Abstract

无论从交易量还是说项目热度来说,NFT市场确实是进入了熊市。

无论从交易量还是说项目热度来说,NFT市场确实是进入了熊市。那是否熊市就意味着不能发项目呢?那倒不一定。北京时间2022 年 9 月 29 日凌晨,生成艺术项目QQL的900个(另外创作者保留99个用于后续合作)Mint Pass NFT以荷兰拍的形式发售,从50ETH开始,每分钟降价2ETH,直到30ETH后再每分钟降价1ETH,直到15ETH之后,每分钟降价0.5到5ETH,最后每分钟降价0.2ETH,保留在2ETH的价格。最终,在降价到14ETH的时候,全部售罄,总计销售额达12,600ETH(约合1670万美元)。值得关注的是,这一次的荷兰式拍卖是有返还差价机制的。例如,我以30ETH的价格拍得了NFT,最终价格定格在14ETH,那么我可以有16ETH的退款。此外,差价也可以用来直接兑换NFT,例如,当我用30ETH拍得NFT后,价格降到10ETH时,我可以选择申请用差价直接购买两个NFT,而不是获得20ETH的退款。这样的规则下,保护了前期购买者的利益和二级市场的价格。

QQL

第一次看到这个名字,不禁想到了非主流年代的一首歌(不行!被洗脑了)。为什么叫QQL?这是什么意思?根据官方的说法:原本是想要一个没有明确含义的名称。在真正的生成艺术时尚中,创作者编写了一个小脚本,可以生成三个字母的名字,使用最喜欢的字母的可能性更高。生成了200个左右的名字,最后,精心挑选了他们最喜欢的:QQL。QQL是视觉艺术家Tyler Hobbs和生成艺术平台Archipelago的联合创始人Dandelion Wist合作的NFT项目。这次合作旨在为铸造NFT提供一种新的方式,以制造出现、不可预测性和偶然性而非强制稀有性。QQL希望鼓励收集者探索算法的边缘,在输出中发挥作用,并采取代理成为共同创造者。

希望收藏家将他们的参与视为一次冒险,并为艺术做出创造性贡献。由收集器添加管理步骤还允许生成算法承担更多风险并探索更有趣的潜在输出空间。相信收藏家会寻找并识别出真正特殊的产出。通过这种方法,收藏家现在就已经是策展人。

Tyler Hobbs

说到Tyler Hobbs可能有很多人不知道,但如果你是有一定经验的NFT玩家(俗称,老韭菜),那你一定知道Fidenza。Fidenza是由生成艺术家 Tyler Hobbs 设计的算法NFT项目,这一系列共有999种彩色拼贴画随机生成的NFT,最早在2021年6月在NFT平台Art Blocks首次亮相,Fidenza NFT的铸造价格约为400美元,并在几周后突破500,000美元的地板价。尽管在NFT和加密货币市场低迷的情况下,地板价已经回落到96 ETH约 128,000 美元,但Fidenza仍然是世界上最受欢迎的生成艺术收藏品之一。

Tyler Hobbs是一位视觉艺术家,主要使用算法、绘图仪和绘画。他的艺术作品专注于计算美学,现代计算机硬件和软件的偏见如何塑造它们,以及它们如何与我们周围的自然世界相关和互动。2021年6月,Tyler发布了Fidenza,这是迄今为止最受好评和最受欢迎的NFT艺术品系列之一。2021年12月,他在纽约的展览将传统画廊开幕与现场生成的 100 件新作品融合在一起。

Dandelion Wist

Dandelion Wist是一名软件工程师,从事开源开发、经济学、哲学和金融领域的工作。他领导了开源软件项目的开发,例如 SourceCred、 TensorBoard(TensorFlow 的一个组件)和Plottable.js。他专注于旨在围绕开源开发建立社区和创建可持续经济的项目,他最感兴趣的是如何奖励高质量的参与和有价值的贡献。与此同时,他还是生成艺术市场Archipelago和SourceCred DAO的联合创始人。

合作

如前所述,Dandelion是Web3爱好者和Archipelago的联合创始人——也是Hobbs的收藏家。

Hobbs分享道:“我了解到Dandelion是ArtBlocks领域的著名收藏家,在那里,生成艺术确实将自己确立为 NFT 文化的重要组成部分。” 还有一点就是,当他们讨论不同的ArtBlocks项目时,他们发现对于作品,他们这着有相似的品味。

那是在2021年秋季,但最终这些对话将发展成一个全新项目的想法,而不仅仅是讨论那些已经存在的项目。

“Dandelion提出了让收藏家选择他们想要mint的想法,这听起来对我很有吸引力,有很多原因,”Hobbs布斯分享说,并补充说,“我们一直来来回回,讨论不同的方法,他们的权衡,以及如何实现这样的项目。”

Hobbs说:“对我来说,这非常引人注目,以至于我承诺将其作为2022年的主要项目。”。从那时起,两人就会在美国跨州碰面在一起亲自开发该项目。

特色

与大多数生成艺术收藏不同的是,实际的作品不会直接出售。相反,买家将获得一张mintpass。每个mintpass使其所有者有机会从QQL生成、永久保存和拥有一个作品,作为官方的999件集合的一部分。这些mintpss最有趣的地方是它们永远不会过期。收藏者可以在明天或十年后铸造正式的作品。随着时间的推移,收藏将慢慢填充,mintpass将像优质葡萄酒一样,因为供应减少。

允许收藏家们管理官方收藏的艺术品,这个想法很吸引人。QQL是一个共同创作的作品:艺术家提供了收藏者可以参与的边界。在一个关于该项目的短视频中,Hobbs讨论了这种动态如何允许他编写一个更不受约束的算法,因为收集器有能力寻找紧急输出。mintpass所有者可以使用这个平台切换各种控制,产生无限数量的输出选择。颜色、结构、方向、边距和环的大小是用户可以修改的不同参数的例子。任何人都可以与此工具交互,但只有mintpass的所有者才能将它铸造和永久保存到官方集合中。

