定义元宇宙

元宇宙仍然是一个没有明确定义的无定形术语,尽管这并没有阻止名人或实体绞尽脑汁靠上这个概念。

我从该领域最前沿的公司和个人那里收集了各种最佳定义(下面的粗体=强调我的)。

“一个我们将以 3D 形式进行游戏和连接的地方。” – Meta(原Facebook)

“互联网的未来:一个大规模、持久、交互式和可互操作的实时平台,由相互连接的虚拟世界组成,人们可以在其中社交、工作、交易、娱乐和创造。” - Coinbase

“一个持久的、实时的数字世界,为个人提供代理感、社会存在感和共享空间意识,以及参与具有深远社会影响的广泛虚拟经济的能力。” - Pier Kicks,Bitkraft Ventures

“元宇宙是一个大规模且可互操作的实时渲染 3D 虚拟世界网络,可以由无限数量的具有个人存在感和连续性数据的用户同步和持续地体验。例如身份、历史 、权利、对象、通信和付款。” – Matthew Ball,METV ETF,MakersFund,Epyllion Ventures

就像早期的互联网一样,定义在很大程度上并不重要,但整体主题仍然有意义。从这些定义中,我们可以从“大规模数字世界”和“虚拟经济(交易和游戏)”等短语以及“同步”、“互连”和“可互操作/数据可移植性”等术语中编织出一条共同线索。在互联网的早期采用中,它同样被归类为“实时信息”、“信息网络”和“公众可访问”等词组。互联网最终体现的远不止早期的定义,但基本属性在很大程度上仍然是真实的。同样,对于元宇宙,其核心价值将是可组合数据、丰富的同步(共享)体验和更大的在线生活数字代理支持的应用程序。我们应该将这些属性视为“元宇宙”的指路明灯,而不是未来几年肯定会改变的定义。

Web3 在元宇宙堆栈中的作用

按照粗略描述,我们可以从终端消费者的角度来想象元宇宙和 Web3 的潜在互联基础设施。

消费者层

用户将与不同级别的应用程序交互——通常是在应用程序级别或通过聚合器和接口。 因为,这张图表是从消费者的角度堆叠起来的,所以用户与元宇宙应用程序交互的主要服务是:可发现性和可用性。 可发现性层将帮助消费者找到虚拟世界,而可用性层——移动应用程序、钱包和界面——将与这些虚拟世界交互的复杂性抽象化,以获得更方便的体验。 某些聚合器或接口显然有可能同时提供这两种功能。

元宇宙层

虽然元宇宙的表现仍然悬而未决,但最容易将元宇宙视为应用层。 元宇宙层是用户可以在其中找到虚拟世界的地方,无论它们是 2D 世界、虚拟世界 (3D) 还是在具有增强现实的现实世界中。

这些世界基于我们在早期定义中确定的元宇宙原语而存在。例如,元宇宙应该是同步的——或者同时发生。但是现在,即使是最受关注的虚拟体验,例如吸引数百万观众的 Fortnite 音乐会,也没有得到一致的体验。相反,虚拟音乐会被分解成数千个体验,每次体验(音乐会)最多可容纳 50-100 名玩家。此外,在 Web3 层启用的数字所有权将在元宇宙层中体验(例如,用户使用界面或市场购买化身并在虚拟世界中装备该化身)。

随着时间的推移,部分消费者层和元宇宙层可能会合并,但在此期间,个人在进入元宇宙之前可能仍会使用类似的界面或用户门户。

Web3 层

为了可视化与元宇宙相关的 Web3 层,最简单的方法是将其分为四个子层:

Web3源语 – 表示为金融经济和元宇宙互联世界所必需的协议或标准的属性。例如,NFT实现数字所有权,为用户在虚拟世界中提供某种形式的金融机构或权力。

金融层——元宇宙金融基础设施——DeFi 层——用于在 Solana 和 Ethereum 等区块链网络之上交易元宇宙商品。这一层是目前 Web3 中最强大的层,我们可能会看到虚拟世界构建自己的垂直集成市场,然后再将其聚合到一些应用程序中。

Web3基础设施层– 核心基础设施协议和区块链,负责构建虚拟世界的去中心化后端,包括计算、存储、查询、网络等。

协议层——基础区块链层,包括协议桥、第 2 层以及中间件的核心部分。

互联网基础层

多年来基本保持不变的核心互联网基础设施。虽然其中一些可能会改变——硬件改进、与 DNS 的加密集成(例如 ENS)等——但现有的大部分基础设施将保持非常相似。

我们现在在哪里?

