从可组合性看 Aptos 的 “生不逢时”

Aptos 的出场可谓众星捧月,和 Solana 一样,它使用的新的共识协议,并以高性能自居。事实上仅从编程语言来看,Move 的确在提升性能方面有一定优势,并且代码安全性较高,它是最有潜力构建出像 Solidity 这样的生态系统,甚至超越 Solidity 的智能合约编程语言。如果 Aptos 在两年前甚至更早的时候上线,我会对它抱有极大期待,然而现在很可能生不逢时。

可组合性

编程语言的可组合性是构建区块链应用生态的一个重要因素,可组合性高的语言有利于建立应用之间的交互操作。

Move 最初作为 Libra 链的智能合约编程语言,设计之初就考虑到了不同的应用场景。据称,Move 团队在尝试将 Move 运行在 EVM 之上,虽然会损失合约之间的传递资源的特性,但有助于 Move 生态的扩展以及 Move 生态和 Solidity 生态的融合。

Solidity 通过指令和链交互带来的一个问题是 EVM 生态完全和链绑定了,运行生态就需要模拟一个链的环境,这限制了 Solidity 拓展到其他场景。而 Move 在扩展应用场景方面有先天优势。

Solidity 符合目前大多数人对智能合约语言的需求,开发者们认为智能合约编程语言的应用场景仅仅在区块链上,类似于数据库中的存储过程脚本。Move 则是追求将智能合约编程语言扩展至其他应用场景,使其成为一种通用的编程语言,这超出了大多数开发者的需求。

流动性割裂

作为单体链,Aptos 最大优势在于所有的应用都处于同一个层,它们相互之间具有极大的可组合性,这也是 Solana 的一大优势。

但事实上我们不可能创造出一条完美的区块链,我们只能先搭建一个框架,然后不断地完善零部件,这也是为什么当下的区块链正在朝着模块化的方向去发展,例如 Rollup 技术。这些区块链将不同层分离出来,并行的层之间不会相互影响,开发者可以对不同层进行逐个优化。

未来的区块链架构必定是模块化的,公链赛道的技术供应商应当重点考虑如何为区块链架构提供可搭建的乐高,而不是执着于开发最好的公链。因此个人认为公链赛道下一个周期的炒作热点是模块化,但 Aptos 此时却仍在追求更好的性能、更好的编程语言或是更好的共识协议,这未免有点换汤不换药。我不否认 Move 有可能超越 Solidity 成为更好的区块链语言,但如果程序员们都热衷于此,那么未来一定还会出现比 Move 更优秀的语言。难道每次出现一种新语言或是新共识,我们都要乐此不疲地从头开始搭建生态吗?看看现在的链上流动性已经被割裂得何等破碎了,用户更在意的是谁能把这些流动性聚合在一起。

Aptos 创始人 Mo Shaikh 表示正在考虑在其网络上支持包括 Solidity 在内的以太坊开发语言。不过,目前 Aptos 公布的信息只有源代码,从语言结构来看 Move 和 Solidity 存在很大差异,能否实现兼容 EVM 将是决定 Aptos 前景的重要因素。

Tidal Investment: We Remain Bullish on the AI Industry Chain, But the Reasons Have Changed

Tidal Investment remains optimistic about the AI industry chain, but the rationale has shifted. The market narrative has changed. While recent large-scale IPOs (e.g., SpaceX) and major fundraising plans by tech giants like Alphabet and Meta have caused some nervousness, this isn't a sign of an AI peak. The focus has moved from the initial question of AI's viability to the sustainability of massive investment cycles. The key players—primarily the major cloud providers—are not slowing down; their capital expenditure (Capex) guidance for 2026 has been increased across the board (e.g., Alphabet to $180B, Amazon to $200B). This investment cycle is proving resilient and difficult to stop. Unlike traditional hardware cycles, current AI Capex is distributed across multiple physical layers—computing, memory, networking, and critically, power infrastructure. Bottlenecks are shifting from chips to elements like electricity, transformers, and cooling systems, which have much longer lead times and cannot be easily pre-built like fiber optics during the dot-com bubble. Supply chain data (e.g., Eaton's 240% YoY data center orders) confirms this broad-based, project-driven expansion. Market concerns are acknowledged but viewed differently. First, while Capex growth currently outpaces revenue growth, raising ROI questions, this mirrors the early scaling phase of cloud computing itself. A change in view would require concrete signals like downward Capex revisions or missed AI product targets, which haven't materialized by mid-2026. Second, comparisons to the 2000 dot-com bust are flawed. That crash was driven by a massive, parallel oversupply of cheap capacity (fiber). The current cycle faces *supply constraints* in critical, capital-intensive physical infrastructure that cannot be overbuilt as easily. In conclusion, the wave of fundraising reflects the next, more complex act of the AI story. Physical bottlenecks and sustained high Capex plans suggest this is not the finale but an ongoing, capital-intensive build-out phase. The script has changed, but the play is far from over.

