緬甸、泰國強震傷亡慘重,CZ各捐500 BNB助救災!為何使用加密貨幣捐款?

近日,一場7.7級的強烈地震重創泰國與緬甸,造成嚴重的人員傷亡和財產損失。面對這場突如其來的災難,幣安共同創辦人趙長鵬(CZ)迅速伸出援手,宣布將捐贈大量加密貨幣BNB以支持兩國的救援工作。

幣安共同創辦人趙長鵬28日在社交平台X上發文宣布,將向遭受7.7級強烈地震侵襲的泰國和緬甸各捐贈500枚BNB,以支援兩國的災後救援工作。根據發布時的價格計算,這筆捐款約為624,366美元。

推文發出後,也激勵了許多業者採取行動,包括區塊鏈顧問兼暢銷書作家Anndy Lian,就承諾向一家非營利組織提供44 BNB來幫助緬甸的救災任務,並呼籲他的粉絲們一同為救災工作盡一份力量。

這場災難性的地震發生在3月28日下午1點20分左右,震央位於緬甸第二大城市曼德勒附近約10至16公里的地區。地震造成建築物嚴重損毀,緬甸軍政府表示,截至週日為止,地震已造成約1,700人死亡、3,400人受傷,以及300多人失蹤。

緬甸軍政府首腦敏昂萊(Min Aung Hlaing)表示,隨著救援工作的持續進行,死亡人數可能繼續上升,並罕見地向國際社會請求援助。

趙長鵬在X平台上發文表達對泰國人民的關心,並宣布了將對泰國和緬甸分別進行捐款。他表示,如果找不到合適的第三方鏈上捐贈平台,將透過幣安和幣安泰國分公司來分發這筆善款。

為何使用加密貨幣捐款?

其實這不是第一起透過加密貨幣進行災難救助的案例,例如在2023年土耳其和敘利亞發生7.8級地震後,慈善家Haluk Levent便開始接受加密貨幣捐款。

此外,專門協助非營利組織處理加密貨幣捐款的公司The Giving Block,也曾為2023年夏威夷毛伊島野火的受害者募款超過100萬美元,並在今年一月為加州野火的救災工作籌集了超過100萬美元的資金。

加密貨幣捐款在天災救援等緊急情況下展現出多項獨特優勢。

優勢一:跨境效率高

首先,加密貨幣的跨境效率極高,能夠快速地將資金從世界各地送達受災地區,打破了傳統銀行體系的地域限制。

優勢二:交易成本較低

其次,相較於傳統的國際匯款,加密貨幣的交易成本通常較低,這也代表捐款中會有更多比例能真正用於幫助受災民眾。

優勢三:即時結算

此外,加密貨幣交易幾乎可以做到即時進行結算,這對於需要快速獲得援助的災民來說至關重要。

這些特性使得加密貨幣成為一種高效、便捷且具有成本效益的捐款方式,能夠在關鍵時刻為救援工作提供有力的支持。

BINANCE創業者CZ氏、ミャンマー・タイ地震支援に1,000 BNB寄付を表明

BINANCE創業者CZ氏、ミャンマー・タイ地震支援に1,000 BNB寄付を表明

チャンポン・ジャオ氏、9,000万円相当のBNBを寄付

大手仮想通貨取引所Binance(バイナンス)の共同創業者であるチャンポン・ジャオ(CZ)氏は2025年3月29日に、ミャンマーとタイで発生した大地震の被災者支援のため合計1,000 BNB(各国に500 BNBずつ)の寄付を行うことを表明しました​。

寄付額の1,000 BNBは日本円に換算すると約9,000万円相当(1 BNB=約89,500円)となり、仮想通貨による緊急支援として大きな注目を集めています。

CZ氏は、寄付金の送付方法について「もし寄付に利用できる透明性の高いオンチェーン寄付プラットフォームが見つからなければ、Binance本社およびBinanceタイランドを通じて資金を配布する」と自身のX(Twitter)に投稿しています​。

ミャンマーとタイにそれぞれ500 BNBを寄付します。

DIDを活用した透明性の高いオンチェーン寄付システムがあれば教えてください。なければ、BinanceおよびBinanceタイランドに配布を依頼します。

ミャンマー・タイ地震の発生と被害状況

今回の地震は2025年3月28日午後(現地時間)に発生し、震源はミャンマー中部の主要都市マンダレー近郊と推定されています​。地震の規模はマグニチュード7.7に達し、周辺地域に甚大な被害をもたらしました​。

震源に近いマンダレーでは建物の倒壊が相次ぎ、数百年前に建立された仏塔の一部も崩壊するなど深刻な被害が報告されています​。ミャンマー国内では6つの地域・州で非常事態宣言が発令されましたが、地震の影響で通信網が不安定となり被害の全容把握は難航しています​。

ミャンマーの軍事政権が3月29日に発表したところによると、この地震による死者数は1,002人、負傷者数は2,376人に上りました​。被害規模が明らかになるにつれ死者数は増え続け、翌30日までに1,600人以上に達したとの報道もあります​。

隣国タイでも強い揺れが観測され、首都バンコクでは建設中の高層ビルが倒壊して多数の作業員が下敷きとなりました。報道によるとこれまでに11人が死亡し、依然として76人の安否が不明であり、倒壊ビルの下に取り残されており、救出活動が続けられています​。

