Abstract

不同于很多Web3创业团队,YugaLabs已经完成了自己和Web2的融合,并且基本完成了顶层团队的构建。

花了一下午时间看网传的YugaLabs的Deck。90页的Deck,七八十页都在凡尔赛。不愧是将核心高管都换成了来自苹果、谷歌、HBO等公司高管的团队,我仿佛看了一场精彩的Apple新品发布会,除了震撼还是震撼,并且不得不感叹元宇宙内卷的速度,不给新人留活路。

首先分析团队配置。不同于很多Web3创业团队,YugaLabs已经完成了自己和Web2的融合,并且基本完成了顶层团队的构建。除了来自Web3的原来四位创始人外,其他高管分别是:合伙人Guy Oseary是U2和麦当娜经纪公司的创始人;CEO Nicole Muniz有过长达十年的互联网营销经验,客户包括Google、Nick、HBO等。

首席运营官Jasmin Shoemaker有着长达15年的运营增长经验,运营对象包括苹果和Facebook等;首席创意馆Patrick Ehrlund有过15年的品牌经验(尤其是Storytelling,难怪成就了这么强的Deck…),客户包括HBO、Kanye、Google等。从配置上看,这是一个横跨硅谷互联网巨头和美国时尚界、重营销运营的配置。

很多人都被Crypto Native的口号给迷惑了。殊不知,即便进入Web3,元宇宙最重要的资产仍然是流量。从这个角度,Web3和Web2融合是大势所趋。不必脸红说web3的从业者渴求Web2的流量,迫切需要借助Web2扩展自己的品牌,改善自己的产品体验。一天到晚鼓吹生产关系变革只是空投,长期只会让人疲倦。

YugaLabs从Web3的母体中生长出来,先人一步构建了自己强大的横跨Web3和Web2的团队,并完成了来自Web2世界和Web3世界的资本站队和资源融合。这是一个极大的先发优势,领先了其他NFT蓝筹团队至少一年。这意味着YugaLabs在接下来一年不会有与自己抗衡的对手,那么我们来看看这一年他们计划做什么。

YugaLabs的计划是:统一元宇宙!

是的你没有看错,YugaLabs的计划是统一元宇宙。说实话当我看到这里的时候我被震撼了。大家都以为元宇宙才刚刚开始,还有那么多人根本就没有踏进元宇宙的大门,很多创作者连PFP是什么都不知道,YugaLabs就要统一元宇宙了?开什么国际玩笑?看看YugaLabs是怎么说的吧。

YugaLabs首先喷了土地类NFT项目,指出MMO早已有之,Decentraland和Sandbox一点都不让人Exciting(亏DCL还有那么高的估值),不是人们想要的元宇宙。紧接着又喷了PFP,指出所有的项目方都想搭建自己的元宇宙,并且不互联互通,这不是未来。Deck里甚至都没有提到AXS这样的游戏,因为根本没有体验。

YugaLabs认为,真正的元宇宙要有能让人着迷并愿意参与的故事;人们能找到目标并下注,做出重要决定;人与人之间可产生紧密联系。而YugaLabs的优势在于他们建立的令人艳羡的Web3文化、强大的社区和影响力。(数据:Opensea去年交易量增加了600倍,日均交易额超过1.5亿美金,其中10%由BAYC贡献。)

基于此,YugaLabs将建立一个和DCL以及Sandbox完全不同的虚拟游戏。它有故事和文化;开放(允许用户带着其他的PFP形象接入,或者创作游戏内资产);为开发者提供SDK(让他们能够基于该平台创作游戏);土地可与真实世界的土地结合(这是似乎结合最新的元宇宙项目Dropp的故事,是前所未有的)。

很多人指责BAYC系列资产价格太贵,普通人无法参与,社区太小。那么,20万块元宇宙土地构建的社区总足够大了吧(超过了Sandbox)。此外,这些土地可与真实世界产生联系。考虑到YugaLabs公布的团队成员有来自Oculus的,并且看他们在2022年将投入3700万美金进行产品和技术研发,游戏体验值得期待。

用YugaLabs的话说,这种游戏是前所未有的。如果成功的话,它能够实现现实世界和虚拟世界的联动、Web3所有PFP项目的联动、Web2品牌和Web3世界的联动,这种全新的体验和来自两个世界的强大共识将早就一个统一体:被所有人认可的元宇宙空间。就这样,DCL、Sandbox会成为过去式。

甚至,YugaLabs还计划搭建一个体系内的交易平台。我个人认为这会是对Opensea的真正威胁。Ape宇宙里将产生大量的UGC内容,这些内容的首选交易平台将不再是Opensea。根据历史经验,交易所的兴起往往伴随着大量的财富效应,而YugaLabs本身就是财富的代名词,他们有这样的潜力。

在这种情况下,Ape也将成为许多游戏的通用代币。现在大家可以想想YugaLabs讲了一个多大的故事:干掉DCL和Sandbox,统一所有的PFP元宇宙,打通虚拟和现实的连接入口,威胁Opensea。YugaLabs去年赚了1.3亿美金,今年计划赚4.6亿美金。这一轮估值50亿美金完全不贵,手里最不缺的就是钱和资源。

最后我们来思考几个问题:你更愿意花钱买3700万美金制作出来的NFT,还是10万块钱制作出来的NFT?反过来也可以问:接下来中小创作者在NFT市场的机会是什么?(是去Ape宇宙UGC被官方扶持吗?)接下来的NFT市场会往哪里走?

