以隱私為中心的第2層將改變以太坊的企業未來

區塊鏈行業處於十字路口。儘管該行業在開發擴展解決方案方面取得了重大進展，但基本挑戰仍然沒有解決：需要可編程的隱私。

The blockchain industry has made significant headway in developing scaling solutions, but a fundamental challenge remains unaddressed: the need for programmable privacy.

區塊鏈行業在開發擴展解決方案方面取得了重大進展，但基本挑戰仍然沒有解決：需要可編程的隱私。

The enforced transparency of blockchains prevents their adoption in cases where user privacy is paramount, including real-world assets, supply chain management, and distributed identity protocols.

在用戶隱私是最重要的情況下，包括現實世界資產，供應鏈管理和分佈式身份協議在內的情況下，區塊鏈的強制透明性可阻止其採用。

In order for blockchain to be adopted into mainstream use, the industry has to prioritize programmable privacy—a requirement essential for institutional users.

為了將區塊鏈用於主流使用，該行業必須優先考慮可編程隱私，這對於機構用戶來說是必不可少的。

The next generation of Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) solutions emphasizes this crucial aspect. Through innovations in zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography, privacy-focused L2s are positioned to bridge the gap between public blockchain benefits and institutional privacy demands.

下一代以太坊2（L2）解決方案強調了這一關鍵方面。通過零知識（ZK）密碼學的創新，以隱私為中心的L2可以彌合公共區塊鏈利益與機構隱私需求之間的差距。

Privacy: The missing piece to scaling Ethereum

隱私：縮放以太坊的缺失作品

Blockchain’s enforced transparency creates a significant limitation. To validate the ledger’s correctness and ensure no fraudulent activities occur, users must be able to verify all transactions occurring on the network.

區塊鏈的強制透明度產生了重大限制。為了驗證分類帳的正確性並確保不進行欺詐活動，用戶必須能夠驗證網絡上發生的所有交易。

This transparency becomes problematic when connecting blockchain with real-world assets and identities.

將區塊鏈與實際資產和身份聯繫起來時，這種透明度就會變得有問題。

Currently, linking real-world identities to cryptocurrency accounts requires either broadcasting personal information onchain or relying on data custodians as trusted intermediaries.

當前，將現實世界的身份與加密貨幣帳戶聯繫起來需要將個人信息播放OnChain或依靠數據保管人作為受信任的中介機構。

The first option proves unworkable for most use cases—imagine if every ATM transaction broadcast account balances publicly, or if all online purchases could be viewed by anyone, including mortgage payments, credit card debts, and late billing fees.

對於大多數用例，第一種選擇是不可行的- 想像一下，如果每個ATM交易廣播帳戶公開均衡，或者如果任何人都可以查看所有在線購買，包括抵押貸款付款，信用卡債務和較晚的賬單費。

While data custodians may seem attractive, they break blockchain’s fundamental value proposition: composability — the ability of smart contracts, protocols, and dApps to seamlessly interact.

儘管數據保管人似乎很有吸引力，但它們打破了區塊鏈的基本價值主張：合成性 - 智能合約，協議和DAPP無縫交互的能力。

This composability achieves efficiency gains similar to vertical integration in traditional industries, acting as a force multiplier for smaller companies. It allows these companies to integrate services they would otherwise need to develop internally or access at a premium from third parties.

這種合成性實現了與傳統行業中垂直整合相似的效率，它是較小公司的力量乘數。它允許這些公司集成他們本來需要內部開發或以第三方溢價訪問的服務。

Data custodians fundamentally disrupt this model. When an application relies on a data custodian, any third-party application seeking to integrate must first interact with these custodians, creating permission barriers that may prove insurmountable.

數據保管人從根本上破壞了這一模型。當申請依賴數據保管人時，任何尋求集成的第三方申請都必須首先與這些託管人互動，從而創建可能無法克服的許可障礙。

This mirrors the theoretical scenario of needing to ask for permission from the Ethereum Foundation just to deploy smart contracts—a situation that would have severely limited Ethereum’s success.

這反映了需要向以太坊基金會徵求​​智能合約的允許的理論情況，這種情況將嚴重限制以太坊的成功。

Zero-knowledge cryptography: A game-changer for private transactions

零知識密碼學：改變私人交易的遊戲規則

Privacy-first L2 architecture, powered by zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology, enables transaction verification while maintaining complete privacy of sensitive business information.

由零知識證明（ZKP）技術提供支持的隱私優先型L2體系結構，在維護敏感業務信息的完整隱私的同時，可以進行交易驗證。

ZKPs allow validation and execution of transactions at scale while keeping sensitive business details entirely private.

