在 Polygon Labs 執行長 Marc Borion 在 DevCon 2024 上解釋 AggLayer 統一整個行業的好人意圖之前或之後的某個時候，粉碎了它

At DevCon 2024, attendees eagerly anticipated updates on the future of Ethereum. Among the announcements was a proposal by Ethereum core developer Justin Drake to build a new consensus layer for the network, dubbed "Beam Chain." Here's a quick FAQ to help you understand the proposal:

在 DevCon 2024 上，與會者熱切期待有關以太坊未來的最新消息。其中一項公告是以太坊核心開發人員 Justin Drake 提出的一項提案，旨在為網路建立一個新的共識層，稱為「Beam Chain」。以下是一個快速常見問題解答，可幫助您了解該提案：

What is Beam Chain?

什麼是梁鏈？

Beam Chain is a proposal to redesign Ethereum's consensus layer, announced by Justin Drake at DevCon. The goal is to align Ethereum with the latest blockchain research for better scalability, security, and performance. Specifically, Beam Chain will focus on improving block production, staking mechanisms, and cryptography.

Beam Chain 是 Justin Drake 在 DevCon 上宣布的一項重新設計以太坊共識層的提案。目標是使以太坊與最新的區塊鏈研究保持一致，以實現更好的可擴展性、安全性和效能。具體來說，Beam Chain 將專注於改善區塊生產、質押機制和密碼學。

Why is Beam Chain needed?

為什麼需要梁鏈？

The current Beacon Chain was introduced during Ethereum's transition to Proof-of-Stake, making it about five years old. While Beacon is still effective, these years have brought technical debt and limitations. For instance, Beacon was designed before bleeding-edge decentralized systems advancements, such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs), could be integrated.

目前的信標鏈是在以太坊向權益證明過渡期間引入的，距今已有五年左右的歷史。雖然 Beacon 仍然有效，但這些年來帶來了技術債和限制。例如，Beacon 是在整合零知識證明（ZK 證明）等尖端去中心化系統進步之前設計的。

Beam Chain aims to modernize Ethereum's consensus layer for the next decade, incorporating these advancements and setting the stage for further innovation.

Beam Chain 的目標是在未來十年實現以太坊共識層的現代化，整合這些進步並為進一步創新奠定基礎。

Does Beam Chain introduce a new token or network?

Beam Chain 是否引進了新的代幣或網路？

No. Beam Chain does not create a new token or network. It builds on Ethereum's existing infrastructure, keeping the same ETH ticker and ecosystem.

不會。它建立在以太坊現有的基礎設施之上，保持相同的以太坊代碼和生態系統。

What are the key upgrades in Beam Chain?

Beam Chain 的主要升級有哪些？

Beam Chain proposes several key upgrades to improve Ethereum's consensus layer:

Beam Chain 提出了幾個關鍵升級來改善以太坊的共識層：

Block production: To enhance censorship resistance, Beam Chain will introduce inclusion lists and execution auctions. It will also decrease the time slots for faster transactions.

區塊生產：為了增強審查阻力，Beam Chain將引入包含清單和執行拍賣。它還將減少更快交易的時間段。

Staking: Beam Chain aims to lower the validator entry point from 32 ETH to 1 ETH, making staking more accessible. Additionally, it will introduce better issuance models.

質押：Beam Chain 的目標是將驗證者的入口點從 32 ETH 降低到 1 ETH，使質押變得更容易。此外，還將引入更好的發行模式。

Cryptography: For enhanced security, Beam Chain will integrate ZK proofs, quantum-resistant cryptography, and aggregatable signatures.

密碼學：為了增強安全性，Beam Chain 將整合 ZK 證明、抗量子密碼學和可聚合簽章。

How will Beam Chain impact Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) chains like Polygon zkEVM? What about the AggLayer?

