2020年12月15日下午4點，BlockArk創始人宿冶對話SCIFI聯合創始人Rick Mortensen，在Uniswap中文社區進行了“即將公募的SCIFI 朋克風設計下的指數世界”的AMA主題活動。本次直播活動由區塊方舟BlockArk和BitMax支持，鏈聞ChainNews、Odaily、區塊律動BlockBeats媒體支持，直播分享內容整理如下：

今天下午SCIFI的AMA正式開始，歡迎Scifi的聯合創始人Rick！

宿冶：SCIFI項目可能是我見過的設計最前衛的項目了，上面藍色的就是他們的官網。

宿冶：Hello Rick, welcome to the Chinese community of Uniswap. Let's start with a one-sentence introduction to the SCIFI Finance.It is believed that most of my friends will find it difficult to know what this project is for the first time after they enter the official website.You can also introduce your team members to us, and also about the design of your website.

宿冶：Hello Rick, welcome to the Chinese community of Uniswap.

你好Rick，歡迎來到Uniswap中文社區，先給我們用一句話簡單地介紹下SCIFI Finance這個項目吧。相信大部分朋友進入官網後都被很難第一時間知道這個項目是做什麼的。如果方便的話，也可以給我們介紹下你們的團隊成員。當然，你也可以給我們講講你們官網的設計思路。

Rick：Hi everyone! First of all, thank you so much for having us here, we appreciate the opportunity to tell you and your community more about the project. I am leading the business development and partnership topics at SCIFI and SPICE. I’ve been working in the broader crypto ecosystem full time since 2017. With my background in finance, I’m a big believer in index products as a gateway for investors. This is what excites me about SCIFI and is the main reason why I came aboard. 

嗨，大家好！首先，非常感謝BlockArk的邀請，同時也感謝有此次機會向大家介紹有關SCIFI項目的信息。我本人是在SCIFI和SPICE裡主要負責業務發展和夥伴關係的。我是從2017年開始就全職在加密生態圈裡。憑藉我在金融領域的了解和背景，我堅信指數產品會是投資者的門戶。這就是為什麼我對SCIFI感到興奮的原因，同時也是我加入SCIFI的主要原因。

Rick：There are a good two handfuls of individuals who dedicate a meaningful amount of time to this project. Most notably: Lucky Picard is the ship’s finance lead, Prince Valium the Comms person, HAL2020 is the tech lead, Ender Wiggin the product wizard and Dark Helmet is the community lead.

有少數幾個人為該項目投入了大量時間。主要是：Lucky Picard是項目的財務主管，Prince Valium是通信人員，HAL2020是技術主管，Ender Wiggin是產品嚮導，而Dark Helmet是社區主管。

Rick：Yes, the website is quite special. We chose to create a brand on the backdrop of a space narrative. We thought it is a fun way to build a foundation on which to expand the narrative of the project. 

宿冶：Can you tell us the operating mechanism of Scifi? What makes up this basket of cryptocurrency? Your introduction has given us so much mystery that users are at a loss, so give us some ideas and directions :)

能否給我們講講Scifi的運作機制？這一攬子的數字貨幣大概由哪些構成？你們前面的介紹給了太多神秘感，以至於用戶們都一頭霧水，給我們一點思路和方向吧。

Rick：SCIFI is essentially a hand-curated, DAO-governed crypto index. As with traditional finance and ETFs, we see a similar movement in the digital asset space. Even for us who are working in the industry full time, selecting the right assets to invest in can be a daunting task. This is why we believe that curating an index for the community adds a lot of value. Investors can do a diversified investment by buying just one token. 

SCIFI本質上是由DAO管理的加密指數。與傳統金融和ETF一樣，我們看到數字資產領域也發生了類似的變化。即使對於全職從事加密行業的我們來說，選擇合適的資產進行投資也是一項艱鉅的任務。這就是為什麼我們認為為社區製定一個指數可以增加很多價值的原因。投資者只需購買一個代幣即可進行多元化投資。

Rick：SCIFI is governed by a governance token called $SPICE. The SPICE DAO will have governance powers with regards to the steering of the SCIFI index, creating new indices and controlling the usage of the project treasury.

