Abstract

今天给大家介绍一个Web3的视频平台Glass,允许创作者将其视频作为NFT进行货币化,旨在改革互联网视频。

越来越多人习惯玩手机的时候看视频,视频平台的快速发展也给我们提供了更多方式,通过vlog、短视频、解说等方式,视频从各个方面的深入着我们的生活,潜移默化的改变着我们的生活,这就媒体时代视频具有的力量。

今天给大家介绍一个Web3的视频平台Glass,允许创作者将其视频作为NFT进行货币化,旨在改革互联网视频,从基础设施到作为创造者的生活体验,提倡重视个人主权、共享所有权和权力下放。

在Web2时代中,像抖音、B站和油管这样的大型视频平台只向创作者支付其视频在浏览量基础上产生的部分广告收入。Web3视频平台Glass.xyz推出的模式允许观众根据视频的质量来决定其货币价值。用户通过购买NFT来解锁视频,或者粉丝可以收集免费观看的视频来添加到他们的NFT集合。

本月Glass宣布已经筹集了500万美元的种子轮。本轮融资由切尔宁集团旗下的大型加密货币投资基金TCG Crypto,以及早期加密货币基金1kx共同牵头。值得一提的是,TCG Crypto已经筹集了1.2亿美元来启动Web3创作者生态系统,这是第一家获得TCG Crypto投资的以视频为主导的NFT创业公司。

Glass是由芝加哥大学的三位校友Varun Iyer、Sam Sendelbach和Dayo Adeosun于2021年共同创立的。就我个人而言,我听说过Glass是因为一些说唱歌手,27Delly、Hass Irv和Smooky Margielaa在该平台上发布他们的NFT。

Glass正试图将创作者视频市场引入web3,为NFT投资者、创作者和粉丝提供激励,让他们用NFT购买视频。在其平台上上线了创作者档案,这样观众就可以看到他们为哪些视频支付了费用,以及这些投资增长了多少。同时官网上还建立了一个二级市场,这样用户就可以在他们用于在Glass上观看视频的同一界面上买卖NFT。

平台特点

基础设施:

Glass基础设施是建立自由市场和边缘计算上的,为了快速加载视频,集中式视频供应商将维护一个内容交付网络(CDN)。使用分散式CDN降低了成本,并改善了世界各地计算机的空间分布。在视频转码上,将大型视频转换为不同分辨率的小型视频(6k vs 240p)。这使得视频播放器可以根据网络速度自适应地改变视频的分辨率,而不会中断观看体验。边缘计算(休眠的GPU)和自由市场再一次带来了接近50倍的节省。

货币化:

Glass平台上在创作者货币化背后的理念是迅速试验一个能维持视频创作者和观众的经济。在链上建立货币化的主要原因是通过赋予社区对内容的所有权来实现新的经济,并允许轻松访问整个去中心化金融的生态系统。项目方将元数据格式构建为高度模块化,使得能够增加功能并结合经济资金块和链。

经济模型

目前Glass.xyz还没有推出代币,项目方认为平台的卖点是用户们会主动被那些讲述故事的视频吸引,这些故事对他们和他们所代表的社区有情感上的价值。这些NFT不仅有经济价值和感情价值,而且Glass正在努力为这些NFT的投放增加更多的实用元素。

目前,Glass.xyz对平台上发布的东西非常有选择性。这是由于它是一个相对较新的平台,Glass团队希望在创作者功能向公众发布之前确保平台得到优化。如果你想在这个时候申请成为Glass的创作者,需要先加入他们的discord社区。Glass将他们的视频存储在Arweave上,这意味着一旦上传就不能被删除。Arweave本身有少量的前期费用,然后是mint费,这取决于NFT的区块链(以太坊或Solana)。定价方程中的另一个变量是视频长度,视频越长,上传的费用就越高。

创作者可以选择以单件或系列的形式出售NFT。如果选择单件,那么创作者可以为NFT举行拍卖。拍卖从第一次出价开始;一旦第一次出价,拍卖还剩24小时。创建者决定最低(底价)价格,也就是起拍价,然后之后的每次出价必须比前一次出价至少高5%。

一旦拍卖完成,90%的利润立即进入创造者的钱包,其余的百分比则进入Glass国库。Glass国库专门用于平台的未来生产和推广,这本身就是对内部创作者有利的做法。

PRISM

在今年上半年,Glass还推出了PRISM,一个流动NFT市场,是其NFT的统一交换平台。

在Glass项目方发布的信息中看,PRISM使收集媒体NFT更安全,对收藏者门来说风险更小。随着越来越多的人收集NFT,NFT的价格也在可预见的范围内增长,而且收藏者可以随时出售他们的NFT。

随着NFT的购买,每个NFT的价格以一个固定的数额增加。在任何时候,收藏家都可以将他们的NFT卖回,使价格以该固定数额减少。让我们用一个例子来分析一下:

假设一个新视频出售的第一个NFT起价为0.1ETH。

第一个卖出后,价格增加0.01ETH。

下一个NFT售价为0.11ETH。

价格再次增加,为0.12ETH。

以此类推,现在,第一个NFT的收藏者可以将NFT回售,可以赚取少量利润。

这种机制被称为线性粘合曲线,因为价格上涨的幅度总是一样的。这种模式的好处是,流动性由智能合约保证,而且对早期收藏者和后期收藏者都很公平。收藏者可以相当迅速和容易地保证利润。

视频《D.Y.T. (Do Your Thing)》作者nvdesmusic ,正在 glass.xyz上售卖。

创造者在每次购买NFT时都能赚到10%。由于价格一直在变化,随着越来越多的人持有NFT,创造者的收入也随之增加。

所以刚才我举的例子就成了:当一个视频NFT起始价格为0.1ETH,每卖出一个NFT价格增加0.01ETH。

如果有30个NFT被买入(且假设过程中没人卖出),创建者就能赚到0.475个ETH,如果买入60个NFT,创作者赚取1.84ETH,如果买入100个NFT,创作者可赚取5.06ETH。也就是说有了PRISM,一段内容可以被持续地、跨越时间、永远地在链上挣钱。

浅看一下

目前,Glass已将其接口从以太坊过渡到Solana,目前已经与一百多位创作者合作,在未来几个月内扩大其创作者组合,到2023年底,希望能达成与至少10,000名创作者合作。

我很喜欢加密行业的一个特点就是NFT从一个大众乍一听无法理解的概念,逐渐变成了一个充满无限可能的概念,为了挖掘NFT的真正潜力,改变创意内容的货币化方式,越来越多的Web3项目方都在努力探索更好的模式。

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.
