船长：大家好啊，欢迎参加今天由BlockArk在Uniswap中文社区举办的AMA，我是今天的主持人Warren船长，BlockArk联合创始人。同时感谢星球日报、链闻、区块律动、加密阁对本次活动的支持。

在活动开始前容我先简单介绍下BlockArk。BlockArk是一家加密资产行业的投资银行与市场营销机构，旗下管理专注加密货币一二级基金ArkStream Capital。BlockArk集投资、品牌、市场增长、战略咨询为一体，致力于推动Web3.0的独角兽们成长。

今天AMA的主题是“定义真正的去中心化预言机，Razor Network如何异军突起”，嘉宾是Razor Network的创始人兼CEO， Hrishikesh。那先让Hrishikesh给大家打个招呼吧。

Hrishikesh：Hi,everyone, I am Hrishikesh. The founder and CEO of Razor network.I have worked in various positions such as data scientist and product manager before discovering Bitcoin and Ethereum at the end of 2015. I found the technology fascinating and decided to work as a blockchain developer in this field in 2016. I have worked with various companies as a blockchain developer including ConsenSys. I have made open source contributions to projects such as the Ethereum and Raiden network.

大家好，我是Hrishikesh。 Razor网络的创始人兼首席执行官。

在2015年底发现比特币和以太坊之前，我曾是数据科学家和产品经理。我发现该技术令人着迷，并决定在2016年作为该领域的区块链开发人员。我曾与多家公司合作， 包括ConsenSys在内的区块链开发商。 我为以太坊和Raiden网络等项目做出了开源贡献。

船长：好的，感谢Hrishikesh的介绍，开始之前，容我来说下今天AMA的流程。今天的AMA活动分为两个阶段，第一个阶段为主题问答，我会提出8个提前准备好的问题，以一问一答的形式进行。8个问题结束后，会进入第二个阶段，自由问答。群友可以对嘉宾自由提问，我们会帮助群友翻译成英文并发给嘉宾，嘉宾自由选择其中3-5个问题进行回答。

船长：Hrishikesh，在开始之前，用一句话来介绍下Razor Network吧。

Hrishikesh：Razor Network is a blockchain agnostic decentralized oracle network with a focus on Maximum game-theoretical security, complete decentralization, and being fully permissionless. Razor achieves this while still being fast and practical for Decentralized Finance. Razor network uses a sliding court mechanism where any result of the oracle can be disputed iteratively. This can thwart any attack that can happen on the oracle.

Razor Network：Razor Network是一个兼容多个区块链网络的去中心化预言机网络，专注于最大游戏理论安全性，完全去中心化以及完全无需许可。 Razor做到了这一点，同时对于去中心化金融仍然是快速而实用的。 Razor Network使用滑动计算机制，在该机制中，可对预言机的任何结果进行迭代式争议。 这可以阻止可能在预言机上发生的任何攻击。

Razor is blockchain agnostic and will be integrated with many blockchains. We have partnered with many blockchains such as Matic Network, SKALE, Conflux, Persistence, Moonbeam, Polkadot, etc. We will be announcing more blockchain integrations soon.

Razor并将与多个区块链网络兼容。 我们已经与许多区块链合作，例如Matic Network，SKALE，Conflux，Persistence，Moonbeam，Polkadot等。我们将很快宣布更多的区块链集成。

船长：Ok, then the questioning session of our AMA has officially started.The rise of DeFi is closely related to oracles. Almost all DeFi products use oracles to pass off-chain data to the chain. What was the original intention of Razor Network to choose the oracle track? What is your vision for the future?

好的，那我们AMA的提问环节正式开始。第一个问题，DeFi的崛起和预言机息息相关，几乎所有的DeFi产品都预言机把链下数据传递给链上。Razor Network选择预言机这个赛道的初衷是什么？项目的愿景是什么？

Hrishikesh：In early 2019, I was exploring real-world applications of blockchain. At that time DeFi was in very early stages but was slowly proving to be a promising use-case.But as I did more research I quickly realized space was limited due to the centralized nature of the oracles used. This will always be a limiting factor of DeFi unless the oracle problem is solved.

