标志筹集了5000万美元，以帮助加密创始人安全启动代币并进行AIRDROPS

标志的投资是在爆炸式启动数量爆炸的时候进行的。随着使用AI和其他工具启动新的加密货币变得更加容易，每周都会创建大约100万个新的加密货币

After Bitcoin, which relies entirely on mining to distribute tokens, the next-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is Ethereum, which uses a proof-of-work consensus mechanism. However, unlike Bitcoin, which is designed to be scarce with a hard cap of 21 million coins, there is no limit on the number of Ether tokens that can be created.

在比特币完全依赖于开采来分发令牌之后，按市值进行的下一批加密货币是以太坊，它使用了工作证明的共识机制。但是，与比特币不同的是，比特币的硬币是2100万个硬币，因此可以创建的醚令牌数量没有限制。

The investment in Sign comes at a time when the number of token launches are exploding. As it becomes easier to launch new cryptocurrencies using AI and other tools, there are about 1 million new cryptocurrencies created each week, according to Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.

标志的投资是在爆炸式启动数量爆炸的时候进行的。据Coinbase首席执行官Brian Armstrong称，随着使用AI和其他工具推出新的加密货币变得更加容易，每周都会创建大约100万个新的加密货币。

Many of these new projects incorporate token airdrops to bolster their reputation and increase liquidity by delivering free tokens to millions of participants who fulfill certain requirements. However, they often draw scrutiny for delivering fewer tokens than promised or being overrun by scalpers using multiple accounts.

这些新项目中的许多项目都结合了代币的空投，以通过向满足某些要求的数百万参与者提供免费令牌来增强其声誉并增加流动性。但是，他们通常会审查比使用多个帐户所承诺或被黄牛击倒的承诺要少的代币。

To combat this, Sign developed TokenTable, which attempts to help founders safely launch their tokens and conduct airdrops by setting clear rules and verifying the identity of each participant. CEO and co-founder Xin Yan says Sign’s revenue grew from $1.7 million in 2023 to $15 million in 2024 because of the growing popularity of token airdrops on the TON blockchain.

为了打击这一问题，可以开发标志的标志，该标志试图通过制定明确的规则并验证每个参与者的身份来帮助创始人安全启动其代币并进行空投。首席执行官兼联合创始人Xin Yan表示，由于代币AirDrops在TON区块链上越来越受欢迎，Sign的收入从2023年的170万美元增加到2024年的1500万美元。

“TON really boosted us because it has so many users. They have so many tokens and the tokens have so many recipients so large-scale AirDrops became the norm,” Yan said.

“ Ton确实提高了我们，因为它有很多用户。他们有很多令牌，令牌有很多接收者，因此大规模的气动变成了常态。” Yan说。

Yan says Sign will use the money raised in this round to expand globally and help governments adopt blockchain technology by implementing on-chain identity verification.

YAN说，标志将利用本轮筹集的资金在全球范围内扩展，并通过实施链链身份验证来帮助政府采用区块链技术。

Other backers that joined in the The Sign funding round include Altos Ventures, HackVC and Amber Ventures.

YZi Labs describes itself as “a venture capital and incubator firm dedicated to fostering innovation and supporting investments across various sectors," though Bloomberg, citing a YZi Labs employee, has referred to the venture as a family office.

Yzi Labs将自己描述为“一家风险投资和孵化器公司，致力于促进创新和支持各个部门的投资”，尽管彭博社援引YZI Labs的雇员的援引Yzi Labs的雇员，但已将这一合资企业称为家庭办公室。

YZi Labs currently manages $10 billion worth of crypto-related assets amassed when it was known as Binance Labs. Since his release, Zhao said he has been focused on investing in AI, biotech and blockchain companies—and Sign represents his first step back into the crypto game.

Yzi Labs目前管理价值100亿美元的加密相关资产，当时它被称为Binance Labs。自发布以来，赵表示，他一直专注于投资于AI，生物技术和区块链公司，并且标志代表了他回到加密游戏的第一步。

Zhao was released from a California prison last September after serving four months for failing to implement proper anti-money laundering protocols at Binance, the largest global crypto exchange that he founded in 2017. Despite his stint in prison, Zhao ranks number 24 on the list of the world’s richest people with an estimated net worth of around $60 billion.

赵因未能在Binance实施适当的反洗钱协议（他是他在2017年成立的最大的全球加密货币交易所）而因未能实施适当的反洗钱方案而服役四个月后于去年9月从加利福尼亚监狱获释。尽管他在监狱中任职。在世界上最富有的人中，估计净资产约为600亿美元。
