“染色币”这三个字，已经是币圈十几年的夙愿。
The word “chromatic currency” has been the wish of the currency ring for more than a decade.
染色币最早是在2012年左右被提出的，最早，人们只是希望试着把一些信息附加在比特币只上，使得它能够用来代表一些BTC之外的虚拟资产或现实资产。
The dye currency was first proposed around 2012 and the first was simply to try to attach some information to bitcoin, so that it could be used to represent virtual or real assets other than some BTC.
那个时期，是山寨币（Altcoin）开始出头的日子。我们看到的是大量新币发现，最终这些币的大部分又淡出了历史，说难听点就是归零了。
That period was the beginning of Altcoin. We saw a lot of new currency discovery, and eventually most of it faded out of history, and the hard part was zero.
染色，是一种把比特币进行标记的方案，在不发行任何额外代币的前提下，围绕比特币而生，从而提供更多不同资产的价值载体。从某种角度来说，染色币其实是“Crypto命运共同体”的表现形式，比特币兴，则染色币必兴。
Colour is a formula to mark bitcoin, born around bitcoin without issuing any additional tokens, thereby providing a more valuable vehicle for different assets. From a certain point of view, dye is actually the expression of the “Crypto Destiny Community,” and bitcoin flourishes, and the color coins rises.
但是十几年来，染色币没有真正面世过。
But for more than a decade, dyed coins have not really passed away.
最大的原因是比特币主网的局限性。当人们看到以太坊可以快速构建生态，实现商业模式闭环，染色币在屡屡碰壁后也就无人问津了。
The biggest reason for this is the limitations of the Bitcoin main network. When people see that the Etherms can quickly construct ecology and close their business models, the dyed coins are left untouched.
从人们在比特币上第一次思考如何把同质化的BTC标记为不同的染色聪（Colored Satoshi），这种“标记”的尝试渐渐让人们意识到了将资产发行到区块链上的巨大潜力。包括日后的NFT，其实也有染色币想法的影子。
From the first time in Bitcoin that people think about how to label a homogenous BTC as a different colored hearing (Colored Satoshi), the attempt to “mark” has gradually made people realize the great potential to distribute assets to the block chain. Including future NFTs, there is a shadow of dyed currency thinking.
比特币构建生态行不通，以太坊本身就有发币方式了，于是染色币淡出历史，随之更多资产上链的尝试开始萌芽。
Bitcoin was not an ecologically viable option, and the Tai Po itself had its currency in its own form, so the attempt to dye the currency out of history began to develop more asset chains.
似乎一切都在向好发展，那人们已经不需要比特币上的生态了吗？
It seems everything's going well. Don't people need any more ecology on Bitcoin?

十余年间，原教旨主义者和核心OG们的极度保守，让比特币迟迟没有出现转型的契机。直到今天，很多人依然认为所谓的“比特币生态”，不过是让比特币网络更拥堵的炒作垃圾。
For more than a decade, fundamentalists and core OGs were extremely conservative, delaying Bitcoin’s chances of transformation. To this day, many people still think of the so-called “bitcoin ecology” as nothing more than a slurring of Bitcoin’s network.
但环境，已经在悄然变化了。比特币生态的集中爆发还是这两年的事。
But the environment is already changing. Bitcoin eco-concentration is still two years old.
比特币每隔段时间就会更新一次（网络软分叉），通过集体意志的改进提案（BIPs），为比特币引入新的功能和拓展。这些年的比特币集体意志，正在慢慢放下保守成见。越来越多的提案正在走向开放、灵活、自由。
Bitcoin will be updated every once in a while (web-soft fork) to introduce new functionality and outreach to Bitcoin through a proposal for the improvement of collective will (BIPs). The Bitcoin collective will of these years is slowly putting down conservative stereotypes. More and more proposals are moving towards openness, flexibility, and freedom.
