CoinDesk’s Protocol newsletter unpacks the tech behind crypto, one block at a time. This week:

CoinDesk 的协议时事通讯逐一解开加密背后的技术。本星期：

Former President Donald Trump's much-anticipated announcement of a new crypto company, World Liberty Financial, did not disappoint. At least, it didn't disappoint traders on the Polymarket prediction-betting site who had wagered that the project would announce plans to launch a token. The project's team – the Republican candidate's sons Don Jr. and Eric spoke during the X Spaces discussion – was unequivocal that there would be a token, with the ticker WLFI. After a two-hour-plus session that included lots of yuks and crosstalk, however, it was less clear what the company will actually do. The most definitive account came from CoinDesk reporters including Sam Kessler got his hands on a draft white paper revealing that World Liberty Financial might closely reveal a DeFi project called Dough Finance that failed to gain traction and was hacked for $2 million. Both Zak Folkman and Chase Herro, who were responsible for Dough, confirmed their involvement in World Liberty Financial via their appearance on the X Spaces. The lead moderator of the session, Rug Radio's Farokh Sarmad, expressed astonishment that the elder Trump even showed up – given a schedule packed with rallies, debates, stump speeches, golf and an attempted assassination in Florida the previous day. Politico Morning Money called out the "risks Trump is taking by embracing a business venture his sons are launching less than 50 days before the election." Eric Trump said on the session that decentralized finance needed to be easier to use for regular people, noting the extreme difficulties he encountered when "looping Ethereum on Aave," the biggest DeFi lending platform. There wasn't much discussion of the risks of hacks, exploits and single points of failure that serve as the starting point for a lot of foundational conversations about blockchain-project architecture. Eithan Raviv, CEO of Israeli crypto-recovery firm Lionsgate Network, emailed The Protocol to say that "the major security concerns with this project include a lack of transparency, unclear asset protections and heightened cyber risks due to the high-profile individual involved."

前总统唐纳德·特朗普备受期待地宣布成立一家新的加密货币公司 World Liberty Financial，这一消息并没有令人失望。至少，它并没有让 Polymarket 预测投注网站上的交易者失望，他们押注该项目将宣布推出代币的计划。该项目的团队——共和党候选人的儿子小唐和埃里克在 X Spaces 讨论中发言——明确表示将会有一个代币，股票代码为 WLFI。然而，经过两个多小时的会议，其中包括大量的厌恶和相声，人们不太清楚该公司实际上会做什么。最明确的说法来自 CoinDesk 记者，其中 Sam Kessler 拿到了一份白皮书草案，其中透露 World Liberty Financial 可能会密切披露一个名为 Dough Finance 的 DeFi 项目，该项目未能获得关注，并被黑客盗取了 200 万美元。 Dough 的负责人扎克·福克曼 (Zak Folkman) 和蔡斯·赫罗 (Chase Herro) 通过出现在 X Spaces 上证实了他们参与了 World Liberty Financial。会议的首席主持人、Rug Radio 的法罗克·萨尔马德 (Farokh Sarmad) 对老特朗普竟然出现表示惊讶——考虑到前一天的日程安排包括集会、辩论、竞选演讲、高尔夫和佛罗里达州的一次暗杀未遂事件。 《Politico Morning Money》指出，“特朗普在距离大选不到 50 天的时间里接受他的儿子们发起的商业投资，这是冒着风险的。”埃里克·特朗普在会议上表示，去中心化金融需要更容易为普通人使用，并指出他在最大的 DeFi 借贷平台 Aave 上“循环以太坊”时遇到的极端困难。没有太多关于黑客攻击、漏洞利用和单点故障风险的讨论，而这些风险是有关区块链项目架构的许多基础对话的起点。以色列加密货币恢复公司 Lionsgate Network 的首席执行官 Eithan Raviv 在给 The Protocol 的电子邮件中表示，“该项目的主要安全问题包括缺乏透明度、资产保护不明确以及由于涉及的知名人士而导致网络风险加剧。”

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote on X that he will avoid any mentions of those projects that aren't decentralized enough. To merit any ink, they have to at least meet a decentralization threshold known as "Stage 1," under a hierarchy he laid out years ago in a blog post. “Starting next year, I plan to only publicly mention (in blogs, talks, etc) L2s that are stage 1+,” Buterin wrote. “It doesn't matter if I invested, or if you're my friend; stage 1 or bust.”

