主导Solana升级的“代码疯子”离职创业,剑指高性能L1颠覆旧世界


今日早间,一则人事变更的重磅消息引爆了 Solana 社区.


凌晨时分,Solana 核心开发者 Cantelopepeel 宣布将从 Solana 客户端团队 Firedancer 离职并创建 Unto Labs。Cantelopepeel 称 Unto Labs 将构建新一代 Layer 1 区块链,该链将“专为性能打造,绝不妥协”。

Cantelopepeel 何许人也?


Cantelopepeel 在 Github 上有一个更出名的名字,Liam。
他曾在 Solana 生态的开发、升级进程中发挥着重要作用,过去两年间,Cantelopepeel 负责领导了 Solana 生态备受期待的 Firedancer 客户端的开发工作。

在 Breakpoint 2024 上,Cantelopepeel 曾展示了 Firedancer 的开发成果。该客户端可在全球私有集群中运行,每秒处理 100 万 TPS、每秒 10 亿个计算单元,区块空间使用量达 1 Gbps。

在今日发布的声明中,Cantelopepeel 将 Firedancer 描述为目前性能最高的开源区块链客户端,是构建高性能应用程序(无论是区块链还是其他)的绝佳基础,并为自己对它所做的贡献感到自豪。
然而,这些依旧不够。
目标:新一代区块链

在 Cantelopepeel 看来,随着用户规模的扩大,区块链之上的真实用户活动比测试环境下的演示要复杂得多。现有的区块链在满足用户和应用程序的现实世界需求时会遇到困难,所以需要构建一些新的东西来满足现实需求。
Cantelopepeel 认为,想要在性能和用户体验方面实现代际级别的改进,必须采用全新的方法。为此 Cantelopepeel 将使用一些未经测试的全新想法来尝试构建“最佳 Layer 1 ”。


Cantelopepeel 明确提到,这并不是要创建一个新的 SVM 网络,而是要重新设计架构,重新构建虚拟机、共识以及二者之间的一切,所有这些工作都服务于同一个目的 —— 为用户和应用程序提供更多的空间。

在现已上线的 Unto Labs 官方社交媒体主页上,有一句话可以清晰的描述 Cantelopepeel 的愿景:“在现实的极限中构建全球分布式系统。”


疯子与天才


Cantelopepeel 的离职再创业在 Solana 生态内部引发了广泛讨论。


Solana 网络维护团队 Anza 首席经济学家 Max Resnick 于 X 发文表示,很期待看到 Cantelopepeel 能够做出些什么。


Succinct 开发者 Uma Roy 则表示:“Liam 曾经向我展示过他在 Firedancer 写的代码,简直难以置信。这个人是个疯子!我对他接下来要建造的东西感到很兴奋。 ”

后市影响

在 Cantelopepeel 做出决策后,市场最关心的无非两大问题,一是对 Solana 会造成什么影响?二是能否尽早参与至 Unto Labs?


关于第一个问题,其实不用太过担心,虽然 Cantelopepeel 的离职势必会带来一些波折,但 Firedancer 的开发工作本就已接近完成,本月早些时候还曾传出过关于 Solana 基金会正加紧进行 Firedancer 测试的消息,因此预计 Cantelopepeel 的离开不会对 Firedancer 的正式上线造成太大影响。


至于第二个问题,Unto Labs 暂时仍处于极早期阶段,Cantelopepeel 自己也对此的描述也是“将使用一些未经测试的全新想法”,当下暂无任何产品可供试用,所以感兴趣用户暂时仅需关注其动态即可。不过,Cantelopepeel  今日曾提到 Unto Labs 已开始进行招聘,Odaily 星球日报查询后发现仅有两个开发岗位,工作地点均为旧金山,有条件且感兴趣的开发者不妨一试。

Nearly a Hundred Players Rush into Embodied Data: With 4.47 Billion Yuan in Financing in One Year, Who Can Really Make Money by 'Selling Data'?

The domestic embodied AI data industry has attracted nearly 100 players, with 70 focused on data collection and 27 on data infrastructure. In the past year, 15 independent embodied data service providers raised approximately 4.47 billion yuan. Despite this growth, the sector remains early-stage, fragmented, and faces significant challenges. Data collection methods are diverse, categorized into four main routes: teleoperation of real robots, human demonstration without a robot (using motion capture, exoskeletons, etc.), simulation synthesis, and distillation from internet videos. Most companies (43%) adopt hybrid approaches, combining multiple routes, as no single method can meet all training needs. Teleoperation alone is pursued by 31% of players, often by state-owned platforms and robot companies, while newer firms favor asset-light, no-hardware human demonstration. Independent data service providers now form the largest player group (40%), indicating the emergence of a distinct industry segment rather than just a subsidiary function for robot makers. Two-thirds of all players are "embodied-native" startups, while one-third are companies that pivoted from fields like AI data annotation, which are more prevalent in the data infrastructure layer. Current annual industry capacity is estimated at 1.6-1.8 million hours plus 70-80 million data points, with a short-term goal to increase this 15-20 fold within 1-3 years. Data collection factories are spread across 20 provinces in China, concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and Pearl River Delta regions. Financially, the 4.47 billion yuan raised in the past year pales compared to the 43.8 billion yuan raised by the broader embodied intelligence sector in just the first half of 2026, highlighting that data remains a less "sexy" bet for investors. The 15 funded independent providers show clear stratification: a top tier led by a unicorn (Lightwheel Intelligence, 3.1 billion yuan), a middle tier of 11 firms raising tens to hundreds of millions, and an early-stage tier of 3 companies. Sixty-nine investment institutions have participated, but none have made concentrated bets, reflecting uncertainty about viable business models. Over half of these funded companies are less than a year old, most are at pre-A or A rounds, and profitability remains largely unproven. In summary, the embodied data industry has become an independent track creating jobs and local economic activity. However, it is still nascent, with unformed consensus, unsolved problems, and unproven business models. The coming 1-2 years will be a critical validation window to see if companies can build sustainable, profitable businesses purely by "selling data."

Dialogue with Multicoin Partner: The Crypto Market Has Bottomed Out, Favoring Three Cryptocurrencies in This Cycle

In a recent interview, Multicoin Capital managing partner Tushar Jain shared his views on the crypto market. He believes the market has bottomed and is at an inflection point, citing that negative news no longer causes significant price declines and application adoption continues to grow. Jain remains highly bullish on Solana, viewing it as the correct architectural choice for internet capital markets, particularly for spot and tokenized security trading. He is also positive on Hyperliquid, noting its leadership in decentralized derivatives trading. His investment approach focuses on concentrating capital in top convictions rather than equal allocation. A distinct opportunity he highlights is Zcash (ZEC), which he sees as a return to the industry's cypherpunk ethos and a potential top-five asset by market cap. For assets like Zcash without cash flows, his valuation framework is based on relative market cap ranking. Regarding investment strategy, Jain employs a "three-part" entry method to avoid timing pitfalls and emphasizes long-term "active management" over "active trading." He outlines four sources of investment edge: informational, analytical, behavioral/psychological, and structural. On portfolio management, the fund uses Bitcoin as its "cash," selling assets into Bitcoin during market euphoria to reduce beta risk and using Bitcoin to buy dips. Sales occur only if a better opportunity arises, the investment thesis breaks, or valuations become excessively overheated. While respectful of Ethereum's resilience, he questions its unclear scaling roadmap. Finally, Jain reaffirms his commitment to the thesis that blockchains will form the foundational architecture for future capital markets.
