協議：北韓向加密貨幣開發商發放工資的運動內部

當試圖確定您的加密貨幣公司是否可能無意中僱用北韓工人時，有時關註一些小細節會有所幫助

CoinDesk's Bradley Keoun brings you the latest blockchain tech news each week. This week: North Korea's crypto dev hires, crypto startups that survived crypto winter, and bitcoin's bullish September.

CoinDesk 的 Bradley Keoun 每週為您帶來最新的區塊鏈技術新聞。本週：北韓的加密開發人員招募、熬過加密冬天的加密新創公司以及比特幣的牛市九月。

When trying to determine if your crypto company might be unwittingly employing North Korean workers, it helps to pay attention to little details that just don't seem to add up – such as when your workers claim they were distracted by an earthquake in Japan, when there was no recent earthquake in Japan. That's just one of the tantalizing details from our Sam Kessler's investigative opus, detailing North Korea's successful campaign to place its workers on crypto-company payrolls.

當試圖確定您的加密貨幣公司是否可能無意中僱用朝鮮工人時，注意那些似乎不合邏輯的小細節會有所幫助 - 例如當您的工人聲稱他們因日本地震而分心時，當日本最近沒有發生地震。這只是我們薩姆·凱斯勒 (Sam Kessler) 調查作品中誘人的細節之一，該作品詳細介紹了北韓成功地將其工人納入加密公司薪資單的行動。

HERMIT EMPIRE: An investigation published Wednesday by CoinDesk's Sam Kessler reveals just how aggressively and frequently North Korean job applicants have targeted crypto companies in particular – successfully navigating interviews, passing reference checks, even presenting impressive histories of code contributions on the open-source software repository GitHub.

隱士帝國：CoinDesk 的Sam Kessler 週三發布的一項調查顯示，北韓求職者特別頻繁地以加密貨幣公司為目標——成功通過面試，透過背景調查，甚至在開源軟體儲存庫上展示令人印象深刻的程式碼貢獻歷史GitHub。

Kessler spoke to more than a dozen crypto companies that said they inadvertently hired IT workers from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), as the nation is officially called. These interviews with founders, blockchain researchers and industry experts reveal that North Korean IT workers are far more prevalent in the crypto industry than previously thought. Virtually every hiring manager approached by CoinDesk for this story acknowledged that they had interviewed suspected North Korean developers, hired them unwittingly, or knew someone who had.

凱斯勒與十幾家加密貨幣公司進行了交談，這些公司表示，他們無意中僱用了來自朝鮮民主主義人民共和國（朝鮮的正式名稱）的 IT 員工。這些對創始人、區塊鏈研究人員和行業專家的採訪表明，北韓 IT 工人在加密貨幣行業中的普遍程度比之前想像的要高得多。事實上，CoinDesk 為這篇報導接觸的每一位招募經理都承認，他們採訪過可疑的北韓開發商，在不知情的情況下僱用了他們，或者認識的人有過這樣的經歷。

"The percentage of your incoming resumes, or people asking for jobs, or wanting to contribute – any of that stuff – that are probably from North Korea is greater than 50% across the entire crypto industry," said Zaki Manian, a prominent blockchain developer who says he inadvertently hired two DPRK IT workers to help develop the Cosmos Hub blockchain in 2021. "Everyone is struggling to filter out these people."

著名區塊鏈開發者扎基·馬尼安(Zaki Manian) 表示：「在整個加密行業，你收到的簡歷、求職或想要做出貢獻的人（任何此類東西）可能來自朝鮮的比例超過50%」他說，他無意中僱用了兩名朝鮮 IT 員工來幫助開發 2021 年的 Cosmos Hub 區塊鏈。“每個人都在努力過濾掉這些人。

Among the unwitting DPRK employers identified by CoinDesk were several well-established blockchain projects, such as Cosmos Hub, Injective, ZeroLend, Fantom, Sushi and Yearn Finance. “This has all been happening behind the scenes,” said Manian. This investigation marks the first time any of these companies have publicly acknowledged that they inadvertently hired DPRK IT workers.

CoinDesk 發現的不知情的北韓雇主中有幾個成熟的區塊鏈項目，例如 Cosmos Hub、Injective、ZeroLend、Fantom、Sushi 和 Yearn Finance。 「這一切都是在幕後發生的，」馬尼安說。此次調查標誌著這些公司首次公開承認他們無意中僱用了北韓 IT 工人。

Crypto's hellish 2022 was awash in washouts: Terra-Luna crashed, FTX rugged and crypto lenders bombed. Yet the disasters failed to sink many of the teams perhaps most vulnerable to mayhem: early-stage startups.

加密貨幣地獄般的 2022 年充滿了洗劫：Terra-Luna 崩潰，FTX 崎嶇不平，加密貨幣貸款機構遭到轟炸。然而，災難並沒有擊垮許多可能最容易受到破壞的團隊：早期新創公司。

Over 80% of the crypto startups that announced seed rounds in 2022 continue to build today, according to a new report from Lattice VC.

根據 Lattice VC 的一份新報告，超過 80% 宣佈在 2022 年進行種子輪融資的加密貨幣新創公司如今仍在繼續發展。

The finding may add some retrospective hope to what was otherwise crypto’s darkest year yet. Venture capital companies deployed over $5 billion into 1,200 teams that unveiled their seed rounds during the tumultuous months of 2022 – 2.5 times more capital than in 2021.

這項發現可能會為加密貨幣史上最黑暗的一年增添一些回顧性的希望。創投公司向 1,200 個團隊投入了超過 50 億美元，這些團隊在 2022 年動蕩的幾個月中推出了種子輪融資——是 2021 年的 2.5 倍。

“Because of the massive influx of capital for 2022, there was just a natural expectation” of a higher fail rate, said Mike Zajko, co-founder at Lattice. The prediction hasn’t really come to fruition.

Lattice 聯合創辦人 Mike Zajko 表示，「由於 2022 年資本大量湧入，人們自然而然地預期」失敗率會更高。這個預言還沒有真正實現。

Bitcoin's Uncharacteristically Strong September Yields to Unpleasant October Surprise

比特幣九月異常強勁，十月令人不快

Bitcoin (BTC) is suffering its worst start to October, typically its most bullish month, as Israel-Iran tensions have flared. Some $450 million in bullish crypto bets were liquidated.

隨著以色列和伊朗緊張局勢的加劇，比特幣（BTC）正經歷十月份最糟糕的開局，通常是最樂觀的月份。約 4.5 億美元的看漲加密貨幣押注被清算。

September, on the other hand, looked bullish – typically in the largest cryptocurrency's worst month of the year.

另一方面，九月看起來很樂觀——通常是在一年中最糟糕的月份。

Bitcoin (BTC), despite gaining an entirely respectable 8.3% during the month, was a bit of a laggard compared to the rest of the CoinDesk 20 members.

比特幣 (BTC) 儘管本月上漲了 8.3%，但與 CoinDesk 20 的其他成員相比還是有點落後。

The alternative layer-1 blockchain's NEAR token topped the charts, with a 36% climb.

Ethereum's ETH put in another month of subpar performance, in what has been an inarguably lackluster year for the largest smart-contract blockchain.

以太坊的 ETH 又一個月表現不佳，對於最大的智慧合約區塊鏈來說，這無疑是低迷的一年。

Polygon's MATIC, which is being swapped out for a new token called POL, was the index's sole loser during the month, sliding 3.2%.

Polygon 的 MATIC 正在被替換為名為 POL 的新代幣，它是該指數本月唯一的下跌者，下跌了 3.2%。