在2019年初，我正在探索区块链的实际应用。 当时，DeFi尚处于初期阶段，但慢慢被证明是一个很有前途的应用。但是，当我进行更多研究时，我很快意识到由于所使用的预言机的集中性，其空间是有限的。 除非解决了预言机问题，否则这将始终是DeFi的限制因素。

The Oracle problem is a very well known and notoriously difficult problem. I loved the challenging nature of the problem and started designing and analyzing different mechanisms for a fully decentralized and secure oracle.

预言机问题是一个众所周知的难题。 我喜欢这个具有挑战性的难题，因此开始设计和分析用于完全去中心化和安全的预言机的不同机制。

Over the period of two years, we continued the research and development of Razor to make it the most robust, secure, and fast oracle network.Razor network is important and it will solve this problem by offering a fully decentralized, permissionless secure, and fast oracle.

在两年的时间里，我们继续研发Razor，使其成为最健壮，安全和快速的预言机网络。Razor 网络很重要，它将通过提供完全去中心化，无需许可的安全且快速的预言机来解决此问题。

船长：Okay, thanks for the answer. You have mentioned other oracle products on the market,Chainlink, the leader of the oracle track, has become the focus of the market with its rapidly growing market cap in 2020. At the same time, there are a series of price oracle products such as Band Protocol, Nest, and Trellor. How is Razor Network's solution different from these projects? How to stand out?

好的，感谢回答。你已经提到了市场上的其他预言机产品，预言机赛道的龙头Chainlink在2020年以飞速成长的市值成为了市场的焦点，同时市场上还有Band Protocol，Nest，Trellor等一系列价格预言机产品，可谓竞争激烈，接下来的问题是，Razor Network的解决方案和这些项目有何不同？如何脱颖而出？

Hrishikesh：We don't like to compare ourselves with any other similar project. We are looking for a long term vision for the entire industry. However, let me share our vision...

我们不喜欢将自己与其他任何类似项目进行比较。 我们正在寻找整个行业的长期愿景。 但是，让我分享我们的愿景...

Decentralization is an important goal of the network. This is because centralization puts a high amount of power in a small group of entities, which makes a lot of attacks feasible and jeopardizes the trustworthiness of the protocol.

去中心化是我们的重要目标。 这是因为中心化会使一小群团体拥有大量权力，这使许多攻击变得游刃有余，并且损害了协议的可信赖性。

The Razor network is fully decentralized and does not have centralized bottlenecks. Anyone can become a validator in Razor by staking RAZOR tokens. It does not require permission from us or anyone else.

Razor网络是完全去中心化的，没有集中的瓶颈。 通过抵押RAZOR代币，任何人都可以成为Razor中的验证者。 它不需要我们或任何其他人的许可。

Here are the key points to note:

1. Razor is Truly decentralized and permissionless

2. It is the Only oracle to offer Fast AND Secure results

3. It has the Flexibility to request results in an automated and manual fashion

4. Razor is Game theoretically sound and resistant to collusion, bribing, Sybil, and censorship attacks

5. It is blockchain agnostic and supports multiple blockchains

以下是几个值得注意的关键点：

1.Razor网络确实是去中心化的，无需许可的

2.这是唯一提供快速和安全结果的预言机

3.它具有灵活性，可以自动和手动方式请求结果

4. Razor在理论上是合理的，并且可以抵抗串通，贿赂，Sybil和审查攻击

5.它支持并兼容多个区块链网络

船长：You just talked about the long-term vision of the entire industry, indeed, in our opinion，if we simply define the function of the oracle as a price quotation, this definition seems incomplete. In contrast, some blockchain projects that focus more on data interaction are more comparable, such as API3 which allows data providers to be nodes, the Graph which transmits the on-chain data to off-chain. What are the advantages of Razor Network compared with those projects?

你刚刚说到整个行业的长期愿景，确实，在我们看来，如果我们把预言机的功能简单定义为报价，似乎有些单一，相比之下，有一些更加专注于数据交互的区块链项目更加有可比性，比如让数据提供商作为节点的API3，把链上数据传输到链下的The Graph，和他们相比，Razor Network又有哪些优势？

Hrishikesh：Razor network is fully permissionless. That means anyone can run node and be a staker.

