10 月 29 日,在瑞士卢加诺举办的 PlanB 论坛的比特币会议上,Synonym 推出了钱包应用 Bitkit,Tether 也是 PlanB 论坛的主办方之一。Synonym 是由最大的稳定币发行商 Tether 在两年前成立的,希望能创建一个利用比特币和闪电网络的开放金融生态系统,将比特币引入主流。

Tether 的稳定币 USDT 最先在比特币的 Omni 协议上发行,BTC 仍是市值最大的加密资产,Synonym 可能从 Tether 及其兄弟公司 Bitfinex 处获得帮助。从 Synonym 官网可以看到,Synonym 的管理层和 Tether 和 Bitfinex 都有重合之处,Synonym 的 CSO Paolo Ardoino 同时也是 Tether 和 Bitfinex 的 CTO,Synonym 的 CTO Reza Bandegi 同时也在 Tether 和 Bitfinex 任职。

Synonym 目前主要有三个产品:钱包 Bitkit、模块化工具 Slashtags、闪电服务解决方案 Blocktank。Tether 和 Synonym 能否将比特币利用起来呢,下文中 PANews 将介绍 Synonym 的这些产品。

Bitkit:带社交功能的开源钱包

由于比特币的低 TSP 以及高昂的转账成本限制,直接在比特币网络上进行支付的成本太高。而随着闪电网络的发展,比特币支付可能走进现实。截至 11 月 8 日,1ML 数据显示,闪电网络目前共有 16442 个节点,78124 个通道,5179 BTC 的资金。去年 9 月,萨尔瓦多宣布将比特币确立为法定货币。比特币的支付拥有广阔的空间,在大规模应用的情况下,钱包作为资金入口需要有更多的功能。

Synonym 本次推出的 Bitkit 是一款移动钱包,支持比特币和闪电网络支付,可以在 Apple 和 Android 设备上使用,目前正在公开测试阶段能。

官网信息显示,Bitkit 的功能亮点包括:快速支付、平衡储蓄和支出、拥有您的社交资料、动态联系、添加实时小组件。除了钱包常规的支付、储蓄功能外,Bitkit 还拥有了社交功能。

如上图所示,个人简介中,可以输入自己的昵称、简介、邮箱、添加链接、设置头像。当与别人进行互动的时候,其他人将能够看到这些信息。

Web2 成熟的产品让我们的生活更加便捷,比如在微信聊天页面就可以进行支付,用支付宝付款时还可以展示我们拥有的数字藏品封面。但在 Web3 中,当我们进行转账时,需要输入的是一串没有意义的数字,ENS 这类域名服务商部分解决了这个问题。

当 NFT 崛起之时,有人认为这只是一种毫无价值的小图片,也人却发现了其中的社交价值,持有稀缺、昂贵的 NFT 成了身份的象征,NBA 球星库里、歌手林俊杰等纷纷购买 NFT 作为头像。Bitkit 的头像最终可能像 Twitter 头像一样,被各种 NFT 小图片霸占,这也代表钱包所有者的身份。

在 Synonym 中,用户同样可以像我们熟悉的 Web2 产品一样,直接通过扫描二维码添加联系人。当联系人的信息变动时,Synonym 会自动进行更新。

Synonym 的 CSO Paolo Ardoino 称,Bitkit 并不是一款典型的钱包应用程序,Synonym 通过设计和创新,有用的功能将钱包提升到了一个新的水平,这将有助于确保「超比特币化」。超比特币化是指比特币在被采用的过程中升值并导致它成为不只是一种储备资产,而是全球货币的供应者。

随着区块链在全球范围内的监管趋严,对于去中心化和抗审查的需求更加明显。Bitkit 是一个自托管钱包,其中的信息也是通过比特币助记词管理的,这得益于 Synonym 旗下的另一款产品 Slashtags。

Slashtags 协议:提供账户、数据等支持

Slashtags 可以为开发人员提供可扩展的点对点应用程序,使用户能够控制他们的个人资料、联系人、账户和数据。Bitkit 中的账户、个人简介等功能都由 Slashtags 实现。

应用程序和数据的自主权保留在本地,每一个 Slashtag 都是通过用户比特币钱包助记词衍生出来的加密密钥对。用户可以使用所控制的密钥发布数据,从而实现抗审查的点对点网络。

