宙斯钱包整合了Cashu，向数百万新用户开放了闪电网络

总部位于美国的比特币和闪电移动钱包宙斯最近宣布了Cashu的Alpha-Release整合。此举标志着Ecash的第一个整合

U.S.-based Bitcoin and Lightning mobile wallet Zeus recently announced an alpha-release integration of Cashu, marking the first integration of the promising ecash use case into a popular Bitcoin wallet.

总部位于美国的比特币和闪电移动钱包宙斯最近宣布了Cashu的Alpha-Release集成，这标志着有希望的Ecash用例首次整合到受欢迎的比特币钱包中。

The move paves the way for broader adoption of Bitcoin in a format that boasts privacy and scalability—key properties of Chaumian ecash, a form of digital cash invented by David Chaum in the 90s—with the trade-off of being fundamentally centralized, requiring a significant amount of trust in the issuer. A sunny view of this technology is that it’s like good old-fashioned cash, but in the digital realm.

此举为具有隐私和可扩展性的格式（Chaumian Ecash的钥匙属性）（90年代David Chaum发明的一种数字现金形式）铺平了更广泛地采用比特币的方式，并以根本上集中的权衡取舍，需要对发行人进行大量信任。对这项技术的阳光透明的看法是，它就像是好的老式现金，但在数字领域中。

In a surprising move for Zeus, known as the go-to tool for advanced Lightning users seeking to connect to their home nodes, the integration of Cashu acknowledges a “last mile” challenge Lightning wallets face when delivering Bitcoin to the masses.

宙斯（Zeus）的一个令人惊讶的举动，这是试图连接其家庭节点的高级闪电用户的首选工具，Cashu的集成承认，在将比特币交付给大众时，闪电钱包的“最后一英里”挑战挑战赛。

“We basically started off as the cypherpunk wallet, right? You got to set up your own Lightning node and connect to it with Zeus. The last two years, we put the node in the phone with one click, you can run it all in a standalone app without a remote node,” Evan Kaloudis, founder and CEO of Zeus, told Bitcoin Magazine.

“我们基本上是从Cypherpunk钱包开始的，对吗？您必须设置自己的闪电节点并与宙斯连接。最近两年，我们单击一键将节点放入电话中，您可以在没有远程节点的独立应用程序中运行它，” Evan Kaloudis，Evan Kaloudis，Evan Kaloudis，Zeous of Zeous of Zeus of Bitcoincoinagazine，Magazine。

“Cashu addresses uneconomical self-custody for small bitcoin amounts. On-chain, the dust limit is 546 satoshis, and Layer two systems like Lightning have costs for channel setup or unilateral exits that aren’t widely discussed.”

“ Cashu解决了针对小比特币量的不经济自我遵循。链上，防尘限制为546 satoshis，诸如Lightning之类的第二层系统的渠道设置或单方面出口的成本未广泛讨论。”

According to Kaloudis, this is a major point of friction in noncustodial Lightning wallets: the need for liquidity and channel management. While these esoteric aspects of the Lightning Network have been mostly abstracted since its invention in 2016, these fundamental trade-offs continue to manifest even in the most sophisticated and user-friendly wallets.

根据Kaloudis的说法，这是非监测闪电钱包中摩擦的主要点：对流动性和渠道管理的需求。尽管自2016年发明以来，这些闪电网络的这些深奥的方面大部分都被抽象出来，但即使在最复杂和用户友好的钱包中，这些基本的权衡仍在继续表现出来。

In the case of both Phoenix and Zeus Wallet, two of the most popular noncustodial options in the market, users must pay up to 10,000 sats upfront to gain spending capacity. These fees are necessary to cover the on-chain fees spent to open a channel for the user against the wallet’s liquidity service provider, unlocking a noncustodial experience.

对于凤凰城和宙斯钱包，市场上两个最受欢迎的非监测选择中的两个，用户必须预先支付多达10,000个坐着的时间才能获得支出能力。这些费用是为了覆盖用户对钱包的流动性服务提供商打开渠道所花费的链子费用所需的，从而解开了非监测体验。

The required up-front fee is difficult to explain and presents a painful onboarding experience for new users who are used to fiat apps, like Venmo or Cash App, crediting them with small amounts to join the network.

