Core DAO：透過創新的可擴展性解決方案將比特幣從簡單的價值存儲手段轉變為生產性資產

比特幣作為管理約2兆美元財富的價值儲存資產，正被各國視為戰略儲備。

Bitcoin, a value storage asset, is now managing about $2 trillion in wealth, and various countries are considering using Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. Against this backdrop, PANews exclusively interviewed Rich Rines, an early contributor to Core DAO, to discuss in depth how to promote the transformation of Bitcoin from a simple means of value storage to a productive asset through innovative scalability solutions.

比特幣作為價值儲存資產，目前管理約2兆美元的財富，各國都在考慮將比特幣作為戰略儲備。在此背景下，PANews獨家採訪了Core DAO早期貢獻者Rich Rines，深入探討如何透過創新的可擴展性解決方案推動比特幣從簡單的價值儲存手段轉向生產性資產。

Background

背景

PANews: How did you get into the Bitcoin field?

PANews：您是如何進入比特幣領域的？

I was first introduced to Bitcoin in 2013. Although I had heard about it from a college professor in 2011, I did not truly understand its significance until 2013, when I was attracted by the potential of Bitcoin as a non-sovereign store of value (or digital gold).

我第一次接觸比特幣是在2013 年。儲存手段的潛力所吸引（或數位黃金）。

By 2017, I had been working in cryptocurrency full-time, working as the head of fund flow engineering at Coinbase for four years. I later joined Core because I saw that no one was solving the scalability problem of Bitcoin. We believed that cryptocurrency had deviated from the original decentralized concept, so we decided to start with Bitcoin, the most decentralized asset, and work on solving its scalability problem.

到 2017 年，我已經全職從事加密貨幣工作，在 Coinbase 擔任資金流工程主管四年。後來我加入Core，因為我看到沒有人解決比特幣的可擴展性問題。我們認為加密貨幣已經背離了最初的去中心化理念，所以我們決定從比特幣這個最去中心化的資產入手，致力於解決它的可擴展性問題。

PANews: Our experiences are very similar. I studied Crypto in 2014, devoted myself to the crypto industry in 2017 and launched PANews. Bitcoin breaking through $100,000 is an important milestone. What do you think drove this achievement?

PANews：我們的經驗非常相似。我於2014年學習了加密貨幣，2017年投身於加密貨幣行業並推出了PANews。比特幣突破 10 萬美元是重要的里程碑。您認為是什麼推動了這項成就？

Bitcoin is now "too big to fail". Its legitimacy has been recognized and it has become part of the traditional financial system, no longer just an alternative. It is now mainly used as a store of value asset, managing about $2 trillion in wealth. Bitcoin has now become a 10,000-coin collateral asset, and even countries are considering using it as a strategic reserve. I think its market value will at least catch up with gold in the future, or even higher. Bitcoin has become more accessible through tools such as ETFs, and Core further provides a faster and lower-cost expansion solution.

比特幣現在「太大而不能倒」。它的合法性已經被承認，它已經成為傳統金融體系的一部分，而不再只是一種替代品。現在它主要用作價值儲存資產，管理約2兆美元的財富。比特幣現在已經成為萬枚幣的抵押資產，甚至各國都在考慮將其作為戰略儲備。我認為它的市值未來至少會趕上黃金，甚至更高。透過 ETF 等工具，比特幣變得更加容易獲取，而 Core 進一步提供了更快、成本更低的擴容解決方案。

Motivation for Building Core DAO

建構核心 DAO 的動機

PANews: The approval of the Bitcoin ETF is like a watershed moment for Bitcoin. What motivated you to establish Core DAO?

PANews：比特幣ETF的批准對比特幣來說就像是一個分水嶺。是什麼促使您建立 Core DAO？

Core was co-founded by a group of initial contributors. We have observed that the entire cryptocurrency industry has deviated from the original intention of decentralization. It is worth noting that Bitcoin is the first stop for most people to enter the cryptocurrency field. Even if some people later turn to Ethereum or Solana, Bitcoin is still the common starting point for everyone. We hope to return to the original mission of Bitcoin. But after in-depth research and analysis, we found that it is impossible to implement certain functions on the Bitcoin base layer. Bitcoin as a settlement layer does have the characteristics of being slow, expensive, and inflexible, but it is precisely these characteristics that make it a high-quality value storage tool.

