HTX Ventures 投资玉米以释放比特币的效用

Corn 最近完成了由 Polychain Capital 领投的 670 万美元种子融资。由长期 DeFi 团队创立

HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of cryptocurrency exchange HTX, has announced a strategic investment in Corn, a new Ethereum Layer 2 network designed to be the ideal platform for utilizing Bitcoin.

加密货币交易所 HTX 的全球投资部门 HTX Ventures 宣布对 Corn 进行战略投资，Corn 是一个新的以太坊第 2 层网络，旨在成为利用比特币的理想平台。

Corn features native BTC bridging, BTC as the gas token, and familiar DeFi applications from leading protocols that address immediate utility for BTC DeFi. The network aligns all participants through its Super Yield model.

Corn 具有原生 BTC 桥接、BTC 作为 Gas 代币以及来自领先协议的熟悉的 DeFi 应用程序，可解决 BTC DeFi 的即时效用。该网络通过其超级收益模型使所有参与者保持一致。

Corn recently completed a $6.7 million seed financing round, led by Polychain Capital. Founded by a team of long-term DeFi builders that started projects like Badger, Code4rena, Slingshot and 0xBow, Corn aims to foster an ecosystem that aligns users, applications, and token holders within a unified, mutually beneficial framework, offering a wealth of applications while unlocking stagnant Bitcoin through BTCN.

Corn 最近完成了由 Polychain Capital 领投的 670 万美元种子融资。 Corn 由长期 DeFi 构建者团队创立，他们启动了 Badger、Code4rena、Slingshot 和 0xBow 等项目，旨在培育一个生态系统，将用户、应用程序和代币持有者在一个统一、互利的框架内协调起来，提供丰富的应用程序同时通过BTCN解锁停滞的比特币。

By enabling BTCN as a gas token via 1:1 backing with Bitcoin, the Corn Layer 2 Network effectively scales Bitcoin via the EVM. BTCN is the first tokenized Bitcoin backed 1:1 by native Bitcoin that is not confined to a single centralized custodian or bridging solution. Instead, it extends its minting rights to include multiple custodians, smart contracts, and bridging protocols. Corn advocates for a hybrid approach to DeFi’s Bitcoin, emphasizing solvency and scalability, allowing Bitcoin holders the flexibility to choose how their Bitcoin is custodied while using it in various ways.

通过与比特币 1:1 支持，使 BTCN 作为 Gas 代币，Corn Layer 2 网络通过 EVM 有效地扩展比特币。 BTCN 是第一个由原生比特币 1:1 支持的代币化比特币，不局限于单一的集中托管或桥接解决方案。相反，它扩展了其铸币权，包括多个托管人、智能合约和桥接协议。 Corn 主张对 DeFi 的比特币采取混合方式，强调偿付能力和可扩展性，让比特币持有者能够灵活选择比特币的托管方式，同时以多种方式使用比特币。

“Corn is led by a team of highly experienced DeFi builders,” said Edward, Managing Partner at HTX Ventures. “It integrates proven DeFi-oriented tokenomic frameworks to attract users and enable native protocols and asset issuers to drive sustainable demand. By aligning interests between users, applications, and token holders through Super Yield Farming, it ensures sustainable liquidity, token utility, and keeps builders engaged within the ecosystem. HTX Ventures is excited to be part of this venture.”

HTX Ventures 的执行合伙人 Edward 表示：“Corn 由一支经验丰富的 DeFi 建设者团队领导。” “它集成了经过验证的面向 DeFi 的代币框架，以吸引用户并使原生协议和资产发行者能够推动可持续的需求。通过 Super Yield Farming 协调用户、应用程序和代币持有者之间的利益，确保可持续的流动性、代币效用，并让构建者参与生态系统。 HTX Ventures 很高兴能够成为该合资企业的一部分。”

“We’re excited to have HTX ventures support Corn from the earliest stage and help bring our vision of making it easy for anyone to finally use their Bitcorn”, said Chris Spadafora, the founder of Corn.

Corn 创始人 Chris Spadafora 表示：“我们很高兴 HTX 企业从一开始就支持 Corn，并帮助实现我们的愿景，让任何人最终都能轻松使用他们的 Bitcorn。”

Corn is pioneering a unique tokenomic design, being the first Layer 2 to extend proven veCRV token to the chain level. Taking inspiration from the veTokenomics pioneered by Curve, Corn incentivizes users and developers by emitting CORN, which can then be used to direct incentives to any app on the chain. Users that engage with that app receive those incentives while stakers of CORN, known as popCORN, get to decide what percentage of CORN incentives go to which app.

Corn 开创了独特的代币经济设计，是第一个将经过验证的 veCRV 代币扩展到链级别的第 2 层。受到 Curve 首创的 veTokenomics 的启发，Corn 通过发行 CORN 来激励用户和开发者，然后可以用 CORN 来直接激励链上的任何应用程序。与该应用程序互动的用户会收到这些激励措施，而 CORN（称为 popCORN）的质押者则可以决定将 CORN 激励措施的百分比分配给哪个应用程序。

Within this thriving ecosystem, Corn presents significant opportunities for Bitcoin holders to finally put their Bitcoin to work. HTX Ventures, having strategically invested in Corn and several top BTC ecosystem projects, is committed to supporting the growth and development of the Bitcoin ecosystem.

在这个蓬勃发展的生态系统中，玉米为比特币持有者提供了重要的机会，让他们的比特币最终发挥作用。 HTX Ventures战略投资了Corn和多个顶级BTC生态项目，致力于支持比特币生态系统的成长和发展。
