1/ 加密 VC 们在谈论些什么?

话题 1:L2 碎片化与互操作性

背景:关于以太坊以 Rollups 为中心的路线图一直以来都备受讨论,当前的 Layer2 是否真的能承载以太坊的增长预期?如何看待 L2 碎片化带来的影响?

Taetaehoho(1kx):是以太坊以 Rollups 为中心的路线图造成了糟糕的用户体验,还是那些不追求更高的执行吞吐量而追求 Rollups 框架策略的主要 Rollups?试想一下,如果 Arbitrum 和 Optimism 将他们的 gas limit 提高 10 倍,而不是试图创建一个生态。【原文为英文】(来源

Wei Dai(1kx):Taetaehoho 提出的观点非常好——Arbitrum 和 Optimism 本可以减少碎片的数量。我最近从 Ed Felten(Arbitrum 联创)的对话中了解到,Arbitrum One 的 MGas/s 上限使任何人都能运行一个完整的节点。这又是一个去中心化导致碎片化的例子。【原文为英文】(来源

Vance Spencer(Framework Ventures):总体而言,以太坊的路线图是好的,我认为需要更多关注 L1。更大的图景是建立一个以你的货币文化、VM 等为特色的其他区块空间提供商网络,这是这些资产维持 1T+ 美元 FDV 的方式。

区块空间市场的 L2 碎片化对任何链来说都是不可避免的,但如果做得好,这将为原生资产货币用例提供巨大的下沉空间,看看 ETH 在跨链桥和 DeFi 中的应用

提高 L2 的费用还为时过早,但讨论这个问题很好。这些市场远比人们想象的要大。【原文为英文】(来源


话题 2:我们需要什么样的 BTC 资产

背景:Wrapped Bitcoin(WBTC)背后的团队 BitGo 宣布计划将 WBTC 的控制权转移至其与 BiT Global 成立的合资公司,由于 BiT Global 与孙宇晨和 Tron 生态系统为战略合作关系,由此引发了对 WBTC 的信任危机。

The Full Story of How Crypto Unicorn Blockstream Is Mired in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details serious allegations of fraud against Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. In June 2024, investigative account NatInfoSec published a report accusing Blockstream's mining note (BMN) program of potentially operating a multi-billion dollar scheme with Ponzi-like characteristics. The core allegations focus on Blockstream Mining Notes (BMNs), which offer investors fixed annual yields up to approximately 20% from Bitcoin mining. NatInfoSec's investigation raises several key issues: 1. **Suspicious Hashrate & Payout Capacity**: The analysis suggests Blockstream would need 20-45 EH/s of mining power to cover its BMN obligations, but its public dashboard shows only around 15 EH/s. Furthermore, no verifiable public evidence (e.g., grid connection records, import data) was found to support the massive mining operation required. 2. **Questionable Payout Source**: The BMN contract allows Blockstream to use Bitcoin from *any source* (Substitute Performance BTC) to fulfill investor payouts, raising concerns that payouts may not come from actual mining revenue. 3. **High-Risk, Fixed Returns**: Offering ~20% fixed yields in the volatile, cyclical Bitcoin mining industry is viewed as highly unusual and requires clear explanation. 4. **Undisclosed Criminal Record of Key Figure**: Christopher William Cook, a key figure in Blockstream's mining operations and CEO of spin-off Exacore, was found to have a federal felony conviction for mail fraud in 2008, a fact not disclosed in BMN offering documents. His background was also allegedly embellished. 5. **Potential Contagion to BSTR SPAC**: Questions were raised about whether these liabilities and Cook's record should have been disclosed in the SEC filings for Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a separate Adam Back-associated firm planning a SPAC merger. The crypto community is divided. BitMEX Research validated Cook's criminal record and expressed concern over the high yields but found other evidence lacking or misleading, noting the legal separation between BMN, Blockstream, and BSTR. Blockstream defenders, like Samson Mow, argue the mining is real. Critics, however, emphasize the lack of independent, verifiable proof of the mining operation's scale and the true source of investor payouts. The article concludes that BMN remains shrouded in key unanswered questions regarding its actual size, the verifiability of its underlying mining assets and payouts, the source of its high yields, and the full role and disclosure concerning Chris Cook. Blockstream had not issued a comprehensive response at the time of writing.
