Blockstreami 2021. aasta ülevaade: kuidas Bitcoini suurim infrastruktuuriettevõte eelmisel aastal kasvas

The team at Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream reflects on its exceptional growth in 2021, which mirrored Bitcoin’s own.

2021 was a tremendous year for Blockstream and the Bitcoin ecosystem in general. Thanks to our talented and dedicated team of Bitcoiners, we continue to be at the vanguard of many of the industry’s most influential and cutting-edge projects.

Uue aasta vaimus soovisime mõtiskleda meie 2021. aasta kõige ambitsioonikamate ettevõtmiste mõjule ja nende hetkeseisule.

Growing With Bitcoin

This year, bitcoin achieved new highs, became legal tender on a nation-state level and reached another leg up in its quest for worldwide adoption. We at Blockstream had a similar breakout year, with the successful close of 210 miljonit dollarit osana meie B-seeria rahastamisest, mille väärtus on 3.2 miljardit dollarit, saavutades ametlikult ükssarviku staatuse.

Omandamised Adamant Capital ja Spondoolid helped further our mission of building financial infrastructure on Bitcoin by spawning several new initiatives, including our new ASICs division that will launch the industry’s first enterprise-grade miner and the introduction of Blockstream Finance that is serving as an on-ramp for Bitcoin-focused financial products like the Blockstream kaevandamise märkus.

We continue to integrate Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network and the Liquid sidechain, farther into the Blockstream product and service suite (i.e., Elements, Green, AQUA, Jade, Satellite, c-lightning), all tasuta ja avatud arendajatele.

Energiapuuduse lahendamine töötõendiga

2021. aasta esimesel poolel kasvas meie Blockstream Miningi divisjon muljetavaldava tempoga, sõlmides kõrgetasemelisi kliente kolokatsiooniteenustega ja teatades paljudest alternatiivsetele energialahendustele keskendunud partnerlustest. Kõige tähelepanuväärsemad olid koostööd Macquarie to pilot a carbon-neutral Bitcoin mining facility and with ruut (nüüd Block), et arendada a $5 million open-source, solar-powered Bitcoin mine in the U.S.

Ultimately, the Macquarie and Block mining facilities will demonstrate how we can incentivize the creation of more zero-emission power infrastructure through Bitcoin’s innovative proof of work and help drive the transition to cleaner energy. Contrary to the mainstream narrative surrounding Bitcoin and energy use, we believe it can provide a market-oriented solution to many of the energy sector’s problems today. For example, hundreds of thousands of megawatts of electricity go unused and wasted in West Texas alone. Bitcoin fixes this.

Usume, et oleme osa lahendusest, seetõttu käivitasime uue teenuse, Blockstream Energy, which leverages our modular mining units (MMUs) with Blockstream Satellite to deliver scalable energy demand to power producers. The service is able to tap stranded and otherwise wasted energy to maximize energy production efficiency and, in turn, improve the economics of renewable projects around the world.

Võitja Lightning võrgu skaleerimisel ja detsentraliseerimisel

Layering functionality and complexity on top of a minimal base layer allows Bitcoin to remain a decentralized form of hard money. In 2021, BTC capacity and the number of payment channels on the Lightning Network have more than tripled year-over-year, laying the groundwork for the wide-scale use of P2P payments on Bitcoin’s second layer. We expect the rapid adoption of Lightning and other Layer 2 protocols to compound in the near future, especially as nation states like El Salvador rely on them to onboard their citizens to the new Bitcoin economy.

Me usume oma Greenlight service and other Lightning infrastructure projects will play an integral part in meeting the scaling and onboarding demands of hyperbitcoinization. Greenlight, in particular, allows everyday citizens and small businesses to easily access the Lightning Network without having to run a node themselves and do so without handing over custody to their private keys and funds.

