以太坊基金会遭“前任”检举:当年The DAO被盗系自导自演Solana 的攻势汹汹来袭,而 ETH 看起来却毫无还手之力。这不,近期,以太坊又迎来场“指控危机”。

ETH 曾经面临过很多凶险时刻,最惊险的一次莫过于 The DAO 事件,这次黑客攻击事件几乎摧毁了整个社区。而最终,支持回滚和反对回滚的双方在分叉完成后停止了争论,一切看似也尘埃落定。

但就在最近,却又有基金会的前成员爆出言论,指出 The DAO 事件是基金会成员一手策划,此番言论到底是真是假?

7 年前的以太坊往事

让我们简单先回顾一下历史。DAO,即去中心化自治组织,最早是由V神提出的一个概念。DAO 依靠智能合约在区块链上运行,没有法律实体,我们可以把它理解成“去中心化的公司”。

而 The DAO 则是区块链公司 Slock.it 发起的一个众筹项目。

以太坊基金会遭“前任”检举:当年The DAO被盗系自导自演

Slock.it 是一家将区块链与物联网相结合的公司。一开始,他们只是想利用以太坊来开发他们的“全民分享网络”。随着开发的深入,他们发现,去中心分享经济很有前景。他们在伦敦的 Devcon 1 大会上演示了这个概念和愿景,出乎意料的是,这个项目反响热烈。于是,就有了 The DAO 项目。

在 The DAO 项目中,代币的持有人拥有很大的权力——项目资金的用途需要代币持有人投票决定,相关的提议由智能合约支撑。

2016 年 4 月 30 日,The DAO 项目开始众筹。项目代币 DAO,众筹时间为期 28 天,总共筹到了超过 1200 万个 ETH,几乎占到了当时 ETH 总数量的 14% ,时价超 1.5 亿美元。

同年 6 月 12 日,The DAO 背后的主要设计师之一 Stephan Tual,声称他们发现了软件中存在“递归调用漏洞”问题。

然而,或许是众筹成功的喜悦掩盖了潜在的危险, 6 月 17 日,黑客利用 The DAO 代码里的一个递归漏洞,不停地从 The DAO 资金池里分离资产;随后,黑客利用了 The DAO 的第二个漏洞,避免分离后的资产被销毁,进行了两百多次攻击,总共盗走了 360 万的以太坊,超过了该项目筹集的以太坊总数目的三分之一。

如果是正常情况,The DAO 的资产被分离之后,就会被销毁。但是,黑客在调用结束前,把盗来的 The DAO 资产转移到了其他账户,避免了被销毁。万幸的是,也正是由于这些“不良”代码,黑客无法将这些以太坊提走。因为代码里规定,要过 28 天之后才能提现,这给了社区足够的时间研究对策黑客利用这两个漏洞。

最终,经过社区讨论,决定对 ETH 进行分叉。分叉形成了两条链,未改变黑客盗币事实的原链成为 ETC,而抹去了盗币事实的链成为了新的 ETH,各自代表不同的社区共识。

7 年后被前任“检举”

Steven Nerayoff——以太坊基金会的前法律顾问与咨询师,在最近接受博客采访时表示V神曾经和他一起住在纽约,并在他租用的办公室里工作。他在博客上以太坊的 DAO 黑客攻击是内部人员所为,他声称,TruthLabs 发现的证据表明,以太坊基金会和 Slock.it 是臭名昭著的 The DAO 黑客事件的幕后黑手,其认为以太坊已经成为一个受少数开发者、监管机构和投资者影响的系统,其行为与社区的意图相悖。

同时,Nerayoff 还点名了前 SEC 主管 Bill Hinman,指出 Hinman 个人财务冲突对 SEC 诉 Ripple 案的潜在影响。

此后,有 X 用户翻出了一篇GitHub 文章,该文章指控 Swiss SA Bity 可能与其他以“白帽集团”或“罗宾汉集团”名义运营的组织合作,并对 The DAO 这起盗窃事件负责,他们目前仍持有约 7, 000, 000 个以太币,而“白帽集团”则是由以太坊基金会的 Alex Van De Sande 负责组织的。

以太坊基金会遭“前任”检举:当年The DAO被盗系自导自演

有意思的是,Steven Nerayoff 曾被美国司法部于 2019 年指控犯有刑事敲诈勒索罪,其个人信誉受到打击。一名纽约法官于 2023 年 5 月驳回了这项指控,并清理了他的指控。

Nerayoff 的指控是真是假?我们暂时不得而知,且有待官方回应,但至少指控者的言论重新让 ETH 在这个自身缺席的牛市获得了一丝丝的关注?

If the AI Bubble Is Already Bursting, Who Will Truly Remain?

