为什么市场唱衰以太坊的声音总是此起彼伏?简单来说:以太坊生态系统确实面对内忧外患的焦灼处境,内有layer2等扩展方案一直挺不起脊梁,外有Solana等杀手始终亡我坊之心不死,创新乏力和竞争压力下的以太坊迎来了至难时刻

接下来,简单谈谈我的看法:

1)以太坊Rollups的大小生态系统已经成型,坎昆升级EIP-4844之后,以太坊短期技术层面的利好已然落定。更长期的分片链在Rollup冲击下已不再预期,而降低节点成本、简化协议以及底层ZK-SNARKs化等升级又仅是锦上添花。整个区块链行业都在等龙二以太坊交出一份满意的layer2答卷,然而截止目前,layer2并没有承载以太坊的“增长”预期。

2)实在讲,Rollups能从Plasma、Validium甚至平行链等多种扩展方案中脱颖而出,全在于Rollups采纳了一种执行和状态、结算等分层处理的主次链组合交互范式。正常逻辑下,layer2在确立一种和主网交互的安全共识之后,接下来就该强化并放大执行层上的性能处理优势,给以太坊主网输入增量用户和生态才对。

然而事实是,大部分layer2却选择了进行商业叙事级别的叠杠杆套娃,走Stack战略拉同盟,共享组件牵入layer3应用链,还有Rollup as a Service、DA as a Service、甚至AVS as a Service等等。这些乍一看能无限放大layer2商业和叙事想象空间的策略,都只能更长期叠加市场的预期杠杆,在扩大应用生态和赋能币价等方面并不能立竿见影。 

3)很长一段时间,总有人嘲笑以太坊Gas费 1Gwei,以此来讥讽以太坊layer2战略方向的失败,但换个角度看,这何尝不是以太坊靠layer2解决拥堵、Gas费高等问题的阶段性成功?只不过,糟糕的是layer2不仅没有以太坊带来预期的巨大生态和交易量,甚至还分流了一部分流量出走了。

实际上,layer2在解决以太坊性能不足能力上算成功的,OP-Rollup和ZK-Rollup阵营的竞争内卷也到达的白热化的程度,但选阵营搞infra而非纯应用创新暴露了以太坊开发者社区一个很尴尬的现状:过度依赖VC融资驱动发币而并非真正的价值创新。

尽管这是web3行业流入开发者人才越多,以及VC的资金流入趋多,进而竞争内卷加剧的直接结果。虽然创业门槛变高本来可以是市场趋于成熟的表现,在Crypto早期阶段,过度的内卷则成了项目高FDV扼杀创新的始作俑者。试想一个项目顶着巨大的FDV,一切努力只为快速Go to Market,怎么会有时间来沉淀价值创新。而to VC最有效的就是堆叠B端的商业叙事,C端应用这类紧迫但却不性感的方向则一直不温不火。所以,才让市场感知到infra> application的失衡吧。

4)尽管,以太坊杀手的性感叙事已经在上一轮牛市中被证伪了,但这一轮Solana、Sui、Aptos、Sei等高性能公链都直戳以太坊EVM的“低性能”软肋。虽然都不再喊着杀死以太坊,但不可否认它们在性能上的高并发和特殊Move语言安全机制等层面确实能冲击到以太坊,尤其是可能成为新一代web3应用生态滋生的沃土,比如:DePIN、大型游戏、intent 交易、AI Agent等等。

这是我认为新一代高性能公链最大的机会,不再堆叠infra预期,直接凭应用崛起来向以太坊宣战。

或者说根本就无需宣战,用模块化思想把以太坊归置到“结算层”的单薄叙事上,用新模块化执行层,DA层、Unified 流动性层等对对以太坊过去建立的话语权体系进行重构,不也是一种竞合成功?对其他链是,对以太坊又何尝不是,然而,这是我在其他高性能链或模块化、链抽象链上看到的趋向,但似乎以太坊还只是“被动挨打”的姿态,即使在ETF这等超前性利好的前提下,也没能放下架子来应对。

5)很多人还在对另一次DeFi Summer抱有期待,但反思以太坊layer2的不及预期,我很无奈的接受了,DeFi Summer或许永不复来的事实。

Vitalik Buterin 自己也很清楚,以太坊最大的困局可能就是过度的金融属性,DeFi这种承载金融属性的完美载体,既往成功经验和DeFi组合的无限套娃属性都让它天然契合人的投机偏好。以太坊生态此刻要考虑的不是重塑DeFi Summer,而恰恰是走出纯DeFi文化阴霾。

上一轮牛市横空出世的NFT,OpenSea由盛转衰也都未曾完全嵌套进DeFi框架内,但这并不影响NFT带领上一轮以太坊走出超强牛市,这一轮PolyMarket去中心化预测市场被重视,虽然并非新玩法,也不知道能不能掀起新生机,但好在,它也并非纯DeFi、或者说已经扩展重构了DeFi。如何把以太坊最大可能向web2世界融合,脱虚向实,才是大家应该真正预期的新Summer所在。

