本次《瓦力哇哩》邀請到的主講嘉賓是RSK/RIF亞太地區(qū)總監(jiān)Eddy Travia, RSK智能合約網(wǎng)絡是比特幣網(wǎng)絡保護的第一個通用智能合約平臺，是世界上最安全的智能合約平臺，其支持可持續(xù)的鏈上擴容。RSK基礎架構(gòu)框架開放標準（RIF OS）是一套開放和分散的基礎架構(gòu)協(xié)議，可在統(tǒng)一環(huán)境中實現(xiàn)分布式應用程序（dApp）的更快，更輕松和可擴展的開發(fā)。通過RSK網(wǎng)絡開發(fā)的RIF服務可以使dapp更加安全，簡便的開發(fā)。目前RIF服務包括目錄、支付、存儲、通信和數(shù)據(jù)服務。
本期直播訪談的主題是：當BTC加上智能合約，會爆發(fā)出怎樣的潛能？
?以下為采訪實錄：（在不改變原意的情況下，稍有刪節(jié)）
主持人：第一問：在采訪前我也閱讀了一些材料，最開始項目叫RSK，后來改名為IOV，現(xiàn)在還有個RIF的項目似乎是在平行跑，能不能給我們粉絲朋友們解釋一下這三個項目，或者說是品牌之間的關(guān)系？( Question1：What is the relationship between RSK Labs, RIF Labs,and IOV Labs? Can you explain that for us? ）
?
Eddy Travia：RSK Labs是其聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人于2015年創(chuàng)建的第一家公司，旨在建立一個由比特幣網(wǎng)絡保護的智能合約平臺。RIF Labs是IOV Labs的原名。IOV Labs是一家在直布羅陀注冊的組織，于2018年收購RSK，致力于為新的全球經(jīng)濟構(gòu)建低成本，高度安全，易于使用的平臺。RIF的全稱其實是RSK基礎結(jié)構(gòu)框架。它是一套開放式和分散式基礎結(jié)構(gòu)協(xié)議，可在統(tǒng)一環(huán)境中更快，更輕松和可擴展地開發(fā)分布式應用程序（dApp）。IOV Labs為新的全球經(jīng)濟構(gòu)建了低成本，高安全度，且易于使用的平臺。IOV Labs利用比特幣的收益和與其相配套的工具來創(chuàng)造和保護增長，為全球金融自由奠定了基礎。
RSK Labs was the first company createdby its co-founders in 2015 with the aim to build a smart contract platformsecured by the Bitcoin network. RIF Labs was the original name of IOV Labs. IOVLabs is a Gibraltar-registered organization which acquired RSK in 2018 andbuilds low-cost, highly secure, easy-to-use platforms for the new globaleconomy. RIF (RSK Infrastructure Framework) is a suite of open anddecentralized infrastructure protocols that enable faster, easier and scalabledevelopment of distributed applications (DApps) within a unified environment.IOV Labs builds low-cost, highly secure, easy-to-use platforms for the newglobal economy. Harnessing the benefits of Bitcoin with a suite of tools tocreate and protect growth, IOV Labs is planting the seeds for global financialfreedom.
主持人：第二問，RSK是一條比特幣的側(cè)鏈，和比特幣分叉有什么不同，那RSK是如何定義自己的？( Question 2：RSK is a sidechain of BTC, how is it different from a Bitcoin fork?How does RSK define itself? )
?
Eddy Travia：比特幣分叉是仍然使用比特幣軟件的核心組件，大多數(shù)情況下，分叉只是對配置變量的更改；有時可能還會對代碼和軟件進行更改。然而，RSK是一個全新的軟件，RSK具有自己的鏈，并且這條鏈是由許多比特幣礦工進行合并挖礦的。
同時，也因為RSK具有比特幣算力的保障，也令RSK上的區(qū)塊變得更加安全。1RBTC可以通過雙向錨定轉(zhuǎn)換為1BTC。雙向錨定即在從主鏈流出時1BTC=1RBTC，在返回主鏈時1個RBTC=1BTC。
并且，RSK具有智能合約的功能，RSK的虛擬機實現(xiàn)與以太坊虛擬機的兼容。這意味著您可以在RSK上使用智能合約開發(fā)人員工具。但是在比特幣的鏈上則無法執(zhí)行此操作。
A Bitcoin forkstill uses the core components of Bitcoin software
? - most of the time these are just changes tothe configuration variables
? - Sometimes there are also code/ softwarechanges
- RSK on theother hand is completely new software
? - RSK has its own blockchain
? - This blockchain is merge mined by a numberof Bitcoin miners
??? This results in blocks added to the RSKblockchain being secure as blocks are mined on the Bitcoin blockchain.
