Vitalik 又捐款了,这次他把 30 枚 ETH 捐给了 Juicebox 上一个名为「Free Alexey & Roman」的项目。这也是 Vitalik 第二次为之捐款的项目,此前 1 月 23 日曾捐赠过 12.6 ETH。

Vitalik再度捐款,Juicebox还会带来新Meme吗?

「Alexey & Roman」指的是 Tornado Cash 开发者 Alexey Pertsev 和 Roman Storm。

上一次让 Vitalik 出手的还是为 AssangeDAO,为解救维基解密创始人阿桑奇,Vitalik 捐献了 10 枚 ETH。而这次 Vitalik 为 Alexey 和 Roman 共捐赠了 42.6 枚 ETH,足以见其对 Tornado Cash 案件的重视。

自 2019 年上线以来,Tornado Cash 就因涉嫌洗钱案多次陷入监管危机。作为以太坊上需求最大的混币器,一直以来 Tornado Cash 案件在 DeFi 监管议题中都有一席之地。继 Roman Storm 去年被捕后,围绕其余创始人的判决话题仍在继续。

5 月 14 日,Alexey Pertsev 被正式宣判有罪,并被判处 64 个月监禁。加密社区特别是开发者群体的对 Pertsev 的被捕表示强烈抗议,他们担心对 Pertsev 的指控可能会为软件开发者定罪开创一个危险的先例。除了 Vitalik,Pertsev 赢得了各种支持,包括请愿书、律师筹款、以及来自被黑客入侵的协议声明他无罪的声明。

Roman Storm 的审判定于 9 月进行,而「Free Alexey & Roman」筹集的资金将用于支持二人的法律辩护基金,目前该项目已筹集 589 枚 ETH。

从拍卖宪法到释放罪人,新 meme 要来了吗?

作为一个自动化众筹平台,Juicebox 能够为其上的任何项目募集资金。某种意义上,Juicebox 可以说是 Alexey 和 Roman 的「救星」。

在 Juicebox 上线的项目多以 DAO 的形式呈现, 2021 年 11 月中旬,一个名为 ConstitutionDAO 的项目成功让 Juicebox 火出圈。

当时世界顶级拍卖行苏富比正在拍卖一份官方初版印刷的美国宪法,这也是现存唯一一份掌握在私人收藏家手中的副本,苏富比对其估值在 1500 万至 2000 万美元之间,而 ConstitutionDAO 正是为拍下这部宪法而生。短短 6 天内,ConstitutionDAO 通过 Juicebox 募资平台成功众筹到了超 1 万枚 ETH,约合 4300 万美元。

此次募捐获得了加密货币交易平台 Gemini、Coinbase、a16z 等知名机构宣传助威,且由于在苏富比的拍卖需要使用法币参与,FTX US 总裁 Brett Harrison 表示 FTX 也愿意为 ConstitutionDAO 提供加密货币与法币的兑换服务。

捐赠到 ConstitutionDAO 的 ETH 被兑换成了对应数量的 PEOPLE 代币,一时间,PEOPLE 的炒作引发了 meme+DAO 的魅力。人们开始寻找下一个同类项目,而 FreeRossDAO 恰到好处地出现了。

FreeRossDAO 的叙事正如其名,就是为了释放「丝绸之路」暗网电商平台的创始人 Ross Ulbricht。

在「丝绸之路」上,除了可以匿名购买铺满全平台的枪支、Drug 等违禁品,还可以支持比特币交易。彼时的比特币才刚刚出现一年,「丝绸之路」成为了全球第一家支持比特币交易的电商平台。可以说,Ross 对比特币的推广功不可没。

2013 年,创始人 Ross 被捕,并因共谋洗钱、计算机黑客、Drug 走私和经营犯罪企业而被定罪,需要在监狱里终身监禁,还要加上额外的 40 年。正是这样一个罪人,为了让其提前获释,FreeRossDAO 通过 Juicebox 筹集了 2836 枚 ETH 以拍下 Ross 的 NFT 收藏品 Ross Ulbricht Genesis Collection。

FreeRossDAO 向捐赠者承诺 ROSS token,随后 ROSS 被更名为 FREE。而「free」这一更具 meme 属性的词也似乎成为了 Juicebox 上的一股新叙事。

其中,AssangeDAO 就是为「free 阿桑奇」而创建的 DAO。Julian Assange(朱利安·阿桑奇)因创办的 Wikileaks(维基解密)曝光了大量机密信息而被控 18 项罪名,并被判处 175 年的刑期。

AssangeDAO 于 2022 年春节期间创立便迅速蹿红,在短短数日之内募捐到约 14, 890 枚 ETH。该 DAO 旨在筹集 ETH 以换取 JUSTICE 治理代币,以竞标由数字艺术家 Pak 与 Julian Assange 合作制作的 1/1 NFT。

