以太坊Braid:构建抗审查的区块链未来

在区块链技术的快速发展中,一个日益凸显的问题是如何在依赖共识机制的环境中实现有效的抗审查。传统区块链大多由领导者驱动,这种机制赋予了领导者对交易选择和排序的过大权力,从而导致了潜在的审查风险。这种风险不仅威胁到区块链的透明性和公正性,也限制了其作为去中心化平台的广泛应用。正是基于这一背景,Braid 应运而生,旨在解决以太坊中的抗审查问题。

抗审查对于区块链技术的健康发展和广泛应用具有重要意义。首先,它是保障区块链透明性和公正性的基石。区块链的不可篡改性和透明性是其核心价值所在,而审查则是对这一价值的直接威胁。其次,抗审查也是区块链去中心化特性的体现。通过实现抗审查,以太坊能够真正成为一个不受单一实体控制的去中心化网络平台,为更多的用户和应用提供支持。

Braid 目标就是构建一个能够抵御审查的以太坊系统。它目前处于早期阶段,但已经展示了其独特的设计思路和技术潜力。Braid 的核心概念是通过多块并行和同步释放等技术手段,打破单一领导者对以太坊的垄断控制,从而保障交易的自由流通和以太坊网络的公正性。

其中 Braid 的设计原理主要包括多提议人模型和同步释放等关键元素。多提议人模型通过引入多个并发提案者,增加了交易被阻止的成本,从而提高了以太坊的审查抵抗力。而同步释放则确保所有提案者在同一信息集上同时行动,进一步增强了系统的公正性和透明度。此外,Braid 还采用了延迟执行等策略,让多个提案者对交易状态产生影响,进一步保障了以太坊网络的稳定性和可靠性。

在与现有方案的比较中,Braid 展现出了其独特的优势。在多提案者的 LMD-Ghost (Latest Message Driven Ghost)共识机制中,可能需要在本地视图中存储高分支因子树,以解决分叉选择问题。而 Mysticeti(Sui) 解决方案虽即将投入生产,但在优雅地管理验证者数量方面存在一定限制。相比 LMD-Ghost 和 Mysticeti(Sui)等方案,Braid 不仅实现了更强的审查抵抗力,还保留了以太坊的透明性和公正性。同时,Braid 的设计更加简洁和高效,降低了实现难度和成本。这些优势使得 Braid 成为解决以太坊审查问题的有力候选方案。

在具体实现中,Braid 采用了多块并行的方式,并使用相同的共识机制来确保这些链之间的一致性和协同工作。通过运行多个并行区块,Braid 实现了对交易处理的分散化和去中心化,从而有效抵御了审查风险。同时,Braid 还开发了一种名为「最终性装置」的技术工具,用于完成交易的最终性处理。这种工具通过提取所有链上的交易联合体并重新排序这些交易来确保交易的最终性和一致性。

相比传统区块链设计,Braid 具有显著的优势。首先,它实现了更强的抗审查能力,保障了以太坊的透明性和公正性。其次,Braid 的设计更加简洁和高效,降低了实现难度和成本。这些优势使得 Braid 在未来具有广泛的应用前景。例如,在拍卖等需要高度透明和公正性的领域中,Braid 可以作为一种理想的解决方案来提供支持。

在以太坊创始人 Vitalik 转载 Braid 相关推文时所言:「看到这样的进展,真是令人振奋!区块构建这一议题似乎正逐渐接近其光明的前景。」

的确,每一次的技术突破和理论创新,都是向着那个更加理想、去中心化的区块链世界迈出的坚实步伐。我们期待着,随着研究的深入和技术的迭代,以太坊将能够克服所有挑战,引领区块链行业迈向更加辉煌的未来。

STRC Unpegged by 11%, Can Strategy's Perpetual Motion Machine Keep Turning?

STRC, the perpetual preferred stock of MicroStrategy, is experiencing a persistent de-pegging from its target par value of $100, with the discount recently widening to over 11%. This de-anchoring challenges the core design of STRC, which was intended as a stable, income-oriented security operating near $100. As a crucial funding engine for MicroStrategy's Bitcoin acquisition strategy, STRC's price reflects market confidence in the company's entire capital model. The company's "capital flywheel" relies on issuing STRC at or above $100 via an At-the-Market (ATM) program to raise cash for buying Bitcoin, thereby boosting company equity and theoretically supporting STRC's value. A monthly adjustable dividend mechanism was designed to maintain this peg. Despite raising the dividend to 11.5% and increasing payment frequency, the de-pegging persists. Market concerns extend beyond technical factors like leveraged arbitrage unwinding. Analysts point to MicroStrategy's limited cash reserves relative to its ~$1.7 billion annual dividend obligation for preferred shares. While the company counters that its vast Bitcoin holdings could cover decades of payments, this argument hinges on the potential need to sell Bitcoin—a shift from its longstanding "hodl" narrative. The company's recent sale of a small amount of BTC, framed as a test, amplified these liquidity and strategy concerns. If STRC remains discounted, impairing MicroStrategy's ability to raise cheap capital, fears may grow that the company could sell more Bitcoin to meet obligations. This scenario could transform MicroStrategy from a major market buyer into a potential seller, posing significant downside risk for Bitcoin. The re-pegging of STRC is thus a key indicator for the health of MicroStrategy's capital structure and its market impact.

