《Vitalik 香港Web3嘉年华演讲:追求密码学的极限》

编者按: 2024 香港 Web3 嘉年华期间,以太坊联合创始人 Vitalik Buterin 在由 DRK Lab 主办的「Web3 学者峰会 2024 」上发表主旨演讲《Reaching the Limits of Protocol Design》。Nothing Research 合伙人 0x_Todd 在 X 上发文分享了她对于 Vitalik 此次演讲的理解与感悟。0x_Todd 谈到,在兼具的安全和效率的前提下,吸纳更多的密码学成果,以太坊的目标直指密码学的上限,这是一流公链和二流公链的真正区别。Odaily星球日报整理如下:

今天 Vitalik 低调亮相万向 Hasheky 香港峰会,V 神发言是真的利索,没有繁文缛节,一上来就是 $ETH 干货放送,平铺直叙。结合这次演讲,谈谈我的理解。

所有的区块链,都根植于密码学之上,可以说密码学是真正的底层。而且近些年来,密码学的理论前沿一直在发展。而以太坊 $ETH 现在的目标,就是能把密码学的理论转换为工程实践。

做过开发的朋友都知道,学术界的东西,越是前沿的,直接拿到工业界使用越有挑战,密码学也不例外。

现在以太坊最关注的密码学前沿是:

  • ZK-SNARKs

  • 2 PC、MPC、FHE

  • 聚合签名

  • 改善 P2P 网络

Vitalik香港峰会演讲观后感:以太坊正在追求密码学的极限

比如聚合签名,其实比特币已经在 Schnorr 升级做过类似升级。而以太坊倾向的 BLS 聚合签名升级和 Schnorr 各有千秋,也能做到让多个签名聚合成一个签名这件事变得非常丝滑

Vitalik香港峰会演讲观后感:以太坊正在追求密码学的极限

一个密码学上的成果,可以实际转化为:

  • 让区块链变得更加隐私(多人共签有利于保护隐私)

  • 节约 gas 费(共签占用空间更小)

  • 对设备的要求进一步降低(容易验证)

同时,V 神还提了「学术理论→技术实践」的两个要素。

Vitalik香港峰会演讲观后感:以太坊正在追求密码学的极限

首先是,效率。

比如一个很实际的问题就是,以太坊主网的区块是 12 s 间隔,但是做 ZK-SNARKs Proof 最快也要 20 分钟。

Vitalik香港峰会演讲观后感:以太坊正在追求密码学的极限

如果能够有轻量级的 ZK Proof 解决方案,每一个区块都能完全 ZK 化,那么以太坊就会非常隐私、安全和抗审查,甚至能更快。

其次是,安全。

只要是人类,就会犯错误。

谁也不能保证自己的代码里面没有 bug。

现在,Debug 靠肉眼,比如「安全委员会」。

但是将来,也许可以靠 multi-provers,在更远的将来,甚至可以靠 AI。

在兼具的安全和效率的前提下,吸纳更多的密码学成果,以太坊的目标直指密码学的上限。

听完后心潮澎拜,推动 ETH 以及其他所有区块链发展的,正是真正前沿的技术。

现在,所有排名在 ETH 后面的公链,都在拼命和以太坊做对比,都在试图从以太坊这个竞品中找到答案。

而以太坊,却在密码学中找到答案。这是一流公链和二流公链的真正区别。

Research Report Analysis: Morgan Stanley Details SanDisk SNDK, The Truth About Cloud Data Center Pricing Power and AI Inference Benefits

Morgan Stanley raised its price target for SanDisk (SNDK) from $1100 to $1750 on June 22, maintaining an Overweight rating. The upgrade is driven by AI inference demand reshaping the NAND market, particularly for KV Cache and context window storage in cloud data centers. These cloud clients exhibit price inelasticity and sign long-term contracts, granting SanDisk significant pricing power. SanDisk's New Business Model (NBM) agreements, covering over one-third of FY27 bit shipments with 3-5 year terms and fixed price/price collar structures, are crucial. They are projected to sustain gross margins around 80% even at floor prices, providing a buffer against cyclical downturns. Morgan Stanley forecasts gross margins to surge from 30.3% in FY25 to 86.7% in FY27e. With NAND supply expected to remain tight into 2026/2027 and cloud/data centers becoming the largest end-market, SanDisk holds supply-side pricing power. The company targets 15-19% bit growth via technology transitions, not capacity expansion. Revenue is projected to grow ~6.6x from FY25 to FY27, with EPS rising from $2.74 to $14.73, driven by high-margin cloud business. Key upside catalysts include faster enterprise SSD adoption and edge AI growth. Downside risks involve slower industry growth, competitor capex increases, market share loss, and competition from Chinese players like YMTC. The investment thesis rests on AI-driven structural demand, NBM's margin protection, and sustained supply tightness. The $1750 target implies ~28x FY27e P/E.

A Threefold Performance Leap! NEAR Achieves 200ms Physical Block Time Limit with SPICE

NEAR's core development team, Near One, has announced its next major protocol evolution: SPICE (Separation of Consensus and Execution). Currently in development, SPICE represents the most significant upgrade before the full implementation of Nightshade 3.0. Its core innovation is decoupling the consensus layer, responsible for ordering transactions, from the execution layer, which processes them. This allows the consensus layer to run at full speed without waiting for transaction execution to complete. Once deployed, SPICE is projected to triple NEAR's block production speed, achieving a 200ms block time, which is considered the physical limit due to the speed of light and network latency. This leap will dramatically reduce transaction latency and finality, with transactions confirming in roughly 0.4 seconds—faster than a typical card payment. The upgrade also enables more complex, long-running transactions and significantly improves user experience for applications like NEAR Intents and near.com. Beyond raw speed, SPICE enhances network scalability and security. It enables deeper parallelism, efficiently distributing workload across shards and improving resource utilization. The simpler block structure and lighter contracts also facilitate formal verification and security auditing. Furthermore, SPICE lays the critical groundwork for future Nightshade 3.0 features, most notably atomic cross-shard transactions, which would simplify complex contract logic and eliminate development hurdles caused by asynchronous execution. The Near One team is actively developing SPICE, targeting deployment in the coming months.
