欧盟数据法案第 30 条通过“互联网终止开关”威胁加密行业

最近颁布的欧盟数据法案第 30 条允许在发生安全漏洞时终止智能合约，对区块链不变性的基本原则构成了潜在威胁。该条款破坏了智能合约的不可侵犯性，可能会抑制欧洲加密货币行业的创新和监管的清晰度。业界需要共同推动第30条的澄清和修订，维护欧洲区块链技术的完整性和未来。如果不能充分解决这些问题，可能会导致资本外逃和创新受阻，从而阻碍充满活力的欧洲区块链行业的增长。

EU Data Act's Article 30 Poses Dire Threat to Crypto Industry

欧盟数据法案第 30 条对加密行业构成可怕威胁

Europe's crypto industry faces an unprecedented assault on its foundational principles with the passage of Article 30 of the Data Act. This draconian measure, which became law on January 11, 2024, threatens to undermine the immutability of blockchain technology and, by extension, the free flow of information and expression.

随着《数据法》第 30 条的通过，欧洲加密货币行业的基本原则面临着前所未有的攻击。这项严厉措施于 2024 年 1 月 11 日成为法律，有可能破坏区块链技术的不变性，进而破坏信息和表达的自由流动。

The Specter of an Internet Kill Switch

互联网终止开关的幽灵

The specter of an "internet kill switch" has long haunted conspiracy theorists, who fear that governments may possess the power to shut down the internet at will, effectively silencing dissent and suppressing the truth. While the internet has remained resilient to such drastic measures, the Data Act's Article 30 brings this dystopian nightmare closer to reality, albeit in a targeted fashion.

“互联网杀手开关”的幽灵长期以来一直困扰着阴谋论者，他们担心政府可能拥有随意关闭互联网的权力，从而有效地压制异议并压制真相。尽管互联网对此类严厉措施仍然具有弹性，但《数据法》第 30 条使这一反乌托邦噩梦更接近现实，尽管是有针对性的。

Immutability: The Bedrock of Blockchain

不变性：区块链的基石

At the heart of blockchain technology lies the principle of immutability, which ensures that the history and data trail of transactions are indelibly etched into the blockchain's fabric. This immutable nature is essential for maintaining trust and transparency in decentralized systems. However, Article 30 undermines this fundamental tenet by introducing the possibility of terminating smart contracts in the event of a security breach.

区块链技术的核心在于不变性原则，它确保交易的历史和数据轨迹不可磨灭地蚀刻到区块链的结构中。这种不可变的性质对于维持去中心化系统的信任和透明度至关重要。然而，第 30 条引入了在发生安全漏洞时终止智能合约的可能性，从而破坏了这一基本原则。

Smart Contracts: The Foundation of Innovation

智能合约：创新的基础

Smart contracts are automated data-sharing agreements that play a pivotal role in the crypto ecosystem. They are explicitly designed to be immutable and uninterrupted, allowing parties to interact trustlessly and securely. Article 30's termination clause effectively negates this fundamental principle, crippling the development and deployment of smart contracts within the European Economic Area (EEA).

智能合约是自动数据共享协议，在加密生态系统中发挥着关键作用。它们被明确设计为不可变和不间断的，允许各方进行不信任且安全的交互。第 30 条的终止条款实际上否定了这一基本原则，削弱了欧洲经济区 (EEA) 内智能合约的开发和部署。

Echoes of Authoritarian Regimes

独裁政权的回声

The consequences of Article 30 are particularly troubling in light of the infamous internet kill switches employed by authoritarian regimes in China, Iran, and Egypt. Such measures have been used to suppress dissent, silence opposition, and rewrite the historical narrative. The European Union, once regarded as a bastion of freedom and democracy, risks emulating these oppressive tactics if Article 30 is not repealed.