最终铸造一个QQL作品的以太坊钱包地址除了NFT本身还有两点。首先,他们可以从二级市场销售的非版税产品中永久获得2%的版税使用费。其次,他们将被视为艺术贡献者。铸造者的地址和ENS域名将与艺术品一起展示。

结语

虽然目前尚不清楚QQL是否会像Fidenza一样受欢迎,但在今时今日的市场环境下,交出这样的答卷,可以公平地说,至少有数百名生成艺术收藏家是该作品的忠实粉丝。而在二级市场上,BAYC的大庄家麻吉大哥也扫了不少货。关于赋能,Hobbs曾表示会有一定的想法,可能是从他的工作室里获得高质量的作品。而关于这一个项目,我觉得是生成艺术的另一个里程碑。大家对于生成艺术会持有两极分化的态度,一种是觉得生成的东西怎么能算是艺术呢?另一方的态度则是觉得生成艺术就是算法和技术的作品,充满着未知和神秘感。这个领域还比较年轻,所以还有很大的改进空间,而Web3是一个更好的发挥场景。截止到现在,QQL的地板价为20ETH,那你怎么看呢?

Interview with Strategy CEO: Can STRC Recover After Selling Bitcoin?

Interview with Strategy CEO Phong Le on the recent sale of 32 Bitcoin and its impact. He clarifies the move was a small, strategic action to demonstrate liquidity to debt holders, test internal processes, and prove operational discipline—not a response to fears of a "death spiral" from DeFi protocols leveraging STRC (Strategy's preferred stock product), which he notes holds less than 10% of STRC. Le emphasizes Strategy’s long-term focus as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, using the adage that markets are a "voting machine" short-term but a "weighing machine" long-term. Decision-making is data-driven, involving the board, complex modeling, and multiple stakeholder considerations, moving beyond a founder-centric model. He outlines various capital options but stresses the strategic importance of "doing nothing" as a valid choice, citing resilience built during the 2022 bear market. Le expresses unwavering belief in Bitcoin's foundational value for global sovereignty and its future role in an AI-driven economy with trillions of autonomous agents. Addressing STRC's current price below its $100 face value, Le explains recent pressure was due to using dollar reserves for bond buybacks. He expects STRC to return to par as reserves are replenished and its semi-monthly dividend payments begin, noting the product is heavily over-collateralized. Finally, Le confirms the company sold Bitcoin the week prior to May 31st, as disclosed in an 8-K filing, leaving prediction market interpretations to others. The overarching philosophy remains "Spread Bitcoin with love," embracing all methods of gaining Bitcoin exposure.

IOSG Founder: Ethereum Doesn't Need Another Leap of Technical Faith, It Needs a Musk-style Compromise

Jocy, founder of IOSG Ventures, argues that Ethereum does not need renewed technological faith but a "Musk-like compromise." The recent formation of ETHLabs—funded by major ETH holders like BitMine and Lubin—highlights a market-driven move to fill a gap left by the Ethereum Foundation (EF), signaling a loss of confidence in its decentralized, hands-off approach. The core critique contrasts Vitalik Buterin's (V) idealistic, technology-first vision with Elon Musk's pragmatic, business-driven execution. The author asserts Ethereum's current shortage is not another technical roadmap but a clear, real-world application narrative and a leader willing to engage directly with commercial realities—like Musk. Internal issues are emphasized, citing EF's management problems and talent drain. While the new decentralized model with independent nodes like ETHLabs addresses the single foundation's limitations, it risks fragmentation without cohesive direction. True cohesion, the author suggests, must come from a shared, compelling narrative around ETH's value, not just from aligned financial interests. Independence claims for new entities are seen as aspirational, needing years of transparency to build trust. The ultimate threat is not competitors like Solana, but the broader shift of attention and talent toward AI. Ethereum has a limited window—12 to 18 months—to recapture focus by delivering tangible, real-world applications. The conclusion urges V to shift from abstract ideals to grounded, pragmatic leadership. The time for this crucial pivot is running out.

Google Starts Selling TPUs, Big Tech Aims to Produce "Low-Cost Tokens" with AI Chips

Google has begun selling its proprietary TPU chips and AI computing hardware directly to third-party data centers and clients, marking a strategic shift. Previously only accessible via cloud rentals, TPUs are specialized processors designed for the matrix and tensor operations central to AI models. By combining thousands into supercomputing clusters managed by CPUs, Google achieves high-efficiency AI processing. This move enables Google’s Gemini AI to offer competitive token pricing, challenging rivals like OpenAI. It also signals a broader industry trend where AI compute is becoming a commoditized resource like electricity. While NVIDIA remains dominant with its CUDA ecosystem and high-performance GPUs, the focus is shifting from raw power to cost efficiency and system integration. Google’s approach mirrors NVIDIA’s by selling an entire ecosystem—hardware, software, and data center expertise—rather than just chips. This threatens NVIDIA’s grip on the mid-range inference market, where lower-cost, efficient solutions are increasingly demanded. Similarly, cloud providers like Huawei Cloud and Alibaba Cloud in China are developing their own AI chip ecosystems (e.g., Ascend, Zhenwu), packaging chips, clusters, and tools into full-stack solutions. They aim to reduce token costs and capture market share through integrated systems. In summary, the AI infrastructure race is evolving from a competition for the strongest chips to a contest for the most efficient and cost-effective systems. Google’s TPU sales highlight this transition, emphasizing that future success lies in delivering affordable, scalable AI compute as a foundational service.
