Usual Labs 是一家专注于稳定币技术的初创公司,创始人为 Pierre PERSON 为法国政治家、国会议员,是法国加密资产立法的领导者。

Usual 目前已经拿到了 700 万美元的种子轮融资,由 IOSG Ventures 和 Kraken Ventures 领投,知名二层网络项目 Starkware(Starknet 开发公司) 以及 Mantle 也在投资方列表之中。

Usual 协议的核心产品是稳定币 USD0,与传统的稳定币(如USDT和USDC)不同,USD0 是由到期期限极短的 RWA 资产以及国家债券等资产 1:1 支持发行的,这使其具有更高的安全性和稳定性,并降低了资产挤兑情况下被折价清算的概率。

在 Usual 的介绍中,多处以稳定币 USDT 的发行公司 Tether 进行举例和对比,他们认为 Tether 公司在发行了 USDT 之后,并没有将这些稳定币的收益返还给用户。

Tether 每年将近 $10B 的收益只分配给了少数人,其公司员工甚至不到 100 人,因此 Tether 常常被视为全球效益最好的科技公司。

而 Usual 要做的事就是,把代币发行的所有权和由此而产生的利润,交还给用户。

在 Usual Protocol 中,用户可以通过存入资产获得 USD0,这相当于他们在协议中的存款凭证(LDT)。

持有 USD0 的用户可以选择将其锁定以提供流动性,或发行流动性债券代币(LBT),即将 USD0 转换成 USD0++,从而参与 DeFi 生态系统并获取相应的收益。这部分的收益包括项目本身治理代币 $USUAL 的空投,以及潜在的存款收益。

Usual 在其项目设计中,巧妙地将积分凭证设计成紫色药丸,并提到了“Break free from the banking matrix”,这很难不让人联想到 20 年前的科幻巨著《黑客帝国》(The Matrix)。

Matrix 是《黑客帝国》中的一个虚拟现实系统,在人类与机器人大战失败之后,就由它控制和束缚着人类,使人类无法看到真实的世界。

Usual 提出的“Banking Matrix”这一概念,似乎用来比喻当前的银行系统或者中心化的稳定币发行公司,暗示这个系统像《黑客帝国》中的虚拟现实一样,束缚着人们,使他们无法看到或体验到去中心化金融的真正潜力和自由。

而作为积分的紫色药丸也与电影中的红蓝药丸有所呼应,在电影中,主角面临一个抉择:

  • 红色药丸:代表逃离虚拟现实系统,即使现实是痛苦的,也要知道真相。

  • 蓝色药丸:代表选择继续生活在虚拟的舒适假象中,不去打破现状。

而 Usual 设计的紫色药丸,是红色与蓝色的混合,它似乎更为强调平衡的选择,这可能意味着他们将会以一种新的、革命性的方式来打破传统银行系统或者是中心化机构的束缚,但与此同时,Usual 也会提供一种安全、可靠的稳定币(USD0)来替代它们。

这种设计既包含了“红色药丸”觉醒和改变的意义,也带有“蓝色药丸”提供安全和稳定的含义,、颇为有趣且新颖。

目前,Usual 已经在 7 月 10 日宣布其主网正式启动,并同步开启了积分活动。用户只要通过提供流动性或持有 USD0++ 就能获得积分凭证 Pills(药丸),未来可转换为 $USUAL 代币空投。

发放的空投数量将占 Usual 总供应量的 7.5%,活动于 2024 年 7 月 10 日 22:30 开始,并持续 4 个月,下面我们就来看一下 Usual 交互的具体步骤。

0项目交互

1、积分活动

https://app.usual.money/#SJYPG

首先,打开上面的项目网址,或者直接在左下角输入邀请码 “SJYPG”。

按照要求,关注官方推特,并连接你的钱包。

按照提示,一直往下操作,会看到存款界面,用户可以选择在这一步就将资产存入,变成 USD0。

这里的存款操作都是在 ETH 主网,如果当前手续费较高,也可以点击右上角的 “skip” 暂时跳过,后续再进行存款操作。

积分奖励规则如上图所示:

  • 直接持有 USD0++:用户可以用 USD0 直接购买 USD0++,每个 USD0++ 可以获得5个药丸(一次性),且随后的每天都可以获得 3 个药丸;

  • 提供流动性:用户可以在 Curve 中添加 USD0/USDC 或者 USD0/USD0++ 的 LP,每1美金的 LP 每天可以获得 1 个或者 3 个药丸。

如果暂时不需要操作,也可以跳过。

全部完成之后,用户就可以在项目首页看到自己当前的药丸数量,以及每天可以获得的药丸数量。

如果在之前步骤中没有存入资产,后续想要操作,在左边侧边栏中点击“Drugstore”,就可以看到持有 USD0++以及添加 LP 的选项。

同时,在页面顶部还可以看到一个增长倍数,即随着用户存款或者提供 LP 时间的增长,获取药丸的速度也会不断加快。

每天可以增加 2%,最快可以增加到 10 倍。当然,用户可以随时提走他们的资产,但是一旦提走,增长系数就会从 1 开始重新计算,即越早存款的用户,获得的药丸会越多,直到活动结束。