以太坊联合创始人 Vitalik Buterin 在 X 上写道，他将避免提及那些不够去中心化的项目。为了获得任何墨水，他们至少必须满足称为“第一阶段”的去中心化门槛，这是他多年前在一篇博客文章中提出的层次结构。 “从明年开始，我计划只公开提及（在博客、演讲等中）处于 1+ 阶段的 L2，”Buterin 写道。 “无论我是否投资，或者你是否是我的朋友，都没关系；第一阶段或萧条。”

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed suit against three individuals and five companies for allegedly operating pig butchering scams – a type of confidence-enabled investment scam in which fraudsters befriend victims over text-based social media apps, gain their trust and convince them to invest large amounts of money in fictitious crypto platforms before stealing their funds and disappearing. Separately, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) announced sanctions against one of Cambodia’s wealthiest businessmen for allegedly playing a role in serious human rights abuses – including human trafficking and torture – tied to a pig butchering scam operation headquartered in the Southeast Asian country.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 已对三名个人和五家公司提起诉讼，指控他们涉嫌经营生猪屠宰骗局，这是一种以信任为基础的投资骗局，欺诈者通过基于文本的社交媒体应用程序与受害者交朋友，获得他们的信任并说服他们在虚构的加密平台上投入大量资金，然后窃取他们的资金并消失。另外，美国财政部外国资产控制办公室 (OFAC) 宣布对柬埔寨最富有的商人之一实施制裁，因为他涉嫌参与严重侵犯人权的行为，包括人口贩运和酷刑，与总部位于东南部的屠宰生猪诈骗活动有关亚洲国家。

Bhutan, a Himalayan nation with fewer than 1 million people, has accumulated over $780 million in bitcoin, {BTC} "Unlike most governments, Bhutan’s BTC does not come from law enforcement asset seizures, but from Bitcoin mining operations, which have ramped up dramatically since early 2023," according to Arkham, a blockchain-analysis platform.

不丹是一个人口不足 100 万的喜马拉雅国家，已积累了超过 7.8 亿美元的比特币，{BTC}“与大多数政府不同，不丹的 BTC 并非来自执法部门没收的资产，而是来自急剧增加的比特币挖矿业务自 2023 年初以来，”区块链分析平台 Arkham 表示。

Howard Winklevoss, father of the famous crypto twins, is donating $4 million in bitcoin {BTC} in a first-of-its-kind donation to Grove City College, where he developed an interest for sound money and the Austrian school of economics that also later influenced Satoshi. Winklevoss told CoinDesk that he first learned about the principle of sound money at Grove City College while studying under Hans Sennholz, a free-market, Austrian-School economist and professor who had studied under Ludwig von Mises.

著名的加密货币双胞胎之父霍华德·文克莱沃斯 (Howard Winklevoss) 向格罗夫城市学院 (Grove City College) 捐赠了 400 万美元的比特币 (BTC)，这是史无前例的捐赠，他在那里对稳健货币产生了兴趣，而奥地利经济学院也后来影响了中本聪。文克莱沃斯告诉 CoinDesk，他在格罗夫城市学院师从汉斯·森霍尔茨 (Hans Sennholz) 时首次了解了稳健货币的原理。汉斯·森霍尔茨是一位自由市场、奥地利学派经济学家和教授，曾师从路德维希·冯·米塞斯 (Ludwig von Mises)。

It's only been six months since Ethereum, the dominant smart-contract blockchain, had its last major upgrade. But there are so many developer priorities for what to tackle next that there's a growing realization they can't all happen at once.

距离占主导地位的智能合约区块链以太坊上一次重大升级仅过去了六个月。但开发人员接下来要解决的优先事项如此之多，以至于人们越来越意识到这些事情不可能同时发生。

So now, Ethereum developers are considering dividing the highly anticipated Pectra upgrade into two parts.

所以现在，以太坊开发者正在考虑将备受期待的Pectra升级分为两部分。

Pectra was on track to be Ethereum’s biggest hard fork to date. (A hard fork, in this case, is the technical blockchain term for the software upgrade.) But some developers argue that the entire package of new features has become unwieldy, and they have expressed a desire to

Pectra 有望成为以太坊迄今为止最大的硬分叉。 （在这种情况下，硬分叉是软件升级的技术区块链术语。）但一些开发人员认为，整个新功能包已经变得笨拙，他们表示希望