鉴于中国、伊朗和埃及的独裁政权所使用的臭名昭著的互联网杀戮开关，第 30 条的后果尤其令人不安。这些措施被用来压制异议、压制反对意见并改写历史叙述。如果不废除第 30 条，曾经被视为自由和民主堡垒的欧盟将面临效仿这些压迫策略的风险。

Data Falsification: A Dangerous Precedent

数据伪造：危险的先例

By granting authorities the power to manipulate, replace, or falsify data on the blockchain, Article 30 opens the door to a dangerous precedent. The internet has become the modern-day repository of knowledge and history, and blockchain technology has the potential to further secure and preserve this digital record. However, if EU authorities can alter the blockchain's history, they can essentially rewrite the truth and undermine the integrity of the internet itself.

第 30 条授予当局操纵、替换或伪造区块链数据的权力，这为危险的先例打开了大门。互联网已成为现代知识和历史的存储库，而区块链技术有潜力进一步保护和保存这些数字记录。然而，如果欧盟当局能够改变区块链的历史，他们基本上就可以重写真相并破坏互联网本身的完整性。

A Call to Action

号召性用语

The European crypto industry has been caught asleep at the wheel as Article 30 marched through the EU legislative process. The time has come for industry leaders, developers, and the broader crypto community to unite and demand that the European Parliament clarify and amend Article 30. The future of blockchain in Europe depends on it.

随着第 30 条通过欧盟立法程序，欧洲加密货币行业陷入了沉睡。现在是行业领导者、开发者和更广泛的加密货币社区团结起来并要求欧洲议会澄清和修改第 30 条的时候了。欧洲区块链的未来取决于此。

Recipe for Stagnation

停滞的秘诀

As it stands, Article 30 will likely have dire consequences for Europe's crypto industry. Capital flight, stagnated innovation, and the demise of a truly European blockchain industry are all potential outcomes. The European Union, once optimistic about its approach to crypto, risks squandering this opportunity if it fails to address the serious concerns raised by Article 30.

按照目前的情况，第 30 条可能会给欧洲的加密货币行业带来可怕的后果。资本外逃、创新停滞以及真正的欧洲区块链行业的消亡都是潜在的结果。欧盟曾经对其加密货币政策持乐观态度，但如果不能解决第 30 条引发的严重担忧，就有可能浪费这个机会。

Redefining "Smart Contracts" and Limiting Scope

重新定义“智能合约”并限制范围

To mitigate the damaging effects of Article 30, regulators must consider several avenues, such as redefining the term "smart contracts" to exclude public blockchains. Additionally, the scope of Article 30 should be limited to enterprises only, exempting software and developers from its onerous provisions.

为了减轻第 30 条的破坏性影响，监管机构必须考虑多种途径，例如重新定义“智能合约”一词以排除公共区块链。此外，第30条的范围应仅限于企业，使软件和开发商免受其繁重规定的约束。

A Shadow Over DeFi

DeFi 的阴影

The implications of Article 30 extend far beyond smart contracts. DeFi, which relies heavily on public blockchains and smart contracts, is particularly vulnerable to its adverse effects. DeFi protocols, which provide financial services without intermediaries, will be severely hampered if the immutability of smart contracts is compromised.

第 30 条的影响远远超出了智能合约的范围。严重依赖公共区块链和智能合约的 DeFi 特别容易受到其不利影响。如果智能合约的不变性受到损害，那么无需中介即可提供金融服务的 DeFi 协议将受到严重阻碍。

The Future of the Internet at Stake

互联网的未来岌岌可危

The internet has become the modern public record, and smart contracts can play a vital role in securing it. However, if the EU authorities are granted the power to alter the blockchain's history, the entire internet becomes susceptible to manipulation and falsification. The implications of this are profound and should not be underestimated.

互联网已成为现代公共记录，智能合约可以在保护互联网安全方面发挥至关重要的作用。然而，如果欧盟当局被授予改变区块链历史的权力，整个互联网就容易受到操纵和伪造。其影响是深远的，不应被低估。
