以隐私为中心的第2层将改变以太坊的企业未来

区块链行业处于十字路口。尽管该行业在开发扩展解决方案方面取得了重大进展，但基本挑战仍然没有解决：需要可编程的隐私。

The blockchain industry has made significant headway in developing scaling solutions, but a fundamental challenge remains unaddressed: the need for programmable privacy.

区块链行业在开发扩展解决方案方面取得了重大进展，但基本挑战仍然没有解决：需要可编程的隐私。

The enforced transparency of blockchains prevents their adoption in cases where user privacy is paramount, including real-world assets, supply chain management, and distributed identity protocols.

在用户隐私是最重要的情况下，包括现实世界资产，供应链管理和分布式身份协议在内的情况下，区块链的强制透明性可阻止其采用。

In order for blockchain to be adopted into mainstream use, the industry has to prioritize programmable privacy—a requirement essential for institutional users.

为了将区块链用于主流使用，该行业必须优先考虑可编程隐私，这对于机构用户来说是必不可少的。

The next generation of Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) solutions emphasizes this crucial aspect. Through innovations in zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography, privacy-focused L2s are positioned to bridge the gap between public blockchain benefits and institutional privacy demands.

下一代以太坊2（L2）解决方案强调了这一关键方面。通过零知识（ZK）密码学的创新，以隐私为中心的L2可以弥合公共区块链利益与机构隐私需求之间的差距。

Privacy: The missing piece to scaling Ethereum

隐私：缩放以太坊的缺失作品

Blockchain’s enforced transparency creates a significant limitation. To validate the ledger’s correctness and ensure no fraudulent activities occur, users must be able to verify all transactions occurring on the network.

区块链的强制透明度产生了重大限制。为了验证分类帐的正确性并确保不进行欺诈活动，用户必须能够验证网络上发生的所有交易。

This transparency becomes problematic when connecting blockchain with real-world assets and identities.

将区块链与实际资产和身份联系起来时，这种透明度就会变得有问题。

Currently, linking real-world identities to cryptocurrency accounts requires either broadcasting personal information onchain or relying on data custodians as trusted intermediaries.

当前，将现实世界的身份与加密货币帐户联系起来需要将个人信息播放OnChain或依靠数据保管人作为受信任的中介机构。

The first option proves unworkable for most use cases—imagine if every ATM transaction broadcast account balances publicly, or if all online purchases could be viewed by anyone, including mortgage payments, credit card debts, and late billing fees.

对于大多数用例，第一种选择是不可行的 - 想象一下，如果每个ATM交易广播帐户公开均衡，或者如果任何人都可以查看所有在线购买，包括抵押贷款付款，信用卡债务和较晚的账单费。

While data custodians may seem attractive, they break blockchain’s fundamental value proposition: composability — the ability of smart contracts, protocols, and dApps to seamlessly interact.

尽管数据保管人似乎很有吸引力，但它们打破了区块链的基本价值主张：合成性 - 智能合约，协议和DAPP无缝交互的能力。

This composability achieves efficiency gains similar to vertical integration in traditional industries, acting as a force multiplier for smaller companies. It allows these companies to integrate services they would otherwise need to develop internally or access at a premium from third parties.

这种合成性实现了与传统行业中垂直整合相似的效率，它是较小公司的力量乘数。它允许这些公司集成他们本来需要内部开发或以第三方溢价访问的服务。

Data custodians fundamentally disrupt this model. When an application relies on a data custodian, any third-party application seeking to integrate must first interact with these custodians, creating permission barriers that may prove insurmountable.

数据保管人从根本上破坏了这一模型。当申请依赖数据保管人时，任何寻求集成的第三方申请都必须首先与这些托管人互动，从而创建可能无法克服的许可障碍。

This mirrors the theoretical scenario of needing to ask for permission from the Ethereum Foundation just to deploy smart contracts—a situation that would have severely limited Ethereum’s success.

这反映了需要向以太坊基金会征求​​智能合约的允许的理论情况，这种情况将严重限制以太坊的成功。

Zero-knowledge cryptography: A game-changer for private transactions

零知识密码学：改变私人交易的游戏规则

Privacy-first L2 architecture, powered by zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology, enables transaction verification while maintaining complete privacy of sensitive business information.

由零知识证明（ZKP）技术提供支持的隐私优先型L2体系结构，在维护敏感业务信息的完整隐私的同时，可以进行交易验证。

ZKPs allow validation and execution of transactions at scale while keeping sensitive business details entirely private.

