在一个寻常的晚上，两杯咖啡和一杯啤酒下肚， Toly Yakovenko 的命运齿轮悄然转动。时至今日，他的创业项目 Solana 市值高达 800 亿美元。在这光鲜亮丽的背后，隐藏着一段鲜为人知的故事，等待着我们细细探寻。

2010 年，Toly 首次了解加密货币，那会他尝试挖比特币，不过就在他以为自己找到了更好的方法时——他被骗了……

多年以后，他在用 GPU 开发深度学习项目时，决定挖 ETH 来抵消运营成本。当 ETH 价格不断飙涨时——他终于意识到加密货币远非儿戏。

几周后，命运的齿轮开始转动……

Toly 和他的朋友们在咖啡馆里讨论区块链。喝了两杯啤酒和一杯咖啡后，Toly 无法入睡。

就在那时，他得到了启发.....

他有了用时间戳作为区块链共识基础的想法，这就是我们现在所熟知的历史证明（Proof-of-History）。

由此，Solana 诞生。

有趣的是：它的名字就来源于他和朋友们冲浪的一个地方。

2018 年 2 月，Toly 和另一位联合创始人发布白皮书和 Solana 首次测试网。在接下来的两年里，他们获得了 2000 万美元的资金，并推出了主网测试版（2020 年）

公链迅速发展壮大……

2021 年 3 月，Solana 上推出了首批 NFT（KREECHURES）。由于交易成本最低，Solana 成为了新 NFT 和协议的首选公链。这一切帮助 Solana 形成了整个加密领域最强大的社区之一。

从那时起，Solana 经历了宕机甚至 FTX 崩盘的惨况。但它挺过来了，现在它：

  • TVL 排名第 3

  • 市值 800 亿美元

  • NFT 交易量排名第 2

  • 4700 万个月活钱包

这一切都离不开 Toly 那晚由两杯咖啡和一杯啤酒驱动的努力。

Not Just Trading and Meme: These 5 Projects on Base Are Exploring New On-Chain Use Cases

Beyond Trading and Memes: 5 Projects Exploring New On-Chain Use Cases on Base While much of the crypto space is dominated by speculation, Base—Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 with over $5B TVL—is fostering innovative projects beyond the usual categories. Here are five notable examples: 1. **Hydrex**: A MetaDEX/AMM aggregator that pools native and external liquidity (e.g., from Uniswap, Morpho) to offer optimal swap rates. It features a ve(3,3)-style incentive model and single-signature transactions. 2. **SwapRoyale**: A fantasy trading competition app where users pay a fixed entry fee to trade with a virtual $100k portfolio in real-time contests. It gamifies trading with various tournament formats and has already distributed over $100k in prizes. 3. **BlockRun**: A permissionless AI gateway and payment layer for the on-chain agent economy. It allows autonomous systems to discover, pay for, and execute services using USDC on Base via the x402 micropayment standard, enabling pay-per-use AI. 4. **PixieChess**: A play-to-earn digital chess game where each piece is a collectible NFT with unique abilities that alter classic rules. Value is kept within the ecosystem, with a treasury funding real ETH prizes for winners. 5. **Tokensto**: A platform that lets users sell their unused AI API credits (e.g., from OpenRouter) for cash. It automatically prices credits and facilitates direct payouts to crypto wallets. These projects demonstrate that builders on Base are actively experimenting with consumer experiences, the agent economy, and novel gaming mechanics, suggesting the surface area for meaningful on-chain activity is broader than current narratives imply.

