Introduzione

BTC 生态对于 DeFi 的承接,很大程度上将由交易环节打开,在叙事空间不断放大的同时,基于闪电网络/ L2 的 BTC 生态交易平台的发展值得关注。当然,目前的 BTC-Fi 中,链上标的总交易量有所上涨,但总规模仍然较小,这是一个需要时间和周期的板块。

长期以来,BTC 作为“数字黄金”,普遍被视为非应用型资产,不过,让 BTC 加入 DeFi 乐高的构思由来已久,目前的搭建方案主要在于 BTC 的 L2,将 BTC 与 DeFi 进行桥接。

相当长的一段时间内,比特币二层的性能尚不成熟,市场仍在等待新技术或新模型的突破。

自 BTC taproot 升级之后,开发人员可嵌入资产元数据,让 BTC 具备成为数据平台的可能。着促使了一些创新的不断涌现:例如,前段时间风靡一时的 Nostr 、以及 Dumas 应用带来的 BTC 打赏功能,让闪电网络及 BTC 二层概念脱颖而出。2 月份,基于 Ordinal 协议的 BTC NFT ,给市场带来了 BTC 原生生态及序数 NFT 概念,由社区自下而上催生热度,BTC 生态再度受瞩。

虽然基于 Ordinal 协议的 NFT 在社区伴有争议,该生态已从最初的场外订单簿交易、逐渐发展出 NFT 钱包、二级交易市场、NFT 发行工具等配套设施,虽然这种“占赛道式”的设施尚不成熟,但不难看出,市场对 BTC-Fi 的预期已经抬头。

BTC 二层仍然是 BTC-Fi 预期的重要实现基建。大多数的 BTC-Fi,其设计思路仍是延用以太坊 L2 及侧链,保持主链作为数据状态和安全基础层。其中,侧链是较容易实现的方式,但安全性始终无法媲美主链和 L2,制约了侧链的发展速度;作为 BTC 二层的闪电网络,历经几年发展,数据保持着一定的增长趋势,在比特币支付这一落地场景中更为占优。

依据生态发展情况,将比特币二层生态主要参与者大致归为:

闪电网络:

OmniLab

Lightning Labs

RGB

Portal

侧链:

RSK

Stacks(原 Blockstack)

Liquid Network (由 Blockstream 开发)

这包括了当前 BTC 生态的主要市场热点:

Lightning(闪电网络):一个用于在比特币上进行扩展支付的层。专注于以最小化信任的方式实现速度更快、成本更低的支付。通过特定渠道在链下支付,并在比特币主链进行最终结算。没有执行环境或全局账本。

Stacks:一个专注于智能合约的比特币层。有一个完整的执行环境(即任何可构建在以太坊等链上的应用程序可构建在 Stacks 层上)。

如何进一步挖掘 BTC-Fi ?

在公链或者 L2 生态在扩张进程中,整个生态系统的流动性至关重要,DEX 占据了非常重要的橘色。参照以太坊与 Uniswap :市场对于 Uniswap 出现之后的以太坊,预期是完全不同的。

在这个方向,我们更倾向于 Layer2/BTC 交易协议,倘若闪电网络的快捷性再加以 Dex 的优势,交易量规模将再度扩大。

以 Cabin VC Portfolio 的 Portal 为例:Portal 是一个基于 Fabric 技术的 BTC 二层,并从功能性上划分出不同的层:

底层协议:Fabric(Fabric 是基于比特币的区块链、无需信任的应用层,提供类似操作系统的功能),继承比特币 L1 的安全性。并作为其他两层的底层协议提供支持,以能够进行原子交换;Layer2:闪电网络; Layer3:订单簿;

Portal 进一步展开了原子交换(Atomic swaps)的关键叙事:

* 基于 HTLC(Hashed Timelock Contract,哈希时间锁)的原子交换:用户 A 生成随机密码 a, 用户 B 生成随机密码 b, 双方各自将 ab 计算哈希并互相发送,哈希值相匹配则意味着转账方授权了接收方来提现,双方将收到彼此的 Token ,实现去信任化的资产跨链。

在原子互换的基础上,Portal 构建了订单簿(Order Book)结构,以链上的无信任托管及跨链原子交换,访问订单簿,交易订单统一匹配来自聚合中心化 /去中心化金融平台中交易员的流动性,以最佳执行路径进行链下计算与报价。

Portal 的两层结构中,用户提出交易需求、将交易 Token 交由链上期权类智能合约保证交易的顺利执行,同时保持对资产的托管,直到链上实现原子交换、交易执行完毕。

原子交换属于 0 滑点交易,基于闪电网络和 ZK 技术,增加隐私和匿名性,同时降低链上结算费用,能够在一定程度上提高比特币等资产的流动性和交易深度。

BTC 生态对于 DeFi 的承接,很大程度上将由交易环节打开,在叙事空间不断放大的同时,基于闪电网络/ L2 的 BTC 生态交易平台的发展值得关注。当然,目前的 BTC-Fi 中,链上标的总交易量有所上涨,但总规模仍然较小,这是一个需要时间和周期的板块。

