Waterfall Network 主网上线，拥有 7,500 个活跃验证者，Gate.io 上列出 $WATER 代币

领先的第 1 层权益证明网络 Waterfall 周三宣布其主网已上线，拥有 7,500 个活跃验证者

Waterfall, a layer 1 proof-of-stake network, announced Wednesday the launch of its mainnet with 7,500 active validators. Its native token, $WATER, has also been listed on cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io.

Waterfall 是第 1 层权益证明网络，周三宣布推出拥有 7,500 个活跃验证者的主网。其原生代币$WATER也已在加密货币交易所Gate.io上市。

The introduction of the mainnet will provide the community with a platform to build decentralized apps (dApps) that can transform the industry by potentially bringing in new use cases.

主网的引入将为社区提供一个构建去中心化应用程序（dApp）的平台，这些应用程序可以通过潜在地引入新的用例来改变行业。

Waterfall is capable of supporting at least 1.5 million nodes, as per testing conducted with support from the Google Cloud Web3 Startup Program. The said figure is more than any other proof-of-stake network, including Ethereum. Emerging from its testnet, the network allows almost anyone, anywhere to participate in the burgeoning decentralized economy by running a validator node.

根据 Google Cloud Web3 启动计划支持下进行的测试，Waterfall 能够支持至少 150 万个节点。该数字超过任何其他权益证明网络，包括以太坊。该网络源于其测试网，几乎允许任何人在任何地方通过运行验证器节点参与蓬勃发展的去中心化经济。

"The strength of the Waterfall Network has surpassed even our most optimistic projections during testnet development. We now look forward to ensuring the community has a great platform to build and grow the network. Waterfall Protocol has been designed to reach communities as nodes can be run on any low-powered computing device as well as on Linux, Mac, Windows and in the future on phones," Sergii Grybniak, Blue Wave CTO and Waterfall Head of Research, told International Business Times in a statement.

“瀑布网络的实力甚至超过了我们在测试网开发过程中最乐观的预测。我们现在期待确保社区拥有一个强大的平台来构建和发展网络。瀑布协议的设计初衷是让社区能够运行节点Blue Wave 首席技术官兼 Waterfall 研究主管 Sergii Grybniak 在一份声明中告诉《国际商业时报》：

As for $WATER's Gate.io listing, users can now stake $WATER tokens, start running a node, and earn tangible returns to help secure the Waterfall mainnet.

至于 $WATER 的 Gate.io 列表，用户现在可以质押 $WATER 代币，开始运行节点，并获得切实的回报以帮助保护 Waterfall 主网。

More exchanges are set to list the token in the coming weeks and will be integrated with global infrastructure providers. Grants and rewards will be distributed to researchers and developers who assist with community-driven security auditing activities such as completing bug bounties, as more validators sign on the Waterfall Network.

更多交易所将在未来几周内列出该代币，并将与全球基础设施提供商整合。随着越来越多的验证者登录瀑布网络，赠款和奖励将分发给协助社区驱动的安全审计活动（例如完成错误赏金）的研究人员和开发人员。

Waterfall reiterates that its native cryptocurrency, which is offered only outside of the U.S., is not the same as the $WATER memecoin.

Waterfall 重申，其原生加密货币仅在美国境外提供，与 $WATER memecoin 不同。

Meanwhile, Waterfall continues to grow its community, with more than 100,000 followers. It is integrated with various staking infrastructure providers, including GigaStake, CoreNode, Liquify, StarDustStaking, and InfStones. It is currently working on integrating with Web3 infrastructure service provider NebulaBlock and peer-to-peer cloud infrastructure provider Edge.

与此同时，Waterfall 的社区规模不断扩大，粉丝数量已超过 100,000 名。它与各种质押基础设施提供商集成，包括 GigaStake、CoreNode、Liquify、StarDustStake 和 InfStones。目前正致力于与Web3基础设施服务提供商NebulaBlock和点对点云基础设施提供商Edge集成。

Waterfall, which combines scalability and decentralization, incorporates a next generation Directed AcylicGraph (DAG) technology that allows for virtually unlimited scalability and portability of dApps. It has very low hardware requirements for participants to become validators, bringing a game-changer technology for dApp developers as they change they innovate across the blockchain realm.

Waterfall 结合了可扩展性和去中心化，并采用了下一代有向 AcylicGraph (DAG) 技术，该技术允许 dApp 几乎无限的可扩展性和可移植性。它对参与者成为验证者的硬件要求非常低，为 dApp 开发人员带来了改变游戏规则的技术，因为他们在区块链领域进行创新。