宿冶：Is SCIFI entirely self-built? Why not build the index from an existing platform? PowerPool or Balancer.

宿冶：Is SCIFI entirely self-built? Why not build the index from an existing platform? PowerPool or Balancer.

SCIFI是完全自建的合約嗎？為什麼不通過現有的平台來構建指數呢？比如PowerPool或者Balancer。

Rick：SCIFI is not entirely built from scratch. We leverage existing and battle tested libraries and added existing code where required. The smart contracts were tested by an audit firm that has in the past done work for names like MakerDAO, 1Inch or DIA. Read up on the details here:

宿冶：Due to the popularity of DeFi, there have been many related indexes and related projects in the market, such as DPI index made by DeFi Pulse, sDEFI synthetic asset built based on Synthetix, and even YETI, Year Ecological index, appeared on PowerPool due to the powerful influence of AC. What are the advantages of Scifi over these index?

What are the advantages of Scifi over these index?

由於DeFi的火熱，市場上已經出現了很多相關的指數和相關的項目，比如DeFi Pulse做的DPI指數，基於Synthetix搭建的sDEFI合成資產，甚至因為AC的強大影響力，PowerPool上還出現了Year生態指數YETI。與這些一攬子數字貨幣指數相比,Scifi有什麼優勢？

Rick：First off, we believe that crypto will see a similar development as the traditional financial space did with ETFs. Creating gateways to follow diversified and/or specialised investment strategies is a great way to create access for investors that may not have the resources and capacity to do all that research for themselves. So we will see many many indices coming up in the next years with different strategies. SCIFI is the first index that gives a combination of expert curation, DAO governance, full ocollateralisation and zero fees. We believe that especially in the fast moving and highly technologies world of crypto, leveraging the power of experts has vast advantages.

宿冶：We saw that SCIFI Finance actually has two kinds of tokens. Could you tell us about its dual token mechanism? What are the functions of SCIFI and SPICE? How do you give value to each other?

宿冶：We saw that SCIFI Finance actually has two kinds of tokens. Could you tell us about its dual token mechanism? What are the functions of SCIFI and SPICE? How do you give value to each other?

我們看到SCIFI Finance其實有兩種代幣，能否為我們講講它的雙代幣機制？ SCIFI和SPICE分別有哪些功能？如何互相給與對方價值？

Rick：SCIFI itself is the actual index token. The smart contract holds the constituents of the assets, they are actually locked into the contract, so it is fully collateralised and one SCIFI can always be redeemed for its constituents through a smart contract interaction. 

SCIFI本身就是指數代幣。智能合約持有資產的成分，資產實際上已鎖定在合約中，因此已經是完全質押的狀態了，並且始終可以通過智能合約交互來贖回一個SCIFI的資產成分。

Rick：SCIFI is governed by a governance token called $SPICE. The SPICE DAO will have governance powers with regards to the steering of the SCIFI index, creating new indices and controlling the usage of the project treasury.

宿冶：I think we may spend more time on the token mechanism. What is the pricing mechanism of SCIFI? Will it exist in both the primary and secondary markets, as ETFs do? Users can redeem the SCIFI either by subscribing to the SCIFI with a digital currency basket or by exchanging the SCIFI with a digital currency basket. Does that mean there is arbitrage room?