Core 由一群最初的貢獻者共同創立。我們觀察到，整個加密貨幣產業已經偏離了去中心化的初衷。值得注意的是，比特幣是大多數人進入加密貨幣領域的第一站。即使後來有些人轉向以太幣或 Solana，比特幣仍然是每個人的共同起點。我們希望回到比特幣最初的使命。但經過深入研究和分析，我們發現在比特幣基礎層上無法實現某些功能。比特幣作為結算層確實具有緩慢、昂貴、不靈活的特點，但正是這些特點使其成為優質的價值儲存工具。

I've bought some very expensive Bitcoins over the past decade. But now, Bitcoin has moved from being a medium of exchange to a collateral asset. People can use it to borrow stablecoins, which is the right way to make Bitcoin accessible to billions of people. Core's mission is to make Bitcoin accessible to billions of people. Although we are still in the very early stages, we are very passionate about it. We believe that the model of using Bitcoin as a collateral asset to obtain stablecoins can truly achieve mass adoption of Bitcoin.

在過去的十年裡，我買了一些非常昂貴的比特幣。但現在，比特幣已經從一種交換媒介轉變為一種抵押資產。人們可以用它藉入穩定幣，這是讓數十億人接觸到比特幣的正確方式。 Core 的使命是讓數十億人可以使用比特幣。儘管我們仍處於早期階段，但我們對此充滿熱情。我們相信以比特幣作為抵押資產獲得穩定幣的模式能夠真正實現比特幣的大規模採用。

Introduction to CoreDAO

CoreDAO 簡介

PANews: Can you introduce Core DAO to Chinese readers in a simple and easy-to-understand way?

PANews：您能用簡單易懂的方式向中國讀者介紹Core DAO嗎？

Core actually consists of two main parts. The first part is the Bitcoin staking product, and the second part is the Bitcoin ecosystem built on the EVM. In terms of ecosystem, Core is currently the largest Bitcoin ecosystem on the EVM, with more than $1 billion in total locked value (TVL) and hundreds of thousands of daily active users.

核心實際上由兩個主要部分組成。第一部分是比特幣質押產品，第二部分是基於EVM建構的比特幣生態系統。在生態系統方面，Core是目前EVM上最大的比特幣生態系統，鎖定價值總價值（TVL）超過10億美元，每日活躍用戶數千萬。

In our ecosystem, there are already more than 100 decentralized applications running, and more are under development and expected to be launched soon. Our goal is to make Bitcoin work and allow users to participate in Bitcoin DeFi. At present, about 80-90% of the TVL of the Core ecosystem exists in the form of Bitcoin. Users can use Bitcoin for staking or use Bitcoin as gas fees. These are typical L1 public chain mechanisms, but our ecosystem is built on Bitcoin.

在我們的生態系統中，已經有超過 100 個去中心化應用程式在運行，還有更多的應用程式正在開發中，預計很快就會推出。我們的目標是讓比特幣發揮作用，讓用戶參與比特幣 DeFi。目前，Core生態系約80-90%的TVL以比特幣的形式存在。用戶可以使用比特幣進行質押，也可以使用比特幣作為汽油費。這些都是典型的L1公鏈機制，但我們的生態系統是建立在比特幣之上的。

We launched the world's first Bitcoin staking product in early April 2024. Currently, about $800 million of Bitcoin is earning passive income on our platform. The special thing about this product is that it is non-custodial, and users don't need to worry about multi-signature or trust issues. In November 2024, we also launched a dual staking mechanism, where users can hold CORE and BTC at the same time to

我們在 2024 年 4 月初推出了世界上第一個比特幣質押產品。該產品的特別之處在於它是非託管的，用戶無需擔心多重簽名或信任問題。 2024年11月，我們也推出了雙重質押機制，用戶可以同時持有CORE和BTC來