ZKP允許按大規模驗證和執行交易，同時將敏感業務詳細信息完全私密。

ZKPs set themselves apart from traditional privacy solutions by establishing verifiable privacy without sacrificing scalability, providing mathematically secure privacy for applications including payments, identity verification, and compliance.

ZKP通過在不犧牲可伸縮性的情況下建立可驗證的隱私，為數學上的隱私提供了包括付款，身份驗證和合規性在內的數學上的隱私，從而使自己與傳統隱私解決方案區分開來。

Unlike earlier approaches to blockchain privacy that hindered functionality, ZKPs make blockchain technology ideal for institutional use cases, protecting sensitive data without compromising speed or usability.

與較早的區塊鏈隱私方法阻礙功能的方法不同，ZKPS使區塊鏈技術非常適合機構用例，保護敏感數據而不會損害速度或可用性。

When combined with tools that lower technical barriers to adoption, developers can utilize ZK without domain expertise. Through universal programming languages for ZK applications, it is easy for developers to integrate privacy-preserving technologies into applications.

當結合降低採用技術障礙的工具時，開發人員可以使用ZK而沒有領域專業知識。通過用於ZK應用程序的通用編程語言，開發人員很容易將保護隱私技術集成到應用程序中。

Since Ethereum’s launch, the vision has been to provide traditional financial services in a user-focused manner, minimizing intermediaries and creating an open, competitive environment.

自以太坊發布以來，願景一直是以用戶為中心的方式提供傳統的金融服務，最大程度地減少中介機構並創造開放的競爭環境。

What was missing for legacy industries like healthcare, finance, and supply chain management was programmable privacy—the critical ingredient for institutional adoption.

醫療保健，金融和供應鏈管理等傳統行業缺少的是可編程的隱私，這是機構採用的關鍵要素。

Institutional adoption: Bringing blockchain to enterprise use cases

機構採用：將區塊鏈帶到企業用例

With the use of ZKPs, data protection requirements and regulatory compliance become deeply complementary.

隨著ZKP的使用，數據保護要求和法規合規性變得非常互補。

With the ability to store encrypted sensitive information on-chain that users can query and validate, privacy-focused L2s can host transaction networks where transactions can only occur if participants are compliant. This can result in substantially more secure environments than traditional finance, where compliance is retro-active and has a legendarily poor track record of catching bad behaviour.

有了能夠在用戶可以查詢和驗證的鍊子上存儲加密的敏感信息，以隱私為中心的L2可以託管交易網絡，只有在參與者合規的情況下才能發生交易。這可能會導致比傳統財務更加安全的環境，在這種財務上，合規性是恢復活躍的，並且在捕捉不良行為方面的記錄範圍很差。

A privacy-focused L2 can also deploy miniature isolated networks within the L2, ensuring that proprietary smart contracts are only visible to permissioned entities.

以隱私為中心的L2還可以在L2中部署微型隔離網絡，以確保只有許可實體才能看到專有的智能合約。

While not ideal as a pattern for the wider ecosystem, this does enable institutions to deploy sensitive code that comes with licensing restrictions, such as proprietary trade-matching algorithms.

雖然不是更廣泛的生態系統模式的理想，但這確實使機構能夠部署許可限制（例如專有協商算法）附帶的敏感代碼。

By enabling private transactions, L2 solutions eliminate risks tied to open-source code, allowing institutions access to the benefits of blockchain while minimizing downsides.

通過啟用私人交易，L2解決方案消除了與開源代碼相關的風險，從而使機構可以訪問區塊鏈的好處，同時最大程度地減少弊端。

Privacy-focused L2 architecture offers a true bridge to broader institutional adoption, establishing the Web3 space as a meaningful foundation for enterprise solutions and providing access to sectors that demand the highest levels of privacy and compliance.

以隱私為中心的L2 Architecture為更廣泛的機構採用提供了真正的橋樑，將Web3空間確立為企業解決方案的有意義的基礎，並提供對需要最高級別隱私和合規性的行業的訪問權限。

Looking to the future

展望未來

As Ethereum’s capabilities evolve, privacy-focused L2s are leading the way for broader institutional adoption across finance, identity, and beyond.

隨著以太坊的能力的發展，以隱私為中心的L2在財務，身份和其他地區進行更廣泛的製度採用方面。

By prioritizing both privacy and scalability, these solutions transform blockchain into a viable option for institutions, allowing traditional systems to bridge with decentralized systems while upholding both user privacy and regulatory standards.

通過優先考慮隱私性和可擴展性，這些解決方案將區塊鏈轉換為機構的可行選擇，從而使傳統系統能夠使用分散的系統橋接，同時維護用戶隱私和監管標準。