? - One R-BTC is exchangeable to one BTC via a2-way peg; 2-way peg means 1 BTC = 1 R-BTC going out on the main chain(peg-out) and 1 R-BTC = 1 BTC going back into the main chain (peg-in).
- RSK has smartcontract capability:
RSK's virtualmachine implementation is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Thismeans that you can use smart contract developer tools on RSK. You are not ableto do this on Bitcoin.
主持人：第三問，RSK網(wǎng)絡上可以實現(xiàn)BTC的快速支付功能,這似乎和比特幣的閃電網(wǎng)絡很像,兩者有什么不同?RSK網(wǎng)絡有何優(yōu)勢？( Question 3：RSK network supports BTC fast payment, itlooks similar to Lighting. Could you tell us the differences between them? Whatare the advantages of the RSK network? )
?
Eddy Travia：RIF OS以RSK區(qū)塊鏈為基礎構(gòu)建的。而且RIF OS具有多種服務，其中之一是Lumino網(wǎng)絡。Lumino網(wǎng)絡提供的是快速支付和交易的功能。從技術(shù)上講：Lumino是脫鏈狀態(tài)通道網(wǎng)絡，其發(fā)起的付款由RSK擔保，安全性更好，但是交易吞吐量要快得多。
相較于比特幣來說：RSK的每筆交易具有更低的轉(zhuǎn)賬費用（可變化的），RSK具有更快的出塊速度（~30秒vs ~10分鐘）。
?
RIF OS is builtusing the RSK blockchain as a foundation.
The Luminonetwork provides for fast payments/ transactions
? - In technical terms: Lumino is off-chainstate channel network
? - Payments are secured by RSK, and thereforealso by Bitcoin, but with a much faster transaction throughput.
Compared toBitcoin:
RSK has lowerfees per transaction (variable)
RSK has fasterblock times (~30 seconds vs ~10 minutes)
?
?
?
主持人：?第四問，因為RIF和RBTC兩種代幣都存在RSK網(wǎng)絡中，RIF和RBTC的雙代幣機制怎么理解？在業(yè)內(nèi)是否是首創(chuàng)？對行業(yè)有哪些影響？ ( Question 4：There are R-BTC and RIF tokensin the RSK network. How to understand the dual token mechanism of RIF andR-BTC?Is it the first in the industry? What impact does it have on theindustry? )
?
Eddy Travia：RBTC是RSK區(qū)塊鏈的協(xié)議級加密貨幣。它與BTC是一比一掛鉤的。你可以在交易中將一定數(shù)量的RBTC從一個賬戶中轉(zhuǎn)移到另一個賬戶中。也可以將RBTC當做轉(zhuǎn)賬交易時的gas費用。比如將RIF轉(zhuǎn)賬到錢包時需要RBTC作為gas費用。
RIF是由智能合約定義的可替代令牌，且其遵循EIP-677標準，其和大家所熟知的ERC20標準相似；你可以通過與此智能合約的交互將一定數(shù)量的RIF從一個賬戶轉(zhuǎn)移到另一個賬戶中。
至于是否是行業(yè)首創(chuàng)這個問題，我想答案是否定的。在任何具有智能合約功能的區(qū)塊鏈平臺上都可以做到這一點；以太坊的ERC20代幣就是一個例子。需要注意的是，雖然可能只有一種協(xié)議級別的加密貨幣，但是基于多個智能合約的可代替令牌卻可以有很多個。
使RIF與其他可替代令牌與眾不同的是，RIF可以用于標定RIF操作系統(tǒng)即RIF
OS的各種服務的價格。具體的服務內(nèi)容包括：RIF姓名服務，RIF支付服務，RIF存儲服務等等。
?
