Tether推出“超级应用”与科技巨头竞争，为用户赋能去中心化

Tether 的首席技术官 Paolo Ardoino 预计他的新点对点应用程序 Keet 将成为对科技巨头的挑战。 Keet 基于 Pear Runtime 构建，消除了服务器基础设施并增强了开发人员的自由度。尽管人们对亚洲的兴趣日益浓厚，Tether 仍然致力于透明度和反犯罪措施，提供 USDT 储备证明并与执法机构持续合作。尽管如此，Ardoino 强调 Keet 为银行服务不足的人服务，提供财务自由，符合 Tether 的去中心化使命。

Tether's Ardoino Unveils Decentralized 'Super App' to Challenge Tech Giants

Tether 的 Ardoino 推出去中心化“超级应用”挑战科技巨头

In an exclusive interview conducted via Keet, Tether co-founder and CTO Paolo Ardoino unveiled a revolutionary decentralized "super app" that aims to disrupt the dominance of tech behemoths like Meta and Google. Ardoino, a staunch advocate for Bitcoin and financial freedom, believes that this new venture will empower developers and users alike by eliminating the need for expensive server infrastructure.

在 Keet 进行的独家采访中，Tether 联合创始人兼首席技术官 Paolo Ardoino 推出了一款革命性的去中心化“超级应用程序”，旨在颠覆 Meta 和 Google 等科技巨头的主导地位。 Ardoino 是比特币和金融自由的坚定倡导者，他相信这一新项目将消除对昂贵的服务器基础设施的需求，从而为开发人员和用户提供支持。

Built upon the innovative Pear Runtime technology, Keet enables peer-to-peer communication, freeing developers from the constraints of centralized servers and allowing them to focus on creating groundbreaking applications. Ardoino emphasized the financial backing of Tether, which generated over US$6 billion in profit in 2022, as a key factor in the development of this innovative platform.

Keet 基于创新的 Pear Runtime 技术构建，支持点对点通信，将开发人员从集中式服务器的限制中解放出来，让他们能够专注于创建突破性的应用程序。 Ardoino 强调，Tether 的财务支持是这一创新平台发展的关键因素，该公司在 2022 年创造了超过 60 亿美元的利润。

"Our mission is not about accumulating wealth but about investing in companies that align with our vision of bringing freedom and creating tools that can withstand adversity," Ardoino declared.

阿多伊诺宣称：“我们的使命不是积累财富，而是投资于那些符合我们带来自由和创造能够抵御逆境的工具的愿景的公司。”

Keet, the flagship application utilizing Pear Runtime, embodies this vision. It incorporates end-to-end encryption, ensuring privacy in communication. While IP addresses are visible within chat rooms, messages remain secure and traffic cannot be publicly monitored, ensuring that only intended recipients have access to them.

Keet 是利用 Pear Runtime 的旗舰应用程序，体现了这一愿景。它采用端到端加密，确保通信隐私。虽然 IP 地址在聊天室中可见，但消息仍然安全，且流量无法被公开监控，从而确保只有目标收件人才能访问它们。

Holepunch CEO Mathias Buus Madsen acknowledged the growing popularity of Keet in Asia, particularly in India and the Hong Kong region, although specific developer statistics could not be shared due to privacy concerns. The app has also embraced cryptocurrency functionality by integrating a Lightning wallet, enabling fast and inexpensive bitcoin transactions. Ardoino expressed the upcoming integration of Tether (USDT) as well.

Holepunch 首席执行官 Mathias Buus Madsen 承认 Keet 在亚洲越来越受欢迎，特别是在印度和香港地区，尽管出于隐私问题无法分享具体的开发者统计数据。该应用程序还通过集成闪电钱包来支持加密货币功能，从而实现快速且廉价的比特币交易。 Ardoino还表示即将整合Tether（USDT）。

"Bitcoin is an unstoppable currency, and Keet is an unstoppable app. That's why Bitcoin integration was a natural first step," Ardoino explained. "However, USDT will be available soon, likely within the next few months."

