據稱 Lido 聯合創始人正在密謀與 Sam Altman 的世界網絡競爭

新的數位身分平台Y放棄了世界網路有爭議的生物特徵認證，轉而採用基於用戶線上活動的系統。

Crypto veterans, including the co-founders of decentralized finance (DeFi) juggernaut Lido (CRYPTO: LDO), are preparing to launch "Y," a blockchain identity platform aimed squarely at competing with World Network, formerly known as Worldcoin.

加密貨幣資深人士，包括去中心化金融（DeFi）巨頭Lido（CRYPTO：LDO）的聯合創始人，正準備推出“Y”，一個區塊鏈身份平台，旨在與World Network（以前稱為Worldcoin）競爭。

CoinDesk obtained an internal planning document for the new project, and a person close to Cyber Fund, the venture firm led by Lido co-founders Konstantin Lomashuk and Vasiliy Shapovalov, confirmed the document is genuine. It lays out a vision for a new blockchain-based identity platform that skips World's controversial eyeball-scanning Orb.

CoinDesk 獲得了新項目的內部規劃文件，一位與由 Lido 聯合創始人 Konstantin Lomashuk 和 Vasiliy Shapovalov 領導的風險投資公司 Cyber​​ Fund 關係密切的人士證實該文件是真實的。它提出了一個基於區塊鏈的新身份平台的願景，該平台跳過了世界上有爭議的眼球掃描 Orb。

Cyber Fund declined to comment. Ekram Ahmed, the head of marketing and communications for the blockchain infrastructure project Celestia, told CoinDesk he was also joining Y as an advisor. The upcoming project is not otherwise connected to Celestia, Ahmed said.

網路基金拒絕置評。區塊鏈基礎設施專案 Celestia 的行銷和傳播主管 Ekram Ahmed 告訴 CoinDesk，他也將以顧問的身份加入 Y。艾哈邁德說，即將推出的項目與 Celestia 沒有其他聯繫。

The document, titled "Y vs. WorldCoin," describes how Y plans to play up World Network’s controversies — from privacy concerns, to accusations of exploitative user recruitment practices, to a generalized phobia of the project's metallic iris-scanning orb — as it courts users.

這份題為「Y vs. WorldCoin」的文件描述了Y 計畫如何渲染世界網路的爭議——從隱私問題到剝削性用戶招募行為的指控，再到對該計畫的金屬虹膜掃描球的普遍恐懼症——因為它正在尋求用戶。

Rather than biometric data, Y will look at the traces people leave behind while using the internet to verify they are human. This method, according to the Y planning document, addresses privacy risks and minimizes fraud — in sharp contrast to World’s reliance on iris scans.

Y 將查看人們在使用網路時留下的痕跡來驗證他們是人類，而不是生物辨識資料。根據 Y 規劃文件，這種方法可以解決隱私風險並最大限度地減少欺詐，這與 World 對虹膜掃描的依賴形成鮮明對比。

Over time, Y's creators apparently intend to build a "Crypto SuperApp that allows users to privately build and earn from their digital identity." The vision isn't far off from that of World Network, whose product suite includes an identity-centric blockchain, crypto wallet and app ecosystem.

隨著時間的推移，Y 的創建者顯然打算構建一個「加密超級應用程序，允許用戶私下構建並從其數位身份中獲利」。這個願景與 World Network 的願景相距不遠，其產品套件包括以身分為中心的區塊鏈、加密錢包和應用程式生態系統。

The Y document is scarce on implementation details, focusing instead on how Y will be marketed as a "direct competitor to WorldCoin" – a strategy explicitly designed to "attract maximum attention."

Y 文件很少提及實施細節，而是重點關注 Y 將如何作為「世界幣的直接競爭對手」進行行銷——這一策略明確旨在「吸引最大程度的關注」。

Like World, Y will ostensibly help internet users identify themselves as humans, which is expected to become increasingly important as AI tools and AI-generated content fool legacy identity solutions.

與 World 一樣，Y 表面上將幫助網路使用者識別自己的人類身份，隨著人工智慧工具和人工智慧生成的內容愚弄傳統身份解決方案，這一點預計將變得越來越重要。

The key difference between the two platforms will be how they authenticate users.

這兩個平台之間的主要區別在於它們如何驗證用戶身份。

Whereas World assigns users "World IDs" using biometric data – those creepy iris scans – Y "aggregates data from users’ existing socials and blockchain activity, and also employs the Ethereum Attestation Service" to verify users. The Ethereum Attestation Service is a set of tools people can use to formally "attest" to the accuracy of certain data, which can be useful for applications like user authentication.

