区块链神吐槽Pi Network的 Chendiao Fan 博士和 Nicolas Kokkalis 博士谈了改进和改革加密货币行业可以做的 5 件事。
许多早期的加密货币已经将权力和价值整合到了极少数人的手中，而早期采用者则获得了极大的优势。为了兑现公平开放的点对点去中心化金融系统的承诺，加密货币行业需要看到广泛分布在广泛网络中的代币。财富和权力的极度集中与去中心化的概念背道而驰。
作为在我关于“改善和改革加密货币行业可以做的 5 件事”系列的一部分中，我有幸采访了范成雕博士和 Nicolas Kokkalis 博士。
作为 Pi Network 的创始人和产品负责人，范承调博士将她在人类行为、社交计算和人机交互方面的专业知识带到了她的角色中。拥有博士学位。在斯坦福大学人类学科学系获得博士学位，范博士之前的工作包括设计软件系统以提高生产力、扩展社交通信以及为消费者提供未开发的社会资本。
作为终身技术专家，Nicolas Kokkalis 博士是 Pi Network 的创始人和技术主管。Kokkalis 博士在区块链技术和软件类型方面拥有广泛的背景，这些软件使大量在线人群能够实现共同目标。在他早期的博士学位中。在工作中，他创建了一个框架，用于在引入区块链和以太坊之前在容错分布式系统上编写“智能合约”。作为博士后的一部分，他还介绍并教授了 CS359B，即斯坦福计算机科学系的区块链去中心化应用课程。
非常感谢您与我们一起做这件事！我们的读者很想“了解你”多一点。你能告诉我们一些关于你的“背景故事”吗？
范成雕和 Nicolas Kokkalis 博士：
我们的学术生涯和个人兴趣真正促成了 Pi Network 的创建，这是一个庞大的开放社区，由世界上分布最广泛的加密货币提供支持，为会员、商家和开发人员提供可访问性并为强大的生态系统提供支持。我们都从斯坦福大学获得了博士学位，在那里我们相互了解并在多个项目上合作了十多年。在 Pi 之前，我们设计了软件系统来提高生产力、扩展社交通信并挖掘未开发的社会资本。
我们坚信加密货币的技术、财务和社会潜力，但对它们目前的局限性感到沮丧——这正是我们创建 Pi Network 的动力。我们致力于通过改善当前体验和为每个人创造价值，将区块链的力量带给更多人。为此，我们采用以用户为中心的设计理念，颠覆了新区块链的开发过程：在 Beta 版中发布；邀请成员加入网络；与成员一起迭代协议；分散最终的设计。
你能告诉我们你是如何第一次涉足区块链和加密货币行业的吗？
范成雕博士：
我完成了博士学位。斯坦福大学人类学科学博士，具有人类行为和人口研究方面的专业知识。后来我的研究兴趣集中在人机交互和社交计算上——特别是我们如何利用技术对人类行为和社会产生积极影响。由于权力下放与经济工具的结合，我对区块链技术感到兴奋。这一技术奇迹可以动员世界各地的个人参与并因他们的贡献而获得奖励。正如互联网使世界通过信息交换更加紧密地联系起来一样，区块链和加密货币也使得与价值交换的合作更加紧密和频繁。
Nicolas Kokkalis 博士：
我一生都是技术专家；作为一名年轻的本科生，我在实验室从零开始设计并制造了一款新颖的计算机主板。我一直对分布式系统很感兴趣，并且是最早的比特币交易所之一的用户。在我早期的博士学位中。在工作中，我创建了一个框架，用于在区块链和以太坊出现之前在容错分布式系统上编写“智能合约”，并将其作为我的硕士论文发表。我的博士 斯坦福大学的论文专注于众包和社交计算。后来我成为斯坦福计算机科学系的博士后学者，在那里我在斯坦福计算机科学系介绍并教授 CS359B，区块链上的去中心化应用程序课程。在那里，我亲身经历了将区块链的技术进步交到普通人手中的困难。我相信今天的技术比以往任何时候都更能赋予人们权力。通过研究类似的主题，我们知道我们想要一个能够解决传统区块链无法解决的所有问题的区块链。

你能分享一个你的故事吗？是什么让你继续前进并帮助你度过了那些时光？
范成雕博士：
迄今为止，我们面临的最大挑战之一是为大规模且广泛分布的网络解决可扩展的 KYC（“了解您的客户”）问题。没有可负担得起的 KYC 替代方案可以扩展到 Pi Network 的规模，现在它的数量为 3500 万并且还在增加。应对这一挑战是我们的首要任务；KYC 确保用户是他们所说的那样，并且是识别用户风险以及用户是否能够满足机构使用其服务的要求的关键过程。我们需要 KYC 来确保遵守法律和 Pi Network 政策——每个成员都可以拥有一个帐户，并且只有真人才能参与生态系统。
我们通过开发自己的 Pi KYC 解决方案来正面应对这一挑战。Pi KYC 解决方案通过将尖端的机器自动化与通过同行审查和验证的个人进行的创新众包人工验证相结合，为 KYC 提供了一种新颖且可扩展的方式。虽然系统的机器自动化部分处理图像处理和假身份检测等任务，但人工验证人员检查其他成员的编辑数据，并来自社区本身的 KYC 成员。除了防止垃圾邮件帐户和阻止不良行为者之外，Pi KYC 还帮助网络遵守法规，同时顺畅地发展其蓬勃发展的社区。
