以太坊（ETH）聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin宣布該團隊正在考慮遷移到Poseidon Hash功能

目標是使零知識證明系統（ZK-Provers）在網絡上更好地工作。

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is inviting researchers to help the blockchain team better understand the security of the Poseidon hash function. The goal is to make zero-knowledge proof systems work better on the network.

以太坊聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin邀請研究人員幫助區塊鏈團隊更好地了解Poseidon Hash功能的安全性。目的是使零知識證明系統在網絡上更好地工作。

The Ethereum Foundation is considering migrating to the Poseidon hash function in a move that aims to optimize the performance of zero-knowledge proof (zk-proof) systems on the blockchain.

以太坊基金會正在考慮遷移到Poseidon Hash功能，旨在優化區塊鏈上零知識證明（ZK-PROFFARVE）系統的性能。

Buterin Explains the Importance of Poseidon Cryptanalysis

The goal is to make sure that the network is protected, and that the introduction of Poseidon does not create anyoperability issues or open up the chain to exploits.

目的是確保網絡受到保護，並且Poseidon的引入不會造成任何功能性問題或打開鏈條以利用。

"We really need to understand the security of Poseidon before using it. Sadly, despite a lot of effort, we don't yet have a complete picture," Buterin explained in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Buterin在X上的帖子中解釋說：“我們確實需要在使用波塞冬之前就了解波塞冬的安全性。可悲的是，儘管付出了很多努力，我們還沒有完整的照片。”

He then went on to invite researchers to join the ongoing program for cryptanalyzing Poseidon.

然後，他繼續邀請研究人員加入正在進行的Cryptanalyzing Poseidon的計劃。

"The Ethereum Foundation is currently running a program to invite researchers to attempt to break or otherwise analyze the стойност на хеш функцията на Poseidon. We've had some interesting results so far, but we'd like to invite more researchers to participate."

“以太坊基金會目前正在運行一項計劃，邀請研究人員試圖打破或以其他方式分析或以其他方式進行分析，以其他方式分析了Poseidon。到目前為止，我們已經取得了一些有趣的結果。但是我們希望邀請更多的研究人員參與。”

The Ethereum team had planned to move the deadline for the program to December 15. However, due to the complexity of the task and the importance of a thorough analysis, they have decided to extend it to March 15, 2025.

以太坊團隊計劃將該計劃的截止日期移至12月15日。但是，由於任務的複雜性和徹底分析的重要性，他們決定將其擴展到2025年3月15日。

The Foundations is hoping that researchers from the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) and the industry will apply to join the program.

基金會希望，來自國際密碼研究協會（IACR）和行業的研究人員將適用該計劃。

Potential Benefits of Poseidon Integration

波塞冬整合的潛在好處

Integrating Poseidon could optimize Ethereum's zk-prover operations, potentially leading to more efficient and scalable privacy-preserving applications on the network.

集成波塞冬可以優化以太坊的ZK-Prover操作，這可能會導致網絡上更有效，可擴展的隱私應用程序。

However, as Poseidon is a relatively new cryptographic primitive (a low-level cryptographic algorithm used as a basic building block for higher-level cryptographic algorithms), so a deep security analysis is needed.

但是，由於Poseidon是一種相對較新的密碼原始原始（一種低級加密算法，用作高級加密算法的基本構建塊），因此需要深入的安全性分析。

As such, Buterin's call for extensive cryptanalysis aims to determine if Poseidon satisfies Ethereum's exacting security benchmarks, thus mitigating the risk of network vulnerabilities.

因此，布特林（Buterin）呼籲進行廣泛的密碼分析旨在確定Poseidon是否滿足以太坊的嚴格安全基準，從而減輕網絡漏洞的風險。

Poseidon and ZKPs: Explained

Poseidon和ZKPS：解釋

Developed in 2019, Poseidon is a cryptographic hash function designed for zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) systems.

Poseidon於2019年開發，是一種專為零知識證明（ZKP）系統設計的加密哈希功能。

Unlike standard hash functions like SHA-256 or Keccak, which are optimized for general-purpose cryptography, Poseidon is specifically built for fast calculations in zero-knowledge circuits.

與標準哈希功能（如SHA-256或Keccak）相比，已針對通用加密進行了優化，Poseidon專門用於零知識電路中的快速計算。

On the other hand, ZKPs allow one party to prove to another that a statement is true without revealing any additional information. Because of this, they are very important for making privacy and scalability better in blockchain applications.

另一方面，ZKP允許一方向另一方證明陳述是正確的，而無需透露任何其他信息。因此，它們對於在區塊鏈應用中更好地使隱私和可擴展性非常重要。

Since it is designed specifically for ZKP systems, Poseidon offers efficient performance within zk-provers due to its algebraic structure, which aligns well with the arithmetic circuits used in these proofs.

由於它是專門為ZKP系統設計的，因此Poseidon由於其代數結構而在ZK-Provers內提供有效的性能，該結構與這些證明中使用的算術電路很好地一致。

This could give Ethereum several advantages, like lower gas fees for zk-rollups, faster proof generation, better privacy for on-chain transactions, and even future compatibility with Ethereum Layer 2 and beyond.

這可能會給以太坊帶來一些優勢，例如ZK滾動的較低汽油費，更快的證明生成，更好的鏈交易的隱私，甚至將來與以太坊2及以下層的兼容性。

Ethereum: A More Competitive Platform?

以太坊：一個更具競爭力的平台？

There are a lot of technicalities at play here, but the implications for Ethereum could be massive in case the migration takes place.

這裡有很多技術，但是如果遷移發生，對以太坊的影響可能會大大佔有重要作用。

It could mark a significant upgrade in the efficiency and scalability of ZKPs on the network. As a result, users could experience cheaper transactions, better privacy, and faster rollup finality, making Ethereum more competitive as a global smart contract and privacy platform.

它可以標誌著網絡上ZKP的效率和可擴展性的顯著升級。結果，用戶可以體驗更便宜的交易，更好的隱私和更快的匯總終端，從而使以太坊作為全球智能合約和隱私平台的競爭力更具競爭力。