Silicon Valley's Most Sought-After New Role Has Emerged

Silicon Valley's New Most Wanted Job: The Rise of the Forward Deployment Engineer The AI industry is witnessing a significant shift. The focus has moved from developing cutting-edge models to deploying them effectively within enterprises. This has made the "Forward Deployment Engineer" (FDE) a critical and highly sought-after role at major firms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. For the past three years, the industry prioritized model scientists. However, companies are now facing a harsh reality: purchasing powerful AI tools does not guarantee productivity gains or organizational change. The biggest hurdle is not the technology itself, but integrating it into complex legacy systems, workflows, and corporate cultures. This includes challenges like data silos, compliance requirements, and internal resistance. The FDE role, pioneered by Palantir Technologies, addresses this "last-mile" problem. FDEs are deployed on-site with clients for extended periods. Their job is to deeply understand the client's specific organizational structure, processes, and pain points, then tailor and implement the AI solution accordingly. They combine skills in technology, project management, and organizational change. A clear signal of this trend emerged in May 2026 when three AI giants made major moves. Anthropic launched a $1.5B joint venture for enterprise deployment. OpenAI formed an independent deployment subsidiary, DeployCo, with over $4B in commitments and acquired a deployment consultancy. Google Cloud's CEO publicly announced a large-scale recruitment drive for FDEs. This shift represents a fundamental change in the software business model: from selling tools to selling guaranteed outcomes. FDEs are the agents of this change, responsible for delivering a working system within the production environment, not just a demo. Real-world cases, such as challenges at Goldman Sachs (compliance barriers) and Target (internal cultural resistance), illustrate that the primary obstacles to AI adoption are organizational, not technical. An FDE's value lies in navigating these human and procedural complexities to facilitate a successful "AI migration." In essence, as core AI technology becomes more accessible and affordable, the true premium is shifting to the human expertise required to understand organizations and drive change—making the FDE role pivotal for the next phase of the AI revolution.

When the World Cup Collides with Agents: From Web2 to Web3, How Are Wallets Evolving into Agentic Wallets?

World Cup as a Catalyst for Agentic Wallets: From Web2 to Web3 This article explores how the World Cup provides a real-world scenario for observing the evolution of digital wallets from simple asset managers towards "Agentic Wallets"—intelligent, AI-powered interfaces. Using the example of prediction markets like Polymarket, it illustrates how AI Agents can lower the barrier to Web3 interaction. Instead of navigating complex DApps, users can express intent in natural language (e.g., "I think Portugal will win") within platforms like Discord or web pages. The Agent then interprets this intent, finds the relevant market, and seamlessly guides the user through the on-chain transaction via their wallet. The core shift is from wallets as mere "function menus" for signing transactions to "intent interpreters" that understand user goals. The article highlights parallel developments in traditional finance, such as Mastercard's "Agent Pay" and WeChat Pay's AI tests, which focus on granting AI controlled, authorized, and auditable payment capabilities. This underscores a broader trend of AI entering the financial layer. However, the article emphasizes that the primary challenge for Agentic Wallets in Web3 is not automation but establishing clear security boundaries. Unlike traditional systems with chargebacks, on-chain transactions are often irreversible. Therefore, future wallets must ensure users retain ultimate control and comprehension. They need to transparently communicate an Agent's permissions, spending limits, authorized durations, and provide easy ways to pause or revoke access. The World Cup experiments represent early steps toward wallets that are not just applications but ubiquitous, intelligent interfaces that simplify Web3 while keeping users securely in control.

Options Don't Work in DeFi? Vitalik Might Not Agree

For years, the prevailing view has been that options struggle to gain traction in DeFi due to complexity, fragmented liquidity, and lack of natural demand compared to products like perpetual futures. However, a recent algorithmic stablecoin design proposed by Vitalik Buterin presents a different perspective, using options not as a standalone trading product, but as foundational infrastructure for other financial instruments. In this design, one unit of ETH is split into two components: a "stable" side (P) that retains value up to a specified strike price, and an "upside" side (N) that captures all appreciation above that strike. Combined, they always equal one ETH, eliminating debt, margin, and liquidation risks inherent in typical collateralized debt position (CDP) stablecoins. The stable component essentially mimics the payoff of a covered call option. To function as a stablecoin, this structure requires continuously rolling deep in-the-money calls, which introduces challenges like rollover slippage, predictable transaction flow vulnerable to front-running, and persistent liquidity needs. A core hurdle is finding consistent buyers for the leveraged ETH upside exposure (N). While it offers leverage without funding rates or liquidation, it must compete with simpler alternatives like direct call options or perpetuals. The system's scalability depends on a sustained demand for this specific form of leverage. The author draws parallels to their experience with Rysk, where earlier versions of DeFi options protocols struggled. The breakthrough came with Rysk V12, which aligns incentives: asset holders generate yield by selling covered calls against their holdings, while market makers efficiently acquire the desired option exposure. This demonstrates that options can find product-market fit when embedded as a risk distribution and pricing engine within structured products, stablecoins, or yield-generating assets, rather than marketed as a complex direct trading instrument. Vitalik's proposal reinforces this architectural approach—using fully collateralized, non-custodial, and physically settled options as a fundamental building block. The real opportunity for options in DeFi may lie not in becoming the next perpetual swap, but in powering the next generation of on-chain financial products.
