Tether（USDT）Stablecoin即将进入比特币（BTC）闪电网络

Tether的首席执行官Paolo Ardoino坚持认为，在比特币闪电上的USDT仍然是整合Stablecoin的最佳计划

A recent interview with Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, has shed light on the upcoming integration of the company’s flagship stablecoin, USDT, with the Bitcoin Lightning network.

Tether首席执行官Paolo Ardoino最近的一次采访揭示了该公司旗舰Stablecoin USDT与比特币闪电网络的旗舰店的整合。

The integration, which has been in the works for some time, will see the return of USDT to its original roots after beginning its journey as an Omni-layer token on the Bitcoin blockchain.

该集成已经进行了一段时间，在开始以比特币区块链上的Omni-Layer令牌开始之后，将USDT归还其原始根源。

However, due to low demand, Tether decided to cease issuing new USDT on Omni and instead focus on issuing on Ethereum, the chain with the greatest demand.

但是，由于需求低，Tether决定停止发行新的USDT，而专注于发行以太坊，这是需求最大的连锁店。

Now, with the increasing popularity of Bitcoin and its second-layer scaling solution, Lightning Network, the stablecoin issuer is returning to the network.

现在，随着比特币及其第二层缩放解决方案的越来越流行，闪电网络，StableCoin发行人正在返回网络。

Announcing the partnership, Ardoino said:

宣布合作伙伴关系，Ardoino说：

“We started out on the Bitcoin chain. We built the protocol as an Omni-layer on the Bitcoin chain. When we started, there was no Ethereum chain, no Ethereum L2s, there was nothing.

“我们从比特币链上开始。我们在比特币链上建立了该协议。

We had to build a token that was recognized by all the exchanges. Back then, the exchanges were mainly focused on Bitcoin. So we had to put the token on the Bitcoin chain.”

我们必须建立一个被所有交流所认可的代币。那时，交换主要集中在比特币上。因此，我们不得不将令牌放在比特币链上。”

Earlier this year, Lightning Lab announced a partnership with Tether to integrate USDT on the blockchain. The partnership was announced during the Bitcoin Plan B conference in Plan B in Lugano, Switzerland.

今年早些时候，Lightning Lab宣布与Tether建立合作伙伴关系，以将USDT整合到区块链上。该合作伙伴关系是在瑞士卢加诺市B计划B比特币计划B会议上宣布的。

The integration will allow for the creation of Taproot Assets, also known as fungible tokens, using the Bitcoin blockchain. Announcing the partnership, Lightning Lab CEO, Labrys Berenson, said:

该集成将允许使用比特币区块链创建Taproot Assets，也称为“可及代币”。 Lightning Lab Labrys Berenson宣布合作伙伴关系，说：

“We are excited to be working with Tether to bring USDT to the Bitcoin Lightning Network. This partnership will allow us to create new and innovative financial products that will benefit everyone.”

“我们很高兴能与Tether合作将USDT带到比特币闪电网络。这种合作伙伴关系将使我们能够创建新的创新金融产品，从而使所有人受益。”

Earlier this year, Ardoino also touched on the strength of Bitcoin’s second-layer scaling solution, Lightning Network, for large-scale transactions. In an interview with BlockTV, the CEO noted that single-share state and limited network validators are major setbacks of other L2s compared with Lightning.

今年早些时候，Ardoino还谈到了比特币的第二层缩放解决方案Lightning Network的强度，用于大规模交易。在接受BlockTV的采访中，首席执行官指出，与Lightning相比，单共享状态和有限的网络验证器是其他L2S的主要挫折。

Some layer 2 networks, especially on Ethereum, have few or no validators on the chain, making transactions difficult. However, the peer-to-peer Bitcoin network uses nodes to process transactions, making them readily available.

某些第2层网络，尤其是在以太坊上，链上几乎没有验证器，这使得交易变得困难。但是，点对点比特币网络使用节点来处理交易，使它们容易获得。

Ardoino added that since the network leverages payment channels to make on-chain and off-chain transactions, users of an existing channel can maintain anonymity, unlike Ethereum L2’s single-share state, where every validator has access to all individual data on the blockchain.

Ardoino补充说，由于网络利用付款渠道进行链上和链链交易，因此现有渠道的用户可以保持匿名性，这与以太坊L2的单共享状态不同，每个验证者都可以访问区块链上的所有单个数据。
