Abstract

对EIGEN代币进行分层分配并设定最大分配上限将有利于小额存款人

编者按: 1 月 25 日,据 EigenLayer 官网信息,EigenLayer TVL 达 80.67 万枚 ETH,价值约合 17.88 亿美元。此外,团队正在引入一种分配再质押积分的新方法,该方法将把分配给任何 LST、LRT 或个人存款的再质押积分上限设定为未来发行总量的 33% 。

Bankless 分析师 Jack Inabinet 深入探讨了 EigenLayer 背后的理念,并详细介绍了其积分机制,从中分析其潜在空投价值。BlockBeats 将原文编译如下:

只有少数几个加密项目在空投刚开始时就为早期用户创造了至少十亿美元的财富,但我们很可能即将看到另一个热门协议加入这个名单中。

再质押承诺成为一种具有变革性的加密经济原语,EigenLayer 正站在努力使其成为现实的最前沿。

今天,我们将探讨为什么 EigenLayer 是一个颠覆性的游戏规则者,给出构建在其之上的服务类型的示例,为您解释 EigenLayer 为什么是下一个价值十亿美元的空投机会的理由,并估计参与 EigenLayer 后能够期待获得多大规模的空投。

为什么 EigenLayer 是一场颠覆性的变革者?

EigenLayer 创建了一个去中心化市场,允许以太坊持有者「再质押」他们的代币,为不仅仅是以太坊网络的其他加密应用提供安全性。

作为一个可编程的信任网络,EigenLayer 允许开发者创建去中心化网络,同时避免了启动和运营自己信任网络所带来的困难。

由于协议开发者不再需要担心运行验证节点网络,他们可以更专注于重要事务,比如构建他们的应用程序,而不是过于努力支持保护其去中心化网络的可质押代币的市值。

这降低了创建自己的去中心化网络的准入门槛,并赋予了加密安全应用的长尾更多权力。

使用 EigenLayer 的协议正在从以太坊现有的质押者那里「租用」他们的经济安全性,这种将已质押的以太坊重新利用以为多个应用提供安全性的做法,为质押带来了资本效率,有效降低了保护额外网络的成本,同时对个别服务保持了强大的信任保证。

对于 EigenLayer 的再质押者,该协议提供了两种增强收益的机会。再质押者不仅可以通过保护其他网络而获得增强收益,而且他们还有资格从使用其服务的协议那里获得空投资格。

Bankless:颠覆性的变革者,EigenLayer空投价值有多大?

在 EigenLayer 上可以构建哪些服务?

EigenLayer 主动验证服务(AVS)是指任何需要自己的分布式验证节点网络进行验证并依赖于 EigenLayer 提供安全性的系统。术语「AVS」实际上是一个真正的总称,可以应用于协议可以服务的广泛范围内的任何去中心化验证应用。

再质押者将他们的质押委托给 AVS 运营商,他们运营 EigenLayer 的基础设施并使用再质押者的以太坊作为他们服务的保证金,以换取使用这些质押的以太坊作为质押品的能力。

最出名的 AVS 是 EigenLayer 的数据可用性解决方案 EigenDA。

Bankless:颠覆性的变革者,EigenLayer空投价值有多大?

虽然 EigenDA 目前尚未上线,但预计它将大大降低在 rollups 上发布数据的成本,并且预计将提供比领先的 DA 解决方案 Celestia 更具成本效益的解决方案,这要归功于再质押相对于 Celestia 模型中运营独立 L1 区块链的成本效益。

然而,EigenLayer 保护网络的能力远不止于以太坊生态系统,多种应用正在 Cosmos 生态系统上构建。

对于那些不希望在 Cosmos 生态系统中启动自己的代币和验证节点集的网络来说,Cosmos Hub(ATOM)长期以来一直是主要的跨链安全提供商,但 EigenLayer 希望很快夺取这一桂冠。

以太坊 os 和 Lay 3 r 是两个 AVS,它们将使 Cosmos 链能够使用 EigenLayer 现有的信任网络启动其 L1,为 Cosmos Hub 提供更有吸引力(并具有成本效益)的安全替代方案。

就像 EigenLayer 的 AVS 可以用于为 L1 和 L2 区块链提供安全性一样,它们还可以验证各种其他加密系统,包括去中心化的守护者和预言机网络。

EigenLayer 还旨在提高互操作性:他们的快速最终性 AVS 将使任何交易都能获得即时结算的好处,桥接协议可以利用 AVS 来使用 EigenLayer 的再质押以太坊网络作为抵押品,促使结算在用户交易传输过程中减少等待时间。

尽管人工智能和密码学的交叉点才刚刚开始被探索,但 EigenLayer 可能成为统一这两个环境的重要参与者。Onchain AI 界面可能很快就能够利用 AVS 验证其算法的完整性,通过生成零知识证明,而 EigenLayer 的再质押模型的资本效率使其比替代的 ZKML 技术更具成本效益。

EigenLayer 的空投会有多大?

