Tether推出「超級應用」與科技巨頭競爭，為用戶賦能去中心化

Tether 的技術長 Paolo Ardoino 預計他的新點對點應用程式 Keet 將成為對科技巨頭的挑戰。 Keet 基於 Pear Runtime 構建，消除了伺服器基礎設施並增強了開發人員的自由度。儘管人們對亞洲的興趣日益濃厚，Tether 仍致力於透明度和反犯罪措施，提供 USDT 儲備證明並與執法機構持續合作。儘管如此，Ardoino 強調 Keet 為銀行服務不足的人服務，提供財務自由，符合 Tether 的去中心化使命。

Tether's Ardoino Unveils Decentralized 'Super App' to Challenge Tech Giants

Tether 的 Ardoino 推出去中心化「超級應用」挑戰科技巨頭

In an exclusive interview conducted via Keet, Tether co-founder and CTO Paolo Ardoino unveiled a revolutionary decentralized "super app" that aims to disrupt the dominance of tech behemoths like Meta and Google. Ardoino, a staunch advocate for Bitcoin and financial freedom, believes that this new venture will empower developers and users alike by eliminating the need for expensive server infrastructure.

在 Keet 進行的獨家採訪中，Tether 聯合創始人兼首席技術官 Paolo Ardoino 推出了一款革命性的去中心化“超級應用程式”，旨在顛覆 Meta 和 Google 等科技巨頭的主導地位。 Ardoino 是比特幣和金融自由的堅定倡導者，他相信這項新專案將消除對昂貴的伺服器基礎設施的需求，從而為開發人員和用戶提供支援。

Built upon the innovative Pear Runtime technology, Keet enables peer-to-peer communication, freeing developers from the constraints of centralized servers and allowing them to focus on creating groundbreaking applications. Ardoino emphasized the financial backing of Tether, which generated over US$6 billion in profit in 2022, as a key factor in the development of this innovative platform.

Keet 基於創新的 Pear Runtime 技術構建，支援點對點通信，將開發人員從集中式伺服器的限制中解放出來，讓他們能夠專注於創建突破性的應用程式。 Ardoino 強調，Tether 的財務支持是這項創新平台發展的關鍵因素，該公司在 2022 年創造了超過 60 億美元的利潤。

"Our mission is not about accumulating wealth but about investing in companies that align with our vision of bringing freedom and creating tools that can withstand adversity," Ardoino declared.

阿多伊諾宣稱：“我們的使命不是積累財富，而是投資於那些符合我們帶來自由和創造能夠抵禦逆境的工具的願景的公司。”

Keet, the flagship application utilizing Pear Runtime, embodies this vision. It incorporates end-to-end encryption, ensuring privacy in communication. While IP addresses are visible within chat rooms, messages remain secure and traffic cannot be publicly monitored, ensuring that only intended recipients have access to them.

Keet 是利用 Pear Runtime 的旗艦應用程序，體現了這個願景。它採用端對端加密，確保通訊隱私。雖然 IP 位址在聊天室中可見，但訊息仍然安全，且流量無法被公開監控，從而確保只有目標收件人才能存取它們。

Holepunch CEO Mathias Buus Madsen acknowledged the growing popularity of Keet in Asia, particularly in India and the Hong Kong region, although specific developer statistics could not be shared due to privacy concerns. The app has also embraced cryptocurrency functionality by integrating a Lightning wallet, enabling fast and inexpensive bitcoin transactions. Ardoino expressed the upcoming integration of Tether (USDT) as well.

Holepunch 執行長 Mathias Buus Madsen 承認 Keet 在亞洲越來越受歡迎，特別是在印度和香港地區，儘管出於隱私問題無法分享特定的開發者統計數據。該應用程式還透過整合閃電錢包來支援加密貨幣功能，從而實現快速且廉價的比特幣交易。 Ardoino也表示即將整合Tether（USDT）。

"Bitcoin is an unstoppable currency, and Keet is an unstoppable app. That's why Bitcoin integration was a natural first step," Ardoino explained. "However, USDT will be available soon, likely within the next few months."

