For the first episode of our "Meet the team behind Fuel" series, we are thrilled to hear from John Adler, co-founder of Fuel Labs and Celestia Labs.
这是我们“见一见Feul背后的团队” 系列第一集，我们很高兴请到Fuel Labs 和 _Celestia Labs 联合创始人 John Adler。
Tell us about your background and your experiences in blockchain and engineering.
告诉我们您在区块链和工程方面的背景和经验。
I was previously doing layer-2 scalability research at ConsenSys, where I created the optimistic rollup design paradigm. Mustafa Al-Bassam's papers on Fraud and Data Availability Proofs (now Data Availability Sampling) and LazyLedger heavily inspired my research.
我之前在 ConsenSys 进行 layer-2可扩展性研究，在那里我创建了乐观汇总设计范式。 Mustafa Al-Bassam 关于欺诈和数据可用性证明（现在的数据可用性抽样）和惰性层(LazyLedger)的论文极大地启发了我的研究。
Prior to that I was doing my graduate studies at University of Toronto in Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a focus on formal methods.
在此之前，我在多伦多大学攻读电气和计算机工程专业的研究生课程，重点是形式化方法。
How did you come to create Fuel?
您是如何创建 Fuel 的？
Nick and I started Fuel v1 back in mid-2019 as the first optimistic rollup in response to scaling issue plaguing Ethereum at the time. It was initially focused on stablecoin payments which were the biggest gas guzzlers at the time. It quickly became obvious there was also a need for scalable Turing-complete smart contracts, so we started work on Fuel v2 (i.e. Fuel) shortly after the mainnet launch of Fuel v1.
Nick 和我早在 2019 年年中就启动了 Fuel v1，作为第一个乐观汇总，来应对当时困扰以太坊的扩容问题。它最初专注于稳定币支付，这是当时最大的gas消耗。但很快事情就明朗起来：还需要可扩展的图灵完备智能合约，因此我们在 Fuel v1 主网启动后不久就开始了 Fuel v2（即当前 Fuel）的工作。
What is your day-to-day role at Fuel?
您在 Fuel 的日常职责是什么？
I review PRs and fix CI failures 😂
我审查 PR 并修复 CI 故障😂
What are you currently working on?
你目前在忙什么？
Mostly, I'm working on:
大多数情况下，我致力于：
- Improvements to the FuelVM in response to requirements from devs experimenting with Sway, and
响应开发者尝试 Sway 的需求，对 FuelVM 进行了改进，以及 - New features in the Sway standard library.
Sway 标准库中的新功能。
How did you get into Blockchain and what excites you the most about it?
你是如何进入区块链的，最让你兴奋的是什么？
I first got exposed to blockchain in grad school since my advisor was involved in the early days of Ethereum. The thing that hooked me at the time (and still does!) was the close proximity of blockchain tech to compilers and virtual machines, which are a topic near and dear to my heart despite not being my area of formal research.
自从我的导师参与以太坊的早期阶段以来，我第一次接触到区块链是在研究生院。当时让我着迷的事情（现在仍然如此！）是区块链技术与编译器和虚拟机的紧密联系，尽管不是我的正式研究领域，但这些都是我心头所爱的话题。
What other blockchain project do you admire and why?
您欣赏其他哪些区块链项目，为什么？
Bitcoin, for paving the way for the entire space. Unfortunately its community has been its downfall.
比特币，为整个空间铺平道路。不幸的是，它的社区一直在”坍台“。
Do you have a mentor or someone you admire?
您有导师或钦佩的人吗？
Mentor, no. As for someone I admire, that would be lightclients. We used to work together at Quilt (a team at ConsenSys), and since then they've become an integral part of improving Ethereum in a very short time.
导师，没有。至于我敬佩的人，那就是 lightclients。我们曾经在 Quilt（ConsenSys 的一个团队）一起工作，从那时起，他们就在很短的时间内成为了改进以太坊不可或缺的一部分。
What excites you the most about Fuel?
Fuel 最让您兴奋的是什么？
Everything. There's nothing about it that doesn't excite me.
一切。没有什么不令我兴奋的。
What future do you see for Fuel?
您认为 Fuel 的未来是什么？
Fuel is the engine for the autonomous future, and will be the nexus for decentralized coordination games.
Fuel 是自治未来的引擎，将成为去中心化协调游戏的纽带。
Why should blockchain developers come to Fuel?
为什么区块链开发者应该来Fuel？
The FuelVM learns from both shortcomings and lessons from the EVM. If you know how the EVM works, then you know how the FuelVM works. It's simply the EVM, improved in all the ways people have wanted to improve it over the years but couldn't due to backwards-compatibility.
FuelVM 从 EVM 的缺点和不足中吸取了教训。如果你知道 EVM 是如何工作的，那么你就会知道 FuelVM 是如何工作的。它只是 EVM，多年来人们一直希望改进它，但由于向后兼容性而无法改进。
Sway and Forc offer an unparalleled developer experience. While other projects take pride in their developers eating glass, we're committed to Sway developers eating cotton candy.
Sway 和 Forc 提供了无与伦比的开发者体验。虽然其他项目以他们的开发人员吃玻璃(抓狂)而自豪，但我们致力于让 Sway 开发人员吃棉花糖。
What future do you see for blockchain? And what would it take to grow mass adoption?
您认为区块链的未来是什么？怎样才能促进大规模采用？
Blockchain technology will continue to gain importance and relevance on the global stage in the years to come. However, this requires scaling by many orders of magnitude beyond what blockchains can do today.
未来几年，区块链技术将继续在全球舞台上变得重要和相关。然而，这需要扩展许多数量级，超出了当今区块链的能力。
