币安 Launchpool 第 45 期项目 AltLayer 即将上线,也带出了新的赛道 RAAS(Rollups-as-a-Service)在现在多链的风潮中,不仅是 Optimism、Arbitrum、zkSync 以及 Polygon 等龙头公链纷纷推出 Rollup SDK,也衍生出了许多帮助项目方构建 Rollup 公链的服务商,而这类型的服务便称作是 RAAS(Rollups-as-a-Service)。

本周 Dr.DODO 将带大家一同了解 AltLayer 以及其他同属于 RAAS 赛道的五个早期项目介绍,我们一起畅游多链宇宙吧。

AltLayer

第一个介绍的是近期上币安交易所的 AltLayer,AltLayer 目前主打的是与 EigenLayer 再质押服务结合的 Restaked Rollups,能透过 EigenLayer 的主动验证服务(AVS)来加强 Rollup 公链的安全性、去中心化程度与用户体验,并且还提供临时执行层的服务,适用于特定短时间段用途的临时链,例如 Yuga Labs 发售 Otherdeed for Otherside NFT 时造成以太主网拥堵便能使用临时层服务来解决,除此之外 AltLayer 的平台是为多链和多虚拟机世界设计的,因此不仅支持 EVM 和 WASM (由 Cosmos、Polkadot 等使用),还计划支持 Solana VM(Sealevel) 和 Move VM。

Gelato

Gelato 一直参与为 EVM 公链提供各种后端基础设施服务,包括以太坊、BNB Chain、Polygon、Avalanche 等,Gelato 一直深入参与智能合约自动化服务,并在去年也加入 RAAS 的行列,专注于 zkRollup 公链的 zkRAAS 服务与 Polygon CDK 深度合作为项目方提供一键 zkRollup 升级,核心功能包括托管、监控和运营 Rollup,目前正在为 Astar Network 构建 zKatana(Astar zkEVM 的测试网络,除此之外近期也宣布支持 OP STACK 也就是 Optimism 推出的 Optimism Rollup SDK。

Conduit

Conduit 则是专注于 Optimism Rollup 的 RAAS 平台,去年三月获得 Paradiam 的 7 M 种子轮融资,最初专注于 OP Stack,并成功搭建了 Zora Network、Aevo、Lyra 以及 Orderly Network 等 OP stack Rollup 公链,并在最近也增加了对 Arbitrum Orbit 的支持,并帮助了 Parallel Network 成功构建基于 Arbitrum 的 L2 Rollup,而在数据可用性层(DA) 上 Conduit 同样支持不管是以太坊或是 Celestia,有了 Conduit 运营和维护 Rollup,项目方便可以专注于构建产品而不是基础设施。

Caldera

Caldera 同样是专注于 Optimism Rollup 的 RAAS 平台,去年九月获得了由红杉资本与 Dragonfly 领投 1kx、SevenX Ventures 等参投的 9 M 种子轮融资,Caldera 将自己定位为一站式服务为项目方提供所需的全部工具和资源构建 OP Stack 或 Arbitrum Orbit 框架的 Caldera Chains,在 Caldera 架构中结算层允许以太坊、BNB 链、Polygon 和 Avalanche 等 EVM 兼容链作为结算层,数据可用性层(DA)则同样支持以太坊、Celestia 或 EigenDA 等服务。

目前包括 Adventure Gold DAO 推出的 Loot Chain(OP Stack)、币安第 44 期 Launchpool 项目 Manta 的 Manta Pacific(OP Stack)、NFT 平台 Rarible 推出的 Rari Chain(Arbitrum Orbit)与前身为 NFTworlds 团队推出的 HYTOPIA(Arbitrum Orbit)皆是由 Caldera 提供技术支持构建。