- R-BTC:
? - R-BTC is the protocol level cryptocurrencyof the RSK blockchain; it is pegged to Bitcoin (via the 2-way peg describedearlier)
? - You may transfer units of R-BTC from oneaccount to another
directly withintransactions
? - You also use R-BTC to pay for any gas costsin transactions – for example when sending RIF tokens to a wallet
- RIF
? - RIF is a fungible token and defined by asmart contract which
follows theEIP-677 token standard, which is similar to the ERC20 token standard
? - You may transfer units of RIF from oneaccount to another
indirectly viainteracting with this smart contract
- First inindustry?
? - No, it is possible to do this in anyblockchain platform which has smart contract capabilities; Ethereum's ERC20fungible tokens are an example of this
? - Note that while there may only be oneprotocol level cryptocurrency, there can be multiple smart contract basedfungible tokens
? - The thing that makes RIF different fromother fungible tokens is that it is used to denominate the prices of variousservices that comprise the RIF OS

主持人：第五問，今年比特幣迎來了備受關(guān)注的減半行情，BTC的減半會對RSK造成什么影響呢？( Question 5：How?do you view the bitcoin halving market? What is the impact of BTC halving on RSK? )
?
Eddy Travia：由于RSK的安全性取決于比特幣礦工，，即使比特幣會減半，比特幣的礦工仍然會在減半后（因為他們知道這種情況每4年發(fā)生一次）繼續(xù)進行挖礦，因此其實BTC的減半并不會對RSK產(chǎn)生影響。RSK網(wǎng)絡安全將繼續(xù)受到比特幣網(wǎng)絡算力的保護。比特幣網(wǎng)絡的哈希算力通常在減半后趨于下降，然后迅速回到減半前的水平。
在這些動蕩的時代，比特幣減半（授予礦工的比特幣數(shù)量減半，從而在比特幣區(qū)塊鏈網(wǎng)絡上增加了一筆交易）與中央銀行在金融市場上大量導入美元，英鎊，歐元的情況是相符合的；在這種情況下，我相信人們應該會理解，被預先定義了其稀缺性的比特幣會成為更安全的長期價值保證。但是我認為這可以對RSK產(chǎn)生間接的積極影響。重要的是同RSK進行合并挖礦所獲得的比特幣哈希算力份額。
?
Since the security of RSK is dependent on Bitcoin miners andBitcoin miners are likely to continue mining BTC after the halving (they knowthis happens every 4 years) there is no impact on RSK. RSK network securitywill remain in direct link to the Bitcoin network security. Bitcoin networkhash power usually tends to decrease after the halving and then rapidly goesback to pre-halving levels.
In these turbulent times, the Bitcoin halving (the halving of
the number of bitcoins granted to miners adding a block of transactions on the
bitcoin blockchain) will coincide with a massive inflow of US dollars, British
pounds, Euros on the financial markets by the central banks; in that context, I
believe people should understand how the pre-defined scarcity of bitcoin is a
more secure long-term guarantee of value. But I would qualify this as an
indirect positive impact on RSK. The share of Bitcoin's hash power merge mined
by RSK is what matters.

