知名NFT项目“胖企鹅”Pudgy Penguins最近频传动向,甚至还出现在资管机构VanEck的ETH ETF宣传片中。5月时,Pudgy Penguins宣布与游戏工作室Mythical Games合作开发沉浸式手机游戏,将于2025年推出;6月,Pudgy Penguins宣布与其NFT 授权平台OverpassIP 联合成立了一家名为Igloo的母公司。

随后,更重磅的消息到来,7月23日,Pudgy Penguins宣布将创建名为“Abstract”的以太坊2层区块链。该Layer2以消费者为核心,并获得知名投资人Peter Thiel的Founders Fund领投的1100万融资。在此之前,Pudgy Penguins已经收购Web3创作者平台Frame,声称将借助其区块链建设的技术优势以及利用自身的社区和用户资源。

打造以消费者为中心的L2,或将空投

新的L2 Abstract是一个使用Matter Labs的ZK Stack和EigenLayer的数据可用性层EigenDA构建的Layer 2,从而使去中心化应用的开发过程更加容易、便宜和安全。除了构建这条链,Pudgy Penguins还计划建立一个开发者孵化器,旨在帮助应用程序实现从0到1。

Abstract此次的战略融资轮由Peter Thiel的Founders Fund领投,其他投资机构包括Fenbushi Capital、1kx、Everest Ventures Group和Selini Capital。Pudgy Penguins将使用这些资金建立全新的公司Cube Labs,从而监督Abstract这条链的发展,并为其提供贡献和支持。以太坊Layer 2 ZKsync的开发商 Matter Labs的前高级副总裁Michael Lee将担任Cube Labs的CEO。

Abstract目前已在测试网中运行,主网计划于今年年底左右上线,但是代币发行时间尚不清楚。Abstract团队目前在全球有约30名成员,Cube Labs在迈阿密有一个办公室。

Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz希望借助Abstract这个Layer2“搅局”。Luca Netz的野心很大,他表示希望将1亿名用户带到链上。 根据最近在YouTube 节目Milk Road的一次采访,Luca Netz表示,“消费者加密变革”将会发生在一条链上,这条链就是Abstract。实现这些目标的三个支柱是‘社区、文化和分发’(community, culture, and distribution)。根据现有的成绩,Pudgy Penguins可以做得非常好。他甚至还强调,“Abstract将成为Layer 2的代表名词,会是最大的Layer 2,而不是其中一个Layer 2,或是数千个Layer 2之一。”

Pudgy Penguins入局L2并不令人意外,市场也有一批NFT项目构建了自己的L2,比如Bored Ape Yacht Club的Apechain和Azuki的AnimeChain。

实际上,从技术实现难度来看,目前Layer2的构建难度和成本已经降低,Web3基础设施公司Lumx Studios的首席商务官Lugui Tillier最近撰文表示,如今启动和维护一个L2实际上非常快速且相对便宜。Rollup as a Service (RaaS) 公司可以在最多六分钟内启动并维护一个rollup,每月费用不到1000美元。但他也指出,当前L2发展面临诸多挑战。第一是市场流动性呈现碎片化,用户需要不断切换钱包,做资产桥接。第二,L2的交易成本的不稳定性和不可预测性,这对各种应用程序的开发非常不利。另外,这些新链还会导致市场进一步的碎片化。当然,这个问题部分由提供CDK的相同L2解决,Polygon、Optimism和ZkSync正在构建流动性聚合层,使成千上万的应用链和行业链看起来像一个整体。“成千上万的应用链和行业链即将到来,它们将对财务上可持续的链上开发至关重要。”

为了更好实现技术上的开发,Pudgy Penguins已经在近期收购了链上创作者经济平台Frame。去年12月,Frame在X平台宣布已完成新一轮融资,具体金额未披露。随后的今年1月,Frame发布了空投查询链接,但之后陷入数月的停滞。此前的Frame链会有强制版税的解决和原生ERC-6551支持,可以为每一个ERC721类型的NFT创建智能合约账户,该账户拥有以太坊账户的全部功能,从而使得被绑定账户的NFT具备可组合性。

