CoinDesk’s Protocol newsletter unpacks the tech behind crypto, one block at a time. This week:

CoinDesk 的協議電子報逐一解開加密背後的技術。本星期：

Former President Donald Trump's much-anticipated announcement of a new crypto company, World Liberty Financial, did not disappoint. At least, it didn't disappoint traders on the Polymarket prediction-betting site who had wagered that the project would announce plans to launch a token. The project's team – the Republican candidate's sons Don Jr. and Eric spoke during the X Spaces discussion – was unequivocal that there would be a token, with the ticker WLFI. After a two-hour-plus session that included lots of yuks and crosstalk, however, it was less clear what the company will actually do. The most definitive account came from CoinDesk reporters including Sam Kessler got his hands on a draft white paper revealing that World Liberty Financial might closely reveal a DeFi project called Dough Finance that failed to gain traction and was hacked for $2 million. Both Zak Folkman and Chase Herro, who were responsible for Dough, confirmed their involvement in World Liberty Financial via their appearance on the X Spaces. The lead moderator of the session, Rug Radio's Farokh Sarmad, expressed astonishment that the elder Trump even showed up – given a schedule packed with rallies, debates, stump speeches, golf and an attempted assassination in Florida the previous day. Politico Morning Money called out the "risks Trump is taking by embracing a business venture his sons are launching less than 50 days before the election." Eric Trump said on the session that decentralized finance needed to be easier to use for regular people, noting the extreme difficulties he encountered when "looping Ethereum on Aave," the biggest DeFi lending platform. There wasn't much discussion of the risks of hacks, exploits and single points of failure that serve as the starting point for a lot of foundational conversations about blockchain-project architecture. Eithan Raviv, CEO of Israeli crypto-recovery firm Lionsgate Network, emailed The Protocol to say that "the major security concerns with this project include a lack of transparency, unclear asset protections and heightened cyber risks due to the high-profile individual involved."

前總統川普備受期待地宣布成立一家新的加密貨幣公司 World Liberty Financial，這一消息並沒有令人失望。至少，它並沒有讓 Polymarket 預測投注網站上的交易者失望，他們押注該項目將宣布推出代幣的計劃。該項目的團隊——共和黨候選人的兒子小唐和埃里克在 X Spaces 討論中發言——明確表示將會有一個代幣，股票代碼為 WLFI。然而，經過兩個多小時的會議，其中包括大量的厭惡和相聲，人們不太清楚該公司實際上會做什麼。最明確的說法來自CoinDesk 記者，其中Sam Kessler 拿到了一份白皮書草案，其中透露World Liberty Financial 可能會密切披露一個名為Dough Finance 的DeFi 項目，該項目未能獲得關注，並被黑客盜取了200萬美元。 Dough 的負責人 Zak Folkman 和 Chase Herro 透過出現在 X Spaces 上證實了他們參與了 World Liberty Financial。會議的首席主持人、Rug Radio 的法羅克·薩爾馬德(Farokh Sarmad) 對老特朗普竟然出現表示驚訝——考慮到前一天的日程安排包括集會、辯論、競選演講、高爾夫和佛羅裡達州的一次暗殺未遂事件。 《Politico Morning Money》指出，“川普在距離大選不到 50 天的時間裡接受他的兒子們發起的商業投資，這是冒著風險的。”艾瑞克川普在會議上表示，去中心化金融需要更容易為普通人使用，並指出他在最大的 DeFi 借貸平台 Aave 上「循環以太坊」時遇到的極端困難。沒有太多關於駭客攻擊、漏洞利用和單點故障風險的討論，而這些風險是有關區塊鏈專案架構的許多基礎對話的起點。以色列加密貨幣恢復公司Lionsgate Network 的執行長Eithan Raviv 在給The Protocol 的電子郵件中表示，「該項目的主要安全問題包括缺乏透明度、資產保護不明確以及由於涉及的知名人士而導致網路風險加劇。 」

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote on X that he will avoid any mentions of those projects that aren't decentralized enough. To merit any ink, they have to at least meet a decentralization threshold known as "Stage 1," under a hierarchy he laid out years ago in a blog post. “Starting next year, I plan to only publicly mention (in blogs, talks, etc) L2s that are stage 1+,” Buterin wrote. “It doesn't matter if I invested, or if you're my friend; stage 1 or bust.”