Lumoz

Lumoz 是一个 zkRAAS 平台,去年四月获得由 Web3.com Ventures 领投 NGC Ventures 以及 Puzzle Ventures 等参投的 4 M 种子轮融资,它利用创新的混合共识机制,包括权益证明 (PoS) 和工作证明 (PoW)。Lumoz 还支持多个链作为基础结算层,可以选择以太坊、BNB 链、Polygon 或 Lumoz 本身进行结算并可以搭配多种 zkEVM 解决方案例如可以使用 Polygon zkEVM、zkSync、Scroll 或 StarkNet,最后数据可用性层(DA) 也可以任意选择以太坊、Celestia 或 EigenDA。近期在社区之间非常热门的 ZKFair 便是由 Lumoz 提供服务构建的。

Cartidge Slot

由 StarkNet 游戏基建服务商 Cartidge 推出的平台,Slot 允许开发人员部署可管理的 Katana 排序器和 Torii 索引器,并构建以 StarkNet 作为结算层的 L3 公链,是第一个专门针对全链上游戏(FOCG)需求而设计的 RAAS,目前披露的消息并不多,正在帮助 Realms 与 Dope Wars 建立基于 StarkNet 的 L3 游戏链。

笔者观点

自上一轮牛市便奠定的多链发展方向,在本轮牛市中更加大放异彩,模块化区块链的发展方向让建造一条链这件事更加简单,以往要构建一条公链所需的技术如今都各自有对应的团队与服务能够达成需求,RAAS 这方向便是看准了多链趋势为多链宇宙与 APP CHAIN 应用链而诞生的赛道。

叙事很棒,但实用性与真实用户我在这打上了个大大的问号,链始终是为了应用所服务的除了 GameFi 公链以及 Defi Perp 永续合约赛道能够排除互操作性外,其他目前的区块链项目尤其在 Defi 领域都是架构在少数几间上的乐高产品,并不具备独立做一条公链的条件。

因此发展一个能够面向大众大规模采用的应用,笔者认为优先级是更胜于这类型替公链服务产品。当然先发展基建还是先发展产品就像是“是先有蛋,还是先有鸡”的问题,两者环环相扣缺一不少,但在出现杀手级应用产品之前笔者对于这类型项目中期发展并不特别看好,短期能跟着新叙事题材获得关注,长期则是有望跟着爆款应用的出现水涨船高。

如何孵化或寻找具备发展独立应用链的产品与如何创造持续性的收入包括赋能给代币持有人等,是这些 RAAS 项目需要突破的一堵高墙。

Two Legends Lost in Three Days: Is Google's AI Talent Dam Cracking?

In three days, Google lost two AI legends. On June 18, Noam Shazeer, co-author of the seminal "Attention is All You Need" paper and Gemini co-lead, left for OpenAI. Just 48 hours later, John Jumper, 2024 Nobel laureate and AlphaFold lead, departed DeepMind for Anthropic. This follows Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic in May. These moves highlight a structural trend: top AI talent is concentrating at mission-driven, pre-IPO firms like OpenAI and Anthropic, while Google becomes a primary source. The exodus stems from a core mission mismatch. Google's ad-centric model often subordinates AI research to product and revenue goals, creating friction for pioneers like Shazeer, who returned in 2024 only to leave again. In contrast, OpenAI and Anthropic offer singular focus on pushing AI boundaries, whether towards AGI or safety-aligned models, which deeply appeals to top researchers like Jumper. Financial incentives amplify the pull. With both OpenAI and Anthropic nearing IPO, employees stand to gain immensely from equity, an upside Google's mature stock cannot match. Furthermore, the 2023 merger of Google Brain and DeepMind, intended to consolidate strength, has instead created cultural tension and slowed the path from research to product, as evidenced by Gemini's pace. This talent redistribution is reshaping the AI landscape. While Google retains vast data and compute resources, its true crisis is the quiet, continuous loss of the people who define the field's future. The real moat in AI is not infrastructure, but the concentration of brilliant minds—a battle Google is currently losing.