根据官方的最新推文,Frame表示,如果用户此前是Frame的空投认领者,相关奖励将在Abstract的激励系统中得到确认。

卷入L2战局惹争议,CEO期待NFT回归

Pudgy Penguins目前的优势是看得懂社区和用户,并且能够实现良好的商业变现。比如,Pudgy Penguins基于NFT的实体毛绒玩具在沃尔玛等线下市场取得了显著的成功。截至7月初,这些实体玩具的零售销售额为1300万至1400万美元,售出了120万件。这成为他们公司在经济上运转良好的基础之一。

然而,在许多NFT项目市场表现低迷的背景之下,Pudgy Penguins的L2计划却引发社区调侃。Goose Wayne (GOFX) @usgoose评论说,“但是为什么呢?宣传材料真的只是‘我们分叉一个L2,进行炒作发布,然后通过大规模空投投放代币’吗?已经有超过 50 个 L2,Arb/OP/Base 为何无法解决 Pudgy Penguins 目前遇到的任何问题?”

不过,也有用户表示支持,比如Steve@SteveKBark表示,Luca Netz 展示出了“主要角色能量”,“他认为他的团队和Pudgy Penguins社区是他的竞争优势,因此他不想把这种魔力带给另一个 L2。所以他继续收购了自己的公司。

其实,针对NFT近期的市场表现,CEO Luca Netz也有自己的反思和展望。“我实际上认为,如果你看看今天的NFT领域,顶级项目的执行速度是NFT历史上从未见过的。这个机制仍然有效……加密市场是一个以财务驱动的市场,任何从财务角度提供巨大回报的事物都会经历起伏。尽管经历了波动,但它不会完全消失。因此,我认为NFT会回归。”

他表示,如果理解数字收藏的优势,并将其与实体收藏进行比较,另一个看涨的理由就会出现。当前收藏品市场的市值约为4500亿美元,而NFT市场的市值,即数字收藏品,只占其中的1%。这意味着实体收藏品与数字收藏品的比例为99比1,而数字收藏品相对于实体收藏品有很多优势。“很明显,当前99比1的市场市值比例并不能反映数字收藏品的真实优势。我认为这应该接近50/50的比例,这表明数字收藏品还有很大的增长空间。”

他进一步指出,尤其是在亚洲和中国,数字藏品正处于最受欢迎的状态,从消费者产品的角度来看,这一增长潜力非常强劲。“很明显,NFT将继续存在。世界正朝着数字化未来发展,数字所有权对任何理解互联网和我们社会发展方向的人来说都是显而易见的。NFT是这一转变的核心和支柱。人们希望收藏,渴望有价值的物品,并追求地位象征。我认为最糟糕的时期已经过去。”

现在看来,尽管Pudgy Penguins构建Layer2的动作收到了一些调侃,但新的动向也为NFT和更宏观的市场带来了一定的刺激,后续走势如何,我们将会密切关注。

Hong Kong Web3 Carnival: The Watershed Moment for Web3 Entering the Execution Phase

The 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival marked a significant shift from previous industry discussions, signaling that Web3 has moved beyond theoretical validation into a phase of institutional and structural implementation. Hong Kong is not merely building a "Web3 industry cluster" but developing an operating system for the next-generation financial infrastructure. Key developments include the expansion of asset tokenization beyond cryptocurrencies to encompass bonds, real estate, and future income rights. This transition represents a fundamental restructuring of financial logic—shifting from institution-dominated asset control to rule-driven, programmable asset流动性 and distribution. Tokenization enables lower-friction participation and broader access to financial resources. Concurrently, AI is evolving from a tool into an autonomous economic agent. The proposed Decentralized Agentic Economy (DAE) framework suggests AI agents, empowered by blockchain-based identity and programmable money, will independently execute transactions and strategies—redefining market dynamics and reducing intermediation. Regulatory progress has been systematic: Hong Kong has expanded oversight to include exchanges, custody, staking, and derivatives, while gradually approving products like tokenized funds and stablecoins. The "same risk, same regulation" principle, combined with sandbox mechanisms, provides stability and transparency—key advantages in a globally fragmented regulatory landscape. Hong Kong’s approach integrates three core elements: real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, stablecoin settlement networks, and AI-driven economic agents. This systemic build-up positions Hong Kong not just as a participant but as a potential rule-maker in the next-era financial system, where asset flow, rules, and participants are simultaneously transformed.