Razor 网络是完全无需许可的。 这意味着任何人都可以运行节点并成为抵押者。

Razor network is a general purpose oracle. That means any data can be fetched from offchain using Razor, not just pricefeeds.

Razor网络是通用的预言机。 这意味着可以使用Razor从链外获取任何数据，而不仅仅是报价。

Razor can also fetch Text data which is required for the prediction market. E.g. you can ask Razor a question like “Who won the election?” and Razor network can answer this query for you.

Razor还可以获取预测市场所需的文本数据。 例如。 您可以问Razor这样的问题：“谁赢得了选举？” Razor网络可以为您回答此查询。

船长：Ok, so it looks like it's back to what Augur wants to achieve, not just a quote.

好的，这样看来重新回到了Augur想要实现的目标，而不是仅限于报价。

船长：Does Razor Network have its own consensus mechanism? How to run the node? What kind of rewards for being a node?

有自己的共识机制吗？如何才能运行节点？作为节点会有什么样的奖励？

Hrishikesh：Proof of stake is the core consensus mechanism of Razor Network. Proof of stake allows Razor to achieve the following goals:

1、Proof of stake provides Sybil attack resistance. This is because becoming a validator requires staking tokens and doing that without owning tokens is not possible.

2、The algorithm rewards honest validators with new tokens. This incentivizes the validators to behave honestly and report valid data.

3、Dishonest/incoherent validators are penalized and their stake is reduced. This disincentivizes bad behavior. A part of the tokens collected as a penalty is distributed to honest stakers, further incentivizing honest behavior.

POS是Razor Network的核心共识机制。 POS使Razor可以实现以下目标：

1、POS提供了Sybil的攻击抵抗力。 这是因为成为验证者需要对代币进行抵押，而在没有所有权的情况下这样做是不可能的。

2、该算法使用新代币奖励诚实的验证者。 这激励了验证者诚实行事并报告有效数据。

3、不诚实/不连贯的验证者将受到处罚，并减少了他们的质押。 这可以消除不良行为。 收集的一部分代币作为罚金分配给诚实的质押者，进一步激励了诚实的行为。

Running a node will be very easy and will not require powerful hardware. We will release the guide about it on our website.Anyone can run a node. For running a node, stakers will earn staking rewards. 40% of the token supply will be awarded to stakers.

运行节点非常容易，不需要强大的硬件。 我们将在我们的网站上发布有关它的指南。任何人都可以运行节点。 对于运行节点，质押者将获得质押奖励。 代币供应量的40％将奖励给质押者。

船长：As we can see that Razor Network will carry the oracle on an Ethereum compatible blockchain, and Razor Network cooperates with Matic, Skale and other Layer 2 projects. This makes me a little puzzled that what is Razor Network equipped above? Will Razor Network provide Layer 2 solutions? Is it possible to use Razor Network as long as it supports EVM?

看到Razor会把预言机搭载于 兼容以太坊的网络，也看到了Razor和Matic，Skale这样的Layer2项目进行了合作，这让我有些疑惑，Razor本身究竟是搭载于谁之上的？Razor自己会提供Layer2的解决方案吗？还是说，只要支持EVM，就能使用Razor？

Hrishikesh：Razor network will support any blockchain that supports EVM. We will also support some blockchains that do not support EVM.?We will not provide our own Layer 2 solution but use our partners Layer 2 solutions and blockchains.

Razor网络将支持任何支持EVM的区块链。 我们还将支持一些不支持EVM的区块链。我们不会提供自己的第二层解决方案，而是使用我们的合作伙伴第二层解决方案和区块链。

We have already partnered with multiple blockchains such as Matic network, SKALE, Meter, Conflux, Moonbeam, Polkadot, etc.

我们已经与多个区块链合作，例如Matic，SKALE，Meter，Conflux，Moonbeam，Polkadot等。

船长：Okay, the questions just now mainly focus on the product level. Next we will ask some token and market related questions.