Madal kulu ja nõudmisel sõlmehaldus aitab ka Lightning-toega rakenduste arendust ja uuendusi sujuvamaks muuta, eemaldades tehnilised tõkked. Rakendused nagu Sfinks ja Viimane bänd kasutavad juba Greenlighti ja me eeldame, et see levib laiemale avalikkusele 2022. aastal.  

c-lightning jäi ruumi uuendajaks ja liidriks alates selle avamisest esimene topeltrahastatud kanal detsentraliseerimiseks likviidsuspakkumine maastikku maksete suunamise lihtsustamine Lightningi rakenduste arendajatele. Üks c-lightingu tunnusjooni on selle rikkalik funktsioonide ja pistikprogrammide komplekt, millest paljud POLT12 spetsifikatsioonid, mis võimaldab kasutajatel ja arendajatel vahetult katsetada uute Lightningi tööriistadega, mis pole ökosüsteemis saadaval või mida laialdaselt kasutatakse. Ja koos hiljutise kasutuselevõtuga PeerSwap, sõlmede aatomivahetuse pistikprogramm, mis võimaldab ahelasisest kanalite tasakaalustamist kiiremaks, odavamaks ja töökindlamaks võrguks. Lightning Network on tuleval aastal uue sammu jaoks valmis.

Building The Financial Layer Of The Bitcoin Economy On The Liquid Network

Eelmisel aastal nägi Liquid Network muljetavaldavat ökosüsteemi kasvu tänu paljudele kauplemiskohtadele, rahakotipakkujatele ja integratsioon mis kasutas külgahelat, sealhulgas Hodl Hodl, SideSwap, TDEX, WooCommerce, Spectre Wallet ja paljud teised.

2021 was also the year Liquid became the platform of choice for companies and, yes, even nation states seeking secure asset issuance on Bitcoin.

septembril El Salvador muutis Bitcoini seaduslikuks maksevahendiks ja rullis välja a riiklikult toetatud Lightning Networki rahakott oma kodanike pardale. Mõni kuu hiljem tegi Feel The Biti laval El Salvadori president Nayib Bukele koos Blockstreami CSO Samson Mowga ettepaneku $1 billion bitcoin-backed bond (EBB1) tokenized on the Liquid Network to expand the country’s energy and Bitcoin mining infrastructure.

Nagu see Bitcoini seadus, El Salvador’s planned digital securities law will pave the way for additional bitcoin-backed financial instruments and create new markets and exchanges for investors to trade security tokens on.  

Our Blockstream Mining Note, launched in July, is a Luxembourg-regulated security that offers investors exposure to Bitcoin hash rate at our mining facilities. Through seven tranches, it has raised a total of €33.5 million (about $38 million) and mined nearly 2.5 BTC BMN kohta 170 päeva jooksul.

Kaubeldava turvamärgina, mis on välja antud Liquidis ja mida hallatakse meie varaplatvormi kaudu Blokeerige AMP, investors can easily adjust their exposure by trading the BMN on secondary markets or peer to peer. From a Bitcoiner perspective, the BMN creates a win-win for investors and the broader ecosystem by expanding investor participation in Bitcoin’s proof of work.

Edaspidi oleme optimistlikud turvamärkide peavoolu kasutuselevõtu, nende edasise regulatiivse selguse ja hilisemate kapitaliturgude reformimine. BMN, EXO märkja muud vedelad turvamärgid on kavas avaldada uutel STO platvormidel Bitfinexi väärtpaberid ja MERJ Vahetusja EBB1 on oodata juba 1. aasta I kvartalis.

Note: As the El Salvador Bitcoin Bond (EBB1) proposal matures and gets fine tuned, Blockstream will remain a technical consultant, with Bitfinex as bookmaker taking on the primary duties of distribution and issuance.

Aitäh

We are now nearly 13 years forward from Bitcoin’s genesis block and more than four years from the activation of SegWit. Looking back over the years is a humbling reminder of how far Bitcoin has come and the incredible pace at which we are moving closer to hyperbitcoinization.

We want to sincerely thank the community and each Bitcoiner for their unwavering belief in a better future.

With your support, we look forward to continuing our company mission of building out innovative Bitcoin infrastructure, with Layer 2 solutions Lightning and Liquid as cornerstones of the new Bitcoin economy.

Ära usalda, kontrolli.
