我对区块链的看法变了

对于区块链的理解,我有一点不一样的看法。

此间我们一直在畅想区块链是下一代互联网的基础设施,聊的是区块链是改变生产关系的技术或应用。但我觉得可能过于宏大了。从时间的角度上来讲,这个东西的落地时间可能是以十年计或者上百年计的,一代人有一代人的鸡蛋要领,我们不能天天干些孙子们的事。

一、 认知错位:技术演进的长周期与短期焦虑

站在此时此刻,区块链技术才诞生了十几年——从白皮书发布算起,也不过 2008 年到现在的时间跨度。我们在怀疑、质疑、担忧区块链的应用价值,我个人觉得这种担忧意义不大。

原因在于,在我们这一代人的整个时间周期里,区块链的应用价值和普及速度,大概率不会如我们想象中那么快。就好比在互联网或计算机刚诞生时,第一代的创业者、互联网从业人员,很难想象今天我们可以通过互联网来打车、看视频、做即时支付。大家当时只是觉得,互联网只是一个能够收发信息、浏览新闻、阅读电子书的前沿技术。

所以,并非怀疑区块链的真实价值,而是从历史和时间维度上讲,区块链的应用走入寻常百姓家,或者说实现大规模应用,还有很长的路要走。很多人今天对区块链的焦虑,本质上是把一个十年、甚至更长周期的技术演进,压缩到了三到五年的预期里去看,这本身就会产生认知错位和认知焦虑。

二、 好钢用在刀刃上:聚焦科技金融

区块链技术的应用,现阶段肯定是好钢用在刀刃上。

区块链技术的一些特性,比如防篡改、去中心化记账、可追溯,以及它天然具备的金融属性,我觉得未来十年甚至二十年,它可能仅仅会局限在科技金融领域。比如:

  • 货币支付: 无论是稳定币支付,还是以比特币为代表的大额价值转移工具。

  • 传统金融市场链上化: 包括证券、基金、债券等资产的链上化(RWA)。

我之前做过几年互联网产品,带过产研团队,也算是移动互联网的创业者。这种经历让我有一个直觉性的判断:如果一个技术或应用,相较于传统方式没有十倍速的提升,它就不是一个突破式或破坏式的创新。 而我在过去一年多的时间里经历了两件事,让我认为区块链在金融领域,真的可能是十倍甚至百倍以上的提升。

1. 跨境支付的效率鸿沟

第一件事,就是此前我体验过的,从内地银行卡往境外汇一笔钱。

  • 传统方式: 受到外汇管理制度金额限制;必须去线下银行柜台递交个人材料;手续费高达数百元人民币;时间成本极高。这背后是 SWIFT 网络、多级代理行机制叠加带来的结果——每经过一层机构,就增加一层时间和费用。

  • 区块链方式: 在 2026 年当下的加密支付中,使用 USDT 或其他稳定币,手续费基本在 0.01 美元至 0.1 美元,到账速度只需十几秒到一分钟。

在合法合规框架下进行跨境资金转移,效率有十倍到百倍的提升。这种提升不是理论上的,而是任何一个真实用户都可以直接感受到的。

2. 证券交易结算之慢

第二个经历是昨晚刚发生的。最近纳斯达克指数(QQQ)大涨,我周六打开证券账户选择卖出:

  • 传统方式: 系统显示要等到下周三才能知道卖了多少钱。又恰逢五一假期,最早到 5 月 8 号才能将钱提出来。从交易到资金回笼经历十几天。对于习惯了互联网即时反馈的用户来说,这种延迟是非常反直觉的。

  • 区块链方式(RWA): 2025 年开始明显爆发的“链上美股”或 RWA 资产,是 7×24 小时即时交易的,理论上可以实现链上结算与资产同步交割。

虽然链上反洗钱、KYC 和监管问题目前还没完全解决,但从合规业务角度来看,这些都是可以通过技术和制度确认解决的。美股或全球金融资产的代币化,在区块链世界里是一个必然趋势。

三、 区块链:房间里的大象

传统金融机构之所以效率受限,是因为存在大量中介、中心化服务机构,以及需要通过技术和人力进行反复审查、对账和确认的数据交易流程。

而区块链被称为“价值互联网”,其技术特性可以让价值流转、确权与资金结算,在一套统一的账本体系中完成,从而大幅降低中间环节,提高效率和透明度。

从这个角度来看:

  1. 切实价值: 区块链在科技金融里面有切实社会价值的应用场景和需求,创造了十倍以上的效率提升。

  2. 未来趋势: 这种技术的应用本应没有国界之分。谁能真正快速拥抱区块链,将传统金融证券上链,大幅提升交易和清算效率,实现未来 7×24 小时的高频交易能力,这就是高度确定的未来。