主持人：第六問，我們注意到RSK目前有很多的應用，包括和阿根廷政府的合作，和物流公司的合作，和慈善機構(gòu)的合作，是否可以挑選一到兩個案例進行展開介紹下？( Question 6：We have noticed that RSK hasmany applications, including cooperation with the Argentine government,cooperation with logistics companies, and cooperation with charities. Is itpossible to select one or two cases for introduction? )
Eddy Travia：我簡單介紹三個RSK目前的落地應用。
1.Dexfreight
DexFreight是一個基于區(qū)塊鏈的去中心化物流平臺，使托運人，承運人和其他供應鏈利益相關(guān)者可以更有效，透明和安全地進行交易和協(xié)作。物流行業(yè)是一個高度分散的行業(yè)，效率低下，人工處理，數(shù)據(jù)隔離，付款速度緩慢以及欺詐，盜竊和交易對手糾紛等進一步影響造成巨大的延誤。DexFreight將區(qū)塊鏈，智能合約，物聯(lián)網(wǎng)和人工智能與當前技術(shù)和遺留系統(tǒng)集成在一起，為行業(yè)帶來了獨特的價值主張。該平臺提供不可篡改的身份和聲譽，數(shù)字化交易，代幣化支付，實時對等交互，自動負載和容量匹配，防欺詐以及更智能的金融和保險解決方案。DexFreight的主要客戶包括第三方物流提供商，托運人，承運人和供應鏈的所有其他參與者。
DexFreight技術(shù)將最終縮短轉(zhuǎn)換時間并降低成本，從而將產(chǎn)品交付最終用戶。在所有交易中使用智能合約將帶來更高的透明度和問責制，從而減少交易對手爭端及其相關(guān)成本。
與其他區(qū)塊鏈基礎設施相比，RSK提供了比特幣基礎設施及其自己的網(wǎng)絡，以更低的成本，可擴展性和更快的確認時間提供了貨運交易的不可篡改性。RSK是dexFreight的理想“第2層”解決方案。 使用區(qū)塊鏈開發(fā)人員社區(qū)已知的流行工具和編程語言，dexFreight可以經(jīng)濟高效地構(gòu)建其他組件，例如身份，oracle，區(qū)塊鏈上的交付證明。 RSK團隊還一直為dexFreight團隊提供技術(shù)支持，幫助其建立貨運智能合約和其他組件。
2.RSK最近官宣的項目：Gasnet
在阿根廷的天然氣監(jiān)管機構(gòu)（Enargas）的批準下，IOV Labs和軟件開發(fā)商Grupo Sabra開發(fā)并啟動了Gasnet，這是一個在企業(yè)版RSK智能合約網(wǎng)絡上運行的許可區(qū)塊鏈平臺。Gasnet旨在確保并加速阿根廷長期速度緩慢的燃氣認證過程。在現(xiàn)已投入運營的財團網(wǎng)絡中，認證文件和交易詳細信息在Gasnor和Enargas之間壓縮，后者各自運行一個網(wǎng)絡節(jié)點。當然認證僅僅是開始。 IOV實驗室和Grupo Sabra相信Gasnet的共享生態(tài)系統(tǒng)可以促進任意數(shù)量和內(nèi)容的服務。例如，鑒于天然氣基礎設施的危險性，技術(shù)人員的資格至關(guān)重要。 Gasnet還可以跟蹤整個阿根廷的承包商記錄。
3.Circlesof Angels
Circles
of Angels是利用區(qū)塊鏈技術(shù)為所有人提供社會影響融資的一個籌資網(wǎng)絡——說明實際上生產(chǎn)者的生活正如何受到影響，我們用這一透明度加快籌資進程。一個透明的平臺，提供了一個用于可視化和數(shù)字化影響籌資過程的簡單而全面的工具——直接從資助者向社會企業(yè)提供。我們利用建立智能合約的新方法作為通過里程碑融資支付資金的方法。
我們發(fā)現(xiàn)的核心問題之一是資助者與和當?shù)厣鐓^(qū)中的當?shù)鼐用窈献鞯纳鐣髽I(yè)之間的影響報告進程缺乏透明度。 7.67 億人生活在每天 1.90 美元的國際貧困線以下。在實現(xiàn)聯(lián)合國可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標的同時，尤其是目標 1，有必要采取制度變革的辦法來解決貧困問題。在消除貧困領(lǐng)域，缺乏獲得影響和社會企業(yè)(SE) 耐心資本的渠道。除這一挑戰(zhàn)外，利益相關(guān)者還無法真實地跟蹤資金的使用情況，以了解社會企業(yè)對生產(chǎn)者生活的實際影響以及社區(qū)的實際改善情況。

1. Dexfreight
DexFreight is adecentralized, blockchain-based logistics platform that allows shippers,carriers and other supply chain stakeholders to transact and collaborate moreefficiently, transparently and securely. The logistics industry is a highlyfragmented industry with inefficiencies, costly delays caused by manualprocesses, isolated data, slowed payments and further impacted by fraud, theftand counterparty disputes. DexFreight integrates blockchain, smart contracts,IoT, and artificial intelligence with current technologies and legacy systemsbringing a unique value proposition to the industry. The platform offersimmutable identity and reputation, digitized transactions, tokenized payments,real-time peer-to-peer interaction, automated load and capacity matching, fraudprevention, and smarter finance and insurance solutions.
