Resumen

每一个叙事的进步都代表着估值的量级提升。

原文作者:NP Hard(X:@xingpt

如果你最近玩了 Base 链,那么你一定知道上面最火的 token 叫做 Degen, 今天市值破了 15 亿美金。 2024 年 1 月在 Farcaster 上的 Degen 频道推出后,允许用户使用 Degen 打赏优质内容创作者。截至目前, 已有超过 8.3 万名持有者,并且还在快速增长。那 Degen 是怎么成长为 10 亿美金的“金狗”呢?

新意的空投玩法(打赏)

今年 1 月开始, Degen 在 Farcaster 社区迅速蹿红,社区成员以评论 数量+ DEGEN 的形式给自己喜欢的优质内容打赏。Degen 会根据用户的 farcaster 活跃度和 enggement 来每日获得打赏别人的额度(allowance),空投额度每季为根据用户收到别人打赏的总和,所以用户需要在 Farcaster 发好的内容才能获得打赏,很多活跃用户每天打赏额度甚至达到上千美金。

社区小众传播

Degen 的价格伴随着社区的热度迎来第一波上涨,此时 Degen 市值在 10 m 涨到 50 m 左右,而反过来 Degen 也为 Farcaster 带来一波用户增长。 Pingfeng 老师对 Degen 打赏的形容非常贴切:

天使轮融资

2 月,Degen 宣布完成 490.5 枚 ETH(约 147 万美元)天使轮融资,1co nfirmation 领投,Farcaster OG 等参投,资金将用于发展 Degen 生态系统和社区。可以看到有部分份额是给了一些社区项目,如 Drakula 等,也为 Degen 的 utility 打下伏笔。

应用赋能

Base 链上的去中心化抖音 Dracula 于 3.14 号上线,Dracula 由曾经粉丝代币$ALEX 的发行人 Alex Masmej 创建,并且获得了 Paradigm 投资。 由于此前 Degen 社区 grant 的 10 m DEGEN(现价值约 50 万美金),Dracula 的 app 使用 degen 做 token,用户可以使用 degen 去购买喜欢的博主,类似 Friend tech 的玩法,用户还可通过发布与观看短视频、分享链接、购买创作者代币赚取积分,并使用 BLOOD 进行打赏。

此外类似 NFT 铸造平台 zora,社区项目Bracket.GameRounds.wtf也适用 degen 作为 native token。此时的 Degen 市值增长到 70 m-100 m 左右。DegenCast 也会用 Degen 去买创作者的 Key。

Degen L3

Degen 从 3 月 20 号开始了开挂的道路,一是 3 月 29 号 Degen 公布了与 Syndicate 合作开发基于 Base 的L3的新闻,Degen Chain 的 Gas 代币也是 DEGEN,截止目前 Degen Chain 已经有超过 4 百万交易和 100 k 以上的钱包数。

第二则消息是 Farcaster 母公司 Merkle Manufactory 以 10 亿美金估值融资,Paradigm 的创始人领投。由于 Farcaster 没有发 token,所以社区开始将此融资视为$Degen 的利好。

从 Degen 发L3开始,整个估值空间已经对标各大公链,甚至可以说$Degen 成为了 Base 的 token,市值坐火箭一般几天之内上升到2B。

Degen 的启发

Degen 发源于 Farcaster 社区,植根于 Base 链,可以说与 Farcaster/Base 互相成就,Degen 的价格吸引来用户,而没有 Farcaster 社区则 Degen 也无从产生,Farcaster 社区项目也为 Degen 提供了应用场景。

Degen 的叙事由 社区项目自娱自乐 token, 进化到社交 Social 核心项目 utility token,再到公链的 gas token,从 10 M 到 100 m 到 1 B,每一个叙事的进步都代表着估值的量级提升。

Degen 的崛起也给了 Farcaster 社区项目发展的依靠路径,后续像 Drakula,DegenCast 等等都值得期待。

Ethereum's Next Stop Glamsterdam: The Core Upgrades You Must Know

The Glamsterdam upgrade, scheduled for late 2026, is a major Ethereum hard fork combining the Amsterdam execution layer and Glasgow consensus layer updates. Its primary goal is not simply increasing throughput but restructuring Ethereum's block production, validation, and resource pricing to enable future scaling. Key technical changes include **EIP-7732 (ePBS)**, which formally enshrines proposer-builder separation into the protocol. This decouples consensus and execution tasks, extending the execution payload propagation window to ~9 seconds. This provides more time for node verification, allowing for safer increases in block capacity (Gas limit) in the future. Another core component is **EIP-7928 (Block-Level Access Lists - BAL)**. It mandates a list of all state accessed within a block, moving this feature from an optional transaction-level (EIP-2930) to a mandatory block-level requirement. This explicit access list enables client optimizations like parallel disk reads and state root computations, paving the way for parallel execution. To manage long-term state growth, **EIP-8037** increases the cost of creating new state (e.g., accounts, storage slots), separating the pricing of permanent database bloat from temporary computation. This allows execution capacity to scale more aggressively without causing state size to explode proportionally. The planned upgrade bundle includes around 10 EIPs categorized into: 1) Core protocol restructuring (ePBS, BAL), 2) Resource pricing adjustments (state costs, calldata costs), and 3) EVM/developer improvements. Several other EIPs, including those potentially improving staker exit liquidity (EIP-8061, EIP-8080), are under consideration. The technical development coincides with significant personnel changes within the Ethereum Foundation's Protocol team. The Foundation's official communications frame this as part of a broader shift towards a "coalition of organizations" working on the Ethereum roadmap, citing new entities like ethlabs and the Ethereum Economic Zone. In summary, Glamsterdam represents a foundational re-engineering of Ethereum's block pipeline and economic model—focusing on ePBS, BAL, and multi-dimensional resource pricing—to prepare the network for sustainable, high-throughput scaling in the years ahead.

