence sector in terms of job creation, but this hiring gap may narrow by 2030.

就创造就业机会而言，新兴区块链行业落后于人工智能部门，但是到2030年，这种招聘差距可能会缩小。

Remaining one of the smallest sectors in the tech industry, blockchain has about 300,000 global jobs, compared to 1.5 million in AI and machine learning and 25 million in software development, according to a new Bitget Research report shared with Cointelegraph.

根据CoIntelegraph分享了一份新的BITGET研究报告，区块链仍然是科技行业中最小的部门之一，拥有约300,000个全球工作岗位，而在AI和机器学习中有150万个工作岗位，软件开发的2500万个工作岗位。

The blockchain sector added around 20,000 new jobs in 2024, according to job listings aggregated from platforms like LinkedIn, Web3 Jobs and Crypto Job List.

根据从LinkedIn，Web3 Job和加密货币工作清单等平台汇总的工作清单，区块链行业在2024年增加了约20,000个新工作。

While blockchain-based jobs had an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45%, outpacing most traditional tech sectors, it trails the AI industry’s 57% CAGR, according to the report.

该报告称，虽然基于区块链的工作的平均复合年增长率（CAGR）为45％，超过了大多数传统技术领域，但它却落后于AI行业的57％的复合年增长率。

The AI industry’s maturity and larger share of venture capital investment are the main reasons behind the hiring discrepancy, Vugar Usi Zade, chief operating officer of Bitget exchange, said:

Bitget Exchange首席运营官Vugar Usi Zade说：AI行业的成熟度和更大的风险投资份额是招聘差异的主要原因。

Venture investors put more than $100 billion into AI startups in 2024, with AI-centric titles topping a million vacancies worldwide. Blockchain companies, meanwhile, advertise barely 20,000 openings and drew only about $5.4 billion in new funding during the same period.

风险投资者在2024年投入了超过1000亿美元的AI初创公司，以AI为中心的冠军头衔超过了全球100万个职位空缺。同时，区块链公司仅宣传20,000个空缺，同一时期仅获得了约54亿美元的新资金。

May generate over 1 million jobs by 2030

到2030年可能会产生超过100万个工作岗位

AI-related job listings have risen between 75% and 100% year-over-year, while blockchain job growth remains around the 45% to 60% growth range.

与AI相关的工作清单同比增长了75％至100％，而区块链的工作增长量保持在45％至60％的增长范围内。

Blockchain could exceed 1 million jobs by 2030 if it manages to scale at the same rate as AI-based roles, the report said.

报告说，如果区块链设法以与基于AI的角色相同的速度扩展，则区块链将超过100万个工作岗位。

More regulatory clarity from laws such as Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) may encourage blockchain firms to increase their hiring efforts, Zade said:

Zade表示，从加密资产管理法规（MICA）等法律（例如欧洲市场）的法规清晰度可能会鼓励区块链公司增加招聘工作，Zade说：

Second comes enterprise-grade performance: Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade cut typical layer-2 fees by more than 95%, signaling that blockchains can now handle corporate traffic at an acceptable cost.

第二次是企业级的性能：以太坊的Dencun升级典型第2层费用超过95％，这表明区块链现在可以以可接受的成本处理公司流量。

While blockchain-based jobs are poised for growth, “AI will naturally garner more talent in the next decade,” Jawad Ashraf, CEO of Vanar Chain, told Cointelegraph.

Vanar Chain的首席执行官Jawad Ashraf告诉Cointelegraph，虽然基于区块链的工作有望增长，但“ AI自然会在未来十年中获得更多人才”。

“This is because AI’s market integration has been faster than any other modern technology we can remember,” he said. “If you look at blockchain, we’re still very much focused on integrating with TradFi and broader Web3 markets like gaming, real-world tokenization, etc.”

他说：“这是因为AI的市场整合比我们还记得的任何其他现代技术要快。” “如果您查看区块链，我们仍然非常专注于与TradFI和更广泛的Web3市场集成，例如游戏，现实World Tokenization等。”

He added:

他补充说：

Blockchain still hasn’t penetrated the more conventional consumer-oriented markets. It will, in the near future, but we are not there yet.

区块链仍然没有渗透到更传统的面向消费者的市场。它将在不久的将来，但我们还没有。

‘Not competing for talent’

“不竞争人才”

“AI and blockchain aren’t competing for talent; they’re working together to create new opportunities,” Yakov Lebedev, chief business development officer at 3Commas, a trading automation solution, said.

交易自动化解决方案3 -Commas的首席业务发展官Yakov Lebedev说：“ AI和区块链没有争夺人才；他们共同努力创造新的机会。”

Combining the two technologies enables “sophisticated financial tools accessible for everyone, not just big institutions, he said, adding:

他说，将这两种技术结合起来可以使“每个人都可以使用复杂的财务工具，而不仅仅是大型机构，并补充说：

Lebedev added that the integration of blockchain with AI is driving steady job growth in both fields, as financial and tech firms move integrated solutions from pilot programs into core operations.

Lebedev补充说，随着金融和科技公司将集成解决方案从试点计划转移到核心运营中，区块链与AI的集成正在推动这两个领域的稳定工作增长。

Thanks to the synergistic benefits of the two technologies, blockchain job growth may start mirroring the AI industry, according to Adi Ben-Ari, founder and CEO at Applied Blockchain, an AI-powered blockchain development firm.

据Apperied Blockchain的创始人兼首席执行官Adi Ben-Ari表示，由于这两种技术的协同好处，区块链的工作增长可能会开始反映AI行业。

AI technology is “probabilistic and introduces uncertainty,” which creates more demand for blockchain and cryptographic technologies, he told Cointelegraph.

他告诉Cointelegraph，AI技术是“概率的，并引入不确定性”，这对区块链和加密技术产生了更多的需求。

“AI produces outcomes that are not always accurate, can be fake, and can sometimes be incorrect. This new uncertainty needs to be countered by a technology that brings absolute certainty, and this is where blockchain and cryptography come in.”

“人工智能产生的结果并不总是准确，可能是假的，有时可能是不正确的。这种新的不确定性需要用带来绝对确定性的技术来抵消，这是区块链和密码学的所在地。”

Ben-Ari added that blockchain’s ability to secure sensitive information through cryptography would become increasingly important as AI consumes larger amounts of personal data.

Ben-Ari补充说，随着AI消耗大量的个人数据，区块链通过加密技术获得敏感信息的能力将变得越来越重要。

AI agents are already using cryptocurrency for autonomous transactions. On Dec. 16, 2024, Luna, an AI agent on Virtuals Protocol, paid another AI agent from STIX Protocol, in exchange for its image generation services — sending $1.77 worth of Virtual (VIRTUAL) tokens, onchain data shows.

AI代理已经在使用加密货币进行自主交易。 OnChain数据显示，在2024年12月16日，Virtuals协议上的AI代理Luna向Stix协议支付了另一个AI代理，以换取其图像生成服务 - 发送价值1.77美元的虚拟（虚拟）令牌。