DexFreightprimary customers include third-party logistics providers, shippers, carriersand all other actors of the supply chain.
DexFreighttechnology will ultimately translate in shorter times and lower costs to getthe products to the hands of the end consumer. The use of smart contracts forall transactions will bring new levels of transparency and accountabilityreducing counterparty disputes and the costs associated with them.
RSK providesBitcoin infrastructure along with its own network to provide immutability ofshipment transactions at much lower cost, scalability, and faster time toconfirmation compared to other blockchain infrastructures. RSK is an ideal“Layer 2” solution for dexFreight. Using popular tools and programminglanguages known by the blockchain developer community allows dexFreight tocost-effectively build other components such as identity, oracles, proof ofdelivery on the blockchain. RSK team has also been providing technical supportto the dexFreight team in building shipment smart contracts and other components.
2. RecentlyAnnounced Project: Gasnet
With theapproval of the gas regulator in Argentina (Enargas), IOV Labs and softwarebuilder Grupo Sabra have developed and launched Gasnet, a permissionedblockchain platform running on an enterprise version of the RSK smart contractnetwork. Gasnet is designed to secure and accelerate Argentina’s chronicallydelayed gas certification processes. In the now-operational consortium network,certification documents and transaction details zip between Gasnor and Enargas,each of whom run a network node. Certification is just the beginning. IOV Labsand Grupo Sabra are confident that Gasnet's shared ecosystem can facilitate anynumber of services. Technician’s credentials, for example, are cruciallyimportant, given the dangerous nature of natural gas infrastructure. Gasnetwill also enable to track records of contractors all over Argentina.
3. Circles ofAngels
Circles of
Angels is a funding network to enable social impact financing for all using
blockchain technology. Circles of Angels facilitates the funding process with
transparency on how the lives of producers are actually being impacted. A
transparent platform that provides a simple yet comprehensive tool to visualize
and digitize the impact funding journey – ??fromfunders directly to Social Enterprises. Circles of Angels leverages new ways tobuild smart contracts as a means of disbursing funds through milestone-basedfinancing.
One of the coreproblems Circles of Angels has identified is the lack of transparency aroundthe impact reporting process between funders and social enterprises workingwith local, on the ground communities. 767 million people in the world livebelow the international poverty line of $1.90 a day. There is a lack of accessto patient capital for Impact and Social Enterprises (SEs) in the space ofpoverty eradication. Coupled with this challenge, is a further inability forstakeholders to authentically track the use of funds on the actual impactdeployed by the SEs on the lives of the producers and the actual improvementsin the communities.
Circles ofAngels is targeting social enterprises who are doing work impacting the spaceof poverty eradication with a clear focus on : Education, Climate Action, Techfor Good and Art. Funders, Angels or Philanthropists who are looking to deploytheir capital to impactful enterprises and are open to using technologies likeBlockchain to improve the tracking and use of funds that have been deployed.Leveraging technologies like smart contracts, is a response and a possiblesolution to the challenge of tracking where funds are going in a more tangibleway.
主持人：第七問，在比特幣網(wǎng)絡里加入智能合約系統(tǒng)這個很有創(chuàng)意，但RVM雖然兼容EVM，而Solidity不是最好的語言（尤其在安全性方面）。你們是否有任何關(guān)于添加其他語言（例如 WAsm虛擬機）的計劃？ ( Question 7：It is very creative to add asmart contract system to the Bitcoin network, but although RVM is compatiblewith EVM, Solidity is not the best language (especially in terms of security).Do you have any plans for adding other languages (such as WAsm virtualmachines)? )
?