对于具有实际现金流的加密协议进行准确估值已经足够困难,更不用说对于尚不存在的协议了。虽然没有直接可比的 EigenLayer,但 Celestia 提供了一个足够接近的竞争对手来基于其估值。

Celestia 的唯一用途可能是作为数据可用性层,但该网络的 TIA 代币目前的全面稀释估值(FDV)为 150 亿美元,略低于上周短暂达到的 200 亿美元峰值。

与 Celestia 相比,EigenLayer 的优势在于其提供的多种附加服务,除了数据可用性之外,存在多个收入驱动因素,这意味着市场可能会将 EigenLayer 视为比 Celestia 更具吸引力的投资机会。

不幸的是,EigenLayer 的估值受到了一个事实的影响,即它不是一个区块链网络,这意味着 EIGEN 代币无法像预期那样积累 L1 溢价。

实际上,这意味着 EIGEN 的效用比 TIA 要低,因为它不会成为质押 AVS 的资产,这一因素将减少对该代币的需求,可能导致 EigenLayer 以较低的估值交易。

EigenLayer 可以选择通过将 EIGEN 用作网络提供的服务的支付代币来增强 EIGEN 的实用性。然而,这是一个不太有效的需求来源,并且会被来自再质押者和 AVS 运营商不可避免的抛售压力而部分抵消,这些运营商将其作为补偿,希望套现并换成另一种资产。

考虑到所有这些因素,假设 EigenLayer 将以类似于 Celestia 的 FDV 进行交易似乎是合理的,可能在初始推出时估值在 100 亿至 200 亿美元左右。

虽然 EigenLayer 的代币经济学目前未知,但进一步假设他们会向早期用户空投其代币供应的 10% 似乎并不出奇,这将使该协议轻松地成为一个价值数十亿美元的空投。

这对个人存款人意味着什么?

目前,在 EigenLayer 中已经存入了 760, 000 枚以太坊,即将进行的 LST 上限提升将进一步增加以太坊的数量。存款人每小时获得每个以太坊抵押的一个点,并且总积分累积约为 10 亿。

我们无法知道将有多少 EigenLayer 积分,因为尚不清楚空投将何时进行,以及在那时将有多少以太坊赚取积分,但我们知道 Polymarket 目前将 EigenLayer 空投在四月之前到达的概率定为仅有 13% 。

假设从下一次提高存款上限的时间起,EIGEN 空投至少要再经过 180 天,而在此期间以太坊的管理量线性增加到 1 百万,那么在空投时将存在大约 48 亿积分。

在估值范围为 100 亿至 200 亿美元的情况下,假设总 EIGEN 供应的 10% 被空投,存款人可以预期每个积分获得 0.21 至 0.41 美元,代表着每次 EigenLayer 于 2 月 5 日提高其 LST 上限时存入的以太坊可获得的认领机会范围为 907 至 1, 814 美元。

值得注意的是,虽然许多假设必须满足才能使此估算成立,这只是非鲸鱼存款人可以预期获得的最低分配;对 EIGEN 代币进行分层分配并设定最大分配上限将有利于小额存款人。

如何最大化 EigenLayer 空投机会?

要获得 EigenLayer 空投资格,首先需要做的事情是在日历上设置一个提醒,在 2 月 5 日存入以太坊。

Two Legends Lost in Three Days: Is Google's AI Talent Dam Cracking?

In three days, Google lost two AI legends. On June 18, Noam Shazeer, co-author of the seminal "Attention is All You Need" paper and Gemini co-lead, left for OpenAI. Just 48 hours later, John Jumper, 2024 Nobel laureate and AlphaFold lead, departed DeepMind for Anthropic. This follows Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic in May. These moves highlight a structural trend: top AI talent is concentrating at mission-driven, pre-IPO firms like OpenAI and Anthropic, while Google becomes a primary source. The exodus stems from a core mission mismatch. Google's ad-centric model often subordinates AI research to product and revenue goals, creating friction for pioneers like Shazeer, who returned in 2024 only to leave again. In contrast, OpenAI and Anthropic offer singular focus on pushing AI boundaries, whether towards AGI or safety-aligned models, which deeply appeals to top researchers like Jumper. Financial incentives amplify the pull. With both OpenAI and Anthropic nearing IPO, employees stand to gain immensely from equity, an upside Google's mature stock cannot match. Furthermore, the 2023 merger of Google Brain and DeepMind, intended to consolidate strength, has instead created cultural tension and slowed the path from research to product, as evidenced by Gemini's pace. This talent redistribution is reshaping the AI landscape. While Google retains vast data and compute resources, its true crisis is the quiet, continuous loss of the people who define the field's future. The real moat in AI is not infrastructure, but the concentration of brilliant minds—a battle Google is currently losing.