LeCun Continuously Endorses, New Work VISReg Tackles the Core Challenge of 'Representation Collapse' in JEPA World Models

"VISReg: A New Self-Supervised Learning Method Tackles Representation Collapse in JEPA World Models" Yann LeCun has highlighted the new self-supervised learning (SSL) work VISReg (Variance-Invariance-Sketching Regularization), which addresses the core challenge of "representation collapse" in JEPA-based world models. SSL often collapses, mapping different inputs to similar vectors, losing discriminative power. While methods like VICReg and SIGReg attempted to regularize the representation distribution, they suffered from issues like vanishing gradients during collapse or coupled scale and shape optimization. VISReg overcomes these by decoupling the regularization into independent "scale" and "shape" objectives. It uses a variance term to prevent amplitude collapse (providing constant gradient even during collapse) and a sliced Wasserstein distance (SWD) based sketching target with stop-gradient to align the distribution shape to an isotropic Gaussian, without interfering with scale. This approach, requiring only ~15 lines of PyTorch core code, offers linear computational complexity and scales efficiently across multiple GPUs. Evaluated across 15 datasets (in-domain, out-of-distribution/OOD, dense prediction), VISReg outperforms 7 mainstream SSL methods (MoCoV3, DINO, iBOT, I-JEPA, MAE, data2vec) without relying on heuristic tricks like EMA or stop-gradient. Key results include: superior average OOD accuracy; matching DINOv2's OOD performance using only ~1/10 of the data (ImageNet-22K vs. LVD-142M); better transfer learning fine-tuning results across multiple datasets; and competitive performance in semantic segmentation and generative guidance. VISReg also demonstrates robustness on low-quality data like long-tailed or low-rank datasets where other methods fail. The work provides a more stable, efficient, and generalizable regularization solution for SSL and JEPA models.

Argentine Banking Groups Quietly Develop Peso-Pegged Stablecoins for the Institutional Market

Argentine banking groups are quietly developing peso-pegged stablecoins for the institutional market. While US dollar-linked stablecoins like USDC and USDT are popular in Argentina, fintech companies are now focusing on local alternatives. Two major initiatives are underway. The BIND Group, through its virtual asset service provider BEN, is developing a peso stablecoin and has partnered with Circle to offer institutional clients payment and treasury use cases. Separately, the Petersen Group is developing a stablecoin called DIPE via a subsidiary, supported by crypto-as-a-service company Lirium. Both projects are being advanced by entities backed by banking conglomerates, not the banks themselves, due to a Central Bank of Argentina ban from May 2022 prohibiting private banks from offering crypto services to clients. The primary target is the institutional sector, which could benefit from the programmable features of a digital peso for treasury management, event-triggered blockchain payments, and collateralized lending management. These initiatives could expand to private banks in the future if the central bank lifts its crypto ban. This development comes as regulators scrutinize existing crypto offerings; in March, the national securities regulator highlighted that the "argt peso" stablecoin was being offered as a security without proper compliance.

Pi Network Price Forecast: Can a $12 Million Robotics Bet Save PI From a New All-Time Low?

Pi Network (PI) price faces intense pressure, dropping to $0.07286 on July 28th (-5.60%). It is testing key technical support at the lower Bollinger Band ($0.07003), just above its all-time low. A close below this level would signal a likely plunge into uncharted territory with no established historical support underneath. The sell-off is fueled by viral market criticism regarding unclear tokenomics. An analysis by Mahidhar Crypto highlighted unanswered questions about Pi's total supply of 100 billion tokens, with only 16.8% currently minted/mainnet. This lack of clarity on the remaining ~83.2B tokens and the absence of a burn mechanism have created uncertainty, pressuring marginal holders to sell. Amidst the bearish sentiment, Pi Network Ventures participated in a $12M seed round for physical AI robotics startup Axis Robotics. While this signals ecosystem expansion beyond crypto, its direct impact on the PI token price is considered indirect at best against the dominant supply-side concerns. **Price Forecast Scenarios:** * **Bull Case:** PI holds above $0.07003, and the Pi Core Team addresses tokenomics concerns, shifting narrative to ecosystem growth. A recovery toward the Bollinger Band middle line at $0.08614 is possible. * **Bear Case:** PI breaks below $0.07003 support. Continued silence from the core team allows supply fears to persist, accelerating selling into price discovery with no floor below.

Trump's AI Plan Could Replace 50 State AI Laws With One Set of Rules

The Trump administration is reportedly close to establishing a national framework for regulating artificial intelligence. According to The Information, this initiative aims to replace the patchwork of approximately 50 differing state-level AI laws with a single, federal standard. The core proposal, outlined in the White House's National AI Policy Framework, would centralize AI policymaking in Washington, D.C., offering developers more consistent and transparent rules on issues like child safety, AI-generated deepfakes, and the use of regulatory sandboxes. This move addresses growing concerns that the current fragmented regulatory landscape, with states like Colorado, Texas, and California enacting their own rules, creates a compliance burden for AI companies. A unified federal system is intended to streamline regulations, allowing businesses to spend less time adapting to state laws and more time on innovation. The administration's strategy also includes an executive order signed by President Trump in June 2026, which focuses on enhancing cybersecurity for advanced AI systems. A major unresolved question in the proposal, however, is how to regulate open-source AI models. The framework does not clearly define an approach, despite expert warnings that such models pose unique governance challenges due to their free modification and distribution. While the fate of the legislative proposal in Congress remains uncertain, its existence signals Washington's intent to become the primary authority governing AI technology, a move that would have significant global implications given the dominance of U.S. firms in the AI sector.
