Polygon Labs首席执行官Marc Boiron说，区块链技术将重塑互联网

Polygon Labs首席执行官Marc Boiron表示，区块链技术不仅仅是财务，而是重塑互联网本身。

Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, envisions a future internet powered by blockchain technology, shifting the paradigm of online interaction and data ownership.

Polygon Labs首席执行官Marc Boiron设想了一个以区块链技术为动力的未来互联网，转移了在线互动和数据所有权的范式。

In an interview on TheStreet Roundtable, Boiron explained how blockchain technology can be used to create a "trustless internet," eliminating the need to trust corporations to store and manage one’s data.

Boiron在对TheStreet圆桌会议的采访中解释了如何使用区块链技术来创建“无信任的互联网”，从而消除了信任公司来存储和管理数据的需求。

“We often say at Polygon that we're building the trustless internet, and that's really our mission,” Boiron said. “The internet typically is one where you trust somebody. You want to use social media on the internet? What are you doing? You're trusting a team that builds a social media application to actually store your data and allow you to access it whenever you want.”

“我们经常在Polygon说我们正在建立无信任的互联网，这确实是我们的使命，” Boiron说。 “互联网通常是您信任某人的互联网。您想在互联网上使用社交媒体吗？你在干什么？您正在信任一个建立社交媒体应用程序以实际存储您的数据并允许您随时访问数据的团队。”

According to Boiron, blockchain technology changes that equation by returning control of data to the individual.

根据Boiron的说法，区块链技术通过将数据控制返回个人而变化。

“What you can do on the trustless internet, meaning on a blockchain, is actually create and store that data yourself,” Boiron continued. “Now, this doesn't mean you're storing it on your computer, you're actually storing it on a blockchain that is accessible at any point in time, where you don't have to trust that it will be kept available by one company.”

Boiron继续说：“您可以在不信任的互联网上做的事情，这意味着在区块链上，实际上是自己创建并存储了数据。” “现在，这并不意味着您将其存储在计算机上，实际上是将其存储在可以在任何时间点可以访问的区块链上存储，在这种区块链上，您不必相信它会由一家公司保存。”

The key difference, he explained, is that users can move their data anywhere they want, without being locked into a single platform.

他解释说，关键区别在于，用户可以将数据移动到他们想要的任何地方，而无需锁定一个平台。

“Instead, what you know is that it is always going to be available, so you can access that data anytime,” he said. “You can move it somewhere else if you want to move it somewhere else, which is fantastic. But you can also actually release just pieces of information and data that you want.”

他说：“相反，您所知道的是它将始终可用，因此您可以随时访问该数据。” “如果您想将其移动到其他地方，这太棒了，可以将其移动到其他地方。但是您实际上也可以仅发布所需的信息和数据。”

And unlike today’s centralized platforms that monetize user data without consent, blockchain enables people to take back control.

与当今未经同意的用户数据获利的集中式平台不同，区块链使人们能够收回控制权。

“By the way, you could also sell that data if you wanted, instead of somebody else selling that data and earning money for you,” Boiron added.

Boiron补充说：“顺便说一句，如果您愿意，您也可以出售该数据，而不是其他人出售该数据并为您赚钱的人。”

Blockchain’s real-world utility

区块链的现实世界实用程序

Boiron challenged the idea that blockchain is only useful for payments, instead framing it as a foundational technology that can reshape industries.

Boiron提出了这样一种观念，即区块链仅对付款有用，而是将其作为可以重塑行业的基础技术构建。

“The best way to frame this is to think about what the internet was intended to do,” he explained. “The original internet is for information. You want to be able to share information, read information, write information. When you think of a blockchain, what you're trying to do is the same thing, but with something that has value inherent in it.”

他解释说：“构架这一点的最佳方法是考虑互联网打算做什么。” “原始互联网是为了信息。您希望能够共享信息，阅读信息，写入信息。当您想到一个区块链时，您要做的是同一件事，但具有固有的价值。”

Bitcoin, he noted, is often treated like digital gold, but its functionality is limited.

他指出，比特币经常被视为数字黄金，但其功能是有限的。

“The only thing you can do with that value is transfer it to somebody else. Well, that's not useful. What if you wanted to lend somebody money without an intermediary? What if you wanted to exchange two different tokens of value? You can do that.”

“您唯一可以使用该值的事情就是将其转移给其他人。好吧，这没有用。如果您想在没有中介的情况下借钱呢？如果您想交换两个不同价值的令牌怎么办？你可以做到。”

Beyond finance, blockchain can be used to verify content authenticity, preventing the spread of AI-generated misinformation.

除了金融外，区块链还可以用来验证内容真实性，从而防止AI生成的错误信息传播。

“The way that I'm going to do that is to say, real pieces of information are actually stored on the blockchain,” Boiron said. “So anything that is not stored on the blockchain might actually not be original content.”

“我要做的就是说，实际信息实际上存储在区块链上，” Boiron说。 “因此，任何未存储在区块链上的东西实际上都不是原始内容。”

He also highlighted blockchain’s potential in agriculture, providing more precise tracking of farm equipment than traditional GPS.

他还强调了区块链在农业方面的潜力，比传统的全科医生更精确地跟踪农场设备。

“Typically, you’d need to rely on a satellite that is often completely wrong and off by six feet or so,” Boiron said. “But with a blockchain, what you can do is actually incentivize people to run devices that allow you to get much closer and give information that is accurate as to one foot.”

“通常，您需要依靠通常是完全错误的卫星，且距离六英尺左右，” Boiron说。 “但是有了一个区块链，您实际上可以激励人们运行设备，使您更加接近并提供对一只脚的准确信息。”
