《优秀的壳资源链Solana》

0xSorosPublished on 2024-08-09Last updated on 2024-08-09

FTX崩溃后,Solana的TVL骤减67%,遭受重创。墙倒众人推。“Sam Coin、Sam Chain”完蛋了是许多人的直觉。不过Messari最近的一篇报告表明Solana的情况没有外界想象的糟糕。即便是在Sam失势后,Solana仍然具有重要的壳资源价值。脱离Sam的Solana反倒给了自己一次凤凰涅槃的机会。

从协议层面的进展,有由Jump推出的Firedancer轻客户端。公链的轻客户端越多,网络宕机的整体性风险也就越小。包括最近A16Z自己开发的以太坊轻客户端Helios是同样的道理。

也有Jito-solana这样结合流动性质押和MEV价值索取的应用。MEV Bot在每条公链成为标配。而以太坊上的FlashBot近期也公布了计划,有计划成为一条MEV Chain。类似于Dydx从以太坊生态的应用迁移到Cosmos做独立链。

说到DyDx去Cosmos上做应用链,我会觉得诸如此类的迁移更多是“叙事先行”。打铁还需自身硬。本质上还是得看自己能否被市场接受。一个本来能力就不行的项目,迁移到哪条链都是无济于事。当然不否认公链自身的用户属性和时机对项目崛起的重要性。像Axie就经历了EOS到ETH漫长的跨越周期的迁移探索。以及GMX从BSC迁移至Arbitrum后成为Arb最核心的项目。

无论是整体链,还是应用链。无论是L1还是L2。ZK也好,Optimistic也好。以及以上的所有排列组合。一切都是技术革新上的探索 哲学层面的探讨。最终还要落实到创新性项目诞生并且被市场接受。实际上每一条链,每一条L2,每一条Rollup能诞生一个爆款应用并且围绕它产生生态,已是成功。这也符合马太聚集效应的理论。A16Z的基础堆栈和应用迭代理论是神作。

像其他优化节点和数据效率的一些进展,QUIC/QOS/Local Fee Market等等因过于技术不赘述。

作为PoS网络,去中心化的问题逃不过。尽管有2000多个节点,130多个数据中心,35个区域,网络仍然集中在少数节点/数据中心/区域中。PoS网络都逃不过这个问题,以太坊几万个节点也无可避免。追溯到五年前,十年前,PoW网络也是集中的。既然世界上的财富本就是集中的,我倒是更愿意接受PoW转PoS是为了减少环境污染的说辞。

Solana上的所有游戏,典型像Aurory/Star Atalas等等,在21/22年曾经轰轰烈烈,至今未上线主网,大概率是难产了。Eclipse and Nitro是两个有趣的项目,他们在尝试把Solana的虚拟机SVM迁移到Celestia和Cosmos这类的Rollup链上。Solana曾经让大家一度相信是一条专注于专业Trading的链,因此在订单本Dex/专业衍生品领域会有大突破。Drift,/Zeta Markets/Friktion/PsyOptions这些衍生品项目,也都是不温不火。在Serum崩溃之后,出现了几个社区主导的Sreum Fork项目OpenBook,/Ellipsis Labs/Lifinit等。这未尝不是一件坏事。也许Solana真的是一条有专业交易优势的链,只是前期过多的被Sam主导导致没有发挥出其优势。

数据显示Solana上的开发者贡献数量在SOL代币价格下跌95%的情况下仍然呈现年2.5倍的增长。对这个数据略持怀疑。如今Solana上的初始投资机构Multicoin等早就赚的盆满钵满,渐渐会退出Solana的主导和控制。道理也不难明白,套现走人了而已。同样的,未必是坏事。Sam的崩溃和机构的有序撤退,让Solana变得纯粹。在有优秀壳资源的前提之下,有社区化的可能性。至于下轮周期是否能突破前十,还是下一个EOS,就看运气吧。

NVIDIA CPU Advances, China's RISC-V Responds: Semiconductor Deep Dive - Part Four

