IOTA 基金會偏離以物聯網為中心的目標，轉而支持代幣化

IOTA基金會聯合創始人兼董事會主席Dominik Schiener最近解釋了他們此舉的原因。

IOTA began its journey closely intertwined with the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). This network of interconnected physical devices, known as IoT, is a vast tapestry woven together by sensors, software, the cloud, and a multitude of technologies.

IOTA 的旅程開始與物聯網 (IoT) 的概念緊密相連。這種互連的實體設備網路（稱為物聯網）是由感測器、軟體、雲端和多種技術編織在一起的巨大掛毯。

In contrast to the original vision of IoT, IOTA harnesses the capabilities of its Tangle Web3 platform, which is underpinned by a directed acyclic graph (DAG) infrastructure. This architecture provides a conduit for tamper-proof data, feeless transactions, and minimal resource consumption.

與 IoT 的最初願景相反，IOTA 利用其 Tangle Web3 平台的功能，該平台以有向無環圖 (DAG) 基礎設施為基礎。該架構提供了防篡改資料、免費交易和最小資源消耗的管道。

Yet, those following the trajectory of the IOTA Foundation may have discerned a gradual shift from its IoT-centric endeavors towards a greater focus on tokenization. Recently, Dominik Schiener, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors at the IOTA Foundation, elaborated on the rationale behind this transition.

然而，那些關注 IOTA 基金會發展軌蹟的人可能已經發現，其以物聯網為中心的努力逐漸轉向更加關注代幣化。近日，IOTA基金會聯合創辦人兼董事會主席Dominik Schiener詳細闡述了這項轉變背後的理由。

A Departure from IoT and a Focus on Tokenization

遠離物聯網並關注代幣化

In an interview, Schiener noted that while the Internet of Things remains relevant, "the world has moved on" from it, at least in their view.

席納在接受採訪時指出，雖然物聯網仍然具有重要意義，但“世界已經發生了變化”，至少在他們看來是這樣。

This realization prompted the IOTA Foundation to slowly pivot away from its initial emphasis on "IoT." For Schiener, digitization and automation have become more pervasive than ever before. In light of this shift, tokenization has taken center stage in these endeavors.

這種體認促使 IOTA 基金會慢慢偏離最初對「物聯網」的重視。對席納來說，數位化和自動化比以往任何時候都更加普遍。鑑於這種轉變，代幣化已成為這些努力的中心舞台。

Schiener described tokenization as the "silver bullet of cryptocurrencies" due to its ability to transform assets into an immutable and self-sovereign entity, eliminating the need for intermediaries. He sees this as a crucial ingredient missing from industries in the digital age.

席納將代幣化描述為“加密貨幣的銀彈”，因為它能夠將資產轉變為不可變的、自我主權的實體，從而消除對中介機構的需求。他認為這是數位時代各產業所缺乏的關鍵要素。

The IOTA representative highlighted that tokenization remains "the biggest untapped market" as the majority of value in the world is still locked within dormant, analog assets. To this end, their aspiration is to integrate these real-world assets (RWAs) with Web3 to unleash their unrealized potential.

IOTA 代表強調，代幣化仍然是“最大的未開發市場”，因為世界上大部分價值仍然鎖定在休眠的模擬資產中。為此，他們的願望是將這些現實世界資產 (RWA) 與 Web3 集成，以釋放其未實現的潛力。

IOTA and Regulatory Compliance

IOTA 和監管合規性

The IOTA Foundation is a non-profit foundation registered in Germany, enabling it to collaborate with government entities, other non-profit organizations, and legitimate enterprises across Europe and beyond. This focus on regulatory compliance was further evidenced by the organization's strategic expansion into Abu Dhabi, strengthening its presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

IOTA基金會是一家在德國註冊的非營利基金會，使其能夠與歐洲及其他地區的政府實體、其他非營利組織和合法企業合作。該組織策略性擴張至阿布達比，加強其在中東和北非 (MENA) 地區的影響力，進一步證明了對監管合規性的重視。

Its flagship project in MENA is the Trade Logistics Information Pipeline (TLIP). In essence, the platform facilitates the tokenization of trade documents to expedite their processing, transfer, monitoring, and verification, all while ensuring their security and maintaining trust between transacting parties. Currently, TLIP is being piloted in the cross-border exchange of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) trade documents within the East African Community (EAC).

其在中東和北非地區的旗艦項目是貿易物流資訊管道（TLIP）。從本質上講，該平台促進了貿易文件的代幣化，以加快其處理、傳輸、監控和驗證，同時確保其安全並維持交易雙方之間的信任。目前，TLIP正在東非共同體（EAC）內的衛生和植物檢疫（SPS）貿易文件跨境交換中進行試驗。

IOTA: Operating Beyond the Norm

IOTA：超越常態的運營

Schiener emphasized that IOTA goes "beyond the typical crypto casino," unlike others, showcasing the tangible application of blockchain technology through their signature DAG architecture.

Schiener 強調，與其他公司不同，IOTA“超越了典型的加密貨幣賭場”，透過其標誌性的 DAG 架構展示了區塊鏈技術的實際應用。

The IOTA Foundation co-founder highlighted that there's more to blockchain and crypto than just trading and investing. With that, they've successfully demonstrated its use cases in trade finance, logistics tracking, digital product passports, and regional vouchers.

IOTA 基金會聯合創始人強調，區塊鏈和加密貨幣不僅僅是交易和投資。至此，他們成功展示了其在貿易融資、物流追蹤、數位產品護照和區域優惠券方面的用例。
