开放网络（TON）可能是开启加密货币和去中心化技术主流采用的关键

TON 区块链的病毒式传播很大程度上归功于其与即时通讯应用程序 Telegram 的关系，以及超过 9.5 亿用户可以直接通过即时通讯应用程序访问基于 TON 的区块链应用程序。

The Open Network (TON) blockchain is quickly becoming a favorite among mainstream users thanks to its integration with popular messenger app Telegram and its vast user base of over 950 million people.

由于与流行的通讯应用程序 Telegram 的集成以及超过 9.5 亿人的庞大用户群，开放网络 (TON) 区块链正迅速成为主流用户的最爱。

This unique synergy is paving the way for TON to play a pivotal role in driving the mass adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi), according to a recent report published on Oct. 17 by GSR.

根据 GSR 10 月 17 日发布的最新报告，这种独特的协同效应正在为 TON 在推动去中心化金融 (DeFi) 的大规模采用方面发挥关键作用铺平道路。

Highlighting this potential, the report states:

报告强调了这一潜力：

This development offers a glimmer of hope for the DeFi sector, which has been lagging behind other crypto niches in terms of performance.

这一发展为 DeFi 领域带来了一线希望，该领域在性能方面一直落后于其他加密领域。

As noted by Artemis data, tokens associated with DeFi protocols experienced a decline of 72% between January 2022 and September 2023, while memecoins dropped by 35%, and smart contract-related tokens witnessed a decrease of 48%.

Artemis 数据显示，2022 年 1 月至 2023 年 9 月期间，与 DeFi 协议相关的代币下跌了 72%，而 memecoin 下跌了 35%，与智能合约相关的代币下跌了 48%。

Impact of small language models on AI and blockchain — Interview with Assisterr

小语言模型对人工智能和区块链的影响 — 采访 Assisterr

In this interview, Assisterr CEO Nick Havryliak discusses the advantages of SLMs, the potential of decentralized AI and how blockchain is empowering communities to shape the future of AI development.

在本次采访中，Assisterr 首席执行官 Nick Havryliak 讨论了 SLM 的优势、去中心化人工智能的潜力，以及区块链如何赋能社区塑造人工智能发展的未来。

Cointelegraph: What prompted the creation of SLMs, and how do they differ from the large AI models developed by Big Tech companies?

Cointelegraph：是什么促使 SLM 的创建，它们与大型科技公司开发的大型人工智能模型有何不同？

As artificial intelligence shifts toward more efficient solutions, small language models (SLMs) are emerging as a powerful tool, offering a cost-effective and scalable alternative to the large, generalized models favored by Big Tech, especially for task-specific applications.

随着人工智能转向更高效的解决方案，小语言模型 (SLM) 正在成为一种强大的工具，为大型科技公司青睐的大型通用模型提供了一种经济高效且可扩展的替代方案，特别是对于特定任务的应用程序。

Assisterr, a Cambridge-based network of SLMs, is creating a decentralized AI ecosystem where communities can own, manage and enhance their AI models while participating in governance and reward systems through blockchain technology.

Assisterr 是一个位于剑桥的 SLM 网络，正在创建一个去中心化的人工智能生态系统，社区可以在其中拥有、管理和增强其人工智能模型，同时通过区块链技术参与治理和奖励系统。

In this interview, Assisterr CEO Nick Havryliak discusses the advantages of SLMs, the potential of decentralized AI and how blockchain is empowering communities to shape the future of AI development.

在本次采访中，Assisterr 首席执行官 Nick Havryliak 讨论了 SLM 的优势、去中心化人工智能的潜力，以及区块链如何赋能社区塑造人工智能发展的未来。

Cointelegraph: What inspired the creation of SLMs, and how do they differ from the large AI models developed by Big Tech companies?

Cointelegraph：是什么激发了 SLM 的创建？它们与大型科技公司开发的大型人工智能模型有何不同？

Nick Havryliak: My experience in tech consulting, particularly in managing R&D teams and developing machine learning (ML) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, highlighted the major limitation of data set size and quality in ML. This challenge led me to explore how Web3 incentives could be harnessed to aggregate high-quality, niche-specific data. This idea laid the foundation for creating SLMs, which solve the inefficiencies seen in larger, general AI models.

Nick Havryliak：我在技术咨询方面的经验，特别是在管理研发团队以及开发机器学习 (ML) 和物联网 (IoT) 解决方案方面的经验，凸显了 ML 中数据集大小和质量的主要限制。这一挑战促使我探索如何利用 Web3 激励措施来聚合高质量、特定领域的数据。这个想法为创建 SLM 奠定了基础，SLM 解决了大型通用 AI 模型中效率低下的问题。

The report highlighted that TON boasts a higher number of monthly active addresses than Ethereum, which recorded 5.5 million active addresses in September 2024, and other Ethereum layer-2 (L2) networks and sidechains, including Arbitrum, OP Mainnet and the Polygon PoS chain.

该报告强调，TON 的每月活跃地址数量高于以太坊（2024 年 9 月记录了 550 万个活跃地址）以及其他以太坊第 2 层 (L2) 网络和侧链，包括 Arbitrum、OP 主网和 Polygon PoS 链。

However, the report also noted that Coinbase’s Base blockchain and Solana still have a larger number of monthly active users.

不过，报告还指出，Coinbase 的 Base 区块链和 Solana 仍然拥有较多的月活跃用户。