在元宇宙和 Web3 实现之前,还有很大的改进空间。在技​​术方面,区块链网络仍然需要更大规模的大众消费应用程序,而虚拟世界缺少对 AR 和 VR 硬件的关键改进,以使这些虚拟世界更加方便和愉快。

过去十年见证了消费者行为的重大转变,因为数字商品的价值——数字货币(即 BTC、ETH、稳定币)、资产(例如 NFT)等——无处不在。最突出的例子之一是化身皮肤——数字服装——在像 Fortnite 这样的游戏中,现在代表了一个价值数十亿美元的产业。

最后的想法

虽然我仍然有偏见,但我相信 Web3 将成为元宇宙的基础后端基础设施。实体房地产产权一直是民族国家发展的基础组成部分,而区块链网络中的数字产权是用户可以控制和代理其资产的虚拟世界的基础组成部分。同样,数据可移植的元宇宙将需要区块链网络,因为这些属性——可组合性、互操作性、数字所有权等——肯定不会从当今存在的中心化数据垄断中灌输。

The Verdict in Choi Tae-won's Divorce Case: Revealing the Inheritance Undercurrent Behind SK Hynix's Trillion-Won Empire

SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won's high-profile divorce case, involving a record 1.38 trillion won settlement, has drawn attention to the succession plans for Korea's second-largest conglomerate, especially its crown jewel, SK hynix. Unlike traditional chaebol scripts centered on the eldest son, Chey's three children from his marriage to former President Roh Tae-woo's daughter, Roh Soh-yeong, are carving distinct, non-traditional paths. Eldest daughter Chey Yun-jung (b. 1989) is seen as the most evident successor. With a scientific and consulting background, she holds executive roles at SK bioscience and SK Inc.'s growth support department, focusing on future strategy and biopharma. Her marriage is to an AI infrastructure entrepreneur, not a traditional business alliance. Second daughter Chey Min-jung (b. 1991) took a unique route, voluntarily serving as a South Korean naval officer, including an anti-piracy deployment. She later worked on policy and strategy for SK hynix in Washington D.C. before co-founding an AI-driven healthcare startup. She married a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, connecting her to U.S. defense and policy circles—networks crucial for a global semiconductor giant. The only son, Chey In-geun (b. 1995), who studied physics like his father, worked briefly at SK E&S before joining McKinsey. Despite fitting the traditional "heir" profile as the eldest son, he remains silent and holds no public position or shares in SK, suggesting the old succession playbook is obsolete. As SK hynix's valuation soars, becoming a geopolitical asset in the AI era, the heirs' legitimacy is no longer automatic. They must prove themselves in fields like AI biotech, global policy, and strategic consulting. Their marriages also reflect new elite networks in tech and defense, not old political alliances. Their inheritance is the complex challenge of navigating a globalized, tech-driven world, not just a corporate throne.

From OpenSea to OpenRouter: Is Alex Atallah Repeating His 'Exit at the Peak' Playbook?

From OpenSea to OpenRouter: Is Alex Atallah Repeating His "Exit at the Peak" Playbook? According to the Wall Street Journal, payments giant Stripe is in talks to acquire the AI model aggregation platform OpenRouter in a potential deal valuing the company near $100 billion. This would mark founder Alex Atallah's second creation of a company reaching a $100 billion valuation, following his co-founding of NFT marketplace OpenSea. OpenRouter, founded just over three years ago, has grown rapidly by acting as a unified gateway for developers to access over 400 AI models. It currently has about 10 million users and processes over 200 trillion tokens monthly. While the platform's annualized revenue is around $50 million, its valuation has skyrocketed from $1.3 billion in March 2026. The potential acquisition by Stripe, a company OpenRouter's founder once likened it to, represents a major expansion into AI infrastructure for the payments leader. This move echoes Atallah's previous timing with OpenSea, where he departed before the NFT market's significant downturn. For OpenRouter, selling now may be strategic. Despite its scale, its business model—charging a 5-5.5% fee on AI inference calls—faces pressure from competition, open-source models, and potential price wars among model providers, limiting its profitability narrative for an IPO. A key asset for potential acquirers like Stripe is OpenRouter's vast repository of real-world AI usage data, which offers unique insights into model performance and developer preferences that are difficult to replicate. Whether this potential deal signifies a new valuation benchmark for AI infrastructure or another market peak signal remains to be seen.