好的，刚刚的问题主要集中在产品层面，接下来我们问一些token和市场相关的问题。

船长：Could you please tell us about Razor's token economic system and its value increased logic? In addition to staking as a node, what are other uses of Razor's tokens? Do users, or DeFi developers, need to pay with tokens If they want to use the data provided by the Razor oracle?

能否给我们讲讲Razor的代币经济体系及其升值逻辑？除了质押作为节点外， Razor的代币还有哪些用途？如果想要使用Razor预言机提供的数据，用户，或者说DeFi的开发者，需要支付代币吗？

Hrishikesh：The native utility token of Razor Network is RAZOR. Validators have to stake RAZOR tokens in order to be eligible to be elected as a validator. RAZOR token may also be used for governance of the protocol in the future.

Razor Network的原始功能性代币为RAZOR。 验证者必须质押RAZOR，才有资格被选为验证者。 RAZOR将来也可能用于协议的管理。

可以在这里找到RAZOR代币经济https://medium.com/razor-network/razor-network-tokenomics-476933cfaaf9

船长：Ok, I will cut two pictures for everyone to see.

好的，我截两张图给大家看下。

船长：How do you plan to build your ecology? Chainlink’s success is not that they are fighting alone. They have grown together with AAVE and Synthetix, which have become industry leaders. In the future ecological development, which type of product will you cooperate with?

你们计划如何打造你们的生态？Link的成功并非他们孤军奋战，与其共同成长的还有AAVE，Synthetix这样一些成为了行业龙头的项目，你们在未来的生态发展上，会着重与偏向哪种类型的产品合作？

Hrishikesh：Razor Network will not only target applications on the Ethereum mainnet, but we have also partnered with multiple L1 and L2 chains to offer a fully decentralized oracle on their platform.

Razor Network将不仅针对以太坊主网上的应用程序，而且我们还与多个L1和L2链合作，以在其平台上提供完全去中心化的oracle。

We have partnered with many exciting projects. Our currently announced partners are as follows:

Matic, SKALE, MantraDAO, Meter.io, Persistence, XDC network, OpenDeFi,? Conflux network, Sentinel, Dafi, Moonbeam.

我们与许多令人兴奋的项目合作。 我们目前宣布的合作伙伴如下：

Matic，SKALE，MantraDAO，Meter.io，Persistence，XDC，OpenDeFi，Conflux，Sentinel，Dafi，Moonbeam。

We have many more partnerships planned in near future. Stay tuned for the announcements!

我们计划在不久的将来建立更多的合作伙伴关系。 请继续关注公告！

船长：Last but not least, could you please tell us about your team and roadmap. What are your plans for 2021?

最后为我们聊聊你们的团队和路线图吧，2021年有什么样的计划？

Hrishikesh：We have about 9 team members currently. Our extended team including interns is almost 20 members strong and we are looking to add more team members!

目前我们大约有9名团队成员。 我们包括实习生在内的扩展团队将近有20名成员，我们正在寻求增加更多团队成员！

We have a few key milestones planned for 2021, our latest Milestone is our Public Sale which is starting on 4 February 1 PM UTC, You can read more about it here - https://medium.com/razor-network/announcing-razor-networks-public-sale-round-on-balancer-a4a8d641f16b

我们计划在2021年实现一些重要的里程碑，我们最新的里程碑是我们的公募，该拍卖将于2月4日晚上8点开始，您可以在此处了解更多信息

We are also targeting the incentivised testnet this Quarter with Mainnet release soon after that in early Q2.

我们还将本季度针对激励性测试网，并在第二季度初不久推出主网。

In Q4 we will release the second version with dispute resolution and manual queries features.

在第四季度，我们将发布具有争议解决和手动查询功能的第二个版本。

【自由问答环节】

问：What do you think is the ceiling of the oracle? The market value of LINK is now close to 10 billion US dollars. Is it possible for Razor to reach this level?

