唐納德·特朗普對加密貨幣的擁抱已經完成

這位前總統和現任共和黨總統候選人曾經是加密貨幣批評家，他所做的不僅僅是支持華盛頓特區的行業目標。

Former President Donald Trump and his sons are now fully embracing the crypto industry. After endorsing the industry’s goals in Washington, D.C., Trump and his sons have now launched World Liberty Financial, a decentralised finance project for lending dollar-pegged stablecoins.

前總統唐納德·特朗普和他的兒子們現在完全擁抱加密貨幣行業。在華盛頓特區認可該行業的目標後，川普和他的兒子們現在推出了 World Liberty Financial，這是一個用於借貸與美元掛鉤的穩定幣的去中心化金融項目。

As with many of Trump’s business endeavors, World Liberty is shrouded in a cloud of doubt and promises. The venture boasts a diverse group of figures, some well-known in crypto circles and others less so.

就像川普的許多商業活動一樣，世界自由也籠罩在懷疑和承諾的陰雲之中。該公司擁有多元化的人物，其中一些在加密貨幣圈中很有名氣，而另一些則不太知名。

So, who exactly is riding shotgun in Trump’s odd DeFi vehicle?

那麼，到底是誰在川普奇怪的 DeFi 車輛上坐槍呢？

World Liberty’s “gold paper” lists Trump and his three sons — Donald Junior, Eric, and Barron — as members of the project’s support team. The former president is listed as chief crypto advocate while his sons are so-called web3 ambassadors. An earlier draft of the gold paper listed 18-year-old Barron as “DeFi visionary.”

世界自由組織的「金紙」將川普和他的三個兒子——小唐納德、艾瑞克和巴倫——列為該計畫支援團隊的成員。這位前總統被列為首席加密倡導者，而他的兒子則是所謂的 web3 大使。金紙的早期草稿將 18 歲的巴倫列為「DeFi 夢想家」。

Trump’s youngest son was once linked to a family-themed memecoin called DJT. Martin Shkreli, the convicted investment manager and social media personality, alleged that he and Barron created DJT, a Solana-based memecoin.

川普最小的兒子曾經與一種名為 DJT 的家庭主題迷因幣聯繫在一起。被定罪的投資經理兼社交媒體名人 Martin Shkreli 聲稱，他和 Barron 創建了 DJT，這是一種基於 Solana 的 memecoin。

Barron's link to the project was never confirmed, and he did not comment on the matter publicly. In August, unidentified players “rugged,” or withdrew, the majority of the DJT token’s liquidity, leaving investors with worthless assets.

巴倫與該計畫的聯繫從未得到證實，他也沒有公開評論此事。 8 月份，一名身份不明的參與者「強行」或撤回了 DJT 代幣的大部分流動性，使投資者的資產變得一文不值。

Eric Trump, executive vice president and trustee of the Trump Organisation, is one of the project’s leading promoters, along with his brother Donald Trump Jr. The siblings first began teasing the project on social media posts in August.

川普組織執行副總裁兼受託人艾瑞克‧川普(Eric Trump) 和他的弟弟小唐納德‧川普(Donald Trump Jr.) 是該計畫的主要推動者之一。 8 月首次在社群媒體貼文上調侃該計畫。

Eric is no stranger to his father’s history of blurring the lines between family affairs and finance. He notably signed the reimbursement checks to former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen who handled the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.

埃里克對他父親模糊家庭事務和財務之間界限的歷史並不陌生。值得注意的是，他簽署了前川普律師兼調解人邁克爾·科恩的報銷支票，科恩負責向斯托米·丹尼爾斯支付封口費。

In June, a New York state jury convicted Donald Trump for unlawfully covering up those payments as business expenses.

6 月，紐約州陪審團判定唐納德·川普有罪，罪名是非法將這些付款掩蓋為商業開支。

As for the Trump sons’ practical experience in crypto, there’s very little. Still, the former president said they changed his mind about the potential of the industry.

