宙斯網絡：在defi中使用BTC的一種更安全的方法

大多數成功的加密投資者都會同意，在您的數字資產組合中持有大量比特幣總是很好的

Bitcoin is the oldest, most valuable, and most secure cryptocurrency token there is. But while it’s always good to hold a substantial amount of BTC in your digital asset portfolio, doing so comes at a disadvantage because Bitcoin is one of the few digital currencies that can not easily be used to generate yield.

比特幣是最古老，最有價值，最安全的加密貨幣令牌。但是，儘管在您的數字資產組合中持有大量BTC總是很好的，但是這樣做是不利的，因為比特幣是少數幾個不容易用於產生產量的數字貨幣之一。

This is why much of the Bitcoin circulating supply in the market is simply left idle, sitting in the wallets of countless users who do nothing more than hope the price will increase. This is known as “HODL”, and while it could be extremely profitable in the past as Bitcoin made some astonishing gains, most believe those days are long gone.

這就是為什麼市場上許多比特幣循環供應只是閒置的原因，坐落在無數用戶的錢包裡，他們只希望價格上漲。這被稱為“ hodl”，雖然過去可能會非常有利可圖，因為比特幣取得了驚人的收益，但大多數人認為那些日子已經過去了。

With Bitcoin now valued at around $100,000, it’s unlikely to shoot up like it did in the early days of crypto. But that does not mean Bitcoin holders have to be content with just moderate gains.

現在，比特幣的價值約為100,000美元，它不太可能像加密貨幣早期那樣射擊。但這並不意味著比特幣持有人必須僅滿足於中等收益。

In the wonderful world of DeFi, there are ways to put Bitcoin to work. One of the most popular methods is to use Bitcoin to mint wBTC, or “wrapped Bitcoin”, which is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. It’s possible to swap your BTC for wBTC on a 1:1 basis, and then use those wBTC tokens to participate in activities like lending, borrowing, and liquidity provision via various Ethereum-based DeFi platforms.

在Defi的美好世界中，有一些方法可以使比特幣工作。最受歡迎的方法之一是將比特幣用於Mint WBTC或“包裝比特幣”，這是以太坊區塊鏈上的ERC-20令牌。可以以1：1的基礎將BTC換成WBTC，然後使用這些WBTC代幣通過基於以太坊的各種基於以太坊的DEFI平台來參與貸款，借貸和流動性提供等活動。

But although wBTC can be rewarding, it’s not a very good option for those who value the decentralized nature of crypto. The downside to wBTC is that it’s an extremely centralized token. To mint fresh wBTC, it’s necessary to deposit BTC tokens with an intermediary known as BitGo, which acts as a custodian for all of the collateral that backs the wBTC in circulation. This is necessary to prop up the value of wBTC, but it creates an enormous risk, as BitGo has become a high-value target for hackers, keen to extract the billions of dollars in value that live within its wallets.

但是，儘管WBTC可能會很有意義，但對於那些重視加密貨幣的分散性質的人來說，這不是一個很好的選擇。 WBTC的缺點是它是一個極為集中的令牌。對於薄荷新鮮的WBTC，有必要將BTC令牌存放給一個名為BitGo的中介，該中介是所有在流通中支持WBTC的抵押品的託管人。這對於提高WBTC的價值是必不可少的，但是它會帶來巨大的風險，因為Bitgo已成為黑客的高價值目標，熱衷於從其錢包內提取數十億美元的價值。

Admittedly the risk of BitGo being hacked is small, as it has successfully avoided doing so thus far. But just because it has not been hacked yet does not guarantee it is 100% safe in the future. Add to that, there is always the risk that BitGo might misbehave. We know from the earlier episode with the FTX exchange that seemingly reputable crypto companies can and do get up to no good, using their customer’s deposits to make risky investments and so on. While FTX’s founder Sam Bankman-Fried did not intentionally lose his customer’s funds, the fact is that he was extremely reckless and ultimately did exactly that.