21年底的Taproot升级让一定范围内的创新成为了可能，于是我们见证了2022-2023年的一层协议大爆发。这些协议真的是来给比特币添堵的吗？我觉得，比特币能有让他们诞生的土壤，那么其出现就是理所应当的。
The Taproot upgrade at the end of 21 made a range of innovations possible, so we witnessed the explosion of a layer of agreements in 2022-2023. Are they really here to block bitcoin? I think that strong can have the soil to give them birth, so it's just right.
人们的目光再次聚焦到了比特币上，比特币能不能有生态？比特币该不该有生态？比特币会有和应有什么样生态？在质疑之中，头部协议Ordinals已经创下了数十亿美金的市值。
Once again, people focus their eyes on bitcoin, can bitcoin have an ecology? Should bitcoin have an ecology? What could bitcoin have an ecology? In question, the head deal Ordinals has created billions of dollars in market value.

现在，比特币开始有生态了。趋势有了，土壤有了，正逢天时地利，2023年下半年，一位匿名开发者（代称：Arthur）创造了开源的Atomicals协议。
Now, Bitcoin is beginning to have an ecology. And here's the trend. The soil is now at stake. In the second half of 2023, an anonymous developer (known as Arthur) created the Open Source Atomicals Agreement.
协议中对于ARC20染色币标准做出了这样的定义：?
The ARC20 colour currency standard is defined as follows:
“
# 比特币的最小货币单位“聪”作为价值锚定基础，催生了一种同质化染色币标准，其中每个代币等价于1聪（即比特币的亿分之一，或0.00000001 BTC）。
# The smallest currency unit of Bitcoin, “Hear”, as the basis for value anchoring, has created a standard of homogenous dyeing, in which the equivalent value of each currency is 1 hearing (i.e. one-billion cent of Bitcoin, or 0.000001 BTC).
# Atomicals 协议提供了一种在比特币区块链上表示同质化代币资产的有效方法。借助 ARC-20 同质化代币标准，染色币技术得以应用于比特币生态，其中每个代币单位都由一个聪代表，从而确立了代币所有权的度量单位。因此，每个代币单位的价值至少等同于1聪，为代币价值提供了“数字含金量”。这保证了按照定义，每个代币的价值不会低于1聪。
#Atomicals provides an effective way to express homogenous monetic assets on the Bitcoin block chain. Using the ARC-20 standard of homogenization, the dye currency technique is applied to the Bitcoin ecology, in which each of the units is represented by a deaf person, thus establishing a unit of measure for the ownership of the coin. Thus, the value of each currency unit is equal to at least one hearing, providing a “digital amount of gold” for the monetic value. This ensures, by definition, that the value of each currency is not less than one.
# ARC-20 利用比特币的原生聪单位来代表每个代币，允许这些代币像普通比特币那样进行分割和组合。任何人都可以铸造 ARC-20 代币，并将其转移至任何比特币地址，适用于支持 UTXO 选择的钱包，例如Sparrow钱包。代币的发行方式包括直接发行和去中心化发行。
# ARC-20 uses Bitcoin's original hearing units to represent each currency, allowing it to be split and combined like the normal bitcoin. Anyone can cast ARC-20 coins and transfer them to any bitcoin address that supports UTXO's wallets, such as Sparrow's wallets.
”
目光回到了染色币，这个十几年前的夙愿，能被再一次点燃吗？
Look back at the colored coins. Can this wish, which was ten years ago, be lit again?
有人问：既然外面其他链都不需要染色币，为什么比特币上就需要染色币呢？
The question was asked, "Why does it need to be dyed on bitcoins, since there are no other chains out there?
比特币并没有任何原生的发币方式。不像以太坊和Solana上一键创建代币合约，我们没有合约、亦没有代币。整个比特币生态依然是一片开拓中的荒土。而生态最终能成为生态，它反映出来的现象是得有大量能承载资金的标的。
Bitcoin has no original form of currency. Unlike creating a token contract with Taiwan and Solana, we do not have a contract or a token. The entire Bitcoin ecology is still an open wasteland.
