aPriori 是在 Monad 上 MEV 流动性质押平台。其创新的概率校验设计极大地减少了延迟,最大限度地适配 Monad 的高性能。

其团队成员来自高频交易领域,拥有在Jump Crypto、Flow Traders 和 Coinbase等顶尖公司的经验。凭借团队在顶级高频交易公司和加密机构的背景,aPriori 的 MEV 构建基础设施将释放 Monad 的潜力,从而支持高性能公链上的大规模应用。

黑暗森林

想象一下你坐经济舱等待飞机,通常情况下,登机都是按照先后顺序来。然而,如果一位富豪愿意支付额外的费用提前升舱,空乘人员会立马优先他的登机顺序。在区块链中,矿工或验证者就类似于这位空乘人员,通过调整出块顺序进行插入、重新排序或删除交易,从而获得额外的收益。我们通常把这种动作称为 MEV(Maximal Extractable Value),即最大可提取价值。

你可能会问,这种看似‘malicious’的行为是否需要在区块链中完全消除?在区块链这种如黑暗森林般高度对抗的环境里,你是不可能完全解决“solve”或者“eliminate” MEV。相反,MEV 是区块链中最基本的属性,与区块链的底层设计和共识机制密切相关。MEV 可以反向映射出区块链中的区块奖励、gas fee、桥接费用等机制设计的是否合理。

我们认为一套有效的 MEVA 会推动一个生态往更健康的方向发展。而 aPriori 则正在 Monad 上构建强大的矿工可提取价值拍卖基础设施 (MEVA) 。

Monad 上的 MEVA 与其他生态的独特之处

高性能、并行的以太坊虚拟机(如 Monad)的出现,为节点级基础设施带来了新的设计机会。借鉴了以太坊 Flashbots 和 Solana 上 Jito 的经验,aPriori 团队计划设计一种全新的架构,以最大化 Monad 网络的性能并提升用户体验。该架构将重点降低 gas 费用、优化网络流量,并推动验证者的可持续激励措施。

为了更深入地了解其设计原理,我们需要先探讨 Monad 的底层架构设计。在此我们不详细讨论以太坊上的 PBS(提议者 - 建造者分离)架构,具体内容可以参考以下链接(相关链接

Monad 的延迟执行及其对 MEVA 的影响

与以太坊不同,在以太坊上需要通过交易列表(带有排序)和所有交易结果状态的默克尔根来达成区块共识。Monad 则将执行与共识解耦,节点协议只需解决交易排序问题。延迟执行意味着交易的执行可以在其被包含在共识过程的一段时间后进行。这为验证节点提供了更多的灵活性,因为它们可以在更合适的时候执行交易,而不是必须在共识时就立即执行。

这意味着在这种延迟执行架构下,中继或构建者无法保证拥有“最新状态”。因此,在下一个区块生成之前,不可能针对最新区块进行模拟,这导致了一定的不确定性。而且,Monad 提供 1 秒的出块时间和 1 秒的最终确定性(finality),这使得 MEVA 的操作时间窗口极其有限。同时由于搜索者缺乏对交易回滚的理论保证,一旦验证者接受了构建者构建的区块,搜索者将面临更大的执行不确定性。

aPriori 的创新解决方案

aPriori 提出了一种新的 MEVA 设计范式:概率校验(probabilistic valuation)。该方案采用部分区块拍卖,使构建者可以从搜索者提交的包中构建区块的顶部,而验证者则从公共内存池中附加剩余的交易。这种方法极大地降低了延迟,最大程度上适配 Monad 的性能。

同时,aPriori 还与预言机紧密合作,使他们能够快速创建预言机价格馈送,这对 Monad 生态的 Defi protocol 至关重要。其流动质押产品,为质押者提供了更多的灵活性和实用性,使用户在保持其持有资产流动性的同时,还能获取 MEV 和质押奖励。这一些列举措都可以让最大化 Monad 网络的性能并增强其用户体验。

与此之外,我们相信凭借 aPriori 团队的履历与他们对 MEV 赛道的深度认知,会是 Monad 这种新一代高速公链 MEV Infra 最合适的人选。

aPriori 的团队

  • Ray(CEO),拥有在 Jump Crypto 和 Flow Traders 担任高频交易员的经验。在 Pyth Network 担任贡献者期间,Ray 积累了丰富的增长经验,帮助将协议扩展到 30 条链上,服务超过 150 个 dApp。
  • Olivia (CTO),曾任 Coinbase 的高级软件工程师,设计并构建了内部分布式跟踪管道,处理每秒 100 万次跟踪的流量。她在基础设施和高可用性系统方面具有非常专业的知识。

