Block 结束了 TBD Web5 投资比特币挖矿和 Bitkey 自助钱包的计划

TBD 分为两个主要项目：“Web5”，被描述为“互联网的新身份和信任层”，以及 tbDEX

Block Inc (NYSE:SQ) announced in its Quarter 3 Shareholder Letter that it will be winding down TBD, its “Web5” initiative, in order to “invest in our bitcoin mining initiative… and Bitkey, our self-custody wallet for Bitcoin.”

Block Inc（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ）在其第三季度股东信中宣布，它将逐步结束其“Web5”计划 TBD，以便“投资于我们的比特币挖矿计划……以及我们的比特币自助托管钱包 Bitkey”。 ”

Block had announced TBD last year, describing it as two primary projects: “Web5,” which was described as “a new identity and trust layer for the internet,” and tbDEX, which was supposed to be focused on “reimagining global payments and commerce.”

Block 去年宣布了 TBD，将其描述为两个主要项目：“Web5”，被描述为“互联网的新身份和信任层”，以及 tbDEX，该项目应该专注于“重新构想全球支付和商业” ”。

The “Web5” component was yet to be integrated into any significant projects, and the tbDEX project was yet to launch for any transactions.

“Web5”组件尚未集成到任何重要项目中，tbDEX 项目尚未启动任何交易。

Now, Block has announced that both projects will be discontinued in order to allow the firm to focus on other initiatives, which include its bitcoin mining project and Bitkey, a self-custody bitcoin wallet.

现在，Block 宣布将停止这两个项目，以便该公司能够专注于其他举措，其中包括比特币挖矿项目和自助托管比特币钱包 Bitkey。

“We're winding down TBD, a Block initiative that we announced last year to build two projects: Web5 and tbDEX. Both projects were early-stage explorations. Web5 aimed to build a new identity and trust layer for the internet, while tbDEX set out to reimagine global payments and commerce.”, the letter reads.

“我们正在逐步结束 TBD，这是我们去年宣布的一项区块计划，旨在构建两个项目：Web5 和 tbDEX。这两个项目都是早期探索。 Web5 旨在为互联网建立一个新的身份和信任层，而 tbDEX 则致力于重新构想全球支付和商业。”信中写道。

“Over the past few months, our teams have been working hard and made a lot of progress. However, after careful consideration, we've decided to discontinue both projects and fully pivot Block's decentralized technology efforts to support bitcoin.”

“过去几个月，我们的团队一直努力工作，取得了很大进展。然而，经过仔细考虑，我们决定停止这两个项目，并全力支持 Block 的去中心化技术工作以支持比特币。”

“This decision will enable us to invest in our bitcoin mining initiative, which earlier this year announced it had finished development of its own mining chip that it intends to supply to Core Scientific (NASDAQ:CORZ). We also plan to continue developing Bitkey, our multi-signature bitcoin wallet that we launched late last year.”

“这一决定将使我们能够投资我们的比特币挖矿计划，该计划于今年早些时候宣布已经完成了自己的挖矿芯片的开发，并打算向 Core Scientific（纳斯达克股票代码：CORZ）供应。我们还计划继续开发 Bitkey，这是我们去年年底推出的多重签名比特币钱包。”

Block had announced its bitcoin mining initiative earlier this year, announcing that it had finished development of its own mining chip, which it intended to supply to Core Scientific, one of the largest bitcoin miners in the United States.

Block 今年早些时候宣布了比特币挖矿计划，并宣布已经完成了自己的挖矿芯片的开发，并打算将其供应给美国最大的比特币矿商之一 Core Scientific。

The firm had announced plans to supply Core Scientific with approximately 15 exahashes/second of hashing power, which would represent approximately 70% of the approximately 21.8 exahasses/second that Core Scientific reported in its most recent investor update.

该公司已宣布计划向 Core Scientific 提供约 15 exahasses/秒的算力，这相当于 Core Scientific 在最新投资者更新中报告的约 21.8 exahasses/秒的约 70%。

However, Core Scientific has not substantially deployed Block's chip, noting, “substantially all of the miners we own and host were manufactured by Bitmain.”

然而，Core Scientific 尚未大规模部署 Block 的芯片，并指出，“我们拥有和托管的所有矿机基本上都是由比特大陆制造的。”

Meanwhile, BitKey, which was launched at the end of last year, is a multi-signature bitcoin wallet that integrates a hardware wallet and cloud recovery options. It is currently available for download on both iOS and Android devices.

与此同时，去年年底推出的BitKey是一款集成了硬件钱包和云恢复选项的多重签名比特币钱包。目前可以在 iOS 和 Android 设备上下载。

Currently, the revenue for all these different projects is rolled into the “Corporate and Other” category on the filings with music streaming service TIDAL and this segment reported approximately $44 million in revenue for the last quarter, driven almost exclusively by subscriptions, presumably to TIDAL.

目前，所有这些不同项目的收入均归入音乐流媒体服务 TIDAL 备案的“企业及其他”类别，该部门上一季度的收入约为 4400 万美元，几乎完全由订阅推动，大概是 TIDAL 。
