Polygon Labs首席執行官Marc Boiron說，區塊鏈技術將重塑互聯網

Polygon Labs首席執行官Marc Boiron表示，區塊鏈技術不僅僅是財務，而是重塑互聯網本身。

Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, envisions a future internet powered by blockchain technology, shifting the paradigm of online interaction and data ownership.

Polygon Labs首席執行官Marc Boiron設想了一個以區塊鏈技術為動力的未來互聯網，轉移了在線互動和數據所有權的範式。

In an interview on TheStreet Roundtable, Boiron explained how blockchain technology can be used to create a "trustless internet," eliminating the need to trust corporations to store and manage one’s data.

Boiron在對TheStreet圓桌會議的採訪中解釋瞭如何使用區塊鏈技術來創建“無信任的互聯網”，從而消除了信任公司來存儲和管理數據的需求。

“We often say at Polygon that we're building the trustless internet, and that's really our mission,” Boiron said. “The internet typically is one where you trust somebody. You want to use social media on the internet? What are you doing? You're trusting a team that builds a social media application to actually store your data and allow you to access it whenever you want.”

“我們經常在Polygon說我們正在建立無信任的互聯網，這確實是我們的使命，” Boiron說。 “互聯網通常是您信任某人的互聯網。您想在互聯網上使用社交媒體嗎？你在幹什麼？您正在信任一個建立社交媒體應用程序以實際存儲您的數據並允許您隨時訪問數據的團隊。”

According to Boiron, blockchain technology changes that equation by returning control of data to the individual.

根據Boiron的說法，區塊鏈技術通過將數據控制返回個人而變化。

“What you can do on the trustless internet, meaning on a blockchain, is actually create and store that data yourself,” Boiron continued. “Now, this doesn't mean you're storing it on your computer, you're actually storing it on a blockchain that is accessible at any point in time, where you don't have to trust that it will be kept available by one company.”

Boiron繼續說：“您可以在不信任的互聯網上做的事情，這意味著在區塊鏈上，實際上是自己創建並存儲了數據。” “現在，這並不意味著您將其存儲在計算機上，實際上是將其存儲在可以在任何時間點可以訪問的區塊鏈上存儲，在這種區塊鏈上，您不必相信它會由一家公司保存。”

The key difference, he explained, is that users can move their data anywhere they want, without being locked into a single platform.

他解釋說，關鍵區別在於，用戶可以將數據移動到他們想要的任何地方，而無需鎖定一個平台。

“Instead, what you know is that it is always going to be available, so you can access that data anytime,” he said. “You can move it somewhere else if you want to move it somewhere else, which is fantastic. But you can also actually release just pieces of information and data that you want.”

他說：“相反，您所知道的是它將始終可用，因此您可以隨時訪問該數據。” “如果您想將其移動到其他地方，這太棒了，可以將其移動到其他地方。但是您實際上也可以僅發布所需的信息和數據。”

And unlike today’s centralized platforms that monetize user data without consent, blockchain enables people to take back control.

與當今未經同意的用戶數據獲利的集中式平台不同，區塊鏈使人們能夠收回控制權。

“By the way, you could also sell that data if you wanted, instead of somebody else selling that data and earning money for you,” Boiron added.

Boiron補充說：“順便說一句，如果您願意，您也可以出售該數據，而不是其他人出售該數據並為您賺錢的人。”

Blockchain’s real-world utility

區塊鏈的現實世界實用程序

Boiron challenged the idea that blockchain is only useful for payments, instead framing it as a foundational technology that can reshape industries.

Boiron提出了這樣一種觀念，即區塊鏈僅對付款有用，而是將其作為可以重塑行業的基礎技術構建。

“The best way to frame this is to think about what the internet was intended to do,” he explained. “The original internet is for information. You want to be able to share information, read information, write information. When you think of a blockchain, what you're trying to do is the same thing, but with something that has value inherent in it.”

他解釋說：“構架這一點的最佳方法是考慮互聯網打算做什麼。” “原始互聯網是為了信息。您希望能夠共享信息，閱讀信息，寫入信息。當您想到一個區塊鏈時，您要做的是同一件事，但具有固有的價值。”

Bitcoin, he noted, is often treated like digital gold, but its functionality is limited.

他指出，比特幣經常被視為數字黃金，但其功能是有限的。

“The only thing you can do with that value is transfer it to somebody else. Well, that's not useful. What if you wanted to lend somebody money without an intermediary? What if you wanted to exchange two different tokens of value? You can do that.”

“您唯一可以使用該值的事情就是將其轉移給其他人。好吧，這沒有用。如果您想在沒有中介的情況下借錢呢？如果您想交換兩個不同價值的令牌怎麼辦？你可以做到。”

Beyond finance, blockchain can be used to verify content authenticity, preventing the spread of AI-generated misinformation.

除了金融外，區塊鏈還可以用來驗證內容真實性，從而防止AI生成的錯誤信息傳播。

“The way that I'm going to do that is to say, real pieces of information are actually stored on the blockchain,” Boiron said. “So anything that is not stored on the blockchain might actually not be original content.”

“我要做的就是說，實際信息實際上存儲在區塊鏈上，” Boiron說。 “因此，任何未存儲在區塊鏈上的東西實際上都不是原始內容。”

He also highlighted blockchain’s potential in agriculture, providing more precise tracking of farm equipment than traditional GPS.

他還強調了區塊鏈在農業方面的潛力，比傳統的全科醫生更精確地跟踪農場設備。

“Typically, you’d need to rely on a satellite that is often completely wrong and off by six feet or so,” Boiron said. “But with a blockchain, what you can do is actually incentivize people to run devices that allow you to get much closer and give information that is accurate as to one foot.”

“通常，您需要依靠通常是完全錯誤的衛星，且距離六英尺左右，” Boiron說。 “但是有了一個區塊鏈，您實際上可以激勵人們運行設備，使您更加接近並提供對一隻腳的準確信息。”