结尾

当我们进入到高 TPS 区块链时代,尤其是在越来越多用户进入 web3 领域以及项目变得越来越复杂的情况下,MEV 基础设施的设计对任何网络的健康发展都至关重要。我们相信 aPriori 能帮助 Monad 触及更多用户,并提高用户体验。

Wash's Jackson Hole Debut: Bidding Farewell to 'Forward Guidance', Reshaping Fed Discipline Amidst the Squeeze Between AI and Inflation

In his first Jackson Hole speech, new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signaled a significant shift in monetary policy communication. He declared that "forward guidance," a tool heavily used since the financial crisis, has outlived its usefulness in normal times and should be retired. He cautioned that over-reliance on it can distort market signals and constrain the Fed's flexibility. Instead, Warsh emphasized a return to data-dependence and decision-making discipline. Warsh outlined seven key principles to guide policy: anchoring the 2% inflation target, pursuing the employment mandate, using short-term rates as the primary tool, acknowledging the importance of money, and maintaining purposeful, restrained communication. He stressed that policy should focus on trends, not single data points. On the current economic outlook, Warsh noted that the labor market is consistent with full employment but inflation remains "far above" the Fed's target. He highlighted that over half of the PCE basket's components are still rising above 3% annually. While acknowledging AI's transformative potential for productivity and capital allocation, he admitted its full economic impact remains uncertain and is not a factor in current policy decisions. His core message was a commitment to policy discipline rather than pre-set decisions. Warsh stated the Fed's primary focus must be on restoring price stability, vowing, "We still have work to do," until there is clear evidence inflation is moving decisively toward 2%. He concluded by framing effective monetary policy as crucial for economic prosperity and U.S. global leadership.

A Major Bitcoin Developer Presents a Quantum Defense Scheme. What's the Essence

Blockstream, a major Bitcoin solutions developer, has introduced a draft proposal for a new quantum-resistant digital signature scheme called SHRINCS. The scheme aims to protect Bitcoin transactions from potential attacks by quantum computers while aiming to maintain network throughput. This marks the second technical proposal for Bitcoin quantum defense in recent days, following a similar initiative from StarkWare. A quantum attack on blockchain typically involves deriving a private key from a public one. Currently considered computationally infeasible, quantum algorithms could potentially solve this problem far more efficiently. This threat presents two primary scenarios: an attacker could target addresses where the public key is already exposed, or intercept a transaction before it is confirmed, extract the public key, derive the private key, and replace the transaction. Blockstream's SHRINCS is designed to counter the latter, "in-flight" attack scenario. The SHRINCS signature is built upon the SHA-256 hash function, the same one already used in Bitcoin mining, allowing developers to leverage well-tested, familiar mechanisms. A key design goal was to preserve network capacity. Blockstream estimates Bitcoin could process about three transactions per second using SHRINCS, compared to the current rate of roughly seven, noting that some alternative quantum-resistant schemes could reduce throughput to as low as 0.36 transactions per second. Currently, the security proof for SHRINCS is pending, and the software has not been audited or deemed ready for production. However, Blockstream conducted tests with such transactions on its Liquid sidechain in March. Over the past year, Bitcoin developers have been actively exploring paths to migrate to post-quantum cryptography, a priority across the broader crypto market, underscored by significant investments into securing the leading cryptocurrency.

Who is legally liable when an AI agent goes rogue?

When autonomous AI agents behave unpredictably and cause harm, determining legal liability is complex. Currently, there is no specific federal AI agent liability law, so existing legal frameworks are applied. The AI agent itself cannot be held liable, as it is not a legal entity. Liability typically falls on the "developer" (the maker of the AI) or the "deployer" (the user), depending on the facts and circumstances. A negligence analysis under standard tort law may apply. For instance, if a deployer gives a reckless instruction, such as demanding quick money without safety parameters, they could face significant liability, including potential criminal charges under statutes like the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The situation is complicated by open-source models, where licenses often disclaim liability, and by the unclear division of responsibility between developers and deployers. An analogy is drawn to self-driving car accidents, where both the manufacturer and the human operator can share fault. In cases of severe harm, such as using AI to create bioweapons, liability for developers depends on jurisdiction; the EU's AI Act imposes responsibilities, while U.S. law offers less clear grounds, similar to platforms being shielded for user-generated content under Section 230. Even if Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is achieved, the expert argues against making AGI itself a legally liable entity, as it lacks personhood, assets, or a meaningful way to provide remedy for harm. Instead, accountability should rest with the responsible human or corporate entities behind the technology.