所需的预期费用很难解释，并为习惯于菲亚特应用程序（例如Venmo或Cash App）的新用户提供了痛苦的入职经验，并以少量数量来加入网络。

As a result of this difficulty starting out in the Bitcoin world, we’ve seen the rapid adoption of custodial Lightning wallets like Wallet of Satoshi (WOS), which leveraged the global, near-instant settlement power of Bitcoin.

由于这一困难从比特币界开始，我们已经看到了迅速采用的持有雷击钱包，例如Satoshi（WOS），它利用了比特币的全球，近乎固有的定居点。

Major developments have been made over seven years after the Lightning Network’s inception, however, and Zeus Wallet is pushing the boundaries.

然而，在闪电网络成立后的七年中，已经做出了重大发展，宙斯钱包正在推动界限。

“With Ecash, we make it so easy that anyone can set up a wallet and start participating in our ecosystem, which I really think is going to become more and more prevalent,” said Kaloudis.

Kaloudis说：“借助Ecash，我们变得如此容易，任何人都可以设置钱包并开始参与我们的生态系统，我认为这将变得越来越普遍。”

Today, at roughly $100,000 per bitcoin, 1,000 satoshis are equivalent to $1, transactions of these sizes are known as microtransactions — a popular example are Nostr social media tips known as zaps. But finding the right tool for this use case is not simple. Self custodied wallets like Phoenix charge transaction fees in the hundreds of satoshis, even with open channels, and on-chain fees often cost the same and are slower to settle.

如今，每比特币大约100,000美元，1,000 satoshis等于$ 1，这些尺寸的交易被称为微交易 - 一个流行的例子是NOSTR社交媒体技巧，称为ZAPS。但是，为此用例找到正确的工具并不简单。自我拘留的钱包，例如凤凰城收费交易费用，即使有开放的渠道，也有数百个satoshis的费用，并且链上的费用通常相同，而且安装较慢。

As a result, there’s an entire category of spending that is only served by cheaper alternatives such as custodial lightning wallets like WOS or Blink, but result in significant privacy tradeoffs, often requiring phone numbers from users and in some cases more advanced KYC and IP tracking. Cashu hopes to serve this market with lower privacy costs, the same ease of use, speed and competitive fees.

结果，只有更便宜的替代方案（例如WOS或眨眼）等较便宜的替代方案提供了整个类别的支出，但会导致大量的隐私权折衷，通常需要用户的电话号码，在某些情况下更高级的KYC和IP跟踪。 Cashu希望以较低的隐私成本，相同的使用，速度和竞争性费用为市场服务。

Digging deeper into the Cashu integration, Kaloudis explained that “For users this means being able to pick and switch between custodians in a single app. For developers this means being able to defer custodial responsibilities to third parties and not have to wire up a new integration when your current custodian halts operations.”

Kaloudis深入研究Cashu集成，解释说：“对于用户来说，这意味着能够在单个应用程序中选择和切换。对于开发人员而言，这意味着能够将保管责任推迟到第三方，而不必在您当前的托管人停止操作时将新的整合汇合。”

Zaps are satoshi-denominated rewards delivered as “likes” or micro-tips for content in the Nostr social media ecosystem. A zap can be as small as one satoshi, the smallest amount of bitcoin that can be technically transferred, which today is less than a tenth of a penny.

在NOSTR社交媒体生态系统中，ZAPS是SATOSHI计数的奖励，以“喜欢”或微调。 ZAP可以像一个Satoshi一样小，这是最小的比特币，可以在技术上转移，而今天的比特币不到一分钱的十分之一。

“But I think if we look at Nostr and you’re seeing how many people are zapping and how big a part of that ecosystem it is. It’s like, people are willing to do it,” said Kaloudis.

“但是我认为，如果我们看着NoStr，您会看到有多少人被打击了，以及它是该生态系统的一部分。就像，人们愿意这样做，” Kaloudis说。

“Cashu, while custodial, lets users accumulate small amounts — say, via Nostr zaps — without needing 6,000 satoshis to open a Lightning channel. ZEUS

“ Cashu虽然保管，但可以让用户积累少量的数量 - 例如，通过NoStr Zaps - 无需6,000个Satoshis即可打开闪电频道。