你认为预言机的天花板是多少估值？现在LINK的市值接近100亿美金，Razor有可能达到这个水平吗？

Hrishikesh：The DeFi space already has 27B dollars of value locked and still rising steadily https://defipulse.com/

DeFi领域已经锁定了270亿美元的价值，并且仍在稳定增长https://defipulse.com/

I think there is a lot of space for Oracle market. I think some of the oracles are overvalued as they do not offer properties of decentralization, security, permissionless, multi-blockchain usecase, etc. These properties are offered by Razor Network, which will help us stand out and gain value rapidly.

我认为预言机市场还有很多空间。 我认为某些预言机被高估了，因为它们不提供去中心化，安全性，无许可，多区块链用例等属性。这些属性由Razor Network提供，这将帮助我们脱颖而出并迅速获得价值。

问：I saw that you said that you have cooperated with Polkadot, but you did not develop it based on substrate, right? What is the specific cooperation content?

我看到你们说已经和波卡有合作，但你们不是基于substrate开发的吧？具体合作的内容是什么？

Hrishikesh：We have partnership with Moonbeam https://medium.com/razor-network/razor-network-integrates-its-decentralized-oracle-systems-on-moonbeam-network-3fa16cf3250c

我们与Moonbeam合作https://medium.com/razor-network/razor-network-integrates-its-decentralized-oracle-systems-on-moonbeam-network-3fa16cf3250c

Moonbeam is a parachain on Polkadot. We will integrate our oracle on Moonbeam. In this way, we can integrate deploy our solution on Polkadot and make our oracle available for all applications on Polkadot.

Moonbeam是Polkadot上的平行链。 我们将把预言机集成到Moonbeam上。 这样，我们可以在Polkadot上集成部署解决方案，并使oracle可用于Polkadot上的所有应用程序。

问：Will you have liquidity mining? Will you launch RAZOR on balancer or uniswap after LBP? The balancer's trading experience is too bad, please don't use it.

你们会有流动性挖矿吗？LBP后会上线balancer还是uniswap？balancer的交易体验太垃圾了，千万别上

Hrishikesh：We are planning to have liquidity mining on multiple decentralized exchanges. We will announce it soon.We will be launching on uniswap right after public sale.

我们计划在多个去中心化交易所进行流动性挖矿 。 我们将尽快宣布。公募后，我们将上线uniswap。

问：What is the punishment mechanism? What circumstances will the pledged tokens be fined?

惩罚机制是什么？什么情况下质押的代币会被罚没？

Hrishikesh：The validators who fail to maintain the following conditions may be penalized.

1. Make sure the node is online

2. Report data coherently (honestly)

未能保持以下条件的验证者可能会受到处罚。

1.确保节点在线

2.连贯（诚实地）报告数据

If it is proven that the validator is acting in a malicious way, some of their stake will be reduced and rewarded to other honest stakers. In this manner, they are penalized.

如果证明验证者的行为是恶意的，则他们的部分质押将减少并奖励给其他诚实的质押者。 以这种方式，他们受到惩罚。

问：The starting price of RAZOR is $0.53. Why is the final price of $0.025 rising gradually?

RAZOR起始价格是0.53U 为什么最终价格是0.025U 不是逐步上升吗?

Hrishikesh：The price will start at $0.53. We have deliberately chosen a very high starting price assuming no one will buy at this point. This will prevent bots from buying all the tokens.The price will slowly decrease towards private sale price of $0.025. However, as people buy the tokens, it can push the price up.

价格将从0.53美元起。假设目前没有人购买，我们特意选择了很高的起拍价。 这将防止机器人购买所有代币。价格将逐渐朝着私募售价$ 0.025下降。但是，随着人们购买代币，它可能会推高价格。

We have chosen this design so that everyone can have equal and fair chance to buy token and bots do not have an advantage. Also the gas price will not go too high because of this design.

我们选择这种设计是为了使每个人都有平等公平的购买代币的机会，而机器人则没有优势。 同样由于这种设计，gas不会太高。

船长：好的，由于时间关系，我们今天的AMA就到这里结束了，再次感谢Hrishikesh的分享，有关Razor Network的其他问题，可以去官网了解：https://razor.network/。