Eddy Travia：確實RVM與EVM兼容，RVM與EVM一樣在字節(jié)碼級別上運行。當你打算在RVM或EVM上編譯智能合約時，編譯器需要能夠生成字節(jié)碼和應用程序二進制接口（ABI）。同時Solidyb并不是你唯一的選擇，其他編譯器可以輸出將在RVM或EVM上運行的字節(jié)碼和ABI，還有Web
Assembly也可以使用。當前RVM還不支持WASM或eWASM，EVM也不支持。RSK正在等待eWASM周圍的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)成熟。 最終決定可能在AION VM（基于Java）和eWASM之間.
?
- RVM and EVM
? - Yes indeed, the RVM is compatible with theEVM
? - The RVM operates at a bytecode level, justlike the EVM
? - When you compile a smart contract with theintent to execute it on either the RVM or EVM, the compiler needs to be able toproduce the bytecode and the application binary interface (ABI)
? - Solidity is not your only option, othercompilers exist which can output bytecode and ABI that will run on RVM or EVM
- Web Assembly
? - RVM currently does not support WASM oreWASM, neither does the EVM
? - RSK is waiting for the ecosystem aroundeWASM to mature. The final decision is likely to be between the AION VM(java-based) and eWASM
主持人：第八問，當前傳統(tǒng)資產(chǎn)市場和加密市場其實都面臨著一些挑戰(zhàn)和機遇，RSK/RIF 是怎么看待當前市場的？有哪些準備去抓住這一歷史機遇？ ( Question 8：At present, both thetraditional asset market and the crypto market are facing some challenges andopportunities. How does RSK / RIF view the current market? What are you goingto do to seize this historic opportunity? )
?
所以，我也相信這里有一個歷史機遇。不僅是鑒于最近發(fā)生的事件，我相信這將加快變革的步伐。RSK一直朝著這個方向努力。目前病毒流行引發(fā)金融危機，能夠促進世界更快的接受數(shù)字貨幣的采用，原因是當今的金融危機如2008年一樣，凸顯了傳統(tǒng)金融機構(gòu)之間缺乏信任，對經(jīng)濟增長造成了阻礙。在美國，依靠實物收銀員支票付款的人數(shù)一直很高，直到現(xiàn)在，當關(guān)閉銀行機構(gòu)并把人們限制在家里時，這不再是可行的選擇。誰知道什么時候銀行會重新營業(yè)？他們都會重新開放嗎？ 這些問題將迫使昨天的銀行客戶使用電子工具進行付款和接收資金，以便他們繼續(xù)從事經(jīng)濟活動； 這是邁向加密貨幣的第一步。 在新用戶大量加入電子金融服務之后，下一步是要了解區(qū)塊鏈為中心化電子支付服務帶來的更多好處。這些措施包括不依賴中央機構(gòu)的交易的即時結(jié)算，該交易可能會失敗（或破產(chǎn)），并依賴于區(qū)塊鏈上的付款痕跡（不在孤立的數(shù)據(jù)庫中）。
IOV Labs的成立是為了建立開放的分散式技術(shù)，以實現(xiàn)社會轉(zhuǎn)型。 我們所處的動蕩時代表明，縮小數(shù)字鴻溝和為人們建立交易和維護價值的工具都是至關(guān)重要的。因此，它增強了我們建立有助于金融普惠和所有人共同繁榮的工具的決心。 IOV Labs處于從數(shù)字貨幣和去中心化應用的加速和全球采用中受益的理想位置。
?
Interms of challenges we have seen how DeFi platforms have been affected by bothcrypto-specific technical issues and traditional market issues (liquidations).It seems inevitable that as the crypto financial infrastructure develops itfaces similar challenges to those faced by traditional financial systems suchas liquidity crunches and risks associated with leveraged trading positions.This is part of the growth path of this nascent sector. In addition, cryptotransactions are natively on the internet so the crypto sector has alwaysattracted hackers trying to break into exchanges or exploit smart contracts fortheir benefit, so security is of primary importance. This is why IOV Labs wantsto contribute to the development of a solid and safe DeFi infrastructure forBitcoin. Bitcoin is currently under-utilised as a collateral for decentralisedloans (one of the core DeFi services) because of the limited possibilities ofusing Bitcoin in smart contracts, this is a problem RSK solves; the RSK smartcontracts enable Bitcoin to be used (through R-BTC) as the collateral and unitof exchange in DeFi applications.
