链上版《饥饿游戏》,浅析Uniswap新收购的Crypto:The Game

北京时间 6 月 10 日晚间,Uniswap Labs 官方宣布已完成对基于 Base 区块链的交互式加密生存游戏 Crypto:The Game(CTG)的收购 ,具体金额未披露, CTG 的三位联合创始人 Dylan Abruscato、Tyler Cagle 和 Bryan Lee 均将加入 Uniswap,共同推进 CTG 第三季游戏的开发。

从定位上看,CTG 是一款基于区块链的“真人大逃杀”类型游戏,你可以简单地把它理解为一款链上的《饥饿游戏》或是《鱿鱼游戏》。

在 CTG 中,玩家们需要通过购买入场券的来获取限量的游戏参与资格(第一季为 410 人,第二季为 800 人,第三季未定)。入场券为 NFT 形式,初始发售价格为 0.1 ETH,且后续也允许自由交易 —— 这意味着玩家可通过二级市场来间接获取参与资格,包括那些被淘汰之后希望“卷土重来”的玩家。

游戏开始后,持有 NFT 入场券的玩家们将被随机分配至 10 个不同的部落之内,紧接着,大逃杀正式开始。

游戏进行期间(设有 10 天的最长时限,以保证游戏及时结束),所有的玩家们将以部落为单位进行每天的“免疫挑战”,挑战的形式非常多样(比如街机游戏或寻宝游戏等等),每天挑战积分最高的部分将迎来“平安夜”(即全员安全),而其他部落则必须在内部投票选择淘汰掉一名玩家。

在谈及投票的筛选标准时,某位真实参与过该游戏的玩家曾对 UnChained 表示:“我们在决定投票淘汰某人时会考虑多种因素,比如玩家关联的 X 帐户是否看起来像机器人,或是玩家在团队聊天中的活跃程度如何,甚至是玩家选择的 NFT 头像讨不讨喜 —— 在我的部落中,某个 Moonbird NFT 持有者上来就被票飞了。”

当被淘汰后,玩家所持有的 NFT 入场券也会迎来变化 —— 从玩家身份转变为陪审团身份,以在游戏最长时限的最后一天内投票决出最后的获胜者,该获胜者最终将一人独享奖池内的所有金额。

在过去的几个月内,CTG 已经成功举办了两季游戏。其中,第一季游戏共有 410 名玩家参与,奖池总金额为 41 ETH,最终一名叫作 MFL 的匿名玩家取得了胜利;第二季游戏共有 800 名玩家参与,奖池总金额为 80 ETH,最终第 733 号玩家取得了胜利。

在谈及自己的获胜经历时,MFL 曾对 Decrypt 表示,他相信大多数其他玩家都比他更聪明,由于自己并未私下结盟,起初他曾预计自己会早早被淘汰,所以自己对待本次游戏的态度就是“享受比赛”,比如给其他玩家做一些有趣表情包,或是写些诗来表达自己对于比赛的看法。

然而现实的情况却是,MFL 自始至终都没有收到一张淘汰票,并最终拿下了大奖。CTG 联合创始人 Dylan Abruscato 就此表示,MFL 的行为在游戏中赢得了其他玩家的青睐,事实证明这也是一种成功的策略。

总而言之,CTG 的趣味在于它很好地做到了竞技性与人性博弈的结合。此外非常重要的一点则在于,CTG 会通过官方播客的形式来解说每日的实时赛况,以充分调动外部观众情绪,放大社交媒体的讨论度,进而为比赛造势。

说回 Uniswap,作为 DeFi 领域的绝对龙头,Uniswap 过往也曾在其他非 DeFi 领域进行过业务扩张,比如收购 NFT 聚合交易平台 Genie,以及自行开发移动端钱包服务,但将触手直接伸及至游戏领域尚属首次(此前有过一些间接合作案例)。

在谈及该笔交易时,Uniswap 是这样描述的:“今年对于 Uniswap 来说是非常忙碌的一年。我们发布了 UniswapX,提交了 v4,推出了 Uniswap 钱包,增加了对更多链的支持,并且我们还有更多计划。Uniswap 的目标一直都很简单 —— 打造可为用户提供最佳链上体验的产品。这就是为什么我们非常高兴欢迎 CTG 的加入。

至于 Uniswap 的入局是否会影响 CTG 的游戏机制,Uniswap 也解释道,粉丝们无需担心,游戏机制不会有任何变化,但会有一些新的设计,具体内容无法透露太多,但相信第三季将是迄今为止最好的一季。

Micron Shuts Up the Bears, Makes India's 'Buffett' Regret: Sold Too Early, Missed Out on $2 Billion

Indian value investor Mohnish Pabrai, a disciple of Warren Buffett, revealed his costly mistake of selling shares in Micron Technology too early. He initially invested in 2017, holding it for six years and building a position as large as 77% of his portfolio, based on a thesis that the memory chip industry would consolidate into a stable oligopoly of Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. However, he sold his entire stake in September 2023, fearing oversupply after Samsung announced production expansion. Shortly after his exit, demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) surged with the rise of AI, and Micron's stock price skyrocketed over 15 times in two years. Pabrai estimates this premature sale cost him roughly $20 billion in potential gains. He expressed similar regret over selling his investment in SK Hynix too soon, stating he violated his own principle of holding companies forever. Reflecting on these errors, Pabrai emphasized his core investment checklist principles: avoiding leverage, focusing on the durability of a company's competitive moat, and assessing management's character. Despite these personal trading missteps, his long-term view on the remaining memory chip leaders remains bullish, advising current holders not to sell as "the party is just getting started." He concluded by sharing his philosophical outlook, prioritizing character over wealth, and his goal to donate his entire fortune before his passing.