ZKP允许按大规模验证和执行交易，同时将敏感业务详细信息完全私密。

ZKPs set themselves apart from traditional privacy solutions by establishing verifiable privacy without sacrificing scalability, providing mathematically secure privacy for applications including payments, identity verification, and compliance.

ZKP通过在不牺牲可伸缩性的情况下建立可验证的隐私，为数学上的隐私提供了包括付款，身份验证和合规性在内的数学上的隐私，从而使自己与传统隐私解决方案区分开来。

Unlike earlier approaches to blockchain privacy that hindered functionality, ZKPs make blockchain technology ideal for institutional use cases, protecting sensitive data without compromising speed or usability.

与较早的区块链隐私方法阻碍功能的方法不同，ZKPS使区块链技术非常适合机构用例，保护敏感数据而不会损害速度或可用性。

When combined with tools that lower technical barriers to adoption, developers can utilize ZK without domain expertise. Through universal programming languages for ZK applications, it is easy for developers to integrate privacy-preserving technologies into applications.

当结合降低采用技术障碍的工具时，开发人员可以使用ZK而没有领域专业知识。通过用于ZK应用程序的通用编程语言，开发人员很容易将保护隐私技术集成到应用程序中。

Since Ethereum’s launch, the vision has been to provide traditional financial services in a user-focused manner, minimizing intermediaries and creating an open, competitive environment.

自以太坊发布以来，愿景一直是以用户为中心的方式提供传统的金融服务，最大程度地减少中介机构并创造开放的竞争环境。

What was missing for legacy industries like healthcare, finance, and supply chain management was programmable privacy—the critical ingredient for institutional adoption.

医疗保健，金融和供应链管理等传统行业缺少的是可编程的隐私，这是机构采用的关键要素。

Institutional adoption: Bringing blockchain to enterprise use cases

机构采用：将区块链带到企业用例

With the use of ZKPs, data protection requirements and regulatory compliance become deeply complementary.

随着ZKP的使用，数据保护要求和法规合规性变得非常互补。

With the ability to store encrypted sensitive information on-chain that users can query and validate, privacy-focused L2s can host transaction networks where transactions can only occur if participants are compliant. This can result in substantially more secure environments than traditional finance, where compliance is retro-active and has a legendarily poor track record of catching bad behaviour.

有了能够在用户可以查询和验证的链子上存储加密的敏感信息，以隐私为中心的L2可以托管交易网络，只有在参与者合规的情况下才能发生交易。这可能会导致比传统财务更加安全的环境，在这种财务上，合规性是恢复活跃的，并且在捕捉不良行为方面的记录范围很差。

A privacy-focused L2 can also deploy miniature isolated networks within the L2, ensuring that proprietary smart contracts are only visible to permissioned entities.

以隐私为中心的L2还可以在L2中部署微型隔离网络，以确保只有许可实体才能看到专有的智能合约。

While not ideal as a pattern for the wider ecosystem, this does enable institutions to deploy sensitive code that comes with licensing restrictions, such as proprietary trade-matching algorithms.

虽然不是更广泛的生态系统模式的理想，但这确实使机构能够部署许可限制（例如专有协商算法）附带的敏感代码。

By enabling private transactions, L2 solutions eliminate risks tied to open-source code, allowing institutions access to the benefits of blockchain while minimizing downsides.

通过启用私人交易，L2解决方案消除了与开源代码相关的风险，从而使机构可以访问区块链的好处，同时最大程度地减少弊端。

Privacy-focused L2 architecture offers a true bridge to broader institutional adoption, establishing the Web3 space as a meaningful foundation for enterprise solutions and providing access to sectors that demand the highest levels of privacy and compliance.

以隐私为中心的L2 Architecture为更广泛的机构采用提供了真正的桥梁，将Web3空间确立为企业解决方案的有意义的基础，并提供对需要最高级别隐私和合规性的行业的访问权限。

Looking to the future

展望未来

As Ethereum’s capabilities evolve, privacy-focused L2s are leading the way for broader institutional adoption across finance, identity, and beyond.

随着以太坊的能力的发展，以隐私为中心的L2在财务，身份和其他地区进行更广泛的制度采用方面。

By prioritizing both privacy and scalability, these solutions transform blockchain into a viable option for institutions, allowing traditional systems to bridge with decentralized systems while upholding both user privacy and regulatory standards.

通过优先考虑隐私性和可扩展性，这些解决方案将区块链转换为机构的可行选择，从而使传统系统能够使用分散的系统桥接，同时维护用户隐私和监管标准。