以上。

Note:作为一个长期的以太坊Holder,真心盼望以太坊能够走出内忧外患的至难时刻。但还是想强调,以太坊生态汇聚了最大规模的Geeker,也是对创新最敏感的领地,只要市场走出当下困局,相信以太坊还会是力挽狂澜最靓的仔。

以上碎碎念仅抛出了一些问题,至于以太坊layer2如何破局?敬请期待,我的下一篇文章。

18 Months, Over 50x Surge: KIOXIA's Epic Comeback

KIOXIA, a NAND flash memory giant, staged a dramatic comeback driven by AI demand. After a period of significant losses, a failed merger, and missed HBM opportunities, its 2024 IPO began modestly. However, fueled by explosive demand for AI data storage, its stock price skyrocketed over 50 times within 18 months, making it Japan's most valuable company, surpassing Toyota. Its Q1 FY2026 profit guidance soared 30-fold year-over-year, with 2026 NAND capacity already sold out. Key to its success is its 3D NAND technology, BiCS FLASH. As the inventor of NAND, KIOXIA advanced its technology through generations, reaching over 200 layers by 2023. Key innovations include CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array), which separately manufactures control circuits and memory arrays for better performance, and OPS (On Pitch Select Gate) to increase density. The company is now developing high-capacity packages like an 8TB solution stacking 32 dies. Looking beyond NAND, KIOXIA is exploring 3D DRAM with its OCTRAM technology, using oxide semiconductor transistors for ultra-low leakage to reduce power consumption. This fundamental research differs from HBM and represents a long-term bet to extend its 3D expertise from NAND into future DRAM architectures. KIOXIA's story highlights how technological assets and shifting market cycles can rapidly transform a company's fortunes. While questions remain about sustaining growth beyond the current AI boom, its resurgence demonstrates that in semiconductors, being down does not necessarily mean being out.

Market Trends in U.S. Stocks (June 23): Peak at Listing? SpaceX Loses Over $800 Billion in Three Days, Tech Stocks Experience Severe Internal Divergence

Stock Market Trends (June 23): Did SpaceX Peak at IPO? The company loses over $800 billion in market value in three days as a sharp divergence unfolds within the tech sector. SpaceX's post-IPO decline of over 20%, falling below its first-day close, reflects a swift market repricing. The catalyst is a clear shift in narrative from "AI platform potential" to concerns over rising capital costs, as its $8.57 billion IPO and subsequent $20 billion debt offering are earmarked for acquisitions and refinancing existing bridge loans rather than de-leveraging. While high-valuation tech stocks like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft faced pressure, Micron surged nearly 7% to a record high following a strategic supply deal with Anthropic for HBM and memory, highlighting robust, tangible demand in AI infrastructure. The broader market saw funds rotate into more defensive industrial and financial names. Macro factors included a dip in oil prices to a three-month low on news of a US-Iran framework deal, though logistical hurdles for resuming full Strait of Hormuz shipments remain. Key events ahead include Nvidia's shareholder meeting, Micron's earnings, and the May PCE inflation data. The latter will be crucial in determining whether the sell-off in high-valuation growth stocks, which appears to have just begun, will persist.

Interview with MicroStrategy CEO: Beyond the 32 BTC Selling Stir, 6 Trillion AI Agents are the Ultimate Endgame for Bitcoin

Interview with Strategy CEO: Beyond the 32 BTC Sale, 6 Trillion AI Agents are Bitcoin's Ultimate Endgame Strategy CEO Phong Le discusses the recent sale of 32 BTC, clarifying it was a minor, strategic move to demonstrate operational liquidity and internal process robustness to creditors and rating agencies, not a reaction to market fears. He emphasizes Strategy's disciplined, data-driven decision-making framework involving its board and complex financial modeling, distancing the company from centralized "black box" operations seen elsewhere in crypto. Le outlines the company's resilience and long-term focus, citing the "doing nothing" strategy during the 2022 bear market as a testament to its conviction in Bitcoin's underlying value proposition for global sovereignty and freedom. He reveals that generative AI was instrumental in developing their Stretch (STRC) preferred stock product, cutting development time from years to months. The most visionary part of the discussion centers on Agentic AI. Le envisions a future with 6 trillion autonomous AI agents conducting commerce, particularly in off-world environments like Mars, which would naturally adopt decentralized crypto rails and seek yield-bearing assets like Bitcoin as a core store of value. Finally, Le addresses the STRC product, expressing confidence it will return to its $100 par value through reserve replenishment and the initiation of dividend payments, and dismisses concerns about competition with stablecoins. He concludes by affirming Strategy's philosophy of expanding Bitcoin access through all available means, from self-custody to ETFs, to onboard the next wave of users.
