卡爾達諾開創了區塊鏈驅動的投票平台

卡爾達諾基金會執行長 Frederik Gregaard 表示，卡爾達諾正在與美國幾個州討論開發區塊鏈驅動的投票系統。格雷加德在接受 DailyCoin 採訪時表示，各州正在尋找使選舉更加透明的方法。

卡爾達諾探索區塊鏈驅動的投票平台

Amidst the growing interest in blockchain technology, Cardano Foundation has initiated discussions with multiple U.S. states regarding the development of blockchain-supported voting systems. According to Frederik Gregaard, CEO of Cardano Foundation, these states are seeking innovative solutions to enhance the transparency and accountability of elections.

隨著人們對區塊鏈技術的興趣日益濃厚，卡爾達諾基金會已開始與美國多個州就開發區塊鏈支援的投票系統進行討論。卡爾達諾基金會執行長 Frederik Gregaard 表示，這些州正在尋求創新解決方案，以提高選舉的透明度和問責制。

"We have been approached by a number of states in the U.S. saying, 'Hey, can you help us make a lean blockchain solution to make [voting] more transparent and accountable?'" stated Gregaard in an interview with DailyCoin.

Gregaard 在接受 DailyCoin 採訪時表示：「美國許多州聯繫我們，說『嘿，你能幫助我們制定一個精益的區塊鏈解決方案，使[投票]更加透明和負責任嗎？』」。

Gregaard also hinted at similar endeavors in the United Kingdom. However, he emphasized that Cardano Foundation is still evaluating the feasibility of such a solution within the timeframes desired by the states. The CEO concluded the interview without disclosing the number or identities of the states involved in the discussions.

格雷加德也暗示英國也會做出類似的努力。不過，他強調卡爾達諾基金會仍在各州期望的時間內評估這種解決方案的可行性。這位執行長結束了採訪，但沒有透露參與討論的州的數量或身份。

Over the years, blockchain-based voting has gained traction among enthusiasts as a compelling application of the technology. Cardano Foundation, like several decentralized blockchain organizations, has already implemented blockchain-based voting into its own processes to democratize decision-making.

多年來，基於區塊鏈的投票作為該技術的一種引人注目的應用，受到了愛好者的關注。與幾個去中心化區塊鏈組織一樣，卡爾達諾基金會已經在自己的​​流程中實施了基於區塊鏈的投票，以實現決策民主化。

For instance, Cardano utilizes Catalyst, a platform that allows ADA holders to deliberate on proposals and vote on projects for the network. This platform forms an integral part of the Cardano ecosystem and has been instrumental in promoting decentralization in aspects such as decision-making and funding rounds.

例如，Cardano 使用 Catalyst，這是一個允許 ADA 持有者審議提案並對網路專案進行投票的平台。該平台構成了卡爾達諾生態系統不可或缺的一部分，在促進決策和融資輪次等方面的去中心化方面發揮了重要作用。

Nevertheless, the creation of a blockchain voting system for statewide elections would require a higher level of specification than is typically seen in other applications. Cardano may also face competition if the concept of blockchain voting gains wider acceptance in the U.S. For example, it is possible that the states have also approached other blockchain networks, such as Solana, to develop similar platforms. These networks may also reach out to states, adding to Cardano's competitive landscape.

然而，為全州選舉創建區塊鏈投票系統需要比其他應用程式中通常看到的更高水準的規範。如果區塊鏈投票的概念在美國獲得更廣泛的接受，卡爾達諾也可能面臨競爭。例如，各州也可能與其他區塊鏈網路（例如 Solana）接洽，開發類似的平台。這些網路也可能延伸到各州，從而增加卡爾達諾的競爭格局。

Cardano's Momentum

卡爾達諾的勢頭

Despite these potential challenges, the Cardano network has been exhibiting strong momentum that could aid in its upcoming endeavors. Currently, developer activity on Cardano has surged past that of Ethereum.

儘管存在這些潛在的挑戰，卡爾達諾網路一直表現出強勁的勢頭，這可能有助於其未來的努力。目前，卡爾達諾上的開發者活動已超過以太坊。

Data from IntoTheBlock (ITB) indicates that from March 11 to March 17, Cardano recorded 978,780 commits on GitHub, a significant 140% more than Ethereum's 407,170 commits. This surge suggests that developers are increasingly recognizing Cardano as a compelling network with opportunities akin to Ethereum.

IntoTheBlock (ITB) 的數據顯示，從 3 月 11 日到 3 月 17 日，Cardano 在 GitHub 上記錄了 978,780 次提交，比以太坊的 407,170 次提交多出 140%。這種激增表明，開發人員越來越認識到卡爾達諾是一個引人注目的網絡，擁有類似以太坊的機會。

Cardano's outreach has also extended into law enforcement, with the Foundation recently collaborating with the Dubai Police Force on a pilot project. At last month's World Police Summit, the Dubai Police showcased a Cardano-based project that utilizes blockchain technology to securely share sensitive data with other law enforcement agencies, including Interpol.

卡爾達諾的業務範圍也擴展到了執法領域，該基金會最近與杜拜警察部隊合作進行了一個試點計畫。在上個月的世界警察高峰會上，杜拜警方展示了一個基於卡爾達諾的項目，該項目利用區塊鏈技術與包括國際刑警組織在內的其他執法機構安全地共享敏感資料。

The adoption of this platform ensures that law enforcement can leverage blockchain technology and collaborate with organizations worldwide.

該平台的採用確保執法部門可以利用區塊鏈技術並與世界各地的組織合作。

Other Cardano Developments

卡爾達諾的其他發展

Additional updates from the Cardano ecosystem include the launch of USDM, a fiat-backed stablecoin developed by Mehen Finance. According to Mehen's Co-Founder, Matthew Plomin, the solution faced setbacks last year when Cross River Bank, their initial partner, decided to collaborate with Circle. Mehen subsequently partnered with fintech solution Plaid until the completion and launch of USDM.

Cardano 生態系統的其他更新包括推出 USDM，這是 Mehen Finance 開發的一種由法定貨幣支持的穩定幣。 Mehen 的聯合創始人 Matthew Plomin 表示，去年，當他們最初的合作夥伴 Cross River Bank 決定與 Circle 合作時，解決方案遇到了挫折。 Mehen 隨後與金融科技解決方案 Plaid 合作，直至 USDM 完成並推出。

Conclusion

結論

Cardano's exploration of blockchain-based voting platforms aligns with the growing interest in leveraging technology to enhance democratic processes. While the realization of such systems faces challenges, Cardano's strong momentum and existing experience in blockchain governance position it as a potential leader in this domain.

卡爾達諾對基於區塊鏈的投票平台的探索與人們對利用技術加強民主進程日益增長的興趣相一致。雖然此類系統的實現面臨挑戰，但卡爾達諾在區塊鏈治理方面的強勁勢頭和現有經驗使其成為該領域的潛在領導者。

As the technology continues to evolve, it remains to be seen whether Cardano will successfully implement blockchain voting solutions for U.S. states or if it will face significant competition from other blockchain networks. Nevertheless, the discussions and developments within the Cardano ecosystem underscore the potential of blockchain technology to transform various industries and applications.

隨著技術的不斷發展，卡爾達諾是否會成功為美國各州實施區塊鏈投票解決方案，或者是否會面臨來自其他區塊鏈網路的激烈競爭，還有待觀察。儘管如此，卡爾達諾生態系統內的討論和發展強調了區塊鏈技術改變各個產業和應用程式的潛力。
