以太坊白皮书 11 周年，标志着智能合约和 DeFi 周年

以太坊基础技术文档的第一次迭代——白皮书，已经 11 岁了。

The first iteration of Ethereum’s foundational technical document, the white paper, has turned 11 years old.

以太坊基础技术文档的第一次迭代——白皮书，已经 11 岁了。

The first iteration of the document, also called the “proto-white paper” was first shared by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin in November 2013, in an email titled ‘Introducing Ethereum: a generalized smart contract/DAC platform.’

该文档的第一版也称为“原型白皮书”，由以太坊联合创始人 Vitalik Buterin 于 2013 年 11 月在一封题为“以太坊简介：通用智能合约/DAC 平台”的电子邮件中首次分享。

This marks the first time the Ethereum white paper was shared, although Buterin made some minor changes, before releasing the first version on Ethereum’s website, called a “next-generation smart contract and decentralized application platform,” inspired by Satoshi Nakamoto’s development of the Bitcoin network in 2009.

这标志着以太坊白皮书首次被共享，尽管 Buterin 在以太坊网站上发布第一个版本之前做了一些细微的修改，被称为“下一代智能合约和去中心化应用平台”，其灵感来自于中本聪对比特币的开发2009年网络。

Buterin’s innovations introduced the concept of self-executing, blockchain-based smart contracts, which laid the foundation for all the emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) applications such as yield-farming, decentralized lending, borrowing and staking.

Buterin 的创新引入了自动执行、基于区块链的智能合约的概念，为所有新兴的去中心化金融 (DeFi) 应用奠定了基础，例如收益耕作、去中心化借贷、借贷和质押。

The 11-year anniversary is another testament to the growing utility of DeFi, which is increasingly becoming a financial paradigm next to the banking system, according to James Wo, the founder and CEO of DFG. Wo told Cointelegraph:

DFG 创始人兼首席执行官 James Wo 表示，11 周年纪念日再次证明了 DeFi 的实用性不断增长，它正日益成为仅次于银行系统的金融范式。沃告诉 Cointelegraph：

Lending is the second-largest protocol category on Ethereum, worth a combined $32.8 billion in total value locked (TVL) across 460 protocols, according to DefiLlama data.

根据 DefiLlama 的数据，借贷是以太坊上第二大协议类别，460 个协议的锁定总价值 (TVL) 总计达 328 亿美元。

While smart contracts and DeFi are disintermediating the financial services sector, Ethereum introduced significant innovation for other industries as well.

虽然智能合约和 DeFi 正在使金融服务行业去中介化，但以太坊也为其他行业带来了重大创新。

The travel and tourism industry has also benefited from the world’s first smart contract platform, according to Pablo Castillo, CEO and chief technology officer of Chain4Travel, who told Cointelegraph:

Chain4Travel 首席执行官兼首席技术官 Pablo Castillo 告诉 Cointelegraph，旅行和旅游业也受益于世界上第一个智能合约平台：

Over the next 10 years, Ethereum will solidify its role as DeFi’s “foundational infrastructure layer,” but solving its current interoperability challenges will be crucial for its continued adoption, added Castillo.

Castillo 补充道，未来 10 年，以太坊将巩固其作为 DeFi“基础设施层”的角色，但解决当前的互操作性挑战对于其持续采用至关重要。

Due to the siloed nature of blockchain networks, cross-chain interoperability is a significant technical challenge. This fragmentation is a growing user experience issue for crypto holders since bridging assets between layer-1 networks like Ethereum is costly and carries security risks.

由于区块链网络的孤立性，跨链互操作性是一个重大的技术挑战。对于加密货币持有者来说，这种碎片化是一个日益严重的用户体验问题，因为在以太坊等第一层网络之间桥接资产成本高昂，并且存在安全风险。

During the first 10 years, Ethereum became the home for millions of smart contracts and thousands of decentralized applications (DApps).

在最初的 10 年里，以太坊成为数百万个智能合约和数千个去中心化应用程序 (DApp) 的家园。

Ethereum’s rapid adoption will likely accelerate in the next 10 years, especially among institutions, according to Alex Mizrahi, the co-founder and chief technology officer of the Chromia blockchain platform.

Chromia 区块链平台联合创始人兼首席技术官 Alex Mizrahi 表示，未来 10 年，以太坊的快速采用可能会加速，尤其是在机构中。

However, facilitating the next wave of adoption will require more robust security measures, according to Eskil Tsu, co-founder of GoPlus Web3 security solution, who wrote:

然而，GoPlus Web3 安全解决方案联合创始人 Eskil Tsu 表示，促进下一波采用将需要更强大的安全措施，他写道：

Hack and cyberattacks are a growing concern in the crypto space. Crypto hackers stole nearly $19 billion across 785 reported hacks, in the 13 years since June 2019, according to a Crystal Intelligence report shared with Cointelegraph.

黑客和网络攻击是加密货币领域日益受到关注的问题。根据与 Cointelegraph 分享的 Crystal Intelligence 报告，自 2019 年 6 月以来的 13 年里，加密货币黑客在 785 起报告的黑客攻击中窃取了近 190 亿美元。
