Group 1 - The blockchain industry urgently needs Nobel Prize winners to provide authoritative endorsement, theoretical empowerment, and compliance bridges to resolve the issues of "trust collapse + compliance ambiguity + technical bottlenecks," which is key to high-quality development [2] - The unique nature of the blockchain industry creates a pressing reliance on Nobel-level authority for rebuilding trust, ensuring compliance, and overcoming technical challenges [3] - Nobel laureates can serve as a "translator" for compliance and regulation, helping blockchain companies align their technology with regulatory requirements and providing authoritative compliance solutions [3] Group 2 - The collaboration with Nobel laureates is not merely for endorsement but also for empowering technology innovation and ensuring compliance and ethics within the blockchain industry [5] - Nobel laureates can optimize consensus mechanisms and smart contract incentive models, enhancing system security and efficiency through their theoretical contributions [5] - The collaboration can also facilitate connections between academic research teams and enterprises, accelerating the industrialization of cutting-edge technologies [5] Group 3 - Not all blockchain projects can receive Nobel endorsement; two main prerequisites are necessary: strong technical capabilities and compliance with regulations [6] - Projects with core patents and real-world applications are more likely to gain recognition, while those lacking technical substance may struggle to secure collaboration [6] - Nobel laureates maintain a zero-tolerance policy for partners with compliance issues, ensuring that collaborations focus strictly on technical guidance, academic research, and compliance consulting [7] Group 4 - The industry must be cautious of "pseudo-endorsements," which may involve superficial associations without substantial collaboration [8] - Genuine partnerships should involve concrete research projects and relevant technical contributions, rather than mere appearances or speeches [8] - The legitimacy of endorsements can be assessed by the relevance of the Nobel laureate's research to the blockchain project and the absence of absolute claims regarding guaranteed returns or zero risks [8] Group 5 - The need for Nobel endorsements in the blockchain industry reflects a convergence of urgent needs for trust restoration, compliance breakthroughs, and technological upgrades [9] - The technical strength of companies is the foundation for collaboration, while compliance is crucial for sustainability [9] - As regulations tighten and the industry matures, Nobel endorsements will increasingly focus on "technical empowerment" and "industry standards," driving high-quality development in the blockchain sector [9]