Slashtags 使网站能够提供用户控制的无密码账户,账户采用了一种「握手协议」来减轻中间人攻击,防止不安全的密码,并使网站和用户更难被审查。

Slashtags 是开源和模块化的,下面是一些模拟 Slashtags 的组件。比如在 Bitkit 中添加 Bitcoin Price 组件,即可以查看 BTC 的价格。Bitfinex 组件将允许用户在 Bitkit 中查看他们 Bitfinex 账户的余额、交易表现等。

Synonym 称,Bitkit 将通过 Slashtags「完全不使用区块链」为 Web3 提供动力。

Blocktank:闪电网络解决方案

加入闪电网络需要一定的技术基础,Blocktank 则提供了一整套闪电网络解决方案,钱包、应用程序、交易所、商家等都可以直接使用 LSP(全方位的闪电网络服务提供商),直接加入闪电网络。

其中,Blocktank Instant 允许加密货币交易所通过将工程和基础设施外包给 Synonym 来快速将用户带入闪电网络,交易所可以依靠 Synonym 的 Blocktank 节点为其户进行即时存款和取款。

Blocktank Widget 允许用户从 Blocktank 的节点快速配置和购买闪电通道。

Blocktank API 允许平台从集成、自动化闪电节点,并从中变现。

Blocktank Hub 让运行 Blocktank 服务并加入 Synonym 的 Blocktank 子网络成为 Blocktank Hub。

Bitkit 钱包上闪电网络的相关功能也由 Blocktank 提供支持,同时 Blocktank 也可以用自身的技术对外提供服务。

小结

由 Tether 成立的 Synonym 开发了 Bitkit、Slashtags、Blocktank 这三种产品。Bitkit 是一个体验接近 Web2 产品的开源钱包,而其中的无密码账户、数据管理等功能由 Slashtags 提供支持,闪电网络相关的功能由 Blocktank 支持。Slashtags 的功能可以迁移到其它地方,Blocktank 也向 B 端用户提供闪电网络解决方案。

此外,Synonym 还联合 Tether 和 Holepunch 推出点对点信用系统 Pear Credit,这是一种透明的会计系统,可以用于发行礼品卡、奖励积分、稳定币等。

18 Months, Over 50x Surge: KIOXIA's Epic Comeback

KIOXIA, a NAND flash memory giant, staged a dramatic comeback driven by AI demand. After a period of significant losses, a failed merger, and missed HBM opportunities, its 2024 IPO began modestly. However, fueled by explosive demand for AI data storage, its stock price skyrocketed over 50 times within 18 months, making it Japan's most valuable company, surpassing Toyota. Its Q1 FY2026 profit guidance soared 30-fold year-over-year, with 2026 NAND capacity already sold out. Key to its success is its 3D NAND technology, BiCS FLASH. As the inventor of NAND, KIOXIA advanced its technology through generations, reaching over 200 layers by 2023. Key innovations include CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array), which separately manufactures control circuits and memory arrays for better performance, and OPS (On Pitch Select Gate) to increase density. The company is now developing high-capacity packages like an 8TB solution stacking 32 dies. Looking beyond NAND, KIOXIA is exploring 3D DRAM with its OCTRAM technology, using oxide semiconductor transistors for ultra-low leakage to reduce power consumption. This fundamental research differs from HBM and represents a long-term bet to extend its 3D expertise from NAND into future DRAM architectures. KIOXIA's story highlights how technological assets and shifting market cycles can rapidly transform a company's fortunes. While questions remain about sustaining growth beyond the current AI boom, its resurgence demonstrates that in semiconductors, being down does not necessarily mean being out.

Market Trends in U.S. Stocks (June 23): Peak at Listing? SpaceX Loses Over $800 Billion in Three Days, Tech Stocks Experience Severe Internal Divergence

Stock Market Trends (June 23): Did SpaceX Peak at IPO? The company loses over $800 billion in market value in three days as a sharp divergence unfolds within the tech sector. SpaceX's post-IPO decline of over 20%, falling below its first-day close, reflects a swift market repricing. The catalyst is a clear shift in narrative from "AI platform potential" to concerns over rising capital costs, as its $8.57 billion IPO and subsequent $20 billion debt offering are earmarked for acquisitions and refinancing existing bridge loans rather than de-leveraging. While high-valuation tech stocks like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft faced pressure, Micron surged nearly 7% to a record high following a strategic supply deal with Anthropic for HBM and memory, highlighting robust, tangible demand in AI infrastructure. The broader market saw funds rotate into more defensive industrial and financial names. Macro factors included a dip in oil prices to a three-month low on news of a US-Iran framework deal, though logistical hurdles for resuming full Strait of Hormuz shipments remain. Key events ahead include Nvidia's shareholder meeting, Micron's earnings, and the May PCE inflation data. The latter will be crucial in determining whether the sell-off in high-valuation growth stocks, which appears to have just begun, will persist.

