世界幣推出專用網路以推動大規模採用

世界幣基金會公佈了在以太坊上推出名為「世界鏈」的專有第 2 層網路的計畫。這個專為人類使用而設計的新區塊鏈將於今年夏天首次亮相。世界鏈以開放、無需許可的治理為特色，優先考慮經過驗證的用戶交易，同時透過零知識證明技術將其匿名化。此外，該網路的目標是透過顯著提高 L2 區塊的 Gas 限制來實現可擴展性。儘管人們對生物辨識資料隱私的擔憂持續存在，但 Worldcoin 認為「人格證明」對於打擊人工智慧使用者濫用行為是必要的。該公司聲稱其營運合法，並已實施透明度和數據處理改進以應對監管審查。

Worldcoin Unveils Dedicated Layer-2 Network for Mass Adoption

世界幣推出專用第 2 層網路以供大規模採用

Worldcoin Foundation has announced plans to launch a novel Layer-2 network on Ethereum, dubbed World Chain. This blockchain, tailored specifically for human users, is set to debut in the summer of this year.

世界幣基金會宣布計劃在以太坊上推出一個新穎的第 2 層網絡，稱為世界鏈。這個專為人類用戶量身定制的區塊鏈將於今年夏天首次亮相。

World Chain is designed to be an open and permissionless network, governed by its community. Unlike other Layer-2 solutions, World Chain will not require users to possess a verified World ID to participate. Instead, "everyone will be able [to] submit transactions," according to the company.

世界鏈被設計為一個開放且無需許可的網絡，由其社區管理。與其他 Layer-2 解決方案不同，World Chain 不要求使用者擁有經過驗證的 World ID 即可參與。相反，“每個人都可以提交交易”，該公司表示。

However, World Chain will prioritize transactions from verified users. Anonymity for these transactions will be ensured through zero-knowledge proof technology. Additionally, Worldcoin will provide verified users with a free gas allowance, claimed via WLD tokens every two weeks. Users can also opt to pay for gas in ETH. Initially, Worldchain intends to cover casual users' gas costs through fees from bots and power users.

不過，World Chain 會優先考慮經過驗證的用戶的交易。這些交易的匿名性將透過零知識證明技術來確保。此外，Worldcoin 將為經過驗證的用戶提供免費 Gas 津貼，每兩週透過 WLD 代幣領取一次。用戶也可以選擇用 ETH 支付 Gas 費。最初，Worldchain 打算透過機器人和高級用戶的費用來支付臨時用戶的 Gas 費用。

Scalability is a primary focus for Worldcoin, which currently accounts for a substantial portion of network activity on OP Mainnet. In light of this growth, Worldcoin emphasizes the need for a "dedicated network" to support its ambitious goal of reaching 1 billion users—100 times its current user base of 10 million.

可擴展性是 Worldcoin 的主要關注點，目前 Worldcoin 佔據了 OP 主網上網絡活動的很大一部分。鑑於這種增長，世界幣強調需要一個「專用網路」來支援其達到 10 億用戶的宏偉目標——是當前 1,000 萬用戶群的 100 倍。

In a separate technical post, Worldcoin outlined its aim of significantly increasing the Layer-2 block gas limit to mitigate current network costs. The company stated:

在另一篇技術文章中，世界幣概述了其顯著提高第 2 層區塊 Gas 限制以降低當前網路成本的目標。該公司表示：

"World Chain is an OP Stack chain that will be heavily targeted for scale. Our immediate goal is to increase the L2 block gas limit by a significant factor."

Combating Bots and Preserving Privacy

「World Chain 是一條 OP Stack 鏈，將重點關注規模。我們的近期目標是大幅提高 L2 區塊的 Gas 限制。」打擊機器人和保護隱私

Worldcoin emphasizes the importance of verification, or "Proof of Personhood," in the face of advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). The company has highlighted the growing challenge of distinguishing between AI users and human users, a problem that can be addressed through user verification.

面對人工智慧 (AI) 的進步，世界幣強調驗證或「人格證明」的重要性。該公司強調了區分人工智慧用戶和人類用戶所面臨的日益嚴峻的挑戰，這個問題可以透過用戶驗證來解決。

While concerns over AI abuse loom large, Worldcoin's approach—which relies heavily on biometric data—has sparked controversy. Regulatory concerns have been raised in various regions, including Spain, Portugal, and most recently, Buenos Aires.

儘管人們對人工智慧濫用的擔憂日益凸顯，但世界幣的方法（嚴重依賴生物識別數據）引發了爭議。西班牙、葡萄牙以及最近的布宜諾斯艾利斯等多個地區都提出了監管擔憂。

Worldcoin has recently asserted the legality of its operations and announced improvements to transparency and data handling, including open-sourcing parts of its project.

世界幣最近聲稱其營運的合法性，並宣布改進透明度和數據處理，包括其專案的開源部分。

Expansion and Growth

擴張與成長

Worldcoin's App has recently surpassed 10 million users, a significant milestone for the project. The company's co-founder has outlined further efforts to enhance platform security.

Worldcoin 的應用程式最近擁有超過 1000 萬用戶，這是該專案的一個重要里程碑。該公司的聯合創始人概述了增強平台安全性的進一步努力。

In response to regulatory scrutiny, Worldcoin has also made its ORB software open-source, demonstrating its commitment to transparency in its biometric data collection process.

為了回應監管審查，Worldcoin 還開源了 ORB 軟體，顯示了其對生物識別資料收集過程透明度的承諾。

Conclusion

結論

World Chain represents a significant step forward for Worldcoin, enabling it to expand its reach and achieve its ambitious goal of mass adoption. By prioritizing human users, providing gas subsidies, and addressing scalability concerns, World Chain aims to create a blockchain that democratizes access to decentralized technologies. However, the project's reliance on biometric data continues to raise privacy concerns that will need to be carefully addressed as Worldcoin expands its footprint.

世界鏈代表了世界幣向前邁出的重要一步，使其能夠擴大其影響範圍並實現其大規模採用的宏偉目標。透過優先考慮人類用戶、提供天然氣補貼並解決可擴展性問題，世界鏈旨在創建一個使去中心化技術的訪問民主化的區塊鏈。然而，該計畫對生物辨識數據的依賴繼續引發隱私問題，隨著世界幣擴大其足跡，需要仔細解決這個問題。