World 使用生物識別數據（那些令人毛骨悚然的虹膜掃描）為用戶分配“世界 ID”，而 Y“聚合來自用戶現有社交和區塊鏈活動的數據，並使用以太坊證明服務”來驗證用戶。以太坊證明服務是人們可以用來正式「證明」某些數據的準確性的一組工具，這對於用戶身份驗證等應用程式非常有用。

According to the authors of the planning document reviewed by CoinDesk, Y's authentication processes are designed to address some of WorldCoin's shortcomings, such as "eliminating risks related to biometric data leaks and minimizing opportunities for fraud."

根據 CoinDesk 審查的規劃文件的作者的說法，Y 的身份驗證流程旨在解決 WorldCoin 的一些缺點，例如「消除與生物特徵資料外洩相關的風險並最大限度地減少詐欺機會」。

Y's "social-graph-based" approach is also meant to provide a more "nuanced numerical score" to determine a user's "personhood" compared to World's Orb, which delivers a simple binary reading on whether or not a person is human.

與World 的Orb 相比，Y 的“基於社交圖”的方法還旨在提供更“細緻入微的數字分數”來確定用戶的“人格”，World 的Orb 提供簡單的二進制讀數來判斷一個人是否是人類。

According to the planning document reviewed by CoinDesk, Y's marketing will focus on World Network's "controversial aspects."

根據 CoinDesk 審查的規劃文件，Y 的行銷將集中在 World Network 的「有爭議的方面」。

Chief among the project's controversies has been its reliance on biometric data. World maintains that it securely encrypts iris scans, but as the authors of the Y document note, the service has nonetheless "sparked serious privacy concerns, resulting in bans in countries like Spain and Kenya."

該計畫的主要爭議在於其對生物識別數據的依賴。 World 堅稱它可以安全地加密虹膜掃描，但正如 Y 文件的作者指出的那樣，該服務仍然「引發了嚴重的隱私問題，導致西班牙和肯亞等國家被禁止」。

World has also led to the proliferation of black markets, where users can buy and sell scans to create fake accounts. Moreover, its reliance on centralized hardware and connections to OpenAI have sparked concern among some decentralization-minded crypto natives.

World 也導致了黑市的激增，用戶可以在其中買賣掃描來建立虛假帳戶。此外，它對中心化硬體的依賴以及與 OpenAI 的連接引發了一些具有去中心化思想的加密貨幣原生者的擔憂。

If Y intends to compete head-on with World, it will need to make up a lot of ground in terms of user numbers. World launched in 2023 and has since onboarded more than 15 million users, according to numbers released last month by the project. Seven million of those users have reportedly been authenticated by World's Orb, with the rest opting for a lower-tier World ID that doesn't require eyeball scanning.

如果Y想要與World正面競爭，就需要在用戶數量上搶佔先機。根據該計畫上個月發布的數據，World 於 2023 年推出，迄今已擁有超過 1,500 萬用戶。據報道，其中 700 萬用戶已通過 World's Orb 進行身份驗證，其餘用戶則選擇不需要眼球掃描的較低級別的 World ID。

Lido is the largest decentralized finance app on Ethereum, with more than $26 billion in "staked" deposits from investors who "stake" ETH with the platform to help power Ethereum's security.

Lido 是以太坊上最大的去中心化金融應用程序，擁有超過 260 億美元的「質押」存款，投資者透過該平台「質押」ETH，以幫助增強以太坊的安全性。

In addition to leveraging their clout among crypto netizens to promote Y, Lido's founders are likely to seize on World's connections to OpenAI in their bid to attract users.

除了利用他們在加密貨幣網友中的影響力來推廣 Y 之外，Lido 的創始人還可能利用 World 與 OpenAI 的聯繫來吸引用戶。

"With Sam Altman, co-founder of both WorldCoin and OpenAI, we have a real possibility that WorldCoin may follow the same path as OpenAI," the Y document states, noting that "OpenAI started as an open-source, non-profit project, but later became a closed-source for-profit corporation."

Y 文件指出：「與 WorldCoin 和 OpenAI 聯合創始人 Sam Altman 一起，我們確實有可能 WorldCoin 可能會走與 OpenAI 相同的道路，」Y 文件指出，「OpenAI 最初是一個開源、非營利項目，但後來成為一家閉源營利公司。

It's unclear how — or whether — Y will leverage ties to Lido or any of Cyber Fund's other portfolio companies, which include the

目前尚不清楚 Y 將如何（或是否）利用與 Lido 或 Cyber​​ Fund 的任何其他投資組合公司的聯繫，其中包括