以太坊聯合創始人 Vitalik Buterin 在 X 上寫道，他將避免提及那些不夠去中心化的項目。為了獲得任何墨水，他們至少必須滿足稱為「第一階段」的去中心化門檻，這是他多年前在一篇部落格文章中提出的層次結構。 「從明年開始，我計劃隻公開提及（在部落格、演講等）處於 1+ 階段的 L2，」Buterin 寫道。 「無論我是否投資，或者你是否是我的朋友，都沒關係；第一階段或蕭條。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed suit against three individuals and five companies for allegedly operating pig butchering scams – a type of confidence-enabled investment scam in which fraudsters befriend victims over text-based social media apps, gain their trust and convince them to invest large amounts of money in fictitious crypto platforms before stealing their funds and disappearing. Separately, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) announced sanctions against one of Cambodia’s wealthiest businessmen for allegedly playing a role in serious human rights abuses – including human trafficking and torture – tied to a pig butchering scam operation headquartered in the Southeast Asian country.

美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 已對三名個人和五家公司提起訴訟，指控他們涉嫌經營生豬屠宰騙局，這是一種以信任為基礎的投資騙局，欺詐者通過基於文本的社交媒體應用程序與受害者交朋友，獲得他們的信任並說服他們在虛構的加密平台上投入大量資金，然後竊取他們的資金並消失。另外，美國財政部外國資產管制辦公室(OFAC) 宣布對柬埔寨最富有的商人之一實施制裁，因為他涉嫌參與嚴重侵犯人權的行為，包括人口販運和酷刑，與總部位於東南部的屠宰生豬詐騙活動有關亞洲國家。

Bhutan, a Himalayan nation with fewer than 1 million people, has accumulated over $780 million in bitcoin, {BTC} "Unlike most governments, Bhutan’s BTC does not come from law enforcement asset seizures, but from Bitcoin mining operations, which have ramped up dramatically since early 2023," according to Arkham, a blockchain-analysis platform.

不丹是一個人口不到100 萬的喜馬拉雅國家，已累積了超過7.8 億美元的比特幣，{BTC}「與大多數政府不同，不丹的BTC 並非來自執法部門沒收的資產，而是來自急劇增加的比特幣挖礦業務自 2023 年初以來，」區塊鏈分析平台 Arkham 表示。

Howard Winklevoss, father of the famous crypto twins, is donating $4 million in bitcoin {BTC} in a first-of-its-kind donation to Grove City College, where he developed an interest for sound money and the Austrian school of economics that also later influenced Satoshi. Winklevoss told CoinDesk that he first learned about the principle of sound money at Grove City College while studying under Hans Sennholz, a free-market, Austrian-School economist and professor who had studied under Ludwig von Mises.

著名的加密貨幣雙胞胎之父霍華德·文克萊沃斯(Howard Winklevoss) 向格羅夫城市學院(Grove City College) 捐贈了400 萬美元的比特幣(BTC)，這是史無前例的捐贈，他在那裡對穩健貨幣產生了興趣，而奧地利經濟學院也後來影響了中本聰。文克萊沃斯告訴CoinDesk，他在格羅夫城市學院師從漢斯·森霍爾茨(Hans Sennholz) 時首次了解了穩健貨幣的原理。奧地利學派經濟學家和教授，曾師從路德維希·馮·米塞斯(Ludwig von Mises)。

It's only been six months since Ethereum, the dominant smart-contract blockchain, had its last major upgrade. But there are so many developer priorities for what to tackle next that there's a growing realization they can't all happen at once.

距離主導的智慧合約區塊鏈以太坊上一次重大升級僅過去了六個月。但開發人員接下來要解決的優先事項如此之多，以至於人們越來越意識到這些事情不可能同時發生。

So now, Ethereum developers are considering dividing the highly anticipated Pectra upgrade into two parts.

所以現在，以太坊開發者正在考慮將備受期待的Pectra升級分成兩個部分。

Pectra was on track to be Ethereum’s biggest hard fork to date. (A hard fork, in this case, is the technical blockchain term for the software upgrade.) But some developers argue that the entire package of new features has become unwieldy, and they have expressed a desire to

Pectra 有望成為以太坊迄今為止最大的硬分叉。 （在這種情況下，硬分叉是軟體升級的技術區塊鏈術語。）但一些開發人員認為，整個新功能包已經變得笨拙，他們表示希望
