隆重推出 $kBTC——一种由比特币 1:1 完全支持的 ERC-20 代币，由 Kraken 安全持有，并且始终可在链上验证。更多的可能性。更多功能。更加透明。让我们仔细看看

Kraken 加密货币交易所推出了自己的代币，称为 Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC)。每个 kBTC 均由 Kraken Financial 持有的比特币以 1:1 的比例支持

Kraken crypto exchange has introduced its own token called Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC). Each kBTC is backed 1:1 by Bitcoin that is held by Kraken Financial, a Wyoming-chartered financial institution. This means that for every kBTC that is issued, there is one real Bitcoin that is stored by Kraken.

Kraken 加密货币交易所推出了自己的代币，称为 Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC)。每个 kBTC 均由怀俄明州特许金融机构 Kraken Financial 持有的比特币以 1:1 的比例支持。这意味着每发行一个 kBTC，Kraken 都会存储一个真实的比特币。

The token is built on the ERC-20 standard and is designed to work on both the Ethereum network and OP Mainnet (formerly known as Optimism), according to a press release on Oct. 17.

据 10 月 17 日发布的新闻稿称，该代币基于 ERC-20 标准构建，旨在在以太坊网络和 OP 主网（以前称为 Optimism）上运行。

“With kBTC, we’re bringing the power of Bitcoin to new networks, underpinned by the trust and security expertise Kraken has established over the last decade,” Kraken said in the press release.

Kraken 在新闻稿中表示：“通过 kBTC，我们将比特币的力量带入新网络，并以 Kraken 在过去十年中建立的信任和安全专业知识为基础。”

The wrapped Bitcoin will allow users to use their Bitcoin in decentralized applications (DApps) that normally don’t support Bitcoin.

打包的比特币将允许用户在通常不支持比特币的去中心化应用程序（DApp）中使用他们的比特币。

Kraken has also made on-chain data available for public inspection to ensure transparency. Users can check the kBTC reserves by viewing the custody address and smart contracts for both Ethereum and OP Mainnet.

Kraken 还向公众提供链上数据以确保透明度。用户可以通过查看以太坊和OP主网的托管地址和智能合约来检查kBTC储备。

Kraken also said that it hired Trail of Bits, a security firm, to audit the smart contract, and the token passed all tests.

Kraken还表示，它聘请了安全公司Trail of Bits来审核智能合约，该代币通过了所有测试。

Wrapped tokens like kBTC allow assets to be used across multiple blockchains, which improves interoperability in decentralized finance (DeFi). For example, kBTC can be used on Ethereum to trade, lend, or borrow Bitcoin on various DeFi platforms.

像 kBTC 这样的打包代币允许资产在多个区块链上使用，从而提高了去中心化金融（DeFi）的互操作性。例如，kBTC 可以在以太坊上使用，在各种 DeFi 平台上交易、借出或借入比特币。

At the time of launch, Kraken will not support any spot markets for kBTC, but users will be able to redeem the token for actual Bitcoin at any time.

在发布时，Kraken 将不支持 kBTC 的任何现货市场，但用户可以随时将代币兑换为实际的比特币。

The exchange will integrate kBTC with major DeFi protocols, including Yearn, Curve, Paraswap, and others. Additionally, Kraken set the minimum deposit for kBTC at 0.00026 BTC, which is roughly $15 at current prices.

该交易所将把 kBTC 与主要 DeFi 协议集成，包括 Yearn、Curve、Paraswap 等。此外，Kraken 将 kBTC 的最低存款额设置为 0.00026 BTC，按当前价格计算约为 15 美元。