我想我們可能會多一些時間在代幣機制的探討上，SCIFI的定價機制是什麼樣的？它是否和ETF一樣，會同時存在於一級市場與二級市場？用戶能否進行雙向兌換，即用一攬子數字貨幣認購SCIFI或者用SCIFI換回一攬子數字貨幣。我們看到SCIFI可以在Uniswap上交易，那是否意味這其中會有套利空間？

Rick：SCIFI will be initially priced according to the Net Asset Value of its constituents. However once it starts trading on DEXs it can happen that the token price is higher or lower than the Net Asset Value. When it is, there will be an incentive to either buy the token, redeem it for the constituents and sell them on the open market, or vice versa, mint SCIFI by posting the constituents to the smart contract and then selling SCIFI on the open market. This arbitrage mechanism essentially decentralises the role of the market maker.

SCIFI將根據其資產的成分淨值進行初始定價。但是，一旦它開始在DEX上交易，可能會發生代幣價格高於或低於資產淨值的情況。在這種情況下，將有動力購買代幣，然後將其贖回成其組成成分的其他代幣，然後在公開市場上出售它們，反之亦然，通過將其組成成分的代幣發佈到智能合約上來鑄造SCIFI，然後在公開市場上出售SCIFI套利。這種套利機制實質上分散了做市商的作用。

宿冶：You have named the SCIFI's governance body"Galactic Council". Could you tell us what the governance mechanism of the DAO is like? How will this energize SPICE?

你們給SCIFI的治理機構取名為銀河委員會（Galactic Council），能否給我們講講這個DAO的治理機制是怎麼樣的？這將如何給SPICE賦能？

Rick：The Galactic Council is made up of a group of experts and community leaders that we call Senators. They are leading actors in the industry that have a deep understanding of the space and a significant thought leadership and reach. Their role is to support mission control with their knowledge, educate their communities and amplify the message of SPICE and SCIFI.

Galactic委員會由一群我們稱為參議員的專家和社區領袖組成。他們是行業中的佼佼者，他們對行業有著深刻的了解，並在行業內具有領導力和一定的影響力。他們的角色是用他們的知識支持任務可控，教育並引導他們的社區擴大SPICE和SCIFI的信息影響。

Rick：The Senators don’t strictly have a governance role, this falls upon the SPICE DAO, so all the holders of SPICE. The Galactic Council will be part of the SPICE DAO. We are excited to have such a talented group of Senators assembled, They include names like The Crypto Dog, The Wolf of all Streets, GAINS Associates, Young and Investing and more. 

宿冶：Everyone is very interested in your public offering mechanism, which is named BIG BANG. Could you please introduce this mechanism to us and how users should participate?

宿冶：Everyone is very interested in your public offering mechanism, which is named BIG BANG. Could you please introduce this mechanism to us and how users should participate?

大家想必對你們的公募機制很感興趣，你們取名為BIG BANG 大爆炸，能否給我們介紹下這個機制，用戶該如何參與？

Rick：For the public sale we leverage Uniswap liquidity pools to create a price discovery mechanism and have a know and simple-to-use gateway to the offering. The Liquidity pool initially provides 500K SPICE and 700K USDC, setting the price at an initial 1,40 USDC / SPICE. As SPICE is bought, the ratio changes and thus the price increases, reflecting the demand for the token. At certain levels, we provide limit sell orders that will give access to SPICE at a stable price. Once absorbed, these levels will provide something like price floors, where the sell-off of the token is strongly disincentivised. All the SPICE that won’t be sold in the limit orders will be burned and thus contract supply and positively impact price for all holders. This is a maximum of 2,86M SPICE. Here are the details about the offering: https://scifinance.medium.com/archived-the-big-bang-831ed0b54922 The Big Bang will take place soon, keep your eyes peeled for an announcement on our channels.

@吉米：Is it possible to choose the components of the index, or to give users some freedom in the choice of the components of the index?

@吉米：Is it possible to choose the components of the index, or to give users some freedom in the choice of the components of the index?