Interview with MicroStrategy CEO: Beyond the 32 BTC Selling Stir, 6 Trillion AI Agents are the Ultimate Endgame for Bitcoin

Interview with Strategy CEO: Beyond the 32 BTC Sale, 6 Trillion AI Agents are Bitcoin's Ultimate Endgame Strategy CEO Phong Le discusses the recent sale of 32 BTC, clarifying it was a minor, strategic move to demonstrate operational liquidity and internal process robustness to creditors and rating agencies, not a reaction to market fears. He emphasizes Strategy's disciplined, data-driven decision-making framework involving its board and complex financial modeling, distancing the company from centralized "black box" operations seen elsewhere in crypto. Le outlines the company's resilience and long-term focus, citing the "doing nothing" strategy during the 2022 bear market as a testament to its conviction in Bitcoin's underlying value proposition for global sovereignty and freedom. He reveals that generative AI was instrumental in developing their Stretch (STRC) preferred stock product, cutting development time from years to months. The most visionary part of the discussion centers on Agentic AI. Le envisions a future with 6 trillion autonomous AI agents conducting commerce, particularly in off-world environments like Mars, which would naturally adopt decentralized crypto rails and seek yield-bearing assets like Bitcoin as a core store of value. Finally, Le addresses the STRC product, expressing confidence it will return to its $100 par value through reserve replenishment and the initiation of dividend payments, and dismisses concerns about competition with stablecoins. He concludes by affirming Strategy's philosophy of expanding Bitcoin access through all available means, from self-custody to ETFs, to onboard the next wave of users.

Utility: While precise functionalities are not explicitly outlined, there are indications that the token could be utilized for various applications, potentially involving decentralized applications (dApps) or asset tokenization strategies. Who is the Creator of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? At present, the identity of the creators and development team behind DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) remains unknown. This situation is typical among many innovative projects within the blockchain space, particularly those aligning with decentralized finance and meme coin phenomena. While such anonymity may foster a community-driven culture, it intensifies concerns about governance and accountability. Who are the Investors of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? The available information indicates that DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) does not have any known institutional backers or prominent venture capital investments. The project seems to operate on a peer-to-peer model focused on community support and adoption rather than traditional funding routes. Its activity and liquidity are primarily situated on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as PumpSwap, rather than established centralized trading platforms, further highlighting its grassroots approach. How DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) Works The operational mechanics of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) can be elaborated on based on its blockchain design and network attributes: Consensus Mechanism: By leveraging Solana’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) combined with a proof-of-stake (PoS) model, the project ensures efficient transaction validation contributing to the network's high performance. Tokenomics: While specific deflationary mechanisms have not been extensively detailed, the vast maximum token supply implies that it may cater to microtransactions or niche use cases that are still to be defined. Interoperability: There exists the potential for integration with Solana’s broader ecosystem, including various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. However, the details regarding specific integrations remain unspecified. Timeline of Key Events Here is a timeline that highlights significant milestones concerning DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): 2023: The initial deployment of the token occurs on the Solana blockchain, marked by its contract address. 2024: DIGITAL GOLD gains visibility as it becomes available for trading on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap, allowing users to trade it against SOL. 2025: The project witnesses sporadic trading activity and potential interest in community-led engagements, although no noteworthy partnerships or technical advancements have been documented as of yet. Critical Analysis Strengths Scalability: The underlying Solana infrastructure supports high transaction volumes, which could enhance the utility of $BITCOIN in various transaction scenarios. Accessibility: The potential low trading price per token could attract retail investors, facilitating wider participation due to fractional ownership opportunities. Risks Lack of Transparency: The absence of publicly known backers, developers, or an audit process may yield skepticism regarding the project's sustainability and trustworthiness. Market Volatility: The trading activity is heavily reliant on speculative behavior, which can result in significant price volatility and uncertainty for investors. Conclusion DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) emerges as an intriguing yet ambiguous project within the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem. While it attempts to leverage the “digital gold” narrative, its departure from Bitcoin's established role as a store of value underscores the need for a clearer differentiation of its intended utility and governance structure. Future acceptance and adoption will likely depend on addressing the current opacity and defining its operational and economic strategies more explicitly. Note: This report encompasses synthesised information available as of October 2023, and developments may have transpired beyond the research period.