The Ethereum Foundation Has Split?! An In-depth Look at Ethlabs' "Bright Future"

"Ethereum Foundation Splits? Understanding Ethlabs and Its 'Bright Future'" Former Ethereum Foundation members Ansgar Dietrichs, Barnabé Monnot, Caspar Schwarz-Schilling, Josh Rudolf, and Julian Ma have announced the launch of Ethlabs, an independent non-profit research and development lab. Announced on June 22nd, the initiative comes amidst discussions about the need for new organizational structures within the Ethereum ecosystem, a point highlighted by Bankless founder David Hoffman. Ethlabs' mission is to establish Ethereum as the foundational settlement layer for the global economy. The organization positions itself as a bridge connecting frontline developers, applications, and user needs with the core protocol. It aims to translate real-world demands into protocol improvements, industry standards, and deployable products. The founding team brings significant expertise: Dietrichs and Monnot are highly cited researchers in areas like Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) and MEV, while Schwarz-Schilling, Rudolf, and Ma contribute backgrounds in economic modeling, consensus research, and applied cryptography. Initial supporters include BitMine, a major corporate ETH treasury; Sharplink, another treasury firm; and Consensys founder Joe Lubin in a personal capacity. Community backers include figures like Uniswap's Hayden Adams and Base's Jesse Pollak. The timing coincides with internal Ethereum Foundation discussions about "spinout" projects. While Ethlabs and the Foundation share research interests like MEV mitigation, Ethlabs frames its role not as a competitor but as part of a shift from a "single-core coordination model" to a "multi-R&D entity collaboration model." It views Ethereum as a public project belonging to all builders, with Ethlabs as one node in a broader governance network. Ultimately, Ethlabs represents an organizational evolution within the maturing Ethereum ecosystem. The key question is whether multiple research bodies can collaborate effectively to advance Ethereum as a competitive global settlement infrastructure.

'Bear' Doomsday Prophecy: AI 'Reaching Its Peak', U.S. Stocks to Top Out Fastest in Q3, Down 30-50%

"A Short Seller's Dire Prediction: AI Boom Fading, US Stocks to Peak by Q3 with 30-50% Decline" Prominent macro investors Jeffrey Gundlach and Felix Zulauf warn that the AI-driven market rally is nearing its end, forecasting a major US stock market correction of 30-50%, potentially beginning as early as Q3. Their analysis points to alarming parallels with historical market tops, citing extreme concentration in the top AI-related stocks within the S&P 500. Zulauf's bearish thesis hinges on unsustainable capital expenditure trends among major cloud companies, negative free cash flow emergence, and soaring semiconductor prices. Gundlach highlights dangerous parallels to the 1999 tech bubble peak. A key divergence from conventional wisdom is Gundlach's view that long-term Treasury yields will not fall meaningfully even during a recession, due to America's structurally out-of-control fiscal deficits and soaring interest costs. He warns this could force the government into yield curve control or even a sovereign debt restructuring. Both investors express severe concerns about the opaque private credit market, drawing parallels to the pre-2008 financial crisis environment. They allege widespread rating inflation, misrepresented credit quality, liquidity illusions, and fraudulent asset valuations within this sector. The analysis links the AI boom and private credit crisis through financing costs. They argue that as AI companies' cash flows weaken and they seek funding, a high and sticky long-term interest rate environment will severely stress lower-rated corporate borrowers, exposing cracks in credit markets. Finally, they predict a regime shift where the US dollar weakens and US equities underperform global markets, marking the end of their long dominance. The stage is set for a significant market reversal.

Why Does No One Buy DeFi Insurance?

**Title: Why Isn't DeFi Insurance Being Bought?** DeFi insurance, which promised automated, unbiased payouts via smart contracts, has failed to gain traction. The core issue is economic: high premiums severely erode the yields that attract users to DeFi in the first place. For example, insuring a USDC deposit on Aave V3 could cost 1.5–2.5% of the annual yield, leaving a net return barely above a savings account. For riskier platforms like Maple Finance or Ethena, premiums can even turn net yields negative. Consequently, users often forgo insurance, as it nullifies their profit motive. The market also suffers from structural flaws. First, DeFi risks are highly correlated (e.g., an oracle failure can impact multiple protocols simultaneously), unlike the independent risks in traditional insurance. This makes large-scale events potentially catastrophic for insurers. Second, the total capital in DeFi insurance pools (e.g., Nexus Mutual's ~$81.5M) is minuscule compared to the hundreds of billions in total value locked (TVL), creating a massive capacity gap. A single major hack could drain the entire industry's reserves. Furthermore, the governance model where tokenholders vote on claims creates a conflict of interest, incentivizing them to deny payouts to protect their own funds. As a result, the sector is shrinking. While pioneers like Nexus Mutual are pivoting to preventative measures (bug bounties) and seeking external capital via reinsurance, the fundamental problems remain. DeFi insurance represents a public good—its stability benefits the entire ecosystem—but without a mechanism to share costs, a "tragedy of the commons" ensues where no one is willing to pay, leaving the system vulnerable.