請問有沒有可能實現自己去選擇指數的成份，或者說在指數成份的選擇上給用戶一些自由度？

Rick：SPICE is designed to be DAO governed. SCIFI is the first index issued by the SPICE DAO. Currently the selection of constitutes in SCIFI are decided by the mission control, but we are already involving the community by crowd sourcing project recomendations. In the coming year we will decentralised the sourcing and dcecision process on SCIFI. New indices from the SPICE DAO could be from the start community sourced and selected. Feel free to suggest strategies you want to see issued.

SPICE受DAO控制。 SCIFI是SPICEDAO發布的第一個指數。目前，SCIFI的構成完全是由委員會決定的，但我們已經通過項目推薦讓社區參與進來。在未來的一年，我們將以中心化的方式來進行SCIFI的採購和決策過程。來自SPICE DAO的新指數可以從初始社區來選擇。您可以隨時提出你想看到的策略。

@Risler：It's still confusing. Could you explain in details how we investors should participate in crowdsale?

還是沒搞懂。如何私募認購有教程否?

Rick：Yes, with pleasure. We will announce today between 21.00-23.00 that the sale is going live. The sale will last for 24 hrs. You will be able to buy SPICE tokens through Uniswap. The link to the Uniswap will be share in our announcement channel. Please be aware that there arfe fake tokens out there. Please only use the link from the announcement channel: https://****/sci_finance

好的，樂意效勞。我們將在今天21.00-23.00之間宣布拍賣將直播。拍賣將持續24小時。您可以通過Uniswap購買SPICE代幣。合約地址將在我們的公告渠道共享。請注意，現在有很多假代幣。請只使用來自公告頻道的鏈接：https://****/sci_finance

@李偉：If you buy SCIFI, can you redeem a basket of currencies represented by SCIFI? Will it start from 9pm to 11pm tonight or will it begin sometime between 9pm and 11pm for 24 hours?

如果購買SCIFI，是否可以贖回SCIFI代表的一籃子貨幣？今天晚上9點開始到11點，還是在9點到11點的某個時間開始，持續24小時？

Rick：Today is the sale of SPICE, the governance token of SCIFI will start. With the proceeds from the sale we will buy the project tokens and mint SCIFI - approximately 96hrs after the closing of the SPICE sale. Then you can buy SCIFI through uniswap after that. You can also mint SCIFI yourself (only makes sense if you have a lot of the tokens from the underlying projects) and you can also reedem SCIFI against the tokens.

@小仙女：Why did you use this avatar as profile photo? What does that mean?

@小仙女：Why did you use this avatar as profile photo? What does that mean?

別的團隊都是用的照片，你為啥用了個這個頭像？是什麼意思？

Rick：We are a team of contributors that have been in the crypto space, building successful projects. We all though beliueve, that we are critical in the set-up of SPICE and SCIFI, but along the way we want the community to be in charge. Hence we created a DAO. This is also the reason we do not want to put to much emphasis on us as individuals but the product itself. I guess it speaks for itself that the most known influencer in the space are becoming senators - showing their trust.

我們是一個已經有成功建設項目的團隊。儘管我們認為團隊在SPICE和SCIFI的建立關係中至關重要，但在此過程中我們仍然希望社區是主要的項目負責方。因此，我們創建了一個DAO。這也是我們不想過多強調產品本身的原因。我想這本身就說明了這個領域最有影響力人成為了參議員。

@李偉：Does that mean you can't reverse redeem a basket of currencies?

這意思是不能逆向贖回鑄造的一籃子貨幣？

Rick：Yes, you can redeem. But it cost gas. So if you just want to liquidate for 100USD than its better to sell through uniswap you position. But you can redeem SCIFI for its constitutes. Its an important safety mechanism.

是的，你可以贖回。但是需要消耗gas. 所以，如果你只是想平倉100USD,你可以通過uniswap來出售您的頭寸，但你也可以選擇贖回一攬子貨幣。它是一種重要的安全機制。

宿冶：感謝大家的踴躍提問，我們今天的自由問答環節先到這兒了。還有沒被回答的問題，可以去SCIFI的電報群溝通~