肉眼可见，这两年各种“*RC-20”遍地开花，铭文、符文也应运而生。什么样的发币方式才是最适合比特币生态的？人们在探索。殊不知十几年前的OG们已经给过一次答案了。
The naked eye can see that the *RC-20s of these two years have bloomed everywhere, and that the inscriptions and the symbols are born. What currency is best for Bitcoin ecology? People are exploring it. It's not clear that the OGs have given one answer a decade ago.
比特币的出发点一直是价值存储，而染色币所代表的“代币命运共同体”正完全符合价值存储的初衷，我们不在比特币上制造垃圾，而是把每一枚比特币、每一个聪变得独具价值。染色币的模式最终实现了赋能比特币。
Bitcoin's starting point has always been value storage, and the “demons' destinies” represented by dyes are exactly what they were meant to be. We don't make garbage on bitcoins, but we make every bitcoins, every hearing, unique. The dyed currency model eventually gives Bitcoins.
哪些聪，只值1聪（它本身）？哪些聪能值100聪？哪些聪又能值10000聪？在比特币之内的币圈由此建立。
Which are the ears, but only one? Which are the ears, 100? Which are the ears, 10,000?
在这个生态论资产发行，比特币需要染色币。
In this ecological asset issue, bitcoin needs colored currency.
但与其说发币方式，不如把“染色币”称为一种标记方法，Atomicals协议提供的这种“染色”方法，催生出了ARC-20标准。
However, rather than the way in which the currency is issued, it would be better to refer to “chromatic currency” as a marking method, which the Atomicals agreement provides for, giving rise to the ARC-20 standard.
更大的愿景在后面，“染色+去染色”是比特币应用生态的0和1，AVM将会是未来比特币一层应用发展的正道坦途。比特币不仅需要染色币，更需要“染色”方法本身。
The larger vision lies at the back, where "chromatic plus dye" is 0 and 1 of Bitcoin's eco-application, and AVM will be the guiding path for future bitcoin-level application. bitcoin not only needs to dye it, but also the "chromatic" method itself.

这一次，染色币的概念有幸真正被实现了。
This time, the concept of coloured currency was fortunately realized.
除了ARC-20，如今并没有其他协议标准完整界定了染色币的概念；而ARC-20本身又幸运地被OKX、Binance、Unisat等头部基础服务商集成，得到了大范围的主流采纳。本质上，“染色币”并不指代一个具体的协议，但是今天，Atomicals是唯一一个完整实现染色币愿景并且得到一定规模的使用和认可的协议。所以，我想未来很长一段时间，ARC-20会独占“染色币”这个概念。
Apart from ARC-20, there are now no other agreement criteria that fully define the concept of dye currency; and ARC-20 itself, fortunately integrated into top-level service providers such as OKX, Binance, Unisat and others, has been adopted on a wide scale. In essence, “chromatic currency” does not refer to a specific agreement, but today Atomicals is the only agreement that fully fulfils the colour currency vision and is used and accepted on a certain scale. So, , I think, for a long time to come, ARC-20 will monopolize the concept of “chromatic currency”.
过去几个月，我也有听闻几个协议，涉足了“染色”概念，不过他们并非在做“染色币”这个东西。真正把这个概念完整落地实现的，还是只有Atomicals协议。
Over the past few months, I've heard a couple of agreements on the concept of dyeing, but they're not doing the thing of dyeing. What really happened was the Atomicals deal.
Atomicals为我们带来了染色币，染色币为比特币带来了最原生的代币玩法，染色方法为比特币打开了应用层的大门。这是第一次，我们能够走进一个灵活的实用比特币时代，所有的可能性都扑面而来。
Atomicals brings us dyed currency, dyed currency brings the most original monetic to bitcoin, and dyed method opens the door to bitcoin's application. For the first time, we can go into a flexible, practical bitcoin era, with all the possibilities coming up.
很多Bitcoin OG还没有关注到这个已经落地的染色币玩法，世界各处还有很多理想主义者在寻找Atomicals这样的事物，希望最后我们能撞个满怀。