在当前这个仍然相对低效的传统金融体系里,区块链已经不是一个“讲故事的概念”,而是一个正在真实创造效率、真实改变用户体验的工具。

我们可以不关心区块链是否能成为下一代互联网的基础设施,但它显然已经在当下这个阶段,在金融领域,成为一个肉眼可见、且正在持续放大的“房间里的大象”。

The "Impossible Triad" Is Fundamentally a Pseudo-Problem

The article argues that blockchain's fundamental limitation is not the scalability trilemma (decentralization, scalability, security), which has been largely solved, but the lack of **privacy** and, until recently, clear **legitimacy**. Blockchain is described as a slow, expensive, globally shared computer whose core value is censorship resistance and verifiability. While ideal for native digital assets like money (e.g., stablecoins), its default transparency acts as a **tax**, exposing all transactions and enabling MEV extraction, which deters serious institutional capital. Simultaneously, its permissionless nature created regulatory ambiguity. The piece contends that **privacy** is the missing critical feature. It rejects the false choice between total transparency and complete anonymity. Modern cryptography (like zero-knowledge proofs) enables **compliant privacy**: users can prove facts (solvency, KYC status, compliance) without revealing the underlying sensitive data (specific holdings, identities). This preserves auditability for regulators and eliminates the leak of financial information. With recent regulatory progress (e.g., the GENIUS Act) addressing legitimacy, adding default, provably compliant privacy becomes a pure upgrade. It transforms blockchain from a costly, public ledger into a confidential settlement layer, finally bridging the gap to mainstream institutional and individual adoption of on-chain finance.

Optical Chips: Collective Capacity Expansion

The global optical chip industry is experiencing a massive wave of expansion driven by surging AI data center demand. Major players across the US, Japan, Europe, and China are aggressively investing to ramp up production capacity. In the US, Coherent is expanding its 6-inch Indium Phosphide (InP) semiconductor fab in Texas, supported by CHIPS Act funding and a $2 billion strategic investment from NVIDIA. Lumentum is building a new factory for InP optical devices, and Nokia is scaling its advanced photonic chip packaging and testing capabilities. NVIDIA's investments aim to secure future supply of critical lasers and optical interconnect products for AI infrastructure. Japan's JX Advanced Metals, a leading InP substrate supplier, plans a multi-billion yen investment to increase its capacity 7-10 times, strengthening its grip on the crucial upstream materials market. In Europe, IQE and Tower Semiconductor settled a patent dispute and signed a multi-year InP epitaxial wafer supply agreement, highlighting that next-generation silicon photonics platforms will integrate high-performance InP components. STMicroelectronics and Sivers Semiconductors are also expanding silicon photonics production and partnerships. China is rapidly building out its domestic supply chain. Dongshan Precision's subsidiary, Source Photonics, announced a $12 billion project to expand optical chip and module production. Companies like Sanan Optoelectronics and Yunnan Germanium are scaling up InP chip manufacturing and substrate production, moving towards vertical integration from materials to modules. While debate continues around the exact future architecture—whether CPO (Co-Packaged Optics), NPO, or pluggables will dominate—analysts like Morgan Stanley argue the underlying driver is unchangeable: the explosive growth in bandwidth demand. This will inevitably increase the volume of optical engines, lasers, and related content per GPU, regardless of the final technical path. The competition for "more light" in the AI era has intensified into a global, full-chain capacity race.

Stablecoins Finally Find Real Yield: An In-Depth Look at On-Chain Reinsurance Re | A Conversation with Re Founder Karan Saroya

Stablecoin Real Yield Found: A Deep Dive into On-Chain Reinsurance with Re's Karan Saroya As stablecoin supply exceeds $170 billion, the search for sustainable, non-speculative yield intensifies. Re, an on-chain reinsurance platform, provides an answer: connecting stablecoin capital to the trillion-dollar traditional reinsurance market. Re operates as a regulated reinsurer, accepting stablecoin deposits as collateral to back US insurance companies. These insurers pay premiums, generating yield that flows back to on-chain depositors. Currently supporting 35 insurers and underwriting $500 million, Re projects scaling to over $1 billion soon. Key insights from a Bankless podcast with founder Karan Saroya and investor Avichal of Electric Capital: 1. **Uncorrelated, Real-World Yield:** Re offers stablecoin holders access to reinsurance returns (targeting 12-14%+), an asset class entirely separate from crypto or equity markets. 2. **Operational Efficiency via Smart Contracts:** Re replaces traditional, labor-intensive capital fundraising with smart contracts, allowing a ~12-person team to compete with industry giants. 3. **Regulatory Leverage:** For every $1 of collateral, regulations allow backing $5-7 in written premiums. This leverage amplifies returns from the underlying risk-free rate. 4. **DeFi Integration:** Depositors receive receipt tokens, which can be used in protocols like Morpho for "looping," potentially pushing yields to 18-20%+. 5. **The "DeFi Mullet" Model:** A compliant front-end (regulated reinsurer) paired with a decentralized back-end (smart contracts, DeFi capital markets). 6. **RE Governance Token:** Modeled on Lloyd's of London, the token governs the central capital pool's allocation, counterparty acceptance, and parameters. 7. **Real Economic Impact:** Capital funds real-world productivity (factories, clinics, businesses) via insurance, moving beyond crypto's internal loops. The discussion highlights a pivotal moment: DeFi's supply-side infrastructure is now met by real demand for productive yield, potentially kickstarting a flywheel where vast on-chain stablecoin capital seeks these real-world returns.
