Move Move Move

从广义上讲,有两种方法可以考虑扩展区块链:将它们分解成更小的部分并尝试将它们连接起来,或者优化和扩展单个分片。

Rollup 和分片是将区块链分解成更小部分的主要例子。这些方法产生了几个二阶问题:

  1. 它们会破坏可组合性
  2. 它们会增加延迟
  3. 它们增加了开发人员的技术复杂性
  4. 它们增加了许多未经协调的开发者之间的社会协调成本
  5. 它们制作的跨链应用程序本质上就脆弱

另一种方法是对单个分片进行优化和扩展。这种方法的最大问题是,在固定的时间点,整体系统性能必须有一定的上限(但是,硬件会不断变得更快)。

加密行业以相对二元的方式构建了这场辩论。但仍有细微差别。这些方法并不相互排斥。尽管业内大多数人传统上都主张将状态分解为多个部分,但我们主张优化单分片性能以优化 UX、DX 并最大化可组合加密应用程序的设计空间。这种信念使我们在 2019 年和 2020 年期间对 Solana 进行了三次投资,并在 2021 年迅速崛起。这导致我们进入 Aptos。

我很高兴地宣布 Multicoin Capital 参与了Aptos Labs2 亿美元的战略融资。本轮融资由 a16z crypto 领投,参与方包括 Katie Haun’s fund、3 Arrows Capital、ParaFi Capital、IronGrey、Hashed、Variant、Tiger Global、BlockTower、FTX Ventures、Paxos、Coinbase Ventures 等。

Aptos Labs 正在构建一种新的第 1 层区块链,专注于安全性、可扩展性和可升级性。该团队由Mo ShaikhAvery Ching领导,他们是 Meta 的 Libra/Diem 和Calibra/Novi 的两位主要构建者。不幸的是,Diem 被阻止启动,这使他们的工作无法看到曙光。Mo 和 Avery 没有放弃多年的工作,而是离开了 Meta,在开源的 Diem 代码库的基础上建立了一个名为 Aptos 的新网络(它恰如其分的意思是“人民”)。离开 Meta 后,Mo 和 Avery 以及许多 Diem 和 Novi 核心开发人员聚集在一起,组成了加密领域最令人印象深刻的团队之一。

需要注意的是,Meta 和 Diem 协会不是 Aptos 的投资者。Meta 公司的所有人——包括 David Marcus、Mark Zuckerberg 或 Meta 公司当前的领导层——均没有对该项目进行投资。这种隔离很重要。然而,考虑到团队和技术的成熟性,这并不是从头开始的。事实上,作为今天融资公告的一部分,包括 Anchorage、Binance、Blockorus、Coinbase、Livepeer、Moonclave、Paxos、Paymagic、Rarible 和 Streaming Fast 在内的几个品牌均表示计划在不久的将来基于 Aptos 进行开发。

Aptos 团队相信如上所述便能扩展单个分片的性能。除此之外,Aptos 技术还优先考虑了一些关键事项:

  • 考虑到编写有漏洞的智能合约是如此简单,因此安全性势在必行。很明显,今天编写的代码将在几年内用于保护数万亿美元的价值。自三年前发布 Aptos 使用的编程语言 Move 以来,它已被广泛赞誉为出色的 VM 和开发环境。它能与 Rust 和 C++ 的效率相媲美,同时能提供许多安全功能,从而使编写带有漏洞的智能合约变得更加困难。此外,Move Prover使正式验证 Move 合约变得非常简单,并且提供了非常强大的安全保证。长期以来,我们一直坚信优化过且有主见的开发环境的重要性,并认为 Move 将成为未来一年最重要的开发环境之一。
  • Hotstuff 共识,目前已进入第四次主要迭代。和 Move 一样,Hotstuff 也广受好评,并得到了正式验证。Hotstuff 速度快,提供久经考验的安全性能,而且开销低。

围绕新公链建立有机社区是困难的。鉴于我们使用 Solana 的经验,我们了解到 Layer 1 团队所能做到的最好事情即是使用自定义编程环境启动,而不仅仅是作为另一条 EVM 链。Move 是一项杰出的技术,我们相信它能吸引来自不同技术背景的开发人员,且能在更大范围内加速加密生态系统的发展。由于 Move 对安全性的重视,我们认为它将帮助许多开发人员和公司摆脱困境并进行构建。没有人愿意成为一个最终充斥着漏洞并导致人们赔钱项目的倡导者。Move 大大地降低了这种风险,我们希望许多开发人员用 Move 来编写他们的第一份智能合约并将其部署于 Aptos 上。

Aptos 拥有数亿美元的研发资金,是一项成熟的技术。开发人员从 3 月 15 日开始可以在 Aptos 测试网上进行构建。Aptos 将在今年第二季度和第三季度分别推出激励性的测试网和主网。Aptos 团队已经是 20 强了,凭借对这个代码库的多年了解,他们正在快速发展并疯狂地招聘
