比特幣開發者與 StarkWare、Blockstream 合作聲稱在契約上取得突破

享有盛譽的開發團隊表示，新方法雖然仍需要完善，但可以為比特幣區塊鏈帶來更大的可程式性

A group of top Bitcoin developers say they have found a way to add a type of programming known as "covenants" to the Bitcoin blockchain without needing to pass a soft fork.

一群頂級比特幣開發人員表示，他們已經找到了一種方法，可以在比特幣區塊鏈中添加一種稱為「契約」的程式類型，而無需通過軟分叉。

The technique, which is still under development, could unlock crucial functionality such as new wallet and vault features and more efficient layer-2 protocols.

該技術仍在開發中，可以解鎖關鍵功能，例如新的錢包和保險庫功能以及更有效率的第 2 層協議。

Importantly, the method does not require changing Bitcoin's main underlying code, a notoriously difficult process where consensus is typically seen as the threshold needed to greenlight major upgrades known as a "soft fork."

重要的是，該方法不需要更改比特幣的主要底層程式碼，這是一個眾所周知的困難過程，共識通常被視為批准稱為「軟分叉」的重大升級所需的門檻。

The announcement was made on Thursday in a research paper titled, "ColliderScript: Covenants in Bitcoin via 160-bit hash collisions."

這項消息是在周四在一篇題為「ColliderScript：透過 160 位元哈希衝突實現比特幣契約」的研究論文中宣布的。

The publication comes as Bitcoin, the oldest and largest blockchain, has attracted hordes of developers trying to add programmability and additional network layers that could lead to not only more applications being built atop the peer-to-peer network but also faster and cheaper venues for transaction execution. The goal is to catch up to what Ethereum, the second-largest blockchain, has achieved — but with Bitcoin's famously robust security.

該出版物發布之際，最古老、最大的區塊鏈比特幣吸引了大批開發人員，試圖增加可編程性和額外的網絡層，這不僅可以在點對點網絡上構建更多的應用程序，而且可以為開發者提供更快、更便宜的場所。我們的目標是趕上第二大區塊鏈以太坊所取得的成就，但同時又具有比特幣眾所周知的強大安全性。

'Pretty awesome idea'

“非常棒的主意”

The team was led by Ethan Heilman, who separately is one of the authors of a proposed technique known as OP_CAT that could increase Bitcoin's programmability. However, that effort would require changes to the Bitcoin software, as would a separate proposal for covenants known as OP_CTV, proposed by the developer Jeremy Rubin.

該團隊由 Ethan Heilman 領導，他是一項名為 OP_CAT 的擬議技術的作者之一，該技術可以提高比特幣的可編程性。然而，這項努力需要對比特幣軟體進行更改，開發人員傑里米·魯賓 (Jeremy Rubin) 提出了一項名為 OP_CTV 的單獨提案。

Other authors of the new research paper include Victor Kobolov and Avihu Levy of the StarkWare project and Andrew Poelstra, a longtime Bitcoin developer who currently serves as head of research at Blockstream.

這篇新研究論文的其他作者包括 StarkWare 計畫的 Victor Kobolov 和 Avihu Levy，以及長期比特幣開發人員、目前擔任 Blockstream 研究主管的 Andrew Poelstra。

StarkWare's official account on X posted a link to the paper on Thursday, adding only a rocket emoji.

StarkWare 在 X 上的官方帳戶週四發布了該論文的鏈接，僅添加了一個火箭表情符號。

Robin Linus, a Bitcoin developer who has made waves for a project known as BitVM and more recently BitVM2 that could unlock greater programmability, told CoinDesk in a Telegram message that the research paper was "not really practical" in its current form but represented a "pretty awesome idea."

Robin Linus 是一名比特幣開發者，他為BitVM 和最近的BitVM2 專案掀起了波瀾，該專案可以解鎖更大的可編程性，他在Telegram 訊息中告訴CoinDesk，該研究論文目前的形式「並不真正實用”，但代表了“非常棒的主意。

"It would cost like north of $10m to execute such a covenant, but the idea behind it is ingenious," Linus said. "I hope people will try to come up with optimizations to make it practical."

「執行這樣的契約需要花費 1000 萬美元以上，但背後的想法很巧妙，」Linus 說。 “我希望人們能夠嘗試提出優化以使其實用。”