Bydoing so, it opens up a myriad of opportunities to entrepreneurs, developersand users in a new sector we call ‘DeFi for Bitcoin’. So yes, I believe thereis a historical opportunity here but not only in light of recent events, whichI believe will accelerate the pace of change; RSK was always working in thatdirection. The current financial crisis ignited by a virus epidemic has thepotential to fast-forward the adoption of digital currencies in a world whereonce again (as in 2008) trust has been broken and the lack of trust betweenlegacy financial institutions is a barrier to economic growth. In the US, thenumber of people relying on physical cashier’s cheques to make payments hasbeen very high until now when this is no longer a viable option when bankagencies are closed down and people are confined at home. Who knows when bankswill reopen? Will they all reopen? These questions will force yesterday’s bankclients to use electronic tools to make payments and receive funds so they cancontinue to be economically active; this is the first step towardscryptocurrencies. After a massive on-boarding of new users into electronicfinancial services the next step is the understanding that blockchain bringsadded benefits to non-blockchain, centralised electronic payment services;these include instant settlement for transactions not relying on centralauthorities which could go down (or bankrupt) and reliance on a trace of thepayment on the blockchain (not in a siloed data base).
IOVLabs was founded to build open decentralized technology enabling socialtransformation. The turbulent times we live in demonstrate how essential it isto reduce the digital divide and how vital it is to build tools for people totransact and safeguard value. Therefore it reinforces our determination tobuild tools contributing to financial inclusion and prosperity of all. IOV Labsis in an ideal position to benefit from the accelerated and global adoption ofdigital currencies and decentralised applications.
社群成員A：既然RSK已經(jīng)從比特幣跨鏈到以太坊，以后RSK會不會接入至更多的主流公鏈？( RSK has already crossed from Bitcoin to Ethereum. Will RSK accessmore public chains in the future? )
?
Eddy Travia：謝謝您提出這個問題，很好！是的，RSK希望將來與其他區(qū)塊鏈相連接。 這些區(qū)塊鏈的名稱尚未公開，但您可以理解可以跨鏈到以太坊是最近的發(fā)展。當其他的區(qū)塊鏈成為可能時，我們將會宣布。RSK認為，區(qū)塊鏈之間的互操作性對于整個加密生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的未來至關(guān)重要。
?
Thank you forthis question, good point ! Yes RSK is looking to build bridges with otherblockchains in the future; the names of those blockchains are not publiclyavailable yet but you can appreciate the bridge to Ethereum is a recentdevelopment. We will announce the other bridges when available.
RSK believesinter-operability between blockchains is of primary importance for the futureof the whole crypto ecosystem.
社群成員B：MoneyOnChain.com協(xié)議于去年年底在RSK上發(fā)布,MOC在RSK上的DeFi產(chǎn)品何時會正式推出？( MOC protocol launched at the end of last year on RSK，when will Defi product officially launched on RSK? )
?
Eddy Travia：感謝您指出這一點！確實，MoneyOnChain DeFi產(chǎn)品對于DeFi for Bitcoin生態(tài)系統(tǒng)非常重要。MoneyOnChain令牌（Dollar on Chain，BPRO令牌和BtcPro2X）是實時可用的。目前正在開發(fā)使用這些令牌和RSK生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的其他令牌的DeFi解決方案，并將很快推出，這是一個好消息！不幸的是，我暫時不能進行公布。但是如果你想了解更多的話可以加入我們RSK/RIF的小助手，及時獲取最新消息。
?
Thank you forpointing this out! Indeed, the MoneyOnChain DeFi products are very importantfor the DeFi for Bitcoin ecosystem. The MoneyOnChain tokens (Dollar on Chain,BPRO token and BtcPro2X) are live and available. The DeFi solutions using thesetokens and other tokens of the RSK ecosystem are currently in development andwill be launched soon - good news coming :-) ! Stay informed on the RSK / RIFchannels. Unfortunately I cannot say more for now…