在解决这一挑战时，让我们保持动力和专注的是 Pi 的使命和愿景，这是我们所有决策的核心。这种多管齐下的 KYC 解决方案完美地代表了整个 Pi 生态系统的运作方式：一个本地的、去中心化的社区，在该社区中，为 Pi 代币交换劳动力并创造真正的效用，不涉及法定货币。本土 KYC 解决方案是 Pi Network 兑现公平、包容性和可访问性承诺的最佳方式。
根据您的经验，区块链公司应该考虑哪些顶级战略来获得更强的竞争优势？
Nicolas Kokkalis 博士：
这将根据公司、他们的产品以及他们试图解决的差距或问题而有很大差异。该行业的许多公司已经能够在短期内取得巨大的成功，但可能会在长期稳定增长方面遇到困难。诸如行业的新生、围绕某些项目、公司和趋势的“炒作”和兴奋以及强劲的经济等因素使这成为可能。然而，随着这些因素的变化和市场情绪的变化，这些公司可能会面临挑战。
寻求在该行业取得长期成功的公司需要花时间和耐心来构建真正为该领域增加价值的产品或服务，教育对加密感兴趣的人，并帮助加密爱好者将注意力从短期转移回归长期成功，这有时需要做出看似违反直觉的决定。明确他们的价值主张并创造真正的效用是建立强大基础和长期保持高度竞争力的关键。
区块链行业最让您兴奋的三件事是什么？为什么？
范成雕博士：
- 我们正在彻底改变货币体系的想法。
- 大规模调整利益的能力，然后激励和动员人们共同实现伟大的目标。
- 随着我们更加坚定地进入 Web3 世界，区块链正在产生新的创新应用程序和在线体验。
Nicolas Kokkalis 博士：
- 智能货币现在嵌入了金融功能的想法。
- 世界作为一个大社区的可能性将创造有用的案例研究。
- 事实上，我们正处于这场革命的开端。类似于互联网的出现，起初很少有人理解，但现在离不开它。
区块链行业让你担心的三件事是什么？为什么？
范成雕博士和 Nicolas Kokkalis 博士：
代币分布
虽然区块链的一个主要属性是去中心化，但对“去中心化”的关注主要集中在技术方面——在分布式系统上运行，而不是分布本身、进入壁垒或价值捕获机制。只有广泛分布的代币才能有效地帮助引导一个基于实用程序的生态系统，并帮助我们达到区块链授权系统可以大规模采用的拐点。80% 的 Pi 代币提供给社区和网络。通过对网络做出不同的贡献，每个人都可以在不支付任何法定货币的情况下挖掘 Pi。Pi试图通过其挖矿机制和生态系统建设来实现和维持广泛的分布。
可访问性
可访问性受到进入、使用和参与的财务、技术和知识障碍的影响，并影响分发。为了实现可访问性，我们需要提出解决方案来解决人们参与网络的每一步中的这些障碍，包括挖掘或获取代币的成本、用户友好和直观的界面、用户教育和社区建设。手机应用程序上的免费能源轻挖矿使 Pi 在为网络做出贡献的同时，使用我们的加密货币增长到超过 3500 万社区成员。
开发者体验简单+用户访问：
区块链技术不必复杂。我们的 Javascript 软件开发工具包 (SDK) 与区块链集成，各种 API 为应用程序提供基本功能。任何开发人员都不需要加密/区块链经验来向一个充满活力的大型加密社区提供服务。
好的，谢谢你所做的一切。这是我们采访的主要问题。
您能否分享“可以做的 5 件事来改善和改革加密货币行业”？如果可以，请为每个人分享一个故事或示例。
范成雕博士和尼古拉斯·科卡利斯博士：
许多早期的加密货币已经将权力和价值整合到了极少数人的手中，而早期采用者则获得了极大的优势。为了兑现公平开放的点对点去中心化金融系统的承诺，加密货币行业需要看到广泛分布在广泛网络中的代币。财富和权力的极度集中与去中心化的概念背道而驰。
由于许多因素，加密货币目前并未广泛用作交换媒介。其中包括价格波动和缺乏效用。创建一个基于公用事业的生态系统，加密货币可以被广泛使用并通过应用程序定期交换商品和服务，这将有助于解决这个问题，并使加密货币的用途超越价值存储。
计算复杂的挖掘协议，如工作量证明，需要大量的能量。依赖于此类协议的加密货币会消耗大量电力，因此会给环境带来巨大负担。该行业应寻求通过使用能源密集程度较低的共识协议来最大限度地减少其对环境的负面影响。
区块链技术和去中心化网络的新颖性给世界带来了挑战，因为许多项目，无论好坏，都在探索其方向，监管仍然是为传统企业和整个行业量身定制的。更严格地遵守当前的政策和法规，以及更加明确的未来法规，将极大地有利于该行业。
为了让加密货币行业影响全球的生活，它需要更容易获得。这包括较低的进入门槛、更广泛的行业和技术教育，以及更易于访问和用户友好的设计。

Dr Chengdiao Fan & Dr Nicolas Kokkalis of Pi Network On The 5 Things That Can Be Done To Improve and Reform The Cryptocurrency Industry
An Interview With Tyler GallagherMany early cryptocurrencies have seen a consolidation of power and value into the hands of very few, and early adopters are greatly advantaged. In order to fulfill the promise of a fair and open peer-to-peer decentralized financial system, the cryptocurrency industry needs to see widely distributed tokens across broad networks. The extreme concentration of wealth and power goes directly against the concept of decentralization.
