Solana DePIN Ambient 在代幣發行前籌集資金，收購 PlanetWatch 網路 |街區

Ambient 是總部位於 Solana 的 DePIN，專注於環境數據收集，獲得了由 Borderless Capital 領投的 200 萬美元種子資金。 Ambient 成立於 2023 年 1 月，收購了 PlanetWatch 的空氣品質監測網絡，將其遷移到 Solana，並計劃在該平台上推出自己的代幣。該公司的感測器網路目前由 PLANETS 代幣提供支援，已從 20 個國家/地區的 25,000 多個感測器捕獲了超過 107 億個資料流，Ambient 的目標是將其產品範圍擴大到包括雜訊和光污染監測。

Ambient Raises $2 Million in Seed Funding for Decentralized Environmental Data Network on Solana

Ambient 為 Solana 上的去中心化環境資料網路籌集了 200 萬美元種子資金

Ambient, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) built on the Solana blockchain, has successfully secured $2 million in seed funding to further its mission of collecting and leveraging environmental data.

Ambient 是一個基於 Solana 區塊鏈構建的去中心化實體基礎設施網路 (DePIN)，已成功獲得 200 萬美元的種子資金，以進一步推進其收集和利用環境數據的使命。

The funding round was led by Borderless Capital, with participation from esteemed venture capital firms such as Solana Ventures, Parami Investors, Sonic Boom Ventures, and Primal Capital. The financing structure involved a simple agreement for future equity (SAFE) with token warrants, according to Luca Franchi, Ambient's co-founder and CEO.

此輪融資由 Borderless Capital 領投，Solana Ventures、Parami Investors、Sonic Boom Ventures 和 Primal Capital 等知名創投公司參與其中。 Ambient 聯合創辦人兼執行長 Luca Franchi 表示，融資結構涉及一份帶有代幣認股權證的簡單未來股權協議 (SAFE)。

Acquisition of PlanetWatch Network

收購 PlanetWatch Network

Established in January 2023, Ambient has strategically acquired the network of PlanetWatch, an Algorand-based DePIN project specializing in air quality monitoring. This acquisition prompted Ambient's decision to migrate its operations to the Solana blockchain due to its superior scalability and transaction efficiency.

Ambient 成立於 2023 年 1 月，策略性收購了 PlanetWatch 網絡，PlanetWatch 是一個基於 Algorand 的 DePIN 項目，專門從事空氣品質監測。此次收購促使 Ambient 決定將其業務遷移到 Solana 區塊鏈，因為它具有卓越的可擴展性和交易效率。

PlanetWatch's existing token, PLANETS, will remain on the Algorand blockchain, while Ambient prepares to introduce its own novel token on Solana. "In the coming weeks, we will release a roadmap detailing the launch of our new Solana-based token, along with migration incentives and platform enhancements to fuel Ambient's aspirations," Franchi stated.

PlanetWatch 的現有代幣 PLANETS 將保留在 Algorand 區塊鏈上，而 Ambient 則準備在 Solana 上推出自己的新型代幣。 Franchi 表示：“在未來幾週內，我們將發布路線圖，詳細說明推出基於 Solana 的新代幣，以及遷移激勵措施和平台增強功能，以推動 Ambient 的願望。”

Prior to the official token launch, Ambient intends to deploy on Solana's testnet this summer. The company will also onboard PlanetWatch's air quality sensors and community onto its network in advance of the migration.

在正式代幣發布之前，Ambient 計劃今年夏天在 Solana 的測試網路上部署。該公司還將在遷移之前將 PlanetWatch 的空氣品質感測器和社區連接到其網路。

Harnessing Ambient's Potential

利用環境的潛力

Ambient's primary function revolves around collecting "real-time and localized" environmental data through a network of sensors. This data has the potential to "positively impact global health and well-being, beginning with the air we breathe," said Franchi. Ambient's long-term vision encompasses the expansion into complementary environmental datasets, such as noise and light pollution.

Ambient 的主要功能是透過感測器網路收集「即時和本地化」的環境資料。弗蘭奇說，這些數據有可能「對全球健康和福祉產生積極影響，首先是我們呼吸的空氣」。 Ambient 的長期願景包括擴展到補充環境資料集，例如雜訊和光污染。

Currently, individuals participating in Ambient's network receive PLANETS tokens as compensation for providing data. This reward system will transition to Ambient's own Solana-based token upon its launch. The PLANETS token currently boasts a modest fully diluted valuation of approximately $747,000.

目前，參與 Ambient 網路的個人會收到 PLANETS 代幣作為提供數據的補償。該獎勵系統將在推出後過渡到 Ambient 自己的基於 Solana 的代幣。 PLANETS 代幣目前的完全稀釋後估值約為 747,000 美元。

Ambient asserts that its users have deployed over 25,000 environmental sensors across more than 20 countries, generating data feeds at five-minute intervals, resulting in an impressive 10.7 billion data streams.

Ambient 聲稱其用戶已在 20 多個國家部署了 25,000 多個環境感測器，每五分鐘產生一次資料來源，產生了令人印象深刻的 107 億資料流。

"The top three countries contributing to our sensor deployment are the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands," Franchi noted. "Participants acquire, install, and connect their sensors from a pool of network-certified devices. Sensor costs range from $400 to $2,100, depending on their intended indoor or outdoor use and the air quality parameters they measure."

「對我們的感測器部署貢獻最大的三個國家是美國、德國和荷蘭，」Franchi 指出。 “參與者從網路認證的設備池中獲取、安裝和連接感測器。感測器成本從 400 美元到 2,100 美元不等，具體取決於他們的室內或室外用途以及他們測量的空氣品質參數。”

Ambient's plans include the introduction of a revised sensor storefront alongside the Solana launch, broadening the range of certified hardware to accommodate diverse use cases and price points. To enhance accessibility and reward user participation, the company is also developing a mobile application.

Ambient 的計畫包括在推出 Solana 的同時推出經過修改的感測器店面，擴大經過認證的硬體範圍，以適應不同的用例和價位。為了增強可訪問性並獎勵用戶參與，該公司還在開發行動應用程式。

A Path to Environmental Progress

環境進步之路

This funding represents a significant milestone for Ambient, validating its mission to harness decentralized technologies for environmental monitoring and improvement. As it continues to grow and expand its capabilities, Ambient has the potential to empower individuals, organizations, and governments to make data-driven decisions that promote a healthier and more sustainable future.

這筆資金對 Ambient 來說是一個重要的里程碑，驗證了其利用分散式技術進行環境監測和改善的使命。隨著其能力的不斷發展和擴展，Ambient 有潛力幫助個人、組織和政府做出數據驅動的決策，從而促進更健康、更永續的未來。
