在今年的比特币 2024 会议上,我多次被问到这一刻的亮点是什么——噪音中的信号是什么
Despite being a major topic of conversation at Bitcoin 2024, I found myself struggling to pinpoint the standout moment of the conference. The sheer volume of activity made it difficult to keep up, and my role in supporting the event left me with little time to fully engage with the broader happenings. However, upon reflection, one presence that quietly stole the show was the Lightning Network.
尽管这是 Bitcoin 2024 的一个主要话题,但我发现自己很难确定这次会议的亮点时刻。活动量之大让我很难跟上,而我在支持活动中的角色让我几乎没有时间充分参与更广泛的活动。然而,经过反思,闪电网络悄然抢尽了风头。
While its absence from the headlines might have concerned some, this felt different. Lightning has not only arrived but has matured beyond what any other scaling layer can claim. Largely unnoticed by the casual conference goer, the payment protocol has stealthily inserted itself into every piece of major Bitcoin infrastructure.
虽然它没有出现在头条新闻中可能会让一些人感到担忧,但这感觉有所不同。闪电网络不仅已经到来,而且已经成熟到超出任何其他扩展层所能声称的程度。支付协议已经悄悄地融入到主要比特币基础设施的每一个部分,而大多数参加会议的人基本上没有注意到。
Most of the world's leading exchanges now support Lightning, with some running the largest nodes on the network. Its dollar-denominated capacity is at an all-time high and every operator I spoke with this week confirmed its rapidly improving reliability.
世界上大多数领先的交易所现在都支持闪电网络,其中一些交易所运行网络上最大的节点。其以美元计价的容量处于历史最高水平,本周与我交谈的每个运营商都证实其可靠性正在迅速提高。
A recurring narrative during the event highlighted the protocol’s promises as a settlement network. Initially promoted as a retail payment solution, Lightning’s latest and biggest headways might be among businesses and institutions looking to satisfy liquidity needs. The vision, popularized notably by Jack Mallers at Strike, feels more concrete than ever, with infrastructure company Lightspark now at the forefront of these accomplishments.
活动期间反复出现的叙述强调了该协议作为结算网络的承诺。闪电网络最初是作为零售支付解决方案推广的,其最新和最大的进展可能是在寻求满足流动性需求的企业和机构中。这一愿景尤其由 Strike 的 Jack Mallers 推广,感觉比以往任何时候都更加具体,基础设施公司 Lightspark 现在处于这些成就的最前沿。
Last Thursday, on the Nakamoto stage, Lightspark’s co-founder Christian Catalini argued for Lightning’s favorable position as a bridge between companies and various financial institutions.
上周四,在 Nakamoto 的舞台上,Lightspark 的联合创始人 Christian Catalini 主张闪电网络作为公司和各种金融机构之间的桥梁的有利地位。
“If you think about the challenge of moving value not just between a few countries but two hundred or more countries, every day, 24/7, with deep liquidity. There is only one asset, and that asset is bitcoin. It has regulatory clarity, it has on and off-ramps in pretty much every country around the globe. Now we can connect it all in an open way.”
“如果你想一想,不仅在几个国家之间,而且在 200 多个国家之间,每天 24/7,通过深度流动性转移价值所面临的挑战。只有一种资产,这种资产就是比特币。它具有明确的监管规定,在全球几乎每个国家都有入口和出口。现在我们可以以开放的方式将这一切连接起来。”
Lightspark's recent announcement of its partnership with Latin America's banking giant Nubank clearly outlines the potential for existing firms to modernize their infrastructure using the Lightning network.
Lightspark 最近宣布与拉丁美洲银行巨头 Nubank 建立合作伙伴关系,明确概述了现有公司利用闪电网络实现基础设施现代化的潜力。
Further strengthening the case of Lightning as a rail to connect the global economy, last week's release of Lightning Labs’ Taproot Asset protocol introduces yet another opportunity for the scaling layer to establish itself as the dominant value transfer protocol on the internet. Before Lightning can come for VISA, it might have to start by displacing SWIFT.
上周闪电实验室发布的 Taproot Asset 协议进一步强化了闪电网络作为连接全球经济的轨道的作用,为扩展层提供了另一个机会,使其成为互联网上占主导地位的价值传输协议。在闪电网络取代 VISA 之前,它可能必须首先取代 SWIFT。
On the payment front, the talk of the town in Nashville was the improvement in user experience brought about by the arrival of features like BOLT12.