Aspart of my series about the “5 Things That Can Be Done To Improve and Reform The Cryptocurrency Industry” I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Chengdiao Fan and Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis.
Dr. Chengdiao Fan brings her expertise in human behavior, social computing and human computer interaction to her role as a Founder and Head of Product of Pi Network. With a Ph.D. in Anthropological Sciences from Stanford University, Dr. Fan’s previous work includes designing software systems to improve productivity, scaling social communications, and surfacing untapped social capital for consumers.
A lifelong technologist, Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis is a Founder and Head of Technology at Pi Network. Dr. Kokkalis has an extensive background in blockchain technology and types of software that enable large groups of people online to achieve common goals. In his early Ph.D. work, he created a framework for writing “smart contracts” on fault tolerant distributed systems before blockchain and Ethereum were introduced. As part of his postdoc, he also introduced and taught CS359B, the Decentralized Applications on Blockchain class in Stanford’s Computer Science department.
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit more. Can you tell us a bit about your “backstory”?
Dr. Chengdiao Fan and Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis:
Our academic career and personal interests are what truly led to the creation of Pi Network, a massive, open community powered by the world’s most widely distributed cryptocurrency that delivers accessibility and enables a robust ecosystem for members, merchants and developers. We both received our Ph.D.s from Stanford University where we got to know each other and collaborate for over a decade on multiple projects. Before Pi, we designed software systems to improve productivity, scaled social communications, and surface untapped social capital.
