Aave 和 Maker 通过新的 DeFi 集成和星际争霸锦标赛消除了不和

Aave 的创始人 Stani Kulechov 和 Maker 及其去中心化稳定币 DAI 的联合创始人 Rune Christensen 并不总是意见一致。

Amid the buzz of a crypto conference in South Korea, the founders behind two influential DeFi protocols, Aave and Maker, took a break for something a bit different: a live Starcraft II tournament.

在韩国一场加密货币会议的喧嚣声中，Aave 和 Maker 这两个颇具影响力的 DeFi 协议背后的创始人休息了一下，做了一些不同的事情：现场星际争霸 II 锦标赛。

Rune Christensen, co-founder of Maker and its decentralized stablecoin DAI, and Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave, haven't always seen eye to eye. But as the Starcraft tournament unfolded, the two crypto OGs bonded over their shared love of gaming.

Maker 及其去中心化稳定币 DAI 的联合创始人 Rune Christensen 和 Aave 创始人 Stani Kulechov 的看法并不总是一致。但随着星际争霸锦标赛的展开，这两位加密货币 OG 因对游戏的共同热爱而结下了不解之缘。

“Stani is my bro,” Christensen told DL News on the sidelines of this year’s Token2049 event in Singapore.

“Stani 是我的兄弟，”Christensen 在今年新加坡 Token2049 活动间隙告诉 DL News。

“We’re DeFi bros,” said Stani in a separate interview.

“我们是 DeFi 兄弟，”斯坦尼在另一次采访中说道。

Some context:

一些背景：

The Aave and Maker communities have clashed over several heated issues.

Aave 和 Maker 社区在几个激烈的问题上发生了冲突。

In April, Maker faced criticism for its risky proposal to acquire $1 billion of Ethena's untested stablecoin. Later, in July, the Aave community alleged that Maker was not fulfilling its obligations in a revenue-sharing agreement between the two protocols.

今年 4 月，Maker 因其收购 10 亿美元 Ethena 未经测试的稳定币的风险提议而受到批评。随后，7 月，Aave 社区声称 Maker 没有履行两个协议之间的收入分享协议中的义务。

At one point, Kulechov even supported a proposal to remove DAI from all Aave markets, a drastic move considering the stablecoin's importance in the lender's operations.

Kulechov 甚至一度支持将 DAI 从所有 Aave 市场中移除的提议，考虑到稳定币在贷方运营中的重要性，这是一项重大举措。

However, tensions eased after Aave reduced the amount of DAI that users could borrow, and the two protocols eventually found common ground on the revenue-sharing agreement.

然而，在 Aave 减少了用户可以借用的 DAI 数量后，紧张局势有所缓解，两个协议最终在收入共享协议上找到了共同点。

Now, both projects are evolving at a crucial juncture in decentralized finance.

现在，这两个项目都处于去中心化金融的关键时刻。

Under the newly launched Avara umbrella, Aave has transformed into a DeFi supermarket, offering loans, a stablecoin, a crypto wallet and a social media network.

在新推出的 Avara 旗下，Aave 已转型为一家 DeFi 超市，提供贷款、稳定币、加密钱包和社交媒体网络。

And Maker, now known as Sky, is introducing a brand new stablecoin. These moves highlight how both projects have emerged from the crypto crackup of 2022 with resilience and a plan.

Maker（现称为 Sky）正在推出一种全新的稳定币。这些举措凸显了这两个项目如何以韧性和计划从 2022 年的加密货币危机中脱颖而出。

While many DeFi projects have floundered amid rug pulls, hacks, and obsolescence, Aave and Maker, er, Sky, have quietly built up businesses that generate something rare in the space — revenue.

尽管许多 DeFi 项目在撤资、黑客攻击和过时中陷入困境，但 Aave 和 Maker，呃，Sky 已经悄悄建立了业务，创造了该领域罕见的东西——收入。

In the last year, Aave recorded $283 million on its top line, and Sky has notched a cool $233 million itself, according to DefiLlama.

据 DefiLlama 称，去年，Aave 的营收为 2.83 亿美元，而 Sky 本身的营收也高达 2.33 亿美元。

So what better time for Kulechov and Christensen to clear the air?

那么对于库列乔夫和克里斯滕森来说，还有什么更好的时间来澄清误会呢？

“We have this DeFi renaissance moment where people are looking back at what’s been built in DeFi and what actually has legs and fundamentals,” said Kulechov.

