Block 結束了 TBD Web5 投資比特幣挖礦和 Bitkey 自助錢包的計劃

TBD 分為兩個主要項目：“Web5”，被描述為“互聯網的新身份和信任層”，以及 tbDEX

Block Inc (NYSE:SQ) announced in its Quarter 3 Shareholder Letter that it will be winding down TBD, its “Web5” initiative, in order to “invest in our bitcoin mining initiative… and Bitkey, our self-custody wallet for Bitcoin.”

Block Inc（NYSE：SQ）在其第三季股東信中宣布，它將逐步結束其「Web5」計畫TBD，以便「投資於我們的比特幣挖礦計畫…以及我們的比特幣自助託管錢包Bitkey”。 ”

Block had announced TBD last year, describing it as two primary projects: “Web5,” which was described as “a new identity and trust layer for the internet,” and tbDEX, which was supposed to be focused on “reimagining global payments and commerce.”

Block 去年宣布了 TBD，將其描述為兩個主要項目：“Web5”，被描述為“互聯網的新身份和信任層”，以及 tbDEX，該項目應該專注於“重新構想全球支付和商業” ”。

The “Web5” component was yet to be integrated into any significant projects, and the tbDEX project was yet to launch for any transactions.

「Web5」元件尚未整合到任何重要專案中，tbDEX 專案尚未啟動任何交易。

Now, Block has announced that both projects will be discontinued in order to allow the firm to focus on other initiatives, which include its bitcoin mining project and Bitkey, a self-custody bitcoin wallet.

現在，Block 宣布將停止這兩個項目，以便該公司能夠專注於其他舉措，其中包括比特幣挖礦項目和自助託管比特幣錢包 Bitkey。

“We're winding down TBD, a Block initiative that we announced last year to build two projects: Web5 and tbDEX. Both projects were early-stage explorations. Web5 aimed to build a new identity and trust layer for the internet, while tbDEX set out to reimagine global payments and commerce.”, the letter reads.

「我們正在逐步結束 TBD，這是我們去年宣布的一項區塊計劃，旨在建立兩個項目：Web5 和 tbDEX。這兩個項目都是早期探索。 Web5 旨在為互聯網建立一個新的身份和信任層，而 tbDEX 則致力於重新構想全球支付和商業。

“Over the past few months, our teams have been working hard and made a lot of progress. However, after careful consideration, we've decided to discontinue both projects and fully pivot Block's decentralized technology efforts to support bitcoin.”

「過去幾個月，我們的團隊一直努力工作，並且取得了很大進展。然而，經過仔細考慮，我們決定停止這兩個項目，並全力支持 Block 的去中心化技術工作以支持比特幣。

“This decision will enable us to invest in our bitcoin mining initiative, which earlier this year announced it had finished development of its own mining chip that it intends to supply to Core Scientific (NASDAQ:CORZ). We also plan to continue developing Bitkey, our multi-signature bitcoin wallet that we launched late last year.”

「這項決定將使我們能夠投資我們的比特幣挖礦計劃，該計劃於今年早些時候宣布已經完成了自己的挖礦晶片的開發，並打算向Core Scientific（納斯達克股票代碼：CORZ ）供應。我們還計劃繼續開發 Bitkey，這是我們去年年底推出的多重簽名比特幣錢包。

Block had announced its bitcoin mining initiative earlier this year, announcing that it had finished development of its own mining chip, which it intended to supply to Core Scientific, one of the largest bitcoin miners in the United States.

Block 今年稍早宣布了比特幣挖礦計劃，並宣布已經完成了自己的挖礦晶片的開發，並打算將其供應給美國最大的比特幣礦商之一 Core Scientific。

The firm had announced plans to supply Core Scientific with approximately 15 exahashes/second of hashing power, which would represent approximately 70% of the approximately 21.8 exahasses/second that Core Scientific reported in its most recent investor update.

該公司已宣布計劃向 Core Scientific 提供約 15 exahasses/秒的算力，這相當於 Core Scientific 在最新投資者更新中報告的約 21.8 exahasses/秒的約 70%。

However, Core Scientific has not substantially deployed Block's chip, noting, “substantially all of the miners we own and host were manufactured by Bitmain.”

然而，Core Scientific 尚未大規模部署 Block 的晶片，並指出，“我們擁有和託管的所有礦機基本上都是由比特大陸製造的。”

Meanwhile, BitKey, which was launched at the end of last year, is a multi-signature bitcoin wallet that integrates a hardware wallet and cloud recovery options. It is currently available for download on both iOS and Android devices.

同時，去年年底推出的BitKey是一款整合了硬體錢包和雲端恢復選項的多重簽名比特幣錢包。目前可以在 iOS 和 Android 裝置上下載。

Currently, the revenue for all these different projects is rolled into the “Corporate and Other” category on the filings with music streaming service TIDAL and this segment reported approximately $44 million in revenue for the last quarter, driven almost exclusively by subscriptions, presumably to TIDAL.

目前，所有這些不同項目的收入均歸入音樂串流服務 TIDAL 備案的「企業及其他」類別，該部門上一季的收入約為 4,400 萬美元，幾乎完全由訂閱推動，大概是 TIDAL 。
