該文件和其他報告描述的借貸服務與 Dough Finance 驚人相似

Former U.S. President Donald Trump and his sons are reportedly preparing to launch a cryptocurrency project named World Liberty Financial.

據報道，美國前總統唐納德·川普和他的兒子們正準備啟動一個名為「世界自由金融」的加密貨幣計畫。

According to a white paper obtained by CoinDesk and people familiar with the matter, the project will include a borrowing and lending service powered by decentralized finance (DeFi).

根據 CoinDesk 和知情人士獲得的一份白皮書，該計畫將包括由去中心化金融（DeFi）支援的借貸服務。

The project, which was initially teased on social media, will be spearheaded by Trump, who has taken the title of "Chief Crypto Advocate."

該項目最初在社交媒體上被調侃，將由川普領導，他擁有「首席加密倡導者」的頭銜。

His sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., will serve as "Web3 Ambassadors" and appear to be playing a key role in promoting the initiative.

他的兒子埃里克·特朗普 (Eric Trump) 和小唐納德·特朗普 (Donald Trump Jr.) 將擔任“Web3 大使”，似乎在推動該計劃方面發揮著關鍵作用。

The white paper describes a "credit account system" built on the Aave DeFi platform and the Ethereum blockchain to facilitate decentralized borrowing and lending.

白皮書描述了一個基於 Aave DeFi 平台和以太坊區塊鏈構建的“信用帳戶系統”，以促進去中心化借貸。

Governance tokens, such as WLFI, are typically used in crypto projects to allow holders to participate in decision-making processes.

治理代幣（例如 WLFI）通常用於加密項目，以允許持有者參與決策過程。

In this case, the platform's users "can suggest and vote on adding new DeFi lending markets or integrating new blockchains," the white paper states.

白皮書指出，在這種情況下，該平台的用戶「可以建議並投票增加新的 DeFi 借貸市場或整合新的區塊鏈」。

The project also aims to provide an "easy-to-use interface for accessing WLFI as a 'smart account' or a brokerage."

該項目還旨在提供一個“易於使用的介面，用於將 WLFI 作為‘智慧帳戶’或經紀公司進行訪問。”

Previous attempts to create crypto brokerage services have had varying success, with some companies like Voyager Digital filing for bankruptcy in 2022, leading to significant customer losses.

先前創建加密貨幣經紀服務的嘗試取得了不同程度的成功，Voyager Digital 等一些公司於 2022 年申請破產，導致大量客戶流失。

Meanwhile, traditional financial firms have also expressed interest in offering brokerage services to crypto clients, though they have largely refrained from venturing deep into DeFi.

同時，傳統金融公司也表示有興趣為加密貨幣客戶提供經紀服務，儘管他們基本上沒有涉足 DeFi。