Tidal Investment: We Remain Bullish on the AI Industry Chain, But for Different Reasons Now

Tidal Investments remains optimistic about the AI industry chain, but the rationale has shifted. The market is concerned about massive concurrent fundraising by tech giants like SpaceX, OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta, fearing an AI peak. However, the authors argue this signals the next act of AI development, not its end. Capital expenditure (Capex) from major cloud providers (Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle) continues to surge aggressively into 2026. This investment cycle is more resilient than past hardware cycles due to its scale and complexity. Bottlenecks have shifted from chips to critical physical infrastructure like power grids, transformers, cooling, and data center construction—areas with long lead times and limited capacity for rapid expansion. Supply chain data (e.g., Eaton's orders) confirms substantial, tangible progress. Key market concerns are addressed: 1. **ROI vs. Capex Growth**: While Capex growth outpaces revenue, the authors note cloud giants have historically overcome similar phases through scale. The cycle will only be in danger if Capex guidance is cut, orders are canceled, or AI product demand falters—none of which are currently observed. 2. **Comparison to the 2000 Dot-com Bubble**: Unlike the telecom bubble, where cheap, oversupplied fiber crashed prices, AI infrastructure (especially power) is constrained, customized, and subject to lengthy approvals, making a similar supply glut and crash unlikely. In conclusion, the wave of fundraising reflects the immense, ongoing capital needs for AI's next phase, constrained by slow-moving physical bottlenecks. The AI cycle is not over; the script has simply changed.

Grayscale: These 15 Profitable Crypto Protocols Are Severely Undervalued

Grayscale Research identifies 15 top-revenue crypto protocols trading at significant valuation discounts, with many at single-digit or even 1x revenue multiples. Protocols like Pump.fun, PancakeSwap, and Meteora have market capitalizations roughly equal to their annual revenue. The report argues these financially-focused protocols (DEXs, lending, staking) are fundamentally undervalued and could benefit from the potential passage of the CLARITY Act, expected as soon as next month. This legislation aims to clarify digital asset regulation, potentially reducing institutional barriers and driving on-chain activity. The analysis breaks down the protocols into three groups: the "1x Club" (market cap ≈ revenue), mid-tier protocols with 3-9x multiples (e.g., Aave, Lido, Jupiter), and high-multiple protocols like Hyperliquid (15x) and Uniswap (37x), where valuation reflects future potential rather than current cash flows. Grayscale applies a traditional DCF model to Aave, suggesting a one-year price target of ~$175, representing ~130% upside from current levels. The report notes a risk-off macro environment since the Iran conflict has further compressed valuations, creating a potential entry window. The conclusion highlights that while the valuation data presents an intriguing opportunity, the investment thesis is contingent on the CLARITY Act's passage and subsequent institutional capital flows. Investors are cautioned to consider Grayscale's inherent conflict of interest as a crypto asset manager with products tied to these assets.

Sam Altman's Personal Alchemy of Wealth: Investing in 400 Companies, Over 10 Deeply Tied to OpenAI

The article investigates Sam Altman's personal wealth strategy, centered around his investments in approximately 400 companies while serving as OpenAI's CEO. Despite not holding direct equity in OpenAI, Altman has built a vast portfolio, with at least 10 of his investments having commercial ties or ongoing negotiations with OpenAI. This creates a complex network of potential conflicts of interest, drawing scrutiny from U.S. congressional committees and state attorneys general. Key investments highlighted include the anti-aging startup Retro Biosciences (valued at $258 million for his stake as of late last year) and the chipmaker Cerebras, whose value soared following an OpenAI procurement deal. His most significant financial gain is linked to the nuclear fusion company Helion, where a recent funding round reportedly increased his stake's value to at least $4.1 billion. The article details a decade-long relationship between Altman, Helion, and OpenAI, including a controversial non-binding power purchase agreement and Altman's efforts to secure investments from OpenAI and its backer SoftBank for Helion. Other points include internal investigations at Tools for Humanity (developer of Worldcoin) and OpenAI's massive contracts with tech giants like Nvidia. According to Forbes, Altman's net worth is around $3.4 billion, ranking him 1251st globally—a rise of over 1400 places since 2024. OpenAI's board states that Altman's external dealings are transparent and potential conflicts are carefully managed.