除了存款获得药丸,用户还可以参与拉新,邀请好友加入活动。每邀请一个好友,邀请人都可以获得好友药丸总量的10%作为奖励。

2、银河活动

https://app.galxe.com/quest/usual

除了官网的药丸收集活动,Usual 还在银河发布了新的“Pills Campaign”任务。

这部分均为一些常见社交任务,较为简单,感兴趣的用户也可以参与一下。

Just now, DeepSeek V4 updates with DSpark, improving inference speed by 80%

DeepSeek has updated its DeepSeek V4 model with the DSpark speculative decoding framework, achieving a significant 60-85% speedup in generation for Flash models and 57-78% for Pro models while maintaining the same overall throughput. This engineering-focused update, rather than a core architectural change, introduces DSpark to address latency and throughput bottlenecks in high-concurrency production environments. DSpark combines high-throughput parallel generation with adaptive load-aware verification. Its key innovations include a semi-autoregressive generation architecture to model dependencies within token blocks and a hardware-aware confidence-scheduled verification system. This system uses a confidence head to predict token acceptance probabilities, allowing it to dynamically optimize verification length per request and allocate compute only to tokens with the highest expected payoff. The asynchronous scheduler is designed for real-world deployment, ensuring zero-overhead scheduling and continuous CUDA graph replay while preserving the target model's output distribution. In tests across mathematical reasoning, code generation, and daily dialogue, DSpark outperformed state-of-the-art models like Eagle3 and DFlash, increasing average acceptance length by 26.7%-30.9% and 16.3%-18.4% respectively on Qwen3 target models. DeepSeek also open-sourced DeepSpec, a full-stack codebase for training and evaluating speculative decoding draft models, providing a standardized toolkit that includes data preparation tools, model implementations, training code, and evaluation scripts.

BIT Research: The 2028 Halving Is Not the End, the Real Shake-Up of the Bitcoin Mining Industry Is Just Beginning

The Bitcoin mining industry is undergoing its most complex structural adjustment since inception. Despite Bitcoin's price holding near $61,000 and the network hash rate approaching a record 1 ZH/s, miner profitability is deteriorating. The industry is operating close to its breakeven point, with the 2028 halving expected to accelerate consolidation. The challenges extend beyond the halving's subsidy reduction; the industry's revenue model has yet to successfully transition towards a fee-driven structure. Increasingly, mining companies are evolving from simple Bitcoin producers into infrastructure and energy operators, including providers of AI/HPC computing power. Competition is shifting from pure hash rate expansion to business model upgrades. Economic pressure is evident. The theoretical daily mining revenue at current prices is around $78 million, yet the actual figure is only about $33 million—a 136% gap. Transaction fees remain low at roughly $220k daily, far below historical implied levels. With a current estimated industry-wide breakeven price near $65,000, mining alone is struggling to generate ideal profits. The 2028 halving is projected to push the fundamental production cost floor to approximately $93,289. This will likely accelerate a shift towards consolidation among larger, well-capitalized miners with diversified revenue streams. Competitive advantage will belong to institutionalized players with access to low-cost energy, AI/HPC hosting operations, and stronger balance sheets. In essence, Bitcoin mining is transitioning from a "mining business" to an "infrastructure business." Future profitability and resilience will depend less on block rewards and more on diversified income sources like energy management and computational infrastructure services. For investors, the key question is not the halving itself, but which miners can successfully navigate this business model transformation.

This is How God Karpathy Uses Claude?

Andrej Karpathy, a prominent figure in AI, has reportedly joined Anthropic, leading to a noticeable decrease in his open-source contributions and social media activity. A document claiming to be his personal "CLAUDE.md" file—a set of instructions for the Claude AI to follow within a specific codebase—has been circulating online. While its authenticity is unverified, the content aligns closely with Karpathy's publicly shared principles on effective AI-assisted programming. The document outlines key rules for AI coding assistants, emphasizing the importance of reading existing code thoroughly before writing new code to maintain consistency. It advises against over-engineering, advocating for simple, surgical modifications that match the project's existing style. Other guidelines include clarifying assumptions upfront, writing meaningful tests, thoughtful debugging, and carefully considering dependencies. The core message is that these principles help prevent common AI coding failures, such as introducing unnecessary abstractions, style drift, or making invisible architectural decisions. The community has noted that even experts like Karpathy require detailed instructions to guide AI effectively, akin to managing a junior developer. A related GitHub repository, "andrej-karpathy-skills," which encapsulates these ideas, is reported to significantly reduce Claude's code error rate. Ultimately, the advice stresses that the best CLAUDE.md is tailored to one's own tech stack and coding practices.