至於川普兒子們在加密領域的實務經驗則很少。不過，這位前總統表示，他們改變了他對該行業潛力的看法。

World Liberty is a fork of a defunct DeFi project called Dough Finance and will be deployed on DeFi’s biggest lending protocol, Aave. Forks aren’t unusual in DeFi, but Dough Finance was exploited for $2.1 million this summer. The attack occurred after the developers failed to code a way for the smart contract to verify the actions of users trying to connect to another protocol.

World Liberty 是已關閉的 DeFi 專案 Dough Finance 的分支，將部署在 DeFi 最大的借貸協議 Aave 上。分叉在 DeFi 中並不罕見，但今年夏天 Dough Finance 就被利用了 210 萬美元。這次攻擊發生在開發人員未能為智能合約編寫一種方法來驗證嘗試連接到另一個協定的用戶的操作之後。

Several Dough Finance developers are now involved in World Liberty, including Chase Herro, aka “Hero,” and his frequent collaborator Zachary Folkman, as well as blockchain developer Bogdan Purnavel who goes by the online moniker 0xboga.

幾位 Dough Finance 開發人員現在參與了 World Liberty，包括 Chase Herro（又名「英雄」）和他的常規合作者 Zachary Folkman，以及線上暱稱 0xboga 的區塊鏈開發人員 Bogdan Purnavel。

Folkman and Herro are listed as co-founders alongside New York real estate magnate Steven Witkoff.

福克曼和希羅與紐約房地產巨頭史蒂文·威特科夫一起被列為聯合創始人。

Herro, a self-styled “dirtbag of the internet,” has a colorful backstory littered with several failed internet ventures, including a crypto trading platform called Pacer Capital. According to Bloomberg News, he said he made a fortune in internet advertising and dealt marijuana as a young man.

Herro 自詡為“網路垃圾”，他的背景故事豐富多彩，其中充斥著幾家失敗的互聯網企業，其中包括名為 Pacer Capital 的加密貨幣交易平台。根據彭博社報道，他說他在網路廣告中賺了一大筆錢，年輕時還經營大麻。

The Witkoff Family

威特科夫家族

A longtime friend of Donald Trump’s, Steven Witkoff has donated $2 million to his campaigns. Witkoff’s sons, Alex and Zach, are listed as co-founders of World Liberty.

史蒂文·威特科夫 (Steven Witkoff) 是唐納德·川普 (Donald Trump) 的老朋友，已為他的競選活動捐贈了 200 萬美元。威特科夫的兒子亞歷克斯和札克被列為世界自由組織的共同創辦人。

Witkoff described Chase Herro and Zachary Folkman as “exceptionally bright people” in an X Spaces livestream to promote the project last month. He also said that World Liberty had been in development for “close to nine months.”

Witkoff 在上個月宣傳該項目的 X Spaces 直播中將 Chase Herro 和 Zachary Folkman 描述為「非常聰明的人」。他還表示，World Liberty 的開發已經「近九個月」。

World Liberty also counts a retinue of advisers drawn from venture capitalists, lawyers, and blockchain engineers.

World Liberty 還擁有一群來自創投家、律師和區塊鏈工程師的顧問。

Sandy Peng, co-founder of Ethereum layer-2 blockchain Scroll, is among the project’s advisers as is Polychain Capital general partner Luke Pearson.

以太坊二層區塊鏈 Scroll 的聯合創始人 Sandy Peng 和 Polychain Capital 的普通合夥人 Luke Pearson 都是該專案的顧問之一。

Accredited investors could begin participating in the World Liberty token sale on Tuesday.

合格投資者可以在周二開始參與 World Liberty 代幣銷售。

According to onchain data, more than 9,000 Ethereum wallet addresses are currently holders of the WLFI token.

根據鏈上數據，目前有超過 9000 個以太幣錢包地址持有 WLFI 代幣。