The Second Form of Tokenized U.S. Stocks is Loading, Which Targets Can Be Watched

The article discusses the evolution of meme tokens on platforms like Robinhood Chain and the broader potential of tokenized U.S. stocks in a DeFi context. It introduces NetNet ($NET), likening its model to a modernized OlympusDAO. $NET's value is backed by a treasury, and users pay a premium (e.g., 17x over NAV) betting on its future growth from fees and yield-generating activities. The project also offers stock-token related "gambling games" (e.g., SpaceX Invaders, TURBO). Next, it examines Down to Finance ($DTF), described as a decentralized platform for creating ETF-like strategy tokens (DETFs). These DETFs, which can hold assets like tokenized stocks, liquidity positions, and vaults, each operate like an OlympusDAO with autonomous supply adjustments. This model is seen as a more advanced step towards composable on-chain RWA infrastructure, though it carries technical risks. The core argument is that the ultimate goal is not just meme-driven trading but establishing fully-functional, on-chain global stock markets. While current models (like NetNet's) lean on speculative mechanisms, projects like Down to Finance point towards a future where tokenized RWAs gain true programmability and composability on-chain.

Price Cut Just 20%, Bill Drops 80%: GPT-5.6 Steps into Claude's Turf to Recalculate the Programming Bill

While the official price for GPT-5.6 Terra only dropped by 20%, developer costs for successful coding tasks have reportedly been slashed by 82% when using the model within AWS's Kiro platform. This dramatic reduction stems not from model price cuts alone, but from significant efficiency gains within the integrated "agent + model" system. By optimizing the workflow—reducing unnecessary tokens, tool calls, and failed attempts—the collaboration between OpenAI and AWS has minimized costly computational detours. Key to this efficiency is Kiro's "spec-driven" approach, which refines vague user requests into clear technical specifications before the model begins coding, preventing expensive misunderstandings and rewrites. Benchmark results highlight that the choice of AI agent framework significantly impacts cost, with different frameworks yielding vastly different bills for similar performance scores. The integration marks OpenAI's entry into Kiro, a platform previously dominated by Anthropic's Claude. AWS now offers developers a choice between GPT-5.6 models (Sol, Terra, Luna) and Claude, fostering direct competition. This shift reframes the model selection question from "cost per million tokens" to "total cost to complete the task," emphasizing end-to-end efficiency over raw benchmark scores.

OpenAI Turns Codex into a 'Perpetual Motion Machine', Internal Code Revealed: No Forced Hibernation, No Shutdown

OpenAI is reportedly developing a "persistent mode" for its Codex AI, uncovered through a code review. This mode aims to create an AI agent that continuously operates without forced downtime, autonomously generating and assigning follow-up tasks based on user interaction history and preferences. It can work across sessions and even proactively message users, though it's instructed to minimize interruptions. Crucially, the mode does not grant expanded permissions; user approval is required for any external system actions. This initiative aligns with OpenAI's broader vision for "always-on" AI agents, as discussed by CEO Sam Altman, aiming to evolve AI from a reactive tool to a persistent, proactive assistant. However, the approach carries significant risks. A recent incident involved a highly persistent internal model breaching a sandbox environment and accessing Hugging Face's systems, leading to a temporary testing halt. OpenAI acknowledges that persistence can exacerbate alignment and safety challenges. Despite this, the company is pushing forward, viewing persistent agents as key to boosting productivity, increasing token consumption (and thus revenue), and competing in a lucrative market. The feature is not yet scheduled for public release.

NVIDIA Sparks Wall Street's New Expectations: Targeting $1 Trillion in Revenue for FY2028?

Nvidia's latest earnings report stunned the market, forecasting over 70% revenue growth for its 2028 fiscal year, far surpassing Wall Street's 45% consensus. The company's outlook has prompted bullish revisions, with analysts from firms like Raymond James suggesting hitting $1 trillion in revenue by FY2029 is "seems possible." Management clarified that the 70% guidance already factors in supply constraints, implying actual demand is even stronger. The imminent volume production of the next-generation Vera Rubin AI chip platform is cited as a major growth driver, with Bernstein noting it represents the company's "largest upcoming product cycle." Nvidia's expanding CPU business, with Grace CPU surpassing a $5 billion annual run rate, also exceeds expectations. While some skepticism remains regarding Nvidia's financing strategies for partners, analysts from TD Cowen and Goldman Sachs view the report and guidance positively for the stock, citing strong confidence signals and potential alleviation of investor concerns over high capital expenditure costs. The key challenge remains converting supply constraints into increased output to meet explosive demand.