「比特幣是一種不可阻擋的貨幣，而 Keet 是一個不可阻擋的應用程式。這就是為什麼比特幣整合是自然的第一步，」Ardoino 解釋道。 “不過，USDT 很快就會推出，可能會在未來幾個月內推出。”

As the crypto market recovers from the 2022 crash, Tether's USDT stablecoin has regained its dominance, surpassing US$100 billion in total market value and currently hovering around US$106 billion, according to CoinGecko. DefiLlama reports that Tether holds a commanding 70% market share in the stablecoin sector, with a total circulation value of US$152 billion.

據 CoinGecko 稱，隨著加密市場從 2022 年的崩盤中復蘇，Tether 的 USDT 穩定幣重新佔據主導地位，總市值超過 1000 億美元，目前徘徊在 1060 億美元左右。 DefiLlama 報告稱，Tether 在穩定幣領域佔據了 70% 的市場份額，總流通價值達 1,520 億美元。

This outsized presence has attracted increased scrutiny, raising questions about the transparency of Tether's reserves. Ardoino stated that Tether has been releasing quarterly attestations of its reserves and plans to publish data in real-time, though a timeline for implementation was not provided. He acknowledged the challenges posed by the FTX collapse, which has made major accounting firms apprehensive about working with significant crypto firms due to reputational concerns.

這種規模龐大的存在引起了越來越多的審查，引發了人們對 Tether 儲備透明度的質疑。 Ardoino 表示，Tether 一直在發布其儲備的季度證明，並計劃即時發布數據，但沒有提供實施時間表。他承認 FTX 崩潰帶來的挑戰，由於聲譽問題，大型會計師事務所對與重要的加密貨幣公司合作感到擔憂。

"FTX has certainly not simplified our situation," Ardoino remarked.

「FTX 當然沒有簡化我們的情況，」Ardoino 說。

Another controversial aspect of Tether has been its alleged involvement in cybercrime. Ardoino vehemently refuted these accusations, highlighting Tether's collaboration with law enforcement agencies in tracking criminals using USDT.

Tether 另一個有爭議的方面是其涉嫌參與網路犯罪。 Ardoino 強烈反駁了這些指控，並強調了 Tether 與執法機構合作追蹤使用 USDT 的犯罪分子。

"Any criminal using Tether must be exceptionally foolish," Ardoino asserted, emphasizing the transparency provided by the public blockchain on which Tether operates.

Ardoino 斷言：「任何使用 Tether 的犯罪分子一定是極其愚蠢的。」他強調了 Tether 運作所在的公共區塊鏈所提供的透明度。

Meanwhile, financial regulators have expressed concerns about the impact of stablecoins on financial stability, particularly regarding capital flight. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority initiated a public consultation in December on stablecoin regulations, requiring issuers to obtain licenses. Ardoino confirmed that Tether is closely monitoring regulatory developments in Hong Kong and is exploring partnerships with local firms to engage the market.

同時，金融監管機構對穩定幣對金融穩定的影響表示擔憂，特別是在資本外逃方面。香港金融管理局去年 12 月就穩定幣監管啟動了公眾諮詢，要求發行人獲得許可證。 Ardoino 證實，Tether 正在密切關注香港的監管發展，並正在探索與當地公司合作參與市場。

When asked whether Keet could potentially facilitate money laundering or destabilize financial systems, Ardoino downplayed the risks.

當被問及基特是否可能促進洗錢或破壞金融體系穩定時，阿多伊諾淡化了這些風險。

"USDT empowers the marginalized, those for whom a bank account and access to mainstream financial services are out of reach," he argued. "Traditional banking institutions have largely ignored their needs."

他表示：“USDT 為那些無法擁有銀行帳戶和無法獲得主流金融服務的邊緣群體提供了幫助。” “傳統銀行機構很大程度上忽視了他們的需求。”

Ardoino emphasized that Keet is driven by an ideological commitment to freedom and privacy. Quoting the Joker in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight," he declared, "It's not about the money; it's about sending a message."

阿多伊諾強調，基特的驅動力是對自由和隱私的意識形態承諾。他引用克里斯托弗·諾蘭（Christopher Nolan）的《黑闇騎士》中的小丑的話說，“這不是錢的問題，而是傳遞信息的問題。”