Mihoyo's Next Protagonist Is Her, Who Plays the Piano

Mihoyo, widely recognized for its hit game Genshin Impact, has long harbored a grander ambition: creating a virtual world where one billion people would want to live. While its character design is unparalleled, the company recognizes a fundamental limitation—these beloved virtual characters are not truly "alive." Their dialogue and actions are pre-scripted. This drive for authentic "living" characters has guided Mihoyo's strategic investments in cutting-edge fields like brain-computer interfaces, AI (including an early investment in MiniMax), and nuclear fusion. Following the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, co-founder Cai Haoyu stepped down from management to lead a new overseas AI venture, Anuttacon, focused on creating AI-driven virtual beings. Mihoyo's path has involved experimentation and iteration. Anuttacon's early project, *Whisper of the Stars*, showcased real-time AI conversation but revealed limitations in underlying language models. The team subsequently focused its resources on developing a sophisticated "emotional" large language model, distinct from purely utilitarian AI. Co-founder Liu Wei (Dawei) announced plans to invest up to 100 billion RMB in this AI pursuit. The first tangible product of this vision is *BSide: Olivia Lin*, a free Steam application featuring a piano-playing virtual companion. Unlike typical AI chatbots demanding constant interaction, Olivia Lin operates on a slower, more deliberate rhythm—responding to letters, playing user-submitted melodies, and serving as a desktop presence. This design emphasizes "lifelikeness" over exhaustive conversation, strategically working around current technological constraints while building a sense of authentic connection. The company's journey traces back to its name, "miHoYo," where "mi" pays homage to the virtual singer Hatsune Miku. For nearly two decades, fans have loved Miku, a character unaware of their devotion. Mihoyo's ultimate goal, now backed by massive investment and AI research, is to bridge that gap—to create virtual beings that can truly know they are loved.

Citrini Research: Taking Stock of 5 Major Investment Themes Overshadowed by the AI Trade

Citrini Research identifies five under-the-radar investment themes potentially overshadowed by the dominant AI trade. With capital and analyst attention overwhelmingly focused on AI infrastructure, these overlooked areas present alpha opportunities as market dynamics shift. **Theme 1: Airlines** – Despite strong fundamentals, stocks like Delta and United have been penalized for 18 months due to macro concerns (tariff-inflation, oil prices), not profitability. A rebound is expected as these headwinds fade, aided by trends like premiumization and the 2026 World Cup. **Theme 2: Senior Housing** – A pure demographic play. The U.S. population over 80 is projected to grow 56% in the next decade, drastically outpacing supply. This creates a compelling need for facilities, benefiting REITs like Welltower and operators like Brookdale. **Theme 3: Live Events & Entertainment** – "Being there" is becoming a luxury. This sector has outperformed even tech over the past decade. Companies like TKO Group (WWE/UFC), Cinemark, and IMAX are capitalizing on demand for premium, in-person experiences. **Theme 4: Exchange Competition** – CME Group's ~98% monopoly in U.S. interest rate derivatives faces its first real challenge from FMX Futures Exchange. Backed by major Wall Street banks, FMX offers lower fees and margin savings. While CME's deep liquidity remains an advantage, FMX provides a competitive alternative. **Theme 5: Fintech Recovery** – Heavily sold off in 2026, fintech stocks like SoFi, Robinhood, and Upstart are showing signs of a rebound based on improving fundamentals—SoFi's stablecoin launch, Robinhood's transformation into a "financial super app," and Upstart's renewed AI lending narrative—rather than a change in sector outlook. The report advises maintaining some AI exposure but diversifying into these neglected "small themes" where mispricing exists due to a simple shortage of investor attention.

21Shares Mid-Year Key Report: Bitcoin's Four-Year Cycle Remains Intact, Stablecoins and Tokenization Emerge as New Growth Engines

21Shares Mid-Year Report 2026: Bitcoin Cycle Intact, Stablecoins & Tokenization Emerge as New Engines This mid-year review assesses progress against 21Shares' ten predictions for 2026. While the overarching shift from narrative to fundamentals holds, performance varies. Key findings show Bitcoin's four-year cycle remains evident despite market maturation. Global crypto ETP AUM has declined to ~$140B, lagging the $400B target, though product innovation continues. Stablecoin supply surpassed $320B, demonstrating non-cyclical demand but falling short of the $1T forecast due to slower regulatory clarity. DeFi TVL, stalled at ~$140B, was hindered by major security incidents. Corporate crypto treasuries hold ~1.28M BTC ($100B), with consolidation pressuring weaker players. Prediction markets are on track, with $57.5B volume already surpassing half the $100B annual target. AI agent infrastructure is ready, but adoption is early. Ethereum L2 consolidation is underway, with the top 5 capturing nearly 90% of activity. Compliant token launches have a platform but lack mainstream volume. Tokenized RWAs total ~$31B on public chains, but institutional pipeline growth is strong. In summary, fundamentals like stablecoins, tokenization, and prediction markets are advancing, but targets require faster adoption or price appreciation. The market is maturing, yet cyclical patterns persist.