Beam Chain 將如何影響 Polygon zkEVM 等以太坊第 2 層 (L2) 鏈？那麼 AggLayer 呢？

Since the Beam Chain proposes adding ZK to Ethereum itself, there are potential impacts on Polygon zkEVM and the AggLayer:

由於 Beam Chain 提議將 ZK 添加到以太坊本身，因此對 Polygon zkEVM 和 AggLayer 存在潛在影響：

Faster settlement: Single-slot finality reduces settlement delays for L2 (Polygon zkEVM), but it can also benefit Agglayer moving forward.

更快的結算：單時隙最終性減少了 L2 (Polygon zkEVM) 的結算延遲，但它也有利於 Agglayer 的發展。

Lower costs: Faster slots and improved block processing will reduce transaction costs for L2s settling on Ethereum, which can impact how proofs are processed.

降低成本：更快的插槽和改進的區塊處理將降低在以太坊上結算的 L2 的交易成本，這可能會影響證明的處理方式。

Enhanced security: Native ZK proof integration strengthens rollups like Polygon zkEVM. Better security = better security. Duh.

增強的安全性：原生 ZK 證明整合增強了 Polygon zkEVM 等匯總功能。更好的安全性=更好的安全性。呃。

Reduced MEV risks: Better censorship resistance minimizes Maximal Extractable Value risks, benefiting L2 ecosystems.

降低 MEV 風險：更好的審查阻力可最大限度地降低最大可提取價值風險，有利於 L2 生態系統。

Future-proofing: Post-quantum cryptography will ensure a robust foundation for L2 innovation, accelerating internal research.

面向未來：後量子密碼學將確保為 L2 創新奠定堅實的基礎，加速內部研究。

When will Beam Chain be implemented?

Beam Chain什麼時候上線？

Here's the proposed roadmap:

以下是建議的路線圖：

But keep an eye on the Ethereum research forum for the latest.

但請密切關注以太坊研究論壇的最新動態。

Is Beam Chain Ethereum 3.0?

Beam Chain是以太坊3.0嗎？

No. Beam Chain focuses only on Ethereum's consensus layer. It is not a rebranding of Ethereum or a new iteration like "Ethereum 3.0." Instead, it aligns with Ethereum's existing roadmap and accelerates specific components.

不。它不是以太坊的品牌重塑，也不是「以太坊 3.0」之類的新迭代。相反，它與以太坊現有的路線圖保持一致並加速特定組件。

How will Beam Chain impact decentralization?

Beam Chain 將如何影響去中心化？

Beam Chain balances performance with decentralization by maintaining compatibility with validators on standard hardware, even in regions with high-latency Internet connections.

Beam Chain 透過保持與標準硬體上驗證器的兼容性，平衡效能與去中心化，即使在網路連線高延遲的地區也是如此。

Best of all, lowering the staking requirement to 1 ETH will further democratize participation in securing the network.

最重要的是，將質押要求降低至 1 ETH 將進一步使網路安全的參與更加民主化。

What role do zero-knowledge proofs play in Beam Chain?

零知識證明在Beam Chain中扮演什麼角色？

Beam Chain integrates ZK proofs to enable a real-time validation of the consensus layer and unlock improved scalability and security.

Beam Chain 整合了 ZK 證明，可即時驗證共識層並提高可擴展性和安全性。

Overall, this integration enhances support for technologies like zkEVMs, better enabling Ethereum's ability to scale while maintaining decentralization.

總體而言，這種整合增強了對 zkEVM 等技術的支持，更好地使以太坊能夠在保持去中心化的同時進行擴展。

What's the long-term vision for Beam Chain?

Beam Chain 的長期願景是什麼？

Beam Chain aims to put Ethereum's consensus layer into "maintenance mode" by addressing technical debt and implementing long-term solutions like quantum resistance. This ensures Ethereum remains secure, efficient, and adaptable for decades to come, enabling future innovation without the need for disruptive redesigns.

Beam Chain 旨在透過解決技術債和實施量子電阻等長期解決方案，將以太坊的共識層置於「維護模式」。這確保了以太坊在未來幾十年內保持安全、高效和適應性，從而無需進行顛覆性的重新設計即可實現未來的創新。
