Balaji Srinivasan 揭示了以太坊革命的大胆想法

Srinivasan 表示 Zethereum 将充当“新的合法龙卷风现金”，并引用了最近法院的裁决，该裁决认为基于以太坊的隐私

Former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan has proposed a bold new concept called “Zethereum,” which he believes has the potential to revolutionize Ethereum by adding advanced privacy features. In a recent discussion on X, Srinivasan shared his ideas on how a pseudonymous developer, referred to as “Zatoshi,” could achieve this through smart contracts that incorporate zero-knowledge (ZK) technology. While the concept draws inspiration from Bitcoin's Satoshi, Srinivasan highlighted how the network dynamics will differ significantly.

Coinbase 前首席技术官 Balaji Srinivasan 提出了一个名为“Zethereum”的大胆新概念，他认为该概念有潜力通过添加先进的隐私功能来彻底改变以太坊。在最近关于 X 的讨论中，Srinivasan 分享了他的想法，即被称为“Zatoshi”的匿名开发人员如何通过采用零知识 (ZK) 技术的智能合约来实现这一目标。虽然这个概念的灵感来自比特币的中本聪，但斯里尼瓦桑强调了网络动态将如何显着不同。

Balaji Srinivasan Outlines Ambitious Plan to Integrate ZK Privacy into Ethereum

Balaji Srinivasan 概述了将 ZK 隐私集成到以太坊的雄心勃勃的计划

In his proposal, Srinivasan suggests that Zethereum would essentially function as a “newly legal Tornado Cash,” following a recent court ruling that deemed the Ethereum-based privacy tool not unlawful. Describing Zethereum as the “APIs for all the zero-knowledge (ZK) innovation over the last few years,” he argues that implementing ZK privacy as smart contracts, rather than at the base layer, would enable rapid deployment while minimizing risks for the Ethereum network.

在他的提案中，Srinivasan 表示，在最近的法院裁决认为基于以太坊的隐私工具并不违法之后，Zethereum 本质上将充当“新合法的龙卷风现金”。他将 Zethereum 描述为“过去几年所有零知识 (ZK) 创新的 API”，他认为，将 ZK 隐私作为智能合约而不是在基础层实施，将能够实现快速部署，同时最大限度地降低以太坊的风险网络。

“It would be a way to ship much of Justin Drake’s impressive five-year ZK roadmap in three months,” adds Srinivasan, highlighting the potential speed of innovation and adoption with this approach.

Srinivasan 补充道：“这将是在三个月内交付 Justin Drake 令人印象深刻的五年 ZK 路线图的一种方式。”他强调了这种方法的创新和采用的潜在速度。

ZATOSHI AND ZETHEREUM Here’s a bold plan for how one brave engineer could strike a blow for internet freedom while bringing Ethereum all the way back: they just need to go Zatoshi and build Zethereum.

Zatoshi 和 ZETHEREUM 这是一个大胆的计划，讲述了一位勇敢的工程师如何为互联网自由发起冲击，同时让以太坊一路回归：他们只需要去 Zatoshi 并建立 Zethereum。

Anyone who wants to build a Zethereum should still go Zatoshi to do it: meaning full anon, with perfect opsec.

任何想要构建 Zethereum 的人仍然应该去 Zatoshi 去做：这意味着完整的匿名，具有完美的操作安全。

Pardons for Roman Storm and Alexey Pertsev would affirm privacy rights.

赦免罗曼·斯托姆和阿列克谢·佩尔采夫将确认隐私权。

Highlighting the potential risks involved in such an endeavor, Srinivasan emphasizes the need for anonymity on the part of the developer undertaking this task. “Anyone who wants to build a Zethereum should still go Zatoshi to do it: meaning full anon, with perfect opsec,” he notes, also calling for pardons for Roman Storm and Alexey Pertsev, developers linked to Tornado Cash, to affirm privacy rights.

斯里尼瓦桑强调了此类努力所涉及的潜在风险，并强调承担这项任务的开发人员需要匿名。他指出：“任何想要建立 Zethereum 的人仍然应该去 Zatoshi 去做：这意味着完全匿名，拥有完美的操作安全。”他还呼吁赦免与 Tornado Cash 相关的开发者 Roman Storm 和 Alexey Pertsev，以确认隐私权。

When asked about the possibility of integrating Zethereum with other blockchains, such as Bitcoin, Solana, or Base, to further enhance privacy, Srinivasan provides a nuanced perspective, explaining why each blockchain may or may not be suitable for the task at hand.

当被问及将 Zethereum 与其他区块链（例如比特币、Solana 或 Base）集成以进一步增强隐私的可能性时，Srinivasan 提供了细致入微的观点，解释了为什么每个区块链可能适合也可能不适合手头的任务。

“Why not Bitcoin? The base layer is essentially immutable at this point,” he begins, referring to Bitcoin. “And the BTC community is more focused on political innovation than technical innovation.” Moving on to Solana and Base, he adds, “Non-anon dev teams make them less suited for a privacy project.”

“为什么不是比特币？在这一点上，基础层本质上是不可变的，”他开始说道，指的是比特币。 “比特币社区更关注政治创新，而不是技术创新。”接下来是 Solana 和 Base，他补充道，“非匿名开发团队使他们不太适合隐私项目。”

Despite acknowledging the existence of other privacy and ZK scaling projects, such as Zcash and ZKsync, Srinivasan highlights Ethereum’s distribution as being crucial for mainstream adoption. “Adding easy privacy to Ethereum would mainstream Zcash’s ideas,” he argues.

尽管承认存在其他隐私和 ZK 扩展项目，例如 Zcash 和 ZKsync，Srinivasan 强调以太坊的分布对于主流采用至关重要。 “为以太坊添加简单的隐私将使 Zcash 的想法主流化，”他认为。

In his concluding remarks, Srinivasan positions the idea of Zethereum as being particularly timely in light of recent legal and political developments, adding, “If Tornado Cash is legal, you could first anonymously enable any Ethereum wallet to send Zcash-grade private transactions,” before outlining a roadmap for integrating ZK innovations into Ether.

在他的总结发言中，Srinivasan 将 Zethereum 的想法定位为鉴于最近的法律和政治发展而特别及时，并补充道，“如果 Tornado Cash 是合法的，你可以首先匿名地允许任何以太坊钱包发送 Zcash 级私人交易。”在概述将 ZK 创新集成到 Ether 中的路线图之前。