NVIDIA is set to launch its new Vera AI data center CPU in China as early as August, with high pricing. While this move offers a new option, it highlights China's continued dependence on foreign-controlled Arm architecture. In response, the Chinese semiconductor industry is increasingly turning to RISC-V as a strategic alternative for achieving high-performance computing autonomy. The article explores the concept of the "impossible triangle" in CPU development—balancing prosperity, control, and autonomy—and posits that RISC-V's open-source, modular nature offers a unique path to achieving all three. While RISC-V is already dominant in embedded systems, the focus is now shifting to data centers and AI workloads. China has become a global hotspot for RISC-V development, driven by AI-driven compute demand, supply chain concerns from export controls, cost benefits of open-source, and strong policy support. Multiple Chinese companies have reportedly crossed the key performance threshold of 15 SPECint per GHz, a benchmark for entering the high-performance CPU club. Progress extends beyond single-core benchmarks. Companies are developing complete computing subsystems, including commercial-grade coherent network-on-chip (NoC) technology and server processors with up to 40 cores that strictly adhere to the RVA23 standard to ensure software compatibility. Real-world applications are emerging in areas like video transcoding and edge AI. However, significant challenges remain. The RISC-V ecosystem faces fragmentation, immature toolchains and verification processes, and gaps in single-core performance and energy efficiency compared to mature x86 and Arm architectures. The formidable software moat, epitomized by NVIDIA's CUDA, is a long-term hurdle. In conclusion, while RISC-V cannot immediately replace offerings like NVIDIA's Vera, it represents a viable long-term path for China to develop a self-sufficient, high-performance CPU ecosystem. The journey is acknowledged to be long and arduous, requiring sustained effort to overcome technical and ecosystem challenges.

My Coding Betting Dashboard is Profiting, but Polymarket is Truly Not a Good Place for 'Arbitrage'

The author built a custom monitoring dashboard for Polymarket, a prediction market platform, and tested it with $1,600, achieving over 30% returns. However, the core argument is that Polymarket is not a good venue for traditional arbitrage. The dashboard has two main sections: a "Portfolio Dashboard" for tracking active positions with key metrics like total capital, P&L, and a risk-control module using a tier system (T1, T2, T3), and an "Opportunity Watchlist" for monitoring markets. The article details a critical structural trap in binary markets: a bet with a high perceived probability of success still carries a 100% loss risk if wrong. The author's T1/T2/T3 system is designed to manage this by limiting position sizes based on conviction and time horizon, emphasizing that high confidence should not equal high concentration. A key insight is the danger of "pseudo-diversification"—betting on different markets driven by the same underlying variable. The author concludes that Polymarket offers few true low-risk, arbitrage opportunities. It is instead a high-risk environment where wins can create a false sense of mastery, leading to large losses. The platform is better viewed as a training ground for honing judgment through disciplined, framework-driven betting rather than a reliable income source. The tools help transform intuition into structured, rule-based decisions to mitigate the risk of catastrophic errors.

WeChat AI Card Hands-On Guide: Has the AI Shopping Era Arrived?

**"WeChat AI Card" Practical Test Guide: Has the Era of AI Shopping Arrived?** WeChat has officially launched the "AI Exclusive Card," a feature integrated into its Workbuddy AI assistant. This card is designed to handle payments for AI-initiated purchases. Our hands-on test reveals it's not yet a tool for fully autonomous AI shopping, but rather a controlled payment layer for AI agents. The AI Card functions as an isolated sub-wallet within WeChat Pay. Users must bind the card and transfer funds into it from their main wallet. Crucially, every transaction requires explicit user confirmation via smartphone scan; AI cannot spend autonomously. Currently accessible through the Workbuddy agent, the card targets specific digital consumption scenarios: purchasing paid content (reports, data), calling paid APIs/tools, and subscribing to services. Its design prioritizes security and control by separating funds and mandating approval for each payment. We tested a real-world scenario: ordering bubble tea via Workbuddy using a "Meituan Life Assistant" skill. The process encountered multiple hurdles: high "skill" usage costs (exceeding daily free credits), and most importantly, while a payment was successfully initiated, the AI purchased an incorrect product (a mismatched group-buy coupon instead of the desired drink). This highlights the current limitation: the **AI Card only solves the payment step**. The broader challenge lies in the **AI agent's execution chain**—accurately understanding intent, navigating third-party platforms, selecting the right product, and ensuring proper fulfillment. The payment succeeded, but the purchase failed to meet the user's need. In conclusion, the WeChat AI Exclusive Card is a cautious, early-step experiment in AI commerce. It provides a secure, user-controlled payment method for agent interactions but is not yet capable of reliable, end-to-end complex purchases. For now, it's best used for low-value, low-risk digital services with careful user verification at each step. The vision of AI handling complete shopping tasks remains a work in progress.