在支付方面,纳什维尔的热门话题是 BOLT12 等功能的到来带来的用户体验的改善。
Years in the making, the payment protocol offers an intuitive way for users to receive Lightning payments without relying on unreliable, expiring invoices. It also paves a promising path toward improving users’ ability to receive payments offline, a major pain point of current implementations.
经过多年的开发,该支付协议为用户提供了一种直观的方式来接收闪电付款,而无需依赖不可靠、过期的发票。它还为提高用户离线接收付款的能力铺平了一条有希望的道路,这是当前实施的一个主要痛点。
BOLT12 achieves this through static, reusable offers that do not compromise receiver privacy. Combined with other innovations like DNS payment instructions, it is now possible to create human-readable Bitcoin addresses (e.g., alex@twelve.cash) that support different payment formats. Imagine using a single identifier to receive on-chain and Lightning payments regardless of your preferred standards. Twelve.cash, a standout project from this year’s conference hackathon, did a remarkable job in this direction, aiming to provide “a simple way to share your bitcoin payment info with the world.”
BOLT12 通过静态、可重复使用的优惠来实现这一目标,且不会损害接收者的隐私。结合 DNS 支付指令等其他创新,现在可以创建支持不同支付格式的人类可读的比特币地址(例如 alex@twelve.cash)。想象一下,无论您首选的标准如何,都使用单个标识符来接收链上和闪电付款。 Twelve.cash 是今年会议黑客马拉松的一个杰出项目,它在这个方向上做得非常出色,旨在提供“一种与世界分享比特币支付信息的简单方法”。
Other forms of human-readable addresses have existed for some time using the LNURL format but the hope is for users to converge on more mature solutions. Long-time Lightning infrastructure provider Amboss also announced during the event a new Lightning wallet supporting a novel, multi-asset payment system they’ve called “MIBAN”.
使用 LNURL 格式的其他形式的人类可读地址已经存在了一段时间,但希望用户能够集中在更成熟的解决方案上。长期的闪电基础设施提供商 Amboss 还在活动期间宣布了一款新的闪电钱包,支持他们称之为“MIBAN”的新型多资产支付系统。
Fragmentation between standards and compatibility issues is anticipated in open and permissionless financial systems. Lightning is further than any alternative in terms of optimizing around these interoperability challenges to ensure seamless payment experiences.
在开放和无需许可的金融系统中,预计会出现标准和兼容性问题之间的碎片化。在围绕这些互操作性挑战进行优化以确保无缝支付体验方面,闪电网络比任何替代方案都更进一步。
BOLT12 is currently supported by leading wallets like Phoenix and ZEUS, and could land on the Strike app soon. Following Bitcoin Park’s Lightning Summit around the same time last year, I remember feeling pretty disillusioned about the prospects of consumer Lightning apps. What a difference a year makes.
BOLT12 目前已获得 Phoenix 和 ZEUS 等领先钱包的支持,并可能很快登陆 Strike 应用程序。去年大约同一时间,在比特币公园的闪电峰会之后,我记得对消费者闪电应用程序的前景感到非常失望。一年的变化有多大啊。
While a fully non-custodial experience might always command a premium, new optimizations and different security models are emerging that can meet retail users where they are.
虽然完全非托管体验可能总是需要溢价,但新的优化和不同的安全模型正在出现,可以满足零售用户的需求。
This progress, at every level, would not be possible without the momentous efforts that have gone into infrastructure work over the last couple of years.
如果没有过去几年在基础设施建设方面做出的巨大努力,就不可能在各个层面取得这一进展。
Lightspark, which supports Lightning integration for other industry giants like Coinbase and Bitso, is powered by Spiral’s Lightning Development Kit (LDK). Recently announced Alby Hub is also the first production wallet deployed using the LDK node library. Keep in mind LDK has been in the works for almost four years now. Good things take time. Many people I spoke to during the conference expect the scope and quality of projects to be deployed using this toolkit to significantly accelerate.
Lightspark 由 Spiral 的闪电开发套件 (LDK) 提供支持,支持 Coinbase 和 Bitso 等其他行业巨头的闪电集成。最近发布的 Alby Hub 也是第一个使用 LDK 节点库部署的生产钱包。请记住,LDK 的研发工作已经近四年了。好东西需要时间。我在会议期间采访过的许多人都希望使用此工具包部署的项目的范围和质量能够显着加快。
Another signal of the evolving Lightning infrastructure came from the release during the week of Bree