EternaFi Agents and $AINFT: A Comprehensive Analysis of AI-Powered NFT Infrastructure in the Web3 Ecosystem The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology is rapidly evolving, establishing innovative platforms that redefine ownership models and economic participation. EternaFi Agents, along with its native token $AINFT, exemplifies a groundbreaking approach to the tokenization of AI infrastructures through the means of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Launched in July 2025 by the development team at Nova Club, EternaFi merges the advancements of AI with the decentralized financial mechanisms of blockchain, presenting a unique investment opportunity for participants within the web3 ecosystem. This article aims to provide an in-depth assessment of EternaFi Agents, covering its core components, functionality, and significance within the crypto landscape. Introduction and Project Overview EternaFi Agents stands as a salient example of how blockchain technology can democratize access to advanced AI capabilities. The project endeavors to reshape the paradigm of AI ownership by diversifying economic participation, making sophisticated AI systems accessible to a larger pool of stakeholders. At its core, the project tokenizes a proprietary large language model (LLM) developed by Nova Club, allowing NFT holders to gain fractional exposure to the model's economic performance. By utilizing NFTs representing stakes in the LLM, EternaFi Agents fosters a model wherein stakeholders not only participate in AI service consumption but also enjoy sharing in the economic rewards generated by the platform. This transformative approach enables the development of sustainable revenue models for AI services, all the while promoting broad community engagement and facilitating transparent governance. What is EternaFi Agents? EternaFi Agents represents an AI-NFT infrastructure project that aims to blend the capabilities of AI with blockchain technology in a coherent ecosystem. The essential feature of this project is the creation of NFTs that serve as financial instruments, representing fractions of ownership in Nova Club's proprietary AI infrastructure. Each NFT symbolizes direct exposure to the economic performance of the underlying AI system, providing a lucrative opportunity for investors. The project operates on the Base blockchain, known for its scalability and efficiency, thus ensuring manageable transaction costs while facilitating a seamless operational experience. One of the notable features includes a revenue-sharing mechanism, wherein NFT holders can receive portions of subscription income generated by the AI services provided on the platform. This innovative approach establishes a connection between the success of the AI services and the economic dividends distributed among the holders, thus ensuring an alignment of interests across the community. Who is the Creator of EternaFi Agents? The creative force behind EternaFi Agents is Nova Club, a development team based in Singapore proficient in the amalgamation of AI and blockchain technology. Their prior experience in AI development and cryptocurrency analysis gives credence to the project, contributing a breadth of expertise to the creation of EternaFi Agents. Nova Club’s mission centers on democratizing access to cutting-edge AI technologies while building sustainable economic models that benefit users alongside developers. Their commitment to transparency, community governance, and innovation is reflected in the design and implementation of the EternaFi platform, aiming to establish a unique ecosystem that fosters positive engagement and long-term value creation. Who are the Investors of EternaFi Agents? The specific details concerning investors or investment organizations backing EternaFi Agents are not publicly available. However, EternaFi has adopted an inclusive approach to funding its development through the sale of NFTs to the public, allowing a wide array of participants to invest in the ecosystem. The project’s architecture ensures that core infrastructure is funded responsibly while allowing community members to partake in the ownership and economic returns generated from the AI services. This model emphasizes community engagement by aligning the interests of investors and project developers, creating a collaborative environment where long-term participation is incentivized. How Does EternaFi Agents Work? EternaFi Agents operates through a multifaceted ecosystem where NFTs serve as a primary means of ownership representation within the project. Each NFT holder is entitled to a share of the monthly subscription income produced by the underlying AI-powered platform, thereby positioning NFT ownership as a lucrative investment vehicle. Revenue