铸造通道将在合并开始后关闭,需要抓紧时间了。

铸造通道将在合并开始后关闭,需要抓紧时间了。

今日早间, a16z Crypto 工程合伙人 Michael Blau 和 a16z Crypto 合伙人 Mason Hall 宣布推出一款动态 NFT “Proof of Merge” ,用于证明以太坊网络是否已顺利完成合并。

具体来说,a16z 找到了一种完全链上的方法,来检验合并是否已经发生。该方法为检查 EVM 的“难度”(DIFFICULTY)指令,这是对具体某个区块被挖出的困难程度的度量。该概念只有在 PoW 共识的语境下才有意义,由于共识将切换至 PoS ,通过检查新生成区块的这个“难度”值,智能合约就可以自动确定合并是否已经发生。

回到 Proof of Merge,该 NFT 将根据该“难度”值的变化以及和合并的估计时间输出不同的元数据和插图,总计会在三个不同阶段呈现三种不同的状态。第一阶段,预合并时将显示两个分开的圆圈;第二阶段,随着合并的临近,两个圆圈将开始靠近,直至重叠,形成类似日食的画面;一旦合并发生,形状将转化为最终形式,一个阴阳符号。

- Odaily星球日报注:a16z 还提到,而对于潜在的 PoW 链来说,预计图形将在第二阶段停滞,因为“难度”值永远不会抵达第三阶段的要求,所以永远不会形成最终的形状。

当前,Proof of Merge 已开放了免费铸造,感兴趣的朋友可以通过「https://www.proofofmerge.xyz/」页面免费领取。

打开上述网站后,连接钱包,将下图中的滑轮从最左边滑动至最右边,然后在钱包内确认交易即可(gas 大概需要几美元)。

Proof of Merge数量不受限制且完全免费,但只能在以太坊合并完成之前申领,截至目前已有上万个加密钱包地址参与了铸造。

值得一提的是,Proof of Merge 不可交易,NFT 将永久地与铸造地址绑定,因此通过该 NFT 投机获利就不要想了,但对于有意一同见证合并这一加密货币历史上最重要事件之一的朋友来说,还是可以入手一个作为纪念的。

SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son's New Trillion-Dollar "Gamble"

SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son is embroiled in a new trillion-dollar "bet" on Physical AI and humanoid robotics, even as his massive wager on OpenAI faces uncertainty ahead of its potential IPO. Recent reports reveal OpenAI's steep losses—$85 billion net loss by Q1 2026 and a $38.5 billion loss in 2025—casting doubt on its path to a trillion-dollar valuation. SoftBank, OpenAI's second-largest external shareholder with a planned 13% stake, stands to gain hugely if OpenAI succeeds. Undeterred, Son is already pushing forward with his next ambitious venture: consolidating SoftBank's AI and robotics assets into a new U.S.-based company named "Roze," targeting a $100 billion IPO as early as late 2026. This move aligns with his belief that Physical AI, merging AI cognition with robotic physical execution, is the next trillion-dollar frontier. Son's confidence stems from recent AI wins; SoftBank's stock surged and he briefly regained the title of Asia's richest person, largely due to OpenAI's soaring valuation. However, his aggressive strategy has raised internal concerns about over-reliance on OpenAI and strained finances. With competitors like Anthropic advancing rapidly and OpenAI's IPO timing uncertain, Son is racing to capitalize on the AI boom. His long-term vision for Physical AI includes a decade of investments in robotics, from Boston Dynamics to recent acquisitions like ABB's robotics unit, and a planned $1 trillion investment in U.S.-based AI robotics industrial parks. Yet, challenges remain: humanoid robotics firms like Figure AI lack the clear revenue paths of AI software companies, and Roze's lofty valuation faces skepticism. For Son, these bets are also driven by an unfulfilled promise of massive returns to key investors like Saudi Arabia's PIF. Despite risks, he continues to double down, betting that the fusion of AI and physical machines will define the next technological era.
