Cryptoria｜用简单的语言，讲述纷乱繁杂的加密世界Ep.78 从以太坊到比特币：跨生态建设者对比特币二层未来的洞察(feat. Kevin Liu)这期播客我们邀请了以太坊二层链Metis联合创始人，同时也是比特币GOAT Network联合创始人Kevin Liu，深入探讨他从以太坊转向比特币生态的技术创新之旅。Kevin分享了GOAT Network如何通过尖端技术为比特币提供可扩展性解决方案，同时严格保持比特币的原生安全性 - 比特币持有者最关心的核心问题。突破性经济模型Kevin介绍了GOAT Network创新的去中心化排序器网络，该网络允许用户质押BTC到节点参与出块，获得yBTC作为质押凭证。节点运营者收取以BTC计价的交易手续费，并与质押者分享收益，创造了比特币原生可持续收益的途径，解决了比特币持有者寻求资产收益而不愿卖出底层BTC的核心需求。生态差异与战略定位Kevin深入分析了以太坊和比特币生态的根本差异：以太坊Layer 2主要关注用户体验优化，安全性由以太坊主网保障；而比特币Layer 2必须从零开始构建安全框架，这需要更多技术创新和经济设计。GOAT Network战略性地整合了DOGE生态，看中的是它和比特币相似的属性（去中心化、长期存在、高市值）和庞大用户基础，可以为网络带来更多交易量和应用场景。丰富的应用前景Kevin分享了比特币Layer 2上的多元应用场景：抵押借贷和稳定币铸造，满足持有者不售出BTC的情况下获取流动性的需求yBTC凭证的衍生金融产品，创造不同期限和收益的结构化产品机构级资产托管和收益解决方案，特别针对ETF持有者的巨量需求预测市场和其他比特币特有的金融应用行业洞察与未来展望Kevin提出比特币Layer 2正处于关键拐点，类似于以太坊早期Optimistic Rollup面临技术瓶颈的阶段。一旦社区解决当前面临的技术挑战（如BitVM2的提现经济模型），整个生态将迎来爆发性增长。作为跨生态建设者，Kevin强调应从用户需求出发构建解决方案，将比特币定位为结算层，Layer 2作为计算层，两者形成互补架构。他呼吁更多开发者加入比特币Layer 2生态建设，共同开启比特币新时代。关键技术解释：zkVM (零知识证明虚拟机): 这是GOAT Network的技术基石，能够证明链下计算的正确性并生成密码学证明。它允许在不泄露具体数据的情况下，验证链下交易的有效性，并将结果状态安全地传回比特币主网。这解决了比特币扩展性的关键技术挑战。BitVM2: 作为zkVM的配套技术，BitVM2允许在比特币网络上验证提交的零知识证明(ZKP)。这一技术完成了验证闭环，使比特币能够确认Layer 2上执行的交易确实有效，从而确保资产安全。关键词：区块链、以太坊、一层链、比特币、安全性、BTC、yBTC、Metis、GOAT Network、DOGE、狗狗币、二层链、zkVM、BitVM、Defi、ETF、Metis03:30 Kevin解释转向比特币生态的原因：技术探索(zkVM)和商业需求驱动，zkVM能连接不同区块链，为比特币提供新的扩展可能性06:53 选择比特币的理由：其巨大资产规模与用户需求，以及比特币的技术限制需要链下计算解决方案，正好契合zkVM的优势09:59 GOAT Network定位：通过zkVM和BitVM2技术结合，同时满足扩展BTC资产和维持比特币原生安全性的需求14:55 比特币与以太坊开发差异：比特币Layer 2需从底层构建，首要解决资产安全问题，而不仅是用户体验17:02 去中心化排序器网络：通过质押BTC参与出块获得收益，确保系统去中心化，防止单一控制20:31 GOAT Network经济模型：用户质押BTC获得yBTC，节点出块获得手续费并分享，创造BTC原生可持续收益途径27:06 比特币Layer 2潜在应用：基础DeFi应用、抵押借贷、铸造稳定币和yBTC收益机会，不触动原始BTC资产30:33 资产托管与机构需求：ETF持有者寻求BTC收益的需求巨大，Layer 2需继承比特币原生安全性才能获得机构信任34:04 技术挑战：BitVM2面临提取过程的经济可行性问题，比特币Layer 2处于即将爆发的临界阶段37:31 DOGE生态整合：选择DOGE因其与BTC属性相似，能为网络带来更多用户和交易量，是市场拓展策略的一部分41:49 核心愿景：在不改变BTC本位属性的前提下提供安全收益途径，将比特币定位为结算层，Layer 2作为计算层。44:10 生态观点：应从用户需求出发构建解决方案，比特币Layer 2发展才刚开始，呼吁更多开发者参与。47:06 比特币社区特性：去中心化导致效率挑战，依靠行业自驱力推进。Kevin分享个人加密旅程，被区块链社区共识机制吸引嘉宾相关链接：Kevin (Twitter)Goat Network (Twitter｜官网)Metis (Twitter｜官网)主播：Vivienne (Twitter: @Vivienne_smile)Zhiyang (Twitter @zhiyangxyz)Twitter：@0x_cryptoria小助手微信：trifoliumlabs微信公众号：Cryptoria加密投研免责声明: 所有观点纯属主播个人意见仅供分享，不构成任何投资建议。加密货币投资风险巨大，在做出任何投资决定前，请先做好充分调查并咨询相关专业人士。2025-03-1953 min
