```json { "translatedTitle": "First Shot of the New Year: Facebook Acquires Smart Contract Development Team Chainspace", "translatedContent": "[This article was updated on February 5, 2019 at tuoniaox.com]\n\nAccording to informed sources, Facebook's mysterious blockchain division completed its first acquisition, quietly taking over most of the research team from a blockchain startup engaged in smart contract development.\n\nThe company Facebook acquired is called Chainspace, a blockchain company founded by researchers from University College London in the UK. On the company's official website, Chainspace describes itself as \"a global smart contract platform\" that adopts a \"distributed blockchain network designed to achieve scalability, speed and privacy.\"\n\nRegarding this acquisition, Chainspace also seems to have hinted at it on their website, adding a statement:\n\nWe are pleased to announce that our team is moving on to do something new. Chainspace's code and documentation will remain open source, and all previously published academic work will continue to be available.\n\nA Facebook spokesperson has confirmed that former Chainspace employees are indeed working in its blockchain division, but beyond that, he did not reveal much more information.\n\nLike most companies, Facebook is also exploring ways to harness the potential of blockchain technology. This brand new small team is exploring different application scenarios. We have no other information to share at this time.\n\nThis acquisition leans more towards a \"talent acquisition,\" indicating that Facebook is interested in Chainspace's team rather than its technology. Facebook's spokesperson has also denied that it acquired Chainspace's technology.\n\nCurrently, Facebook has 11 blockchain positions open for recruitment, an increase compared to last year. In the related job responsibilities, Facebook mentioned that its blockchain team operates as \"a startup within Facebook.\"\n\nOur ultimate goal is to help billions of people access things they don't currently have access to—perhaps healthcare, equitable financial services, or new ways to store or share information.\n\nSource: 8btc\n\nThis article has been authenticated as original content by \"Yuanben,\" author: Tuoniao Blockchain.