Behind the AI Report Card, Lies a Chinese 'Exam Setter'

Beyond the familiar performance charts like MMLU-Pro and MMMU, which major AI models strive to ace, stands a key "examiner": Chinese-Canadian researcher Wenhu Chen. An assistant professor at the University of Waterloo and founder of TIGERLab, Chen addresses the crucial need for more rigorous AI evaluation. As models like GPT-4 began scoring near-perfect results on older benchmarks like MMLU, it became difficult to distinguish their true capabilities. In response, Chen introduced MMLU-Pro in 2024, featuring harder, more reasoning-focused questions with more answer choices, successfully reintroducing meaningful performance gaps. His work extends to multi-modal evaluation with MMMU and its enhanced version, MMMU-Pro. These benchmarks test a model's ability to understand and reason with complex information from images, charts, and text across diverse academic subjects, exposing the significant challenges even top models face in genuine comprehension. Chen's background in complex QA, table reasoning, and his experience at Google DeepMind on projects like Gemini inform his approach. He understands that effective benchmarks must anticipate how models might "cheat" by memorizing data or avoiding visual analysis. His lab also actively researches video understanding and generation models (e.g., UniVideo, Vamba), ensuring his evaluation work is grounded in practical model-building challenges. Now at Meta's Super Intelligence Lab, Chen continues his focus on multi-modal data and evaluation, representing the deep yet often unseen contributions of Chinese talent in shaping the fundamental tools of the AI industry.

Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written at the Moment Cursor Sold for $600 Billion

Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: On Cursor's $60 Billion Sale Many aspiring founders see massive exits like Cursor's $60B sale and wonder why they can't achieve the same, often concluding opportunities are exhausted. But great companies aren't built in obvious, crowded spaces. Cursor, like Stripe, Figma, and Shopify before it, started with a non-consensus belief about the future. Before ChatGPT, they believed AI would transform knowledge work. They focused on a genuinely exciting domain, became their own customer, and obsessed over power users. Their journey involved years of "glass-chewing" effort before the market was ready. The pattern is consistent: identify a long-term technological shift, find a missed entry point, and execute for years before the trend becomes obvious. First-generation products (PayPal, Adobe, Amazon) prove a market exists. Second-generation winners (Stripe, Figma, Shopify) rebuild that market around new insights, technology, or changing customer behaviors. Founders must identify their phase in the cycle. Early entrants like Coinbase or Cursor focus on making new technology usable for power users. Later entrants find the "yin" to the established "yang"—the blind spots incumbents miss as they grow distant from individual users. The key is deep market immersion. Use every product in your space. Talk to users. Build an audience. Stop looking for ideas and start *seeing* them everywhere. Then, choose one. The idea must offer a 10x improvement or solve a "hair-on-fire" pain point—something severe enough that users are already crafting workarounds. When building, avoid feature bloat. Ask: why would someone switch? Great startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction (e.g., Cursor forked VS Code instead of creating a new editor). Distribution is the underestimated moat. Before product-market fit, achieve distribution-market fit. How do customers discover new tools? Founders like those at Airbnb, Stripe, and Cursor did unscalable, manual work to recruit early users. The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Cursor built for years pre-market, faced rejection, and persisted. So did Airbnb, Nvidia, and Rain (which launched post-FTX collapse). The lesson isn't that these founders were smarter, but that they stayed in the game long enough for their insights to compound. Framework: Spot technological cycles. Cultivate unique insight. Obsess over your market. Talk to customers. Find a hair-on-fire problem. Build the simplest wedge. Win your distribution channel. Above all, don't quit when it gets hard. Most people won't do these things consistently. The few who do build the next generation of great companies. Go build.

