Before Starting It's hard to believe that it's been entire 365 days since we saw the dawn of the Web3.0 world then boarded on. How time files. At the ending of 2019, Hang Yin and I were sitting in a tavern in Berlin, watching Gavin giving his speeach about the launch of Kusama with a can of beer in hand. It even sounded like a joke that KSM might break $1 at that time (and that's exactly what we were joking with Parity & Acala mates). Hang and I were so thrilled and amazed that our very first project -- pLIBRA, a privacy-preserving bridge between Libra and Polkadot -- could be admitted and granted with a few thousands of dollars by Web3 Foundation. Yet today, after only 12 months, Phala is now a bright-painted frigate sailing by two aircraft carriers: Kusama and Polkadot, with other frigates including Acala, Crust, Plasm, Moonbeam, and so on. It would be a long voyage driven by the community of Web3.0 believers. 2020 was a tough year to undergo. Core teams were 24/7 on-call, only to develop and launch the testnets as expected as possible. I remember each failed negotiation during fundraising, "It's not gonna happen, " said the investors; I remember the day I called to Antonia and persuaded her to join us with the vision of Web3.0 while she was still on a train and I was driving home. But just as the Paulo Coelho Quote goes, "When you want something; all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." We survived the seed-round (thanks to Candaq, IOSG Ventures, Exoplanet, etc.), learnt lessons from great investors (like Jocy), distributed 27 million PHA on Kusama Network as Phala's very first airdrop, and, thanks to all the around-the-clock work, made a Substrate-based TEE network come true.

Phala 社区诚意出品 撰文：Antonia、Marvin 写在前面 很难相信距离我们从亲眼看到了平行世界的曙光，到现在一只脚踏入了平行世界，已经度过了整整一年。 一年前的这个时候，我和尹航还在柏林的小酒馆里，听Gavin一边握着啤酒一边畅谈Kusama的上线，和Parity、Acala的朋友一起嘲笑KSM是否能冲破1美金的想法。我们也还沉浸在Web3.0的愿景中，为pLibra让我们首次获得了Web3 Grant而沾沾自喜——转眼间，这365天似乎每天过的飞快，我们在忙忙碌碌中已经成为了波卡世界的一只颜色鲜亮的护航舰。 Polkadot和Kusama两艘航空母舰已经出港启航，而Phala、Acala、Crust、Plasm、Moonbeam等护航舰也跟随着一起出发。在这次航行中，Phala一直坚信社区是项目之船的桅杆。它既决定了项目前行的方向，又时时刻刻为项目前行提供着动力。

About Phala Community Bounty Quests Phala is the 1st confidential smart contract in Polkadot ecosystem. Applying TEE--Blockchain Hybrid Architecture, Phala contract will run in local TEEs to support a highly-efficient, breach-proof, and developer-friendly network, by integrating which devs would be able to build data-protecting apps and webs. Before starting, community activity would be crucial: the more the number of TEE providers (miners), the stabler the network would be.

瓮城 公元1268年，忽必烈派刘整与阿术率军攻打襄阳，发起元灭宋之战。史称襄樊之战。拥有“上帝之鞭”称号之一的蒙古军队，在襄阳打了整整六年。1269年，忽必烈又派丞相史天泽助战。蒙古军在襄、樊二城四周修筑城围，并封锁了汉水，多次打退南宋援军。蒙古决定不惜一切代价夺取襄阳，各地的军队也是源源不断地开往襄阳，在短短一年之内围困襄阳的蒙军就增至了10万。 但是，吕文德所建立的守城军队也不容小视。他们凭借襄阳夹汉水，地险城固的有利地形，特别是守备措施充分、物资储备丰富，使得蒙军虽然急切但也在短时间内拿不下襄阳。直到1274，宋朝多次援救襄樊均被击溃且城内粮草耗尽的前提下，守将吕文焕才最终投降。1279年，陆秀夫背着南宋最后一个皇帝跳海，南宋灭亡。 襄阳能守住6年之久的关键，除了蒙古自身因为蒙哥身亡（被杨过击杀）导致的战略不稳、襄阳乃至南宋人民同仇敌忾、南宋战略布局多次出动救围战役外，还有个很有意思的原因：襄阳本身固若金汤，不仅围绕汉水天堑而建，且拥有最宽的护城河，还有继承自北宋开始的“瓮城”设计。 很多人不理解，为什么战争片里不直接攻打城门？通过城门进入城市不就胜利了？ 古代人虽然知识水平有限，但是智商和我们是一致的（甚至更高），他们这么做是因为在上千年的攻守经验中演化出了一套硬件、软件层的防御系统。即使你攻入了城门，还有这样的景象等着你，你会深刻理解“瓮中之鳖”的含义：