**Summary: If the AI Bubble is Bursting, What Will Remain?** The debate around an AI bubble is intensifying, with figures like Ray Dalio warning of high valuations while Jensen Huang sees immense opportunity. This echoes the dot-com bubble, which saw massive wealth destruction but ultimately left behind critical infrastructure like undersea cables and broadband, enabling future giants like Amazon and Netflix. Similarly, today's AI boom involves trillions invested in data centers, power, cooling, and GPUs, while application-layer revenue remains comparatively modest. This investment-disparity signals a bubble. However, the core technological progress is real and accelerating. AI inference costs have plummeted by over 99.7% since 2023, making intelligence increasingly cheap and accessible. This cost collapse is unlocking vast new demand. Instead of reducing spending, enterprises are tripling their AI cloud expenditure. Cheap "tokens" enable AI to move beyond simple chatbots into complex workflows—automating code writing, legal document review, financial analysis, and scientific research. This follows "Jevons's paradox": improved efficiency leads to greater total consumption. The market is now undergoing a necessary purification, weeding out "API-wrapper" startups with no real moat. The deeper evolution involves a shift from capital expenditure (CapEx) on infrastructure to operational expenditure (OpEx) on value-creation in applications. While hardware vendors currently profit most, long-term value will migrate to AI-native firms solving vertical industry problems. Ultimately, a market correction will cleanse speculative excess but will not reverse the AI+ trend. The massive physical and algorithmic infrastructure being built will endure, becoming a cheap, utility-like foundation. Just as the internet became indispensable to all industries post-2000, AI is poised to empower and redefine every sector, moving society irreversibly toward an intelligence-augmented era. The bubble may burst, but the underlying productive momentum is solid.

Microsoft CEO: In the AI Era, How Do You Define a Company's Moat?

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella argues that in the AI era, a company's true competitive edge, or "moat," is not determined by choosing the single most powerful model, but by its ability to build a continuous "learning loop." This system integrates and evolves by connecting human workflows, domain expertise, organizational judgment, and employee experience. He posits that future companies will accumulate two types of capital: Human Capital (employee knowledge, judgment, creativity) and "Token Capital" (a firm's own built and owned AI capabilities). Importantly, AI amplifies rather than devalues human capital. Human direction is essential to guide progress, as computational power alone is aimless. The core opportunity lies in creating a closed-loop system where human and token capital reinforce each other in a compound, self-improving cycle. A company must be able to preserve its unique institutional knowledge—its "company veteran" expertise—even if it switches underlying general-purpose AI models. This requires private evaluation benchmarks, reinforcement learning environments based on internal data, and queryable knowledge bases. Nadella warns against a future where economic value is concentrated by a few dominant models that commoditize entire industries' knowledge. Instead, the priority should be building a broad "frontier ecosystem" where every company, industry, and nation can own its learning loop. This allows organizations to retain control of their intellectual property, amplify employee capabilities, and ensure the economic value created by AI is captured within their own businesses and communities. True corporate sovereignty in the AI age comes from turning organizational knowledge into a compounding system that creates enduring, defensible value.

ETFs Are Just the Ticket: The True Institutionalization of Bitcoin Is Happening Where You Can't See It

Beyond the Bitcoin ETF spotlight, a deeper institutionalization is underway, leveraging Bitcoin as a foundational financial primitive. Institutions are using Bitcoin for purposes long reserved for assets like U.S. Treasuries and gold: as collateral for loans, insurance reserves, and the backbone of rated bonds. Examples include a Barbados-based insurer capitalizing with $40M in Bitcoin reserves and Ledn's $188M securitization of Bitcoin-backed loans, which received the first-ever investment-grade rating (BBB-) from S&P for a digital asset-backed security. This structure was stress-tested during a 27% price drop in early 2026, triggering automatic liquidations that functioned as designed but revealed the systemic risk of synchronized selling across leveraged positions. Infrastructure is evolving to support this, with platforms like Anchorage Digital's Atlas network enabling secure, institutional-grade settlement and collateral management. Strategies like basis trades and corporate treasuries (exemplified by companies like MicroStrategy issuing billions in equity and debt to fund Bitcoin acquisitions) further integrate Bitcoin into financial mechanics. While ETFs solved "how to own" Bitcoin, these developments answer "what to do with it," embedding the asset into the working machinery of finance—as collateral upon which loans, derivatives, and structured products are built. The real, enduring institutional shift is happening in these largely invisible plumbing and financing systems.

ZEC Co-Founder Responds to Orchard Vulnerability: No Signs of Theft, Orchard Pool to Be Sealed

ZEC Co-Founder Addresses Orchard Vulnerability: No Signs of Theft, Plans to Sunset Orchard Pool A security vulnerability was recently discovered in Zcash's Orchard shielded pool, raising key concerns. The primary questions are whether the flaw was exploited, if user funds are safe, whether users can verify the total ZEC supply, and if other similar vulnerabilities exist. Analysis suggests the vulnerability was likely not exploited prior to its discovery. It was found proactively by a researcher using specialized tools, not due to an active breach. The development team and mining pools acted quickly to contain the issue. Typical financially-motivated attacks would likely have left visible on-chain evidence, which has not been observed. User funds in Orchard are considered safe and should be recoverable, assuming no prior exploitation. If the flaw was never used, all legitimate funds can be withdrawn. The article outlines risks associated with moving funds to transparent addresses or other pools, but concludes that leaving assets in place is a reasonable option. Currently, users cannot independently verify that the total ZEC supply hasn't been inflated due to this bug. However, the planned Ironwood network upgrade is designed to resolve this. It will permanently close the Orchard pool to new deposits and internal transfers, allowing only withdrawals. This mechanism will cap total withdrawals at the amount of legitimately deposited funds, enabling anyone to cryptographically verify the supply post-upgrade. Multiple teams, including Shielded Labs, have conducted extensive audits focused on counterfeiting vulnerabilities, assisted by advanced AI tools. No additional flaws of this type have been found so far, increasing confidence that no other similar undisclosed vulnerabilities exist. In summary, evidence indicates the Orchard bug was probably not used, user funds are secure, and no other counterfeiting flaws are currently known. The upcoming Ironwood upgrade will restore users' ability to independently verify the total ZEC supply, closing this chapter.
