Cryptocurrency exchange giant Binance announced Tuesday that it will launch its own “tailored blockchain” in an apparent first step toward building a decentralized exchange (DEX).

加密货币交易巨头Binance周二宣布，它将在建立分散交易所（DEX）的第一步中启动自己的“量身定制的区块链”。

The Hong Kong-based company — which regularly ranks as a top-three cryptocurrency exchange as measured by daily trading volume — made the announcement in a blog post, explaining that Binance Chain will “mainly focus on the transfer and trading of blockchain assets, as well as provide new possibilities for the future flow of blockchain assets.”

这家总部位于香港的公司按照每日交易量排名为前三大加密货币交易所，并在一篇博客文章中公布了这一消息，他解释说，Binance Chain将主要关注区块链资产的转让和交易， 并为未来的区块链资产流动提供新的可能性。“

“Binance was growing too quickly, and too busy to start anything else,” CEO Changpeng Zhao said on Twitter. “So, all we could do is, to just start one more Binance.”

首席执行官赵昌鹏在Twitter上表示：“Binance增长过快，并且太忙而无法开始其他任何事情。 “所以，我们所能做的只是再次启动一个Binance。”

The company said that it made the decision to launch Binance Chain after conducting extensive research into currently-existent DEX frameworks.

该公司表示，在对当前存在的DEX框架进行广泛研究之后，它决定启动Binance Chain。

Decentralized Exchanges allow users to trade cryptoassets without entrusting their coins to third parties, whose centralized platforms provide hackers with lucrative attack vectors and have collectively lost more than $1 billion worth of assets to thefts during the industry’s short history.

分散式交易所允许用户交易加密资产，而不会将其硬币委托给第三方，这些第三方的集中平台为黑客提供了利润丰厚的攻击媒介，并在行业短期内共同损失了价值超过10亿美元的资产。

The most well-known DEX is EtherDelta, which uses smart contracts to allow users to trade ERC20 tokens, which all run on the Ethereum blockchain. DEX platforms are not completely safe since their website servers are centralized, but they are much less vulnerable to large-scale thefts than conventional exchanges.

最着名的DEX是EtherDelta，它使用智能合约来允许用户交易ERC20令牌，这些令牌都在以太坊区块链上运行。 由于DEX平台的网站服务器是集中式的，因此它们并不完全安全，但与传统交易所相比，它们更不易遭受大规模盗窃。

The reason that currently-existent DEX platforms are not more widely used is that by-and-large, they can only be used to trade assets that run on a common blockchain. Technological upgrades such as the Lightning Network (LN) promise to make cross-blockchain trades — called atomic swaps — more accessible, but these technologies are not yet production-ready.

目前存在的DEX平台没有得到更广泛使用的原因是，总体而言，它们只能用于交易在共同区块链上运行的资产。 诸如闪电网络（LN）等技术升级承诺使跨区块链交易（称为原子交换）更易于访问，但这些技术尚未投入生产。

It is not yet clear how Binance’s DEX will operate, although it appears that it will exist alongside the company’s centralized exchange for the foreseeable future.

目前还不清楚Binance的DEX如何运作，尽管在可预见的将来它似乎将与公司的集中交换一起存在。

“Centralized and Decentralized exchanges will co-exist in the near future, complementing each other, while also having interdependence,” the company said, adding that more details about Binance Chain would be released in the coming days.

该公司表示，“集中式和分散式交易所将在不久的将来共存，相互补充，同时也具有相互依赖性”，并补充说，关于Binance Chain的更多细节将在未来几天发布。

Binance Coin (BNB), which is currently built as an ERC20 token, will be reissued as Binance Chain’s native asset, and Binance — the post says — will “transition from being a company to a community.”

Binance Coin（BNB）目前作为ERC20令牌生成，将作为Binance Chain的本地资产重新发布，Binance - 该帖子称 - 将“从公司转型为社区。”

Notably, OKEx — another top-three cryptocurrency exchange based in Hong Kong — recently launched its own utility token and has said that it will create its own public blockchain, tentatively dubbed OKChain, as well.

值得注意的是，另一家位于香港的前三大加密货币交易所OKEx最近推出了自己的实用标记，并表示它将创建自己的公开区块链，暂时称为OKChain。
