4月30日开始，我们暂时关闭Voice几个月，这个阶段我们将把这个基于同质化代币的社交平台转成基于非同质化代币的社交平台。
我想和大家深入聊聊关于这个决定和未来的一些想法。
为什么要这么改？
我们的使命坚定地想让Voice创造理想的社交，我们要利用区块链和加密技术让内容创造者获得更多力量。
一开始我们乐观地和美国的监管部门合作，想让我们的同质化和可转换的Voice代币获得批准。我们相信，Voice代币可以适合很多社交媒体，同时还可以大大利用EOS主网。
然而，和监管部门密切打了18个月交道之后，我们却还看不到结果。而换届又带来了更多的不确定性。最近证券交易委员会的一些行动也表明未来还有很长一段道路。我们还会继续寻求批准，但是目前我们确实看不到尽头。
为什么转向NFT？
NFT（非同质化代币）代表了一个新的媒体形式。它可以颠覆现有的模式，淘汰现有平台。同时按照它们最纯粹的形式来看，它们肯定不是证券。
我们把内容直接代币化，而不是在内容后添加代币，这样一来，我们就让内容创造者有机会直接把他们的成果转换为金钱。Voice找到了一条更好的道路，给内容创造者更多力量并利用EOS主网。
尽管我们想在EOS主网上搭建，但是因为以下三个原因，从一开始我们就无法如愿。首先纽约州金融服务部不允许EOS（和其他代币）在纽约州进行交易。
其次，我们专门的文件储存系统需要从其它主要超级节点买进，但是我们不能保证。
最后，也是最重要的一点，我们的NFT协议（构建在SImpleAsset上）必须要在主网上发布并被广泛使用，这样我们才能保证我们的内容创造者能够一直因为自己的忠诚度获得收益。然而，因为黑市越来越大，现在的荣誉系统已经被削弱了。
我们还会继续努力，在EOS社区的帮助下解决以上三个问题。但是我们不能在今年夏天及时发布。所以，我们决定从把区块链去中心并允许输出成EOS以保证NFT万无一失，同时我们也会努力实现完全迁移到主网。
我们的使命依然如一：建立理想的社交。NFT+EOSIO的组合是唯一能够实现这个使命的方法。
原文/Original：
On April 30, we closed Voice to the public for the next few months while we upgrade from a fungible token-based social platform to a non-fungible token-based social platform.
I would like to share more insight into that decision and our future.
Why the change?
Voice is steadfast in our mission to create social as it should be, using blockchain and crypto technologies to empower creators.
We set out optimistically to work with regulators in the US to gain approval for our fungible and transferable Voice Token. We believe the Voice Token can both fix much of social media and powerfully leverage EOS mainnet.
After more than 18 months of close engagement with regulators, we do not have an end in sight yet. The change of administrations has introduced further uncertainty. Recent actions by the SEC indicate a long road ahead. We remain in pursuit of those approvals, but we do not have an end in sight yet.
Why NFTs?
NFTs represent a new media format altogether. The kind that can disrupt the status quo and render existing platforms obsolete. And, in their purest forms, they’re decidedly not securities.
By tokenizing the content itself, instead of putting tokens next to the content, we are giving creators the opportunity to monetize their work directly. Voice has found a better path to empowering creators and leveraging EOS mainnet.
While we are moving towards building on EOS mainnet, we are not able to from day one for three reasons. First, the New York State Department of Financial Services does not permit EOS (amongst many other tokens) to be traded in New York state.
Secondly, our proprietary file storage system requires buy-in from major block producers that we cannot guarantee.
Lastly, and most importantly, our NFT protocol (built on top of SimpleAsset) needs to be released and widely adopted on mainnet in order for us to guarantee that our creators will always earn their royalties. The current honor system has already been undermined by a growing black market.
We will work on solving all three of those issues with the help of the EOS community. But it cannot happen in time for our launch this summer. So, we will begin by decentralizing our chain and allowing exporting to EOS as a failsafe to our NFTs, while we work towards enabling full migration to mainnet.
Our mission remains the same: build social as it should be. NFTs + EOSIO uniquely make that possible.