こうした状況を受けて、ミャンマーの実権を握るミン・アウン・フライン国家最高責任者は各国に対し「可能な限りの国際支援を求める」と呼びかけました​。被災地では現在も懸命な救助・支援活動が行われており、被災者への迅速な支援が求められています。

広がりを見せる仮想通貨による災害支援

仮想通貨(暗号資産)コミュニティによる今回の支援は、近年広がりを見せる仮想通貨による災害支援の流れの一例でもあります。

Binanceはこれまでも自社の慈善団体「Binance Charity(バイナンス・チャリティ)財団」を通じて各国の自然災害や人道危機に対する寄付活動を行っており、ブロックチェーン技術を用いることで寄付金の流れを高い透明性で公開してきました​。

今回のCZ氏の表明を受けて、仮想通貨業界内でも支援の輪が広がりを見せています。

国際的なブロックチェーン技術顧問であるアンディ・リアン氏(Anndy Lian)は、自身のSNSでミャンマーの支援活動を行う非営利団体に対し44 BNB(26,444ドル/400万円相当)の寄付を約束し、フォロワーにも寄付協力を呼びかけました​。

仮想通貨を用いた寄付は、ブロックチェーン上で資金の使途を追跡できるという利点があり、今後も災害支援や人道目的での利用拡大が期待されます。

Binance’s CZ Sparks Debate: Should AI Projects Be Built on Layer 1 or Layer 2 Blockchains?

Binance’s CZ Sparks Debate: Should AI Projects Be Built on Layer 1 or Layer 2 Blockchains?

The broader discussion aligns with industry trends, where AI and blockchain convergence is becoming a focal point for developers and investors alike.

Where Should AI Live? CZ Fuels L1 vs. L2 Discussion

In a recent post on X (Twitter), CZ highlighted that the core purpose of such projects is not to develop a superior blockchain. Instead, it is to use blockchain technology to support AI economics.

He noted that while L1 provides greater sovereignty and decentralization, it also demands more effort in maintaining nodes and validators. In contrast, L2 networks offer convenience by leveraging existing ecosystems like Ethereum’s decentralized exchanges (DEXs), perpetual contracts, and tools without significant value leakage to the base layer.

“L1 vs L2…Does it matter if a new AI project is an L1 or an L2?… Is L1 cooler than L2 or the reverse? Old topic, but wondering if sentiment has changed or not,” CZ posed, welcoming conversation.

Crypto analyst Hitesh Malviya argues that L1 blockchain is the superior choice. The analyst advocates this network for projects seeking to establish their own consensus mechanisms, optimize performance, and reduce validator costs.

However, he also warns that despite extensive fundraising and user acquisition efforts, many L1 projects still experience retention drops of 70-90% after token generation events (TGE).

“…even if you retain users, you would only see one category or niche capturing the maximum traction onchain. So if the destination is already known—retention drop, higher user acquisition costs, and niche-specific demand capture—then why not build an app chain using an L2 stack,” Hitesh suggested.

Given these challenges, he suggests that building an AI-focused blockchain as an L2 app chain is a more practical approach. This would allow for faster development, marketing, and scalability.

Meanwhile, Walter from the BNB Chain Business Development team supports L2. He emphasized its accessibility to existing tools and infrastructure. His comment also hints at speculation regarding CZ’s possible attendance at an upcoming Crypto Summit at the White House.

AI & Blockchain: The Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 Debate

Investor and blockchain advisor Anndy Lian adds another dimension to the debate. In a subsequent comment on X, he argued that AI is most effectively deployed at Layer-3 (L3). He explains that while implementing AI on L1 is theoretically possible, it is impractical due to security and resource constraints.

“AI can be implemented on blockchain Layers 1, 2, or 3… In practice, Layer 3 is where AI is most effectively and frequently utilized, leveraging the blockchain’s strengths while accommodating AI’s computational needs,” Lian explained.

On L2, the blockchain advisor noted that AI can optimize scalability. However, AI is most frequently utilized in L3, enabling a diverse range of AI-powered applications while leveraging blockchain’s strengths.

Meanwhile, CZ discusses AI’s placement in the blockchain ecosystem amid growing interest in AI-integrated L2 networks. In June 2024, Binance Labs (now YZI Labs) invested in Zircuit, an AI-enhanced L2 network that utilizes zero-knowledge rollups to improve security.

This investment signals Binance’s strategic focus on AI-blockchain integration, potentially influencing CZ’s latest inquiry.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has also been actively discussing L1 and L2 scaling solutions. Last month, Buterin outlined a roadmap for scaling Ethereum’s L1 and L2 protocols in 2025. However, he also recently cautioned that certain L2 networks will likely fail due to weak economic models and poor execution.

These statements further fuel the debate on whether AI projects should build their sovereign chains or integrate with existing ecosystems.

Nevertheless, CZ’s timing in raising this question may suggest he is gauging market sentiment for a new AI blockchain initiative. Given Binance’s investment in AI-driven L2 solutions and the increasing interest in modular blockchain architectures, he could be testing the waters for future ventures.

The trade-offs between sovereignty, scalability, and accessibility will shape the future of AI-blockchain integration. This could make it essential for developers and investors to weigh their options carefully.