We are strong and long-term believers in the technical, financial and social potential of cryptocurrencies, but frustrated by their current limitations — which is what motivated us to create Pi Network. We are committed to bringing the power of blockchain to more people by improving the current experience and building value for everyone. We are doing this by employing a user-centric design philosophy that turns the development process of new blockchains upside down: Launch in Beta; invite members to the network; iterate the protocol together with the members; decentralize the resulting design.
Can you tell us the story of how you got first involved in blockchain and the cryptocurrency industry?
Dr. Chengdiao Fan:
I finished my Ph.D. in Anthropological Sciences from Stanford University, with expertise in human behavior and human population studies. My research interests later focused on human-computer interaction and social computing — specifically, how we use technology to positively impact human behavior and societies. I became excited about blockchain technology due to the merging of decentralization with an economic instrument. This technological marvel can mobilize individuals all over the world to participate and be rewarded for their contributions. Just as the internet enabled the world to be more connected through information exchanges, blockchain and cryptocurrencies enable closer and more frequent collaborations with value exchanges. My hope for Pi is the establishment of an inclusive ecosystem for global citizens to unleash and capture their own value, and in turn create value for society and the world.
Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis:
I have been a technologist all my life; as a young undergraduate, I designed and built a novel computer motherboard from scratch in the lab. I have always been interested in distributed systems and was a user in one of the first Bitcoin exchanges. In my early Ph.D. work, I created a framework for writing “smart contracts” on fault tolerant distributed systems, before blockchain and Ethereum came to exist, and published it as my MS thesis. My Ph.D. thesis at Stanford University focused on Crowdsourcing and Social Computing. I later became a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Stanford Computer Science department, where I introduced and taught CS359B, the Decentralized Applications on Blockchain class, in Stanford’s Computer Science department. That’s where I encountered firsthand the difficulty of getting the technological advances of blockchain into the hands of everyday people. I believe today technology can empower people more than ever. Through studying a similar subject matter we knew we wanted a blockchain that could solve all of the problems traditional blockchain could not.
Can you share a story of a time when things went south for you? What kept you going and helped you to overcome those times?
Dr. Chengdiao Fan:
One of the greatest challenges we have faced so far has been solving the problem of scalable KYC (“Know Your Customer”) for a massive and widely distributed network. There was no affordable KYC alternative that was scalable to the size of Pi Network, which now numbers 35M and counting. It was a priority for us to tackle this challenge; KYC ensures that a user is who they say they are and is a crucial process for identifying user risk and whether the user can meet the institution’s requirements to use their services. We need KYC to ensure compliance with law and Pi Network policies — each member is allowed one account and only real human beings can participate in the ecosystem.
We faced this challenge head-on by developing our own Pi KYC solution. By combining cutting-edge machine automation with innovative crowdsourced human verification through peer-vetted and verified individuals, the Pi KYC solution provides a novel and scalable way to KYC. While the machine automation portion of the system tackles tasks such as image processing and fake ID detection, human verification individuals check the redacted data of other members and are sourced from the KYC’ed members of the community itself. Beyond preventing spam accounts and keeping out bad actors, Pi KYC helps the network to comply with regulations while frictionlessly growing its thriving community.
What kept us motivated and focused while solving this challenge was the mission and vision of Pi, which we hold at the core of all of our decisions. This multi-pronged KYC solution is a perfect representation of how the entire Pi ecosystem works: a native, decentralized community where labor is exchanged, and real utility created, for Pi tokens and no fiat is involved. A home-grown KYC solution is the best way for Pi Network to deliver on the promise of fairness, inclusivity and accessibility.
In your experience, what are the top strategies that blockchain companies should consider to have a stronger competitive edge?
Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis:
This will vary greatly depending on the company, their product, and the gap or problem that they are trying to solve. Many companies in this industry have been able to achieve great short-term success but may struggle with long-term stable growth. Factors such as the nascency of the industry, ‘hype’ and excitement surrounding certain projects, companies and trends, and a strong economy have made this possible. Yet, as these factors shift and market sentiment changes, those companies can face challenges.
