本期项目：RSK

活动时间：5月9日20:00

RSK：Extend Bitcoin Ecosystem capabilities to support Smart Contracts. In RSK's vision，Bitcoin was the cornerstone for a new Internet for the transfer of value.

RSK的目标是扩展比特币生态系统能力，以支持智能合约。在RSK看来，比特币是新的价值转移互联网的基石。

以下为中英双语互动文字整理版：

TokenGazer Researcher Tiger：What is the relationship between RSK Labs, RIF Labs, and IOV Labs? Can you tell us something about their history?

Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar ¦ RSK：As part of the process of building RSK which went live in 2018 and today is the safest Smart Contract platform in the world we realized that in order to create this Internet of Value and the financial system of the future we needed additional services (Data Storage, Name Services, Faster Payment Processing, etc.) so we decided to create a spinoff company called RIF Labs in 2017. In 2018 we realized that the best way to achieve our vision was to merge both companies, RSK Labs & RIF Labs, what we did in November last year and the combination of both companies gave birth to IOV Labs the organization that will continue to develop both RSK & RIF Platforms and the combined Ecosystem.

TokenGazer 研究员 Tiger：RSK Labs、RIF Labs、IOV Labs 之间的关系是怎样的？可以跟我们聊一聊它们的历史吗？

Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar 吴明洋 ¦ RSK：RSK 在2018年上线, 如今是世界上最安全的智能合约平台，我们意识到，为了创建这个价值互联网和未来的金融系统，我们需要更多的服务（数据存储，命名服务，更快的支付处理等）。所以我们决定在2017年创建一家名为 RIF Labs 的衍生公司。2018年，我们意识到，实现我们愿景的最佳途径是合并 RSK 实验室和 RIF 实验室，已在去年11月完成。这两家公司的合并催生了 IOV 实验室，将继续开发 RSK & RIF 平台和合并后的生态系统。

TokenGazer Researcher Tiger：Unlike other merged mining projects with coinbase rewards, such as Namecoin and Dogecoin, RSK only rewards its miners with transaction fees, which is not very attractive if we take RSK's transaction volume into consideration. So will you have a promotion plan for emerged mining?

Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar ¦ RSK：That's correct, indeed we are starting a new RSK incentive program based on smart contracts that will include RIF tokens but to which any project willing support RSK can contribute. This will mimic the initial subsidy that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies had through minting of new currencies. In a way RSK is testing sustainability models that will serve Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies as in a few years most of them will have to survive only based on fees as well.

TokenGazer Researcher Tiger：RSK incentive program, sounds very interesting. Could you tell us some details?

Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar ¦ RSK：Yes, it is a Smart Contract where donors can send smart Bitcoins (RBTC) or any token to incentivize the miners. The tokens then are distributed over time to miners based on their hashing power contribution. The first donor will be IOV Labs who will contribute RIF tokens to the pool.

TokenGazer 研究员 Tiger：RSK 不像其他联合挖矿的项目，如 Namecoin、Dogecoin 那样有额外的 Coinbase 挖矿奖励，只有交易费用方面的奖励，但是根据目前 RSK 链上的交易量，这个激励似乎并不强，RSK 是否需要对联合挖矿有相应的推广计划？

Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar 吴明洋 ¦ RSK：对的，实际上，我们正在启动一个新的基于智能合约的 RSK 激励计划，将包括 RIF 通证，但任何愿意支持 RSK 的项目都可以作出贡献。这将模仿比特币和其他加密货币通过创造新代币而获得初始补贴。RSK 正在测试可持续模型，该模型将服务于比特币和所有加密货币，因为在几年内，它们中的大多数将不得不仅仅依靠交易手续费生存。

TokenGazer 研究员 Tiger：RSK 激励计划听起来很有趣，可以详细讲讲吗？

Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar 吴明洋 ¦ RSK：该智能合约可以让捐赠者发送 Smart Bitcoins（RBTC）或任何代币来激励矿工。然后根据矿工们的算力贡献，这些代币会逐渐分配给他们。第一个捐献者将是 IOV 实验室，将捐赠 RIF 到激励池。

TokenGazer Community：What functions does RSK implement at present?

Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar ¦ RSK：RSK currently supports the execution of any Smart Contract written in Solidity but we are in the process of integrating the Aion VM to also support Java Smart Contracts. From an API perspective RSK supports all the Web3 & RPC interfaces that Ethereum has so any project running on an Ethereum compatible blockchain can be ported to run on RSK without modification and be secured by the Bitcoin Network

TokenGazer 社区成员 煎饼：RSK 目前具备哪些功能？

Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar 吴明洋 ¦ RSK：RSK 目前支持在 Solidity 中编写的任何智能合约的执行，但是我们正在集成 Aion VM 的过程中，以支持 Java 智能合约。从 API 角度来看，RSK 支持 Ethereum 拥有的所有 Web3 & RPC 接口，因此任何运行在兼容 Ethereum 区块链上的项目都可以移植到 RSK 上运行，而无需修改，并得到比特币网络的保护。

TokenGazer Researcher Tiger：At present, the RSK merge-mining growth has left behind its bootstrapping phase and reached the stable phase with its hashrate accounting for more than 40% of Bitcoin's hashrate, more secure than in the past. But in theory RSK is still less secure than Bitcoin system due to its incentive mechanism. So here's the question: How does Bitcoin's hashrate distribution affect the security of RSK? And how is this part of Bitcoin hashrate distributed? Does the RSK have any precautions against the 51% attack caused by potential hashrate centralization problems?

Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar ¦ RSK：Mining decentralization in Bitcoin has improved over the years and in the case of the hashrate merge-mining RSK we have good diversity. Even thou RSK is the most secure smart contract platform in the world thanks to its current hashing power, fluctuating between 30% and 48% of the Bitcoin Network, still as long as we have less than 65% of the hashing power we are at risk of being attacked by the miners not participating in the merge-mining process. To improve this situation our research & development teams have created a system called Armadillo, soon to be deployed, that enable RSK nodes to detect and protect from this attack making them extremely costly on the Bitcoin side.

TokenGazer 研究员 Tiger：目前 RSK 联合挖矿虽然已经到过了自举阶段到达了稳定阶段，哈希率占比特币总算力的40%以上，比过去更安全，但理论上由于激励等方面的原因它的安全性仍距比特币有一定的差距。针对算力，我们的问题是，这40%来自比特币的算力自身的组成成份对 RSK 的安全有着怎样的影响？具体的算力分布是怎样的？针对可能出现的算力集中的现象，RSK 是否有51%攻击的防范措施？

Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar 吴明洋 ¦ RSK：随着时间的推移，比特币挖矿去中心化程度不断提高，在算力合并挖掘的情况下，我们拥有良好的多样性。因为我们有比特币网络30%到48%的算力，RSK 目前是全球最安全的智能合约平台。但是只要我们的算力不到65%，我们就有可能被没有参与合并挖矿的矿工攻击。为了改善这种情况，我们的研发团队创建了一个名为 Armadillo 的系统，即将部署。该系统使比特币矿工的攻击成本极其高昂，从而保护节点免受51%攻击。