誠然，被黑客入侵的風險很小，因為到目前為止，它已經成功地避免了。但是，僅僅因為它尚未被黑客入侵，但並不能保證將來它是100％安全的。除此之外，總是存在Bitgo可能出現的風險。從與FTX交易所的較早情節中，我們知道，看似信譽良好的加密公司可以而且確實沒有好處，使用客戶的存款進行風險投資等等。儘管FTX的創始人Sam Bankman Fried並沒有故意失去客戶的資金，但事實是他非常魯ck，最終做到了這一點。

A Safer Way To Use BTC in DeFi

在defi中使用BTC的一種更安全的方法

Fortunately, there is a much safer way to generate yield on Bitcoin without accepting the risks of centralization. Thanks to advances in Bitcoin’s programmability, BTC holders now have the option to put their capital to work in Solana’s DeFi ecosystem, while avoiding relying on any intermediaries or custodians.

幸運的是，在不接受集中化風險的情況下，有一種更安全的方法來產生比特幣的產量。得益於比特幣的可編程性的進步，BTC持有人現在可以選擇將其資本用於Solana的Defi生態系統，同時避免依靠任何中介機構或託管人。

This is all thanks to a new protocol called Zeus Network, which has created a permissionless gateway that unlocks greater potentials for BTC on the Solana blockchain, where it’s represented as zBTC token. Users can swap their BTC for zBTC, and use it to participate in a DeFi ecosystem that is fast catching up with that of Ethereum.

這全都歸功於一個名為宙斯網絡的新協議，該協議創建了一個無許可的網關，該網關在Solana區塊鏈上解鎖了BTC的更大潛力，在該區塊鏈上它以ZBTC代幣表示。用戶可以將其BTC交換為ZBTC，並使用它來參與迅速追趕以太坊的Defi生態系統。

Zeus has built a pluggable architecture that enables zBTC to leverage the secure foundation of Bitcoin itself while benefiting from the rapid transaction throughput of the Solana blockchain. Having recently validated its first BTC transaction on Solana, Zeus demonstrates the potential to deliver a winning combination, merging the most secure blockchain with the most efficient of them all.

宙斯（Zeus）建立了一個可容納的架構，使ZBTC能夠利用比特幣本身的安全基礎，同時受益於Solana區塊鏈的快速交易吞吐量。宙斯最近驗證了其在Solana上的第一次BTC交易後，展示了提供成功組合的潛力，將最安全的區塊鏈與最有效的所有方面合併了。

The key is Zeus’ APOLLO dApp, which simplifies the process of transferring BTC to Solana. To use it, simply connect your Bitcoin wallet and deposit BTC into the dApp, and it will mint an equivalent number of zBTC tokens. Because the deposit acts as collateral, it means zBTC’s value is always pegged to that of BTC, similar to how wBTC is. However, the difference is that Zeus doesn’t use any custodians. Instead, the tokens are locked up in a smart contract that’s controlled by the Zeus protocols’ network of validators and guardians, meaning a kind of decentralized custody.

關鍵是宙斯的Apollo Dapp，它簡化了將BTC轉移到Solana的過程。要使用它，只需連接您的比特幣錢包並將BTC存放到DAPP中，它就會造成等效數量的ZBTC令牌。由於沉積物充當抵押，這意味著ZBTC的值總是與BTC的值掛鉤，類似於WBTC的價值。但是，不同之處在於宙斯不使用任何保管人。取而代之的是，代幣被鎖定在智能協議網絡控制的驗證者和監護人網絡中，這意味著一種分散的監護權。

The key thing to understand is that no single validator or guardian can access any of the deposit BTC. This can only be done when the network’s participants reach a consensus, and in turn, that can only happen when the rightful owner of the BTC burns the zBTC tokens they originally minted.

要理解的關鍵是，沒有一個驗證者或監護人可以訪問任何存款BTC。這只有在網絡的參與者達成共識時才可以做到，而這又只有在BTC的合法所有者燃燒他們最初鑄造的ZBTC令牌時才能發生。

Zeus created a number of technological innovations to facilitate this system, including something known as “bidirectional hooks”. Meanwhile, the APOLLO dApp acts as a kind of integration layer that makes Solana’s DeFi ecosystem accessible.

宙斯創造了許多技術創新，以促進該系統，包括稱為“雙向鉤子”的東西。同時，Apollo Dapp充當了使Solana的Defi生態系統可訪問的一種集成層。

The way it works is that when a user wants to deposit BTC to mint zBTC, nodes will propose a transaction and submit it to a program state. This creates a programmable signature, and then the nodes relay signed transactions to the Solana network

它的工作方式是，當用戶想要將BTC存入Mint ZBTC時，節點將提出交易並將其提交給程序狀態。這會創建一個可編程簽名，然後節點繼電器簽名交易到Solana Network
