闪电实验室测试在比特币区块链上发行稳定币的 Taproot Assets 协议

比特币闪电网络背后的开发商 Lightning Labs 测试了一种在比特币区块链上发行稳定币的协议，旨在促进比特币的新用途并扩大其作为全球货币的用途。

Lightning Labs Tests Taproot Assets Protocol for Stablecoin Issuance on Bitcoin Blockchain

闪电实验室测试在比特币区块链上发行稳定币的 Taproot Assets 协议

In a significant development for the Bitcoin ecosystem, Lightning Labs, the company behind the Lightning Network, has successfully tested a protocol that enables the issuance of stablecoins on the Bitcoin blockchain.

作为比特币生态系统的一项重大发展，闪电网络背后的公司 Lightning Labs 成功测试了一种能够在比特币区块链上发行稳定币的协议。

CEO Elizabeth Stark revealed the development at the Financial Times Crypto and Digital Assets Summit held this week. "We've released an early part of the code in October, and actually just on this past Thursday, demoed the first-ever transaction on Lightning of an asset," she said.

首席执行官伊丽莎白·斯塔克在本周举行的金融时报加密货币和数字资产峰会上透露了这一进展。 “我们在 10 月份发布了代码的早期部分，实际上就在上周四，演示了闪电网络上的第一笔资产交易，”她说。

The Taproot Assets protocol aims to facilitate the creation of crypto dollars and stablecoins on the Bitcoin blockchain. Stark emphasized the importance of addressing real-world problems and practical use cases, rather than solely focusing on speculative or meme-based cryptocurrencies.

Taproot Assets 协议旨在促进在比特币区块链上创建加密美元和稳定币。斯塔克强调解决现实世界问题和实际用例的重要性，而不是仅仅关注投机或基于模因的加密货币。

"I really care deeply about solving real problems for real people, as opposed to meme coins or gambling," Stark said. "The ability to position stablecoins and other assets atop Bitcoin will facilitate new use cases and bring more people on to the internet of money and digital assets."

“我真的非常关心为真实的人解决实际问题，而不是模因硬币或赌博，”斯塔克说。 “将稳定币和其他资产置于比特币之上的能力将促进新的用例，并使更多的人进入货币和数字资产互联网。”

Stark noted a recent surge in developer interest in Bitcoin following the halving event. "Many builders are coming back" to the blockchain, she said. This growing developer ecosystem is evident in the emergence of decentralized finance (DeFi) projects on Bitcoin, such as bitVM, which enables developers to create Turing-complete Bitcoin contracts.

斯塔克指出，在减半事件发生后，开发商对比特币的兴趣最近激增。她说，“许多建筑商正在回归”区块链。这种不断发展的开发者生态系统在比特币上的去中心化金融（DeFi）项目的出现中得到了体现，例如 bitVM，它使开发者能够创建图灵完备的比特币合约。

Eliminating Cross-Border Barriers

消除跨境障碍

Lightning Labs' technology aims to eliminate the concept of cross-border transactions and enable seamless global value transfer.

闪电实验室的技术旨在消除跨境交易的概念，实现无缝的全球价值转移。

"The concept of a cross-border payment is something that we hear about a lot," said Stark. "Why should we even call it ‘cross border’ anymore? We don't have cross-border emails, we don't have cross-border text messages. I don't have to pay any fees to send an image to a friend across the world—value on the internet, and money, should function the same."

“跨境支付的概念是我们经常听到的，”斯塔克说。 “为什么我们还要称其为‘跨境’？我们没有跨境电子邮件，没有跨境短信。我无需支付任何费用即可将图像发送给朋友在世界各地——互联网上的价值和金钱应该发挥相同的作用。”

Stark cited a recent IMF report that highlighted the increasing significance of Bitcoin in facilitating remittances and evading capital controls in emerging markets. "That finding was not at all surprising to those of us who are on the ground who are working with developers and communities in these places," she said. "In markets subject to hyperinflation and authoritarian regimes, Bitcoin becomes an asset and a means of transacting when they don't have other options."

斯塔克引用了国际货币基金组织最近的一份报告，该报告强调了比特币在促进新兴市场汇款和逃避资本管制方面日益重要。她说：“对于我们这些在当地与开发商和社区合作的人来说，这一发现一点也不奇怪。” “在受到恶性通货膨胀和独裁政权影响的市场中，当他们没有其他选择时，比特币就成为一种资产和交易手段。”

The Taproot Assets protocol, combined with the capabilities of the Lightning Network, represents a significant advancement in the Bitcoin ecosystem. It has the potential to expand Bitcoin's utility as a global value transfer network, particularly in regions where financial access and stability are limited.

Taproot Assets 协议与闪电网络的功能相结合，代表了比特币生态系统的重大进步。它有潜力扩大比特币作为全球价值转移网络的效用，特别是在金融准入和稳定性有限的地区。