Behind the AI Report Card, Lies a Chinese 'Exam Setter'

Beyond the familiar performance charts like MMLU-Pro and MMMU, which major AI models strive to ace, stands a key "examiner": Chinese-Canadian researcher Wenhu Chen. An assistant professor at the University of Waterloo and founder of TIGERLab, Chen addresses the crucial need for more rigorous AI evaluation. As models like GPT-4 began scoring near-perfect results on older benchmarks like MMLU, it became difficult to distinguish their true capabilities. In response, Chen introduced MMLU-Pro in 2024, featuring harder, more reasoning-focused questions with more answer choices, successfully reintroducing meaningful performance gaps. His work extends to multi-modal evaluation with MMMU and its enhanced version, MMMU-Pro. These benchmarks test a model's ability to understand and reason with complex information from images, charts, and text across diverse academic subjects, exposing the significant challenges even top models face in genuine comprehension. Chen's background in complex QA, table reasoning, and his experience at Google DeepMind on projects like Gemini inform his approach. He understands that effective benchmarks must anticipate how models might "cheat" by memorizing data or avoiding visual analysis. His lab also actively researches video understanding and generation models (e.g., UniVideo, Vamba), ensuring his evaluation work is grounded in practical model-building challenges. Now at Meta's Super Intelligence Lab, Chen continues his focus on multi-modal data and evaluation, representing the deep yet often unseen contributions of Chinese talent in shaping the fundamental tools of the AI industry.

Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written at the Moment Cursor Sold for $600 Billion

Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: On Cursor's $60 Billion Sale Many aspiring founders see massive exits like Cursor's $60B sale and wonder why they can't achieve the same, often concluding opportunities are exhausted. But great companies aren't built in obvious, crowded spaces. Cursor, like Stripe, Figma, and Shopify before it, started with a non-consensus belief about the future. Before ChatGPT, they believed AI would transform knowledge work. They focused on a genuinely exciting domain, became their own customer, and obsessed over power users. Their journey involved years of "glass-chewing" effort before the market was ready. The pattern is consistent: identify a long-term technological shift, find a missed entry point, and execute for years before the trend becomes obvious. First-generation products (PayPal, Adobe, Amazon) prove a market exists. Second-generation winners (Stripe, Figma, Shopify) rebuild that market around new insights, technology, or changing customer behaviors. Founders must identify their phase in the cycle. Early entrants like Coinbase or Cursor focus on making new technology usable for power users. Later entrants find the "yin" to the established "yang"—the blind spots incumbents miss as they grow distant from individual users. The key is deep market immersion. Use every product in your space. Talk to users. Build an audience. Stop looking for ideas and start *seeing* them everywhere. Then, choose one. The idea must offer a 10x improvement or solve a "hair-on-fire" pain point—something severe enough that users are already crafting workarounds. When building, avoid feature bloat. Ask: why would someone switch? Great startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction (e.g., Cursor forked VS Code instead of creating a new editor). Distribution is the underestimated moat. Before product-market fit, achieve distribution-market fit. How do customers discover new tools? Founders like those at Airbnb, Stripe, and Cursor did unscalable, manual work to recruit early users. The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Cursor built for years pre-market, faced rejection, and persisted. So did Airbnb, Nvidia, and Rain (which launched post-FTX collapse). The lesson isn't that these founders were smarter, but that they stayed in the game long enough for their insights to compound. Framework: Spot technological cycles. Cultivate unique insight. Obsess over your market. Talk to customers. Find a hair-on-fire problem. Build the simplest wedge. Win your distribution channel. Above all, don't quit when it gets hard. Most people won't do these things consistently. The few who do build the next generation of great companies. Go build.

Alliance's Co-Founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written on the Occasion of Cursor's $60 Billion Sale

In this letter to entrepreneurs, Alliance reflects on the success of Cursor's $60 billion sale to Elon Musk, using it as a case study to counter the misconception that opportunities in crowded fields like AI or crypto are exhausted. The piece argues that great companies like Cursor, Stripe, Figma, and Shopify are not built by geniuses with perfect ideas, but by founders who start with a non-consensus belief about the future and build for years before that future becomes obvious to everyone. They identify long-term shifts, find overlooked entry points, and execute relentlessly. The framework for success involves: 1. **Identifying your place in the technology cycle**: Early-stage opportunities focus on making new tech usable for power users (e.g., Coinbase, Cursor). Later-stage opportunities involve finding the "yin" to an existing "yang"—the blind spots of first-generation players (e.g., Stripe vs. PayPal, Figma vs. Adobe). 2. **Cultivating unique insights**: Immerse yourself deeply in the market. Use every product, talk to users, and build an audience. Insights will emerge naturally from deep engagement. 3. **Finding a "hair-on-fire" problem**: Look for a 10x improvement or a severe, urgent pain point. The strongest signal is people already building clumsy workarounds. 4. **Building a focused MVP**: Don't just add features because you can. Ask why users would abandon their current tool for yours. The best startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction. 5. **Winning a distribution channel**: Distribution is often the moat. Before product-market fit, achieve channel-market fit. Find where your customers are and build an engine to reach them, even through unscalable, manual efforts initially. 6. **Persistence**: The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Success stories like Cursor, Airbnb, and Nvidia involved years of grinding, rejection, and perseverance when the path forward seemed unclear. The conclusion is that there is no secret. Most people fail to consistently execute these steps over the long term. The few who do build the companies that define the next era. The world is yours to create.