“比特币是一种不可阻挡的货币，而 Keet 是一个不可阻挡的应用程序。这就是为什么比特币整合是自然的第一步，”Ardoino 解释道。 “不过，USDT 很快就会推出，可能会在未来几个月内推出。”

As the crypto market recovers from the 2022 crash, Tether's USDT stablecoin has regained its dominance, surpassing US$100 billion in total market value and currently hovering around US$106 billion, according to CoinGecko. DefiLlama reports that Tether holds a commanding 70% market share in the stablecoin sector, with a total circulation value of US$152 billion.

据 CoinGecko 称，随着加密市场从 2022 年的崩盘中复苏，Tether 的 USDT 稳定币重新占据主导地位，总市值超过 1000 亿美元，目前徘徊在 1060 亿美元左右。 DefiLlama 报道称，Tether 在稳定币领域占据了 70% 的市场份额，总流通价值达 1520 亿美元。

This outsized presence has attracted increased scrutiny, raising questions about the transparency of Tether's reserves. Ardoino stated that Tether has been releasing quarterly attestations of its reserves and plans to publish data in real-time, though a timeline for implementation was not provided. He acknowledged the challenges posed by the FTX collapse, which has made major accounting firms apprehensive about working with significant crypto firms due to reputational concerns.

这种规模庞大的存在引起了越来越多的审查，引发了人们对 Tether 储备透明度的质疑。 Ardoino 表示，Tether 一直在发布其储备的季度证明，并计划实时发布数据，但没有提供实施时间表。他承认 FTX 崩溃带来的挑战，由于声誉问题，大型会计师事务所对与重要的加密货币公司合作感到担忧。

"FTX has certainly not simplified our situation," Ardoino remarked.

“FTX 当然没有简化我们的情况，”Ardoino 说道。

Another controversial aspect of Tether has been its alleged involvement in cybercrime. Ardoino vehemently refuted these accusations, highlighting Tether's collaboration with law enforcement agencies in tracking criminals using USDT.

Tether 另一个有争议的方面是其涉嫌参与网络犯罪。 Ardoino 强烈反驳了这些指控，并强调了 Tether 与执法机构合作追踪使用 USDT 的犯罪分子。

"Any criminal using Tether must be exceptionally foolish," Ardoino asserted, emphasizing the transparency provided by the public blockchain on which Tether operates.

Ardoino 断言：“任何使用 Tether 的犯罪分子一定是极其愚蠢的。”他强调了 Tether 运行所在的公共区块链所提供的透明度。

Meanwhile, financial regulators have expressed concerns about the impact of stablecoins on financial stability, particularly regarding capital flight. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority initiated a public consultation in December on stablecoin regulations, requiring issuers to obtain licenses. Ardoino confirmed that Tether is closely monitoring regulatory developments in Hong Kong and is exploring partnerships with local firms to engage the market.

与此同时，金融监管机构对稳定币对金融稳定的影响表示担忧，特别是在资本外逃方面。香港金融管理局去年 12 月就稳定币监管启动了公众咨询，要求发行人获得许可证。 Ardoino 证实，Tether 正在密切关注香港的监管发展，并正在探索与当地公司合作以参与市场。

When asked whether Keet could potentially facilitate money laundering or destabilize financial systems, Ardoino downplayed the risks.

当被问及基特是否可能促进洗钱或破坏金融体系稳定时，阿多伊诺淡化了这些风险。

"USDT empowers the marginalized, those for whom a bank account and access to mainstream financial services are out of reach," he argued. "Traditional banking institutions have largely ignored their needs."

他表示：“USDT 为那些无法拥有银行账户和无法获得主流金融服务的边缘群体提供了帮助。” “传统银行机构很大程度上忽视了他们的需求。”

Ardoino emphasized that Keet is driven by an ideological commitment to freedom and privacy. Quoting the Joker in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight," he declared, "It's not about the money; it's about sending a message."

阿多伊诺强调，基特的驱动力是对自由和隐私的意识形态承诺。他引用克里斯托弗·诺兰（Christopher Nolan）的《黑暗骑士》中的小丑的话说，“这不是钱的问题，而是传递信息的问题。”