Kulechov 表示：“我们迎来了 DeFi 的复兴时刻，人们正在回顾 DeFi 中的构建，以及哪些内容实际上具有支撑性和基本面。”

“That’s Aave, and that’s Sky.”

“那是Aave，那是Sky。”

A deeper dive into Aave and Maker:

更深入地了解 Aave 和 Maker：

Born out of the heady days of heavy coin creation in 2017, Aave and Maker both made lasting breakthroughs while many crypto players indulged in the explosion of ICOs.

诞生于 2017 年重磅造币的热潮中，Aave 和 Maker 都取得了持久的突破，而许多加密货币玩家还沉迷于 ICO 的爆炸式增长。

Sky, then called Maker, launched the industry’s first decentralized stablecoin, DAI.

Sky（当时称为 Maker）推出了业界第一个去中心化稳定币 DAI。

Aave, then called EthLend, enabled investors to lend and borrow their cryptocurrencies.

Aave（当时称为 EthLend）使投资者能够借出和借入他们的加密货币。

One brought dollars on the blockchain, the other simple banking.

一个在区块链上带来美元，另一个则简单地进行银行业务。

And from the outset, the two operated in complementary but distinct ways. One of Aave’s very first lending markets was for the DAI stablecoin.

从一开始，两者就以互补但截然不同的方式运作。 Aave 最早的借贷市场之一是 DAI 稳定币。

The duo played critical roles during the DeFi summer in 2020, a period which saw the niche soak up almost $180 billion in investors’ money.

两人在 2020 年 DeFi 夏季期间发挥了关键作用，在此期间，这一利基市场吸收了近 1800 亿美元的投资者资金。

They stayed afloat as summer turned to an icy crypto winter in 2022, and more than 77% of that money fled the DeFi space.

2022 年夏天变成了寒冷的加密冬天，他们仍然维持生计，其中超过 77% 的资金逃离了 DeFi 领域。

But the partnership between Sky and Aave began cooling the following year.

但 Sky 和 ​​Aave 之间的合作关系在次年开始降温。

In May 2023, Sky launched its own lending and borrowing product called Spark Protocol. It even used code from Aave as part of a revenue-sharing agreement both protocols agreed to.

2023 年 5 月，Sky 推出了自己的借贷产品 Spark Protocol。它甚至使用 Aave 的代码作为两个协议都同意的收入分享协议的一部分。

Spark aimed to boost DAI adoption by creating incentives that couldn’t be found elsewhere in the market.

Spark 旨在通过创造市场其他地方无法找到的激励措施来促进 DAI 的采用。

Two months later, Aave struck back.

两个月后，艾夫发起反击。

It launched its very own decentralised stablecoin called GHO in July 2023. Like DAI, GHO was an overcollateralised cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar.

它于 2023 年 7 月推出了自己的去中心化稳定币 GHO。与 DAI 一样，GHO 是一种与美元挂钩的超额抵押加密货币。

Suddenly, Sky and Aave were no longer operating in parallel to one another but colliding.

突然之间，Sky 和 ​​Aave 不再是并行运作，而是相互碰撞。

When the Maker community proposed backing $1 billion in DAI with the untested, high-yield stablecoin by Ethena, the Aave community proposed eradicating all DAI markets.

当 Maker 社区提议用 Ethena 未经测试的高收益稳定币支持 10 亿美元的 DAI 时，Aave 社区提议消除所有 DAI 市场。

“The offboarding process should start immediately in case of a favorable outcome,” Kulechov wrote at the time.

库列乔夫当时写道：“如果有有利的结果，离职流程应该立即开始。”

After an analysis from Chaos Labs outlined the risk and proposed less drastic measures, Aave ultimately kept DAI, and there are still hundreds of millions of DAI sloshing around Aave today.

在 Chaos Labs 分析概述了风险并提出不太严厉的措施后，Aave 最终保留了 DAI，至今仍有数亿 DAI 在 Aave 周围流动。

“It’s about sending a message to the broader space,” said Christensen. “Sky and Aave can figure out how to work together.”

“这是为了向更广阔的空间发送信息，”克里斯滕森说。 “Sky 和 ​​Aave 可以想出如何合作。”

The budding bromance extends beyond the two founders. Aave and Sky announced

这种初露端倪的兄弟情谊不仅限于两位创始人。 Aave 和 Sky 宣布