Weekly Editor's Picks (0613-0619): Market Insights & Analysis This weekly digest curates in-depth analysis often lost in the information flow, focusing on key insights across macro trends, investment, and technology. **Macro & Geopolitics:** With the Strait of Hormuz reopening and military conflict shifting to negotiation, markets are pivoting from "war shock" to "supply restoration." Trades include shorting crude risk premiums, longing airlines/tourism, Asian energy importers, and bond duration, while shorting inflation expectations. LNG, fertilizer, and chemical chains are also being repriced. **Investment & VC:** Ray Dalio advises against betting on concentrated AI giants dominating indices, advocating for diversified portfolios of high-quality, low-correlation assets instead. Analysis covers the 4-year crypto cycle, predicting the core surviving product by 2029 will be asset trading markets. Current BTC metrics suggest a potential bottoming zone, presenting a patient accumulation window. SpaceX's high-profile IPO at a $2.1T valuation faces scrutiny over fundamentals, with key watchpoints being its likely inclusion in the Nasdaq index and Q2 earnings. Concerns are raised about potential "gamma squeeze" and systemic risks if its narrative-driven valuation gets amplified by passive index funds. Robinhood (HOOD) is noted for breaking its high correlation with crypto, bolstered by its stock trading and new underwriting business. **Web3 & AI:** A warning highlights ~$1.8T in off-balance-sheet AI infrastructure commitments (purchase commitments, leases) as a potential systemic risk if AI monetization lags. AI models are being used for World Cup predictions, adding a new layer for betting markets. A cost breakdown of a $20 AI subscription reveals the supply chain from model companies to cloud, GPUs, and power. **Prediction Markets:** The emergence of prediction market "concept stocks" is noted, with Robinhood developing its own platform, Rothera, signaling a shift from market competition to a "channel war" for user access. **CeFi & DeFi:** The SpaceX IPO tested perpetual contract mechanisms for pre-IPO assets, highlighting challenges in handling corporate actions like stock splits on-chain. The de-pegging of STRC (Strategy's preferred share) to ~$89 reflects market concerns over MicroStrategy's capital structure and BTC-backed leverage model. BlackRock's covered-call Bitcoin ETF (BITA) offers yield but caps upside, appealing to yield-seeking institutions. **Ethereum:** An opinion piece argues Ethereum's core strength is its vast developer community and composability, solidifying its role as the default operating system for the financial internet. **Weekly Hot Topics:** Include the US-Iran deal reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Fed's hawkish hold, Anthropic restricting model access, SpaceX acquiring Cursor, and a humorous stock surge for "Liuliumei" due to its "LLM" ticker.

Alliance's Co-Founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written on the Occasion of Cursor's $60 Billion Sale

In this letter to entrepreneurs, Alliance reflects on the success of Cursor's $60 billion sale to Elon Musk, using it as a case study to counter the misconception that opportunities in crowded fields like AI or crypto are exhausted. The piece argues that great companies like Cursor, Stripe, Figma, and Shopify are not built by geniuses with perfect ideas, but by founders who start with a non-consensus belief about the future and build for years before that future becomes obvious to everyone. They identify long-term shifts, find overlooked entry points, and execute relentlessly. The framework for success involves: 1. **Identifying your place in the technology cycle**: Early-stage opportunities focus on making new tech usable for power users (e.g., Coinbase, Cursor). Later-stage opportunities involve finding the "yin" to an existing "yang"—the blind spots of first-generation players (e.g., Stripe vs. PayPal, Figma vs. Adobe). 2. **Cultivating unique insights**: Immerse yourself deeply in the market. Use every product, talk to users, and build an audience. Insights will emerge naturally from deep engagement. 3. **Finding a "hair-on-fire" problem**: Look for a 10x improvement or a severe, urgent pain point. The strongest signal is people already building clumsy workarounds. 4. **Building a focused MVP**: Don't just add features because you can. Ask why users would abandon their current tool for yours. The best startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction. 5. **Winning a distribution channel**: Distribution is often the moat. Before product-market fit, achieve channel-market fit. Find where your customers are and build an engine to reach them, even through unscalable, manual efforts initially. 6. **Persistence**: The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Success stories like Cursor, Airbnb, and Nvidia involved years of grinding, rejection, and perseverance when the path forward seemed unclear. The conclusion is that there is no secret. Most people fail to consistently execute these steps over the long term. The few who do build the companies that define the next era. The world is yours to create.