Companies looking for long-term success in this industry need to take the time and patience to build a product or service that truly adds value to the space, educate the crypto-curious, and help the crypto-enthusiasts shift their focus from short-term returns to long-term success, which entails sometimes making seemingly counter-intuitive decisions. Being clear on their value proposition and creating true utility is key to building a strong foundation and being highly competitive in the long-term.
What are the 3 things that most excite you about the blockchain industry in general? Why?
Dr. Chengdiao Fan:
The idea that we are revolutionizing the monetary system.
The ability to align interests at a massive scale, and then incentive and mobilize people to achieve something great collectively.
The fact that blockchain is giving rise to new innovative applications and experiences online as we move more firmly into a Web3 world.
Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis:The idea that smart money is now embedded with financial functions.
The possibility of the world as one large community will create useful case studies.
The fact that we are at the very beginnings of this revolution. Similar to the advent of the internet, which few people understood at first, but now can’t live without.
What are the 3 things that worry you about the blockchain industry? Why?Dr. Chengdiao Fan and Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis:
Token distribution: While one major property of blockchain is decentralization, the attention to “decentralization” has been mostly focused on the technical aspect — run on a distributed system, less to the distribution itself, barrier to entry or the value capturing mechanism. Only a wide distribution of tokens can effectively help bootstrap a utility-based ecosystem and help us hit the inflection point where blockchain empowered systems can have mass adoption. Eighty percent of Pi tokens are given to the community and network. Everyone can mine Pi without paying any fiat money by making diverse contributions to the network. Pi tries to achieve and maintain a wide distribution through its mining mechanism and ecosystem building.
Accessibility: Accessibility is affected by financial, technical and knowledge barriers to entry, use and participation, and affects the distribution. To achieve accessibility, we need to come up with solutions to tackle those barriers in every step of people’s involvement in the network, including cost to mine or obtain tokens, user-friendly and intuitive interfaces, user education and community building. Energy-light mining on the mobile phone app for free has allowed Pi to grow to over 35 million community members with our cryptocurrency in hand while making their contribution to the network.
Simplicity in developer experience + user access: Blockchain technology doesn’t have to be complicated. Our Javascript software development kit (SDK) integrates with the blockchain and various APIs provide basic functionalities for apps. No crypto/blockchain experience is necessary for any developers to provide their services to a large vibrant crypto-enabled community.
Ok, thank you for all of that. Here is the main question of our interview. Can you please share “5 Things That Can Be Done To Improve and Reform The Cryptocurrency Industry”? If you can please share a story or example for each.Dr. Chengdiao Fan & Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis:
Many early cryptocurrencies have seen a consolidation of power and value into the hands of very few, and early adopters are greatly advantaged. In order to fulfill the promise of a fair and open peer-to-peer decentralized financial system, the cryptocurrency industry needs to see widely distributed tokens across broad networks. The extreme concentration of wealth and power goes directly against the concept of decentralization.
Cryptocurrencies are not currently widely used as a medium of exchange, due to many factors. Among them are price volatility and lack of utility. Creating a utilities-based ecosystem, where cryptocurrency can be widely used and regularly exchanged for goods and services through apps, will help solve this, and bring use to crypto beyond a store of value.
Computationally-complex mining protocols, like Proof of Work, require huge amounts of energy. Cryptocurrencies reliant on such protocols burn a tremendous amount of electricity and therefore place a great burden on the environment. The industry should look to minimize its negative environmental impact by using less energy-intensive consensus protocols.
The novelty of blockchain technology and decentralized networks exposes challenges to the world with regulations still tailored for traditional businesses and to the industry overall as many projects, good and bad, explore its direction. Stricter adherence to current policies and regulations, and greater clarity on future regulations, would greatly benefit the industry.
In order for the cryptocurrency industry to impact lives across the globe, it needs to be far more accessible. This includes lower barriers to entry, broader education about the industry and technology, and more accessible and user-friendly design.