Generation Mechanism The primary source of revenue generation for the EternaFi platform stems from subscription fees related to the AI services provided. Users can access various tiered services, ranging from basic market analysis tools to comprehensive AI-assisted trading solutions. These services are monetized and form the basis for the revenue-sharing framework, which distributes profits to NFT holders through automated smart contracts. An innovative feature of the EternaFi ecosystem is the revenue-sharing mechanism that operates transparently, ensuring that rewards are allocated based on verifiable metrics from the AI platform's operations. This creates a direct link between the performance of AI services and the returns available to community investors, establishing a sustainable economic model. Staking and Vesting Mechanisms Participants within EternaFi can engage in staking their NFTs to unlock additional economic benefits. The vesting schedule is designed to promote long-term commitment among participants, rewarding those who exhibit ongoing support for the project. This ensures a robust alignment of interests and fosters a sense of community engagement essential for achieving the project's long-term goals. Transparent Governance EternaFi Agents embraces decentralized governance, allowing NFT holders to play an active role in decision-making regarding the platform's development and future directions. The governing structure includes community voting mechanisms, providing NFT holders with the opportunity to influence significant decisions and contributing to a collaborative approach to project growth. Timeline of EternaFi Agents The development trajectory of EternaFi Agents showcases a systematic approach toward building a sustainable AI infrastructure while meeting the needs of community participants. Below is a timeline of important milestones in the project’s history: July 2025: Launch of EternaFi Agents, including the public sale of NFTs and deployment of the $AINFT token on the Base blockchain. Q4 2025: Establishment of market infrastructure including liquidity pools and launch of staking dashboards for NFT holders. 2026: Initiation of community engagement programs, expanding AI capabilities, and integration with cross-chain technologies. Q4 2026: Implementation of the dividend distribution system, allowing NFT holders to reap economic benefits from their investments. These milestones signify the focus on establishing a functional and participative ecosystem while ensuring continuous evolution to meet market demands. Technological Infrastructure and Blockchain Integration EternaFi Agents is anchored in an advanced technological framework combining AI systems with blockchain capabilities. Operating on the Base blockchain, the project leverages the advantages of scalability and low transaction costs. The underlying smart contract architecture governs the NFT ownership, revenue sharing, and community management features, ensuring efficiency and transparency. AI System Development The proprietary large language model underpinning EternaFi Agents has been independently developed and designed to cater to revenue-generating applications without reliance on proprietary external frameworks. This endeavor reflects a commitment to creating a versatile and adaptable AI infrastructure capable of delivering meaningful services to users, thus generating economic value for investors. Security Measures The robustness of EternaFi’s security infrastructure is paramount. Regular audits and stringent security measures ensure the integrity of the AI systems and blockchain mechanisms, safeguarding against potential vulnerabilities while fostering confidence among participants. Conclusion EternaFi Agents signifies a landmark innovation within the realm of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, opening avenues for community ownership and economic participation in advanced AI capabilities. The project’s comprehensive strategy to tokenize AI infrastructure via NFTs establishes a precedent for future decentralized ecosystems. By harmonizing technical sophistication with user-centric economic models, EternaFi not only fosters engagement but also generates a sustainable revenue-sharing framework for community participants. The significance of EternaFi extends well beyond its operational success as it exemplifies how blockchain can democratize cutting-edge AI technologies, paving the way for future ventures in this intersectional space. The evolution of EternaFi Agents may herald a new era of AI development characterized by participant-driven governance, sustainable economic models, and transparent verification, ultimately contributing to the broader democratization of AI and technology accessibility across industries.