从 PEOPLE 到 FREE 再到 JUSTICE,每一次募捐的背后都伴随着一枚 meme 币的炒作,或许这次为支持 Alexey 和 Roman 而募捐的 ETH 也将带来下一个新的 meme 叙事。

值得注意的是,受美国大选影响,美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普先后表示过当选后可能将特赦 Ross 和阿桑奇,此番言论让 FREE 和 JUSTICE 代币相继拉盘,重回大众视野,而 Juicebox 这次新的捐款 DAO,看看能带来多大的影响力。

Podcast Notes: Hyperliquid Has Become the Top Interest Point for Traditional Hedge Funds

Empire Podcast hosts Jason Yanowitz and Santiago Santos discuss the surging institutional interest in Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual exchange, marking the highest level of engagement from traditional hedge fund managers since Paul Tudor Jones endorsed Bitcoin in 2020. The primary driver is the demand for weekend trading of commodities like oil, especially during geopolitical tensions such as the Iran conflict, as Hyperliquid provides the only active price discovery venue when traditional markets are closed. Trade XYZ, a front-end on Hyperliquid, has seen significant growth, with weekend oil price predictions having a median error of only 50 basis points. Santos predicts commodity trading volume on Hyperliquid will surpass Bitcoin within the year and that its market cap could rise from $25 billion to $100 billion. Other key points include Kraken raising $200 million at a reduced valuation of $13.3 billion, and the SEC clarifying that self-custodied DeFi frontends like MetaMask are not subject to broker-dealer rules, resolving a major regulatory uncertainty. The hosts also note the strong correlation between crypto and macro markets, with the S&P 500 posting one of its best 10-day rallies since 1950. They highlight MicroStrategy's continued Bitcoin acquisitions and the potential of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization as a key trend. The discussion concludes with skepticism towards many L2 projects, predicting a wave of protocols truly going to zero as capital concentrates in proven assets like Bitcoin and Hyperliquid.

a16z: The Next Frontier of AI, The Triple Flywheel of Robotics, Autonomous Science, and Brain-Computer Interfaces

a16z presents a comprehensive investment thesis for the next frontier of AI: Physical AI, centered on a synergistic flywheel of robotics, autonomous science, and novel human-computer interfaces (HCIs) like brain-computers. While the current AI paradigm scales on language and code, the most disruptive future capabilities will emerge from three adjacent fields leveraging five core technical primitives: 1) learned representations of physical dynamics (via models like VLA, WAM, and native embodied models), 2) embodied action architectures (e.g., dual-system designs, diffusion-based motion generation, and RL fine-tuning like RECAP), 3) simulation and synthetic data as scaling infrastructure, 4) expanded sensory channels (touch, neural signals, silent speech, olfaction), and 5) closed-loop agent systems for long-horizon tasks. These primitives converge to power three key domains: * **Robotics:** The literal embodiment of AI, requiring all primitives for real-world physical interaction and manipulation. * **Autonomous Science:** Self-driving labs that conduct hypothesis-experiment-analysis loops, generating structured, causally-grounded data to improve physical AI models. * **Novel HCIs:** Devices (AR glasses, EMG wearables, BCIs) that expand human-AI bandwidth and act as massive data-collection networks for real-world human experience. These domains form a mutually reinforcing flywheel: Robotics enable autonomous labs, which in turn generate valuable data for robotics and materials science. New interfaces provide rich human-physical interaction data to train better robots and scientists. Together, they represent a new scaling axis for AI, moving beyond the digital realm to interact with and learn from physical reality, promising significant emergent capabilities and value.

Conversation with Bitwise Advisor: From K-Shaped Economy to AI Taking Jobs, How Can Bitcoin Save the Younger Generation?

Jeff Park, a macro strategist and advisor at Bitwise, argues that the traditional financial system is broken, particularly for young generations. He describes a "K-shaped economy" where asset inflation enriches the wealthy while leaving others behind, with unaffordable housing as a key symptom. Park explains that real estate is often a depreciating asset due to maintenance costs and taxes, yet it remains unattainable for many young people due to distorted demand from global capital flows. He proposes Bitcoin as a superior store of value—scarce, portable, and free from maintenance costs or excessive taxation. By diverting capital away from real estate, Bitcoin could help lower housing prices and increase accessibility. Park also discusses the decline of traditional "smart investing" (e.g., value stocks) and the rise of "ideological investing" in non-correlated assets like crypto, luxury goods, and collectibles. On AI, Park warns it could trigger extreme social inequality by eliminating jobs while boosting corporate profits. He believes this will push younger generations toward Bitcoin, not only as a hedge but also as a symbol of decentralization and data sovereignty—offering an alternative to centralized AI systems that use personal data without fair compensation. He advises a diversified portfolio with Bitcoin as a core holding to hedge against currency devaluation and systemic risk.
