만약 누싸이퍼와 뉴사이퍼 커뮤니티 중 상위 질문을 집계한다면 "언제?"와 "왜 아직 안됐나?"로 동일할 것입니다. 이러한 질문들이 너무 자주 물어져서 각 팀이 빠르게 성장에 대비하기 위해 차량을 추가해야 한다는 것까지 고려하고 있습니다! 이번 달에 뉴사이퍼는 존 "터스" 퍼시픽(이전 뉴사이퍼 암호학 엔지니어)이 창립한 엔트로피라는 수수께끼 스러운 것으로 인해 새로운 직업 기회가 팀에 오픈되었다고 발표했습니다. 뉴사이퍼는 특히 솔리디티 개발자를 찾고 있지만 추가적인 백엔드/암호학 엔지니어를 모집하기도 합니다. 킵 네트워크는 방금 새로운 프론트엔드 개발자를 고용했지만 킵 네트워크의 모회사인 테시스는 아직도 여러 가지 직책을 공개하고 있습니다. 테시스는 또한 Threshold Network를 활용하는 새로운 커뮤니티 소유 암호화폐 지갑인 탈리에서도 직책을 공개하고 있습니다.

커뮤니티 속에서 퍼져나가는 속삭임으로 인해 알 수 없는 일의 속도는 빠르게 움직이고 있지만, 외부인에게는 거북이의 속도처럼 보입니다. 이 2월의 희미한 속삭임이 각 네트워크의 설립자들 간의 통화를 주선하게 되었고, 바로 이어서 2021년 3월 초에 진행된 단단한 통합 제안으로 이어졌습니다. 그 첫 통화 이후, 많은 것들이 개척되었고 예기치 못한 많은 장애물들이 극복되었습니다; 마지막으로 확정된 버전에 이르기 위해 제출안이 10번 다시 제안되었습니다. 우리는 많은 것을 이뤄냈지만, 두 가지 잠재적인 경쟁업체의 이야기가 이론적으로는 이상적인 결합을 이뤘어야 하는데도 새로운 방식을 택하고 조화롭게 일합했다 선언할 수 있도록 마무리해야 할 관문이 여전히 많이 남아있는 상황입니다. "왜 합병해야 할까"라는 질문을 살짝 던지는 사람도 있지만, 뉴사이퍼의 공동 창립자 맥레인 윌킨슨과 킵 네트워크 창립자 맷 루옹고는 최근 메사리 크립토의 분석가 윌슨 위더엠에게 이를 인터뷰한 바 있습니다.
hem for a Panel discussion at MainNet 2021.Below we will outline the milestones already achieved, what is currently in progress and what still must be pioneered before the World’s First Decentralized Protocol Merger, “KEaNU”, comes to a wrap and the Threshold Network takes life. Viktor Bunin, a Protocol Specialist at Bison Trails, was interviewed for an in-depth Q&A on the merger which is a great resource for getting up to speed.

Since the green light came in June, when the final proposal known as rc0 was ratified, both teams and communities have been busy navigating the uncharted decentralized merger scene. The rc0 proposal signaled the alignment of both communities in the belief that our future is brighter together, making way for the first-ever hard merge in crypto history.
Previously, the closest to a merger that the decentralized community has seen were acquisitions such as; Yearn Finance/Sushi Swap. Yearn acquired Sushi but they are each still independent and have their own native token. Even the Founder of Yearn has struggled with what to title the collaborations. “I don’t have an answer on if these are mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, or collaborations,” Cronje said in a Medium post from November 2020 where he spoke to Yearn’s collaborative strategy. “The simple answer is, a bit of each, the teams merge, the protocols leverage off of each other, vision is aligned and shared by all team members. This is something new that I don’t think fits into the boxes we have previously used.”
What makes the merge between Keep and NuCypher unique? The networks are truly being merged; resulting in a brand new protocol and token. The novel approach taken has paved a path for other protocols that might not have had the gumption to be the first or who might not have even realized it possible.
Brayton Williams of Boost VC, which backed Keep, put it another way.
“In most cases, the competition is not crypto to crypto teams,” Williams said. “We are fighting against traditional finance and how things work before crypto emerged. More high-quality teams that can join together to compete against the real competition will make for a better fight.”
As of July, “Threshold Network ‘’ and “T” are the official new network name and ticker. The branding for the new network is still in progress but eager to bring the communities together the team launched the new Threshold Forum, Discord channel, and sub on Reddit in August. We have yet to see the official Twitter or website but whispers in the community indicate that the branding agency is working on these feverishly.
The tBTC v2 protocol is the only true decentralized bridge to bring Bitcoin to Ethereum, it's the biggest initial benefactor to the merger. It immediately enables scalability for tBTC with a large network of over 2000 nodes from the NuCypher network. If you are not familiar; here is an intro to tBTC written by MacLane Wilkison, to get caught up.
A new Money Lego has arrived! The team has talked about this in the hypothetical for the past few months, but Coverage Pools are now a reality. The deployment on mainnet is live with the ability to deposit KEEP and earn rewards while unlocking tBTC safety and scalability. KEEP rewards have also been shifted from the KEEP-only pool to incentivize the use of the new pool. If you want to get into the pool or just explore the process and design behind Coverage Pools check out this guide written by Chdru, a Keep community member.
“Threshold Network Reward Mechanisms Proposal I — Stable Yield for Independent Staker Welfare” was just posted to the Threshold Forum. This is a very important proposal as it determines the inflation mechanics of the new network. There are lots of ways to get involved in the discussion- leave feedback on the forum, join discord or join community calls that could occur in regards to the proposal.
The most recent component of the merger to be finalized is the Threshold DAO design. The DAO will be a new approach to common DAO designs; it will consist of a three-body governance model which is an elected multisig council and two chambers — the Token Holder DAO and the Staker DAO. The proposal was ratified with a snapshot and passed with consensus from both communities this week.
2021년 말에는 임계 네트워크의 기초를 쌓는 데 참여한 모든 사람들에게 바쁜 시기가 될 것입니다. 특정 순서는 없지만 다음은 Keep Network와 NuCypher 합병의 예정된 단계입니다.
여전히 해야 할 일이 많음을 보실 수 있습니다. 우리도 커뮤니티 구성원으로 직접적이고 즉각적인 임계 네트워크의 성공에 참여할 기회를 강조하고 싶습니다.
2018년에 비탈릭 부테린이 말한 대로, 암호 화폐 합병은 일반 기업 합병보다 10배 복잡할 것이라고 생각합니다. 아무도 그 중 절반도 모르고 있었죠! 매일매일 우리는 세계 최초의 탈중앙화 프로토콜 합병과 마치 레고처럼 최상위에 구축할 수있는 거대한 탈중앙화 임계 암호화 네트워크를 완성하기 위해 조금씩 더 나아가고 있습니다.