Bitcoin Panicking? Mythos Cracks Post-Quantum Cryptography Algorithm in 60 Hours

Claude Mythos Preview, a new AI system from Anthropic, has made significant breakthroughs in fundamental cryptanalysis, targeting the mathematics underlying algorithms rather than just implementation bugs. Its first target was HAWK, a candidate in the NIST post-quantum signature standardization process. Mythos identified a previously unexploited symmetry (a nontrivial automorphism) in the lattice structure of HAWK, effectively halving its effective key strength. It achieved this feat in just 60 hours, a task that had eluded two years of human expert review. Crucially, the human operator was not a lattice cryptography expert, primarily managing the project while AI agents debated and discovered the attack path. Its second, more dramatic achievement was against a simplified 7-round version of AES-128, the world's most widely used symmetric encryption algorithm. Initially reluctant, stating the task was "impossible," Mythos was prompted to "try novel ideas." It then autonomously rewrote its own agent framework and proceeded to discover a novel attack method it named "Möbius Bridge." This technique bypasses a critical 256-guess step in previous "meet-in-the-middle" attacks, resulting in a speedup of 200-800 times. Both findings are currently "harmless"—HAWK is not deployed, and full AES-128 remains secure. However, the process reveals a profound shift. Mythos completed the AES discovery in about a week, while human researchers spent nearly a month verifying its correctness. This highlights a new bottleneck: the rate of AI-driven discovery may soon outpace human capacity for verification. The research concludes with a pressing, unanswered question: what happens when such an AI finds a critical flaw in a widely deployed, real-world cryptosystem?

From Computing to Storage: The Two-Dimensional Semiconductor Industry Chain is Taking Shape

The article "From Computing to Storage: The 2D Semiconductor Industry Chain is Taking Shape" discusses the rise of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors as a pivotal material in the post-Moore era. As silicon-based chips approach physical limits, 2D semiconductors like molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), offer atomic-layer thinness and superior electrical properties, making them a promising non-silicon alternative for advanced nodes beyond 1nm. Globally, industry leaders like TSMC, Intel, and Samsung, along with research institutes like IMEC, are actively investing in this field. Domestically in China, significant progress is being made across the entire supply chain, from material production and equipment R&D to chip integration and ecosystem development. **Key highlights include:** * **Material & Equipment Breakthroughs:** Chinese research teams and companies like Jimo Xin Technology have achieved mass production of 6-inch and 8-inch 2D semiconductor single-crystal wafers using domestically developed equipment like Oxy-MOCVD. This addresses the critical challenge of large-area, high-quality material growth. Breakthroughs have also been made in p-type 2D materials (e.g., MoSi2N4) and wafer-scale ferroelectric thin films, essential for building complementary circuits and low-power transistors. * **Engineering Ecosystem Formation:** A landmark 8-inch 2D semiconductor pilot line in Pudong has become fully operational, bridging the gap between lab research and industrial manufacturing. The release of a Process Design Kit (PDK) compatible with mainstream EDA tools further connects design and fabrication, supporting wafer-level manufacturing of complex circuits. * **Expanding Application Landscape:** Applications are expanding from logic computing to memory. Chinese researchers have developed pioneering 2D semiconductor-based microprocessors, including a 32-bit RISC-V CPU and a higher-density multi-bit parallel processor. In memory, 2D materials' ultra-low leakage current enables DRAM with exceptionally long data retention and advances toward single-electron non-volatile storage. 2D semiconductors also show unique potential in RF circuits, radiation-hardened communications, flexible electronics, and quantum computing. In conclusion, the 2D semiconductor industry in China is rapidly advancing from laboratory research into the engineering validation and small-batch production phase. A complete industrial chain covering materials, equipment, manufacturing, design, and application is初步 forming, positioning the sector as a new competitive dimension in the global semiconductor landscape.

Coinbase and Robinhood Vie for the Next Phase of Cryptocurrency Market Evolution Ahead of Earnings Reports

Coinbase and Robinhood are set to report their Q2 2026 financial results this week, with the outcomes serving as key indicators for the future direction of the crypto market. While both companies have grown from their 2021 IPOs—Coinbase as a dedicated crypto exchange and Robinhood as a commission-free brokerage that expanded into crypto—their paths are now converging in competition. Analysts project Robinhood to report a profit of about $0.40 per share on ~$1.25B revenue, while Coinbase is expected to post a loss of ~$0.36 per share on ~$1.3B revenue. Despite similar revenue figures, investors value Robinhood more highly, viewing it as a diversified fintech firm rather than a pure-play crypto company. This perception has been reinforced as Robinhood gained retail trading market share, with its quarterly trading volume growing from ~$261B in early 2024 to over $704B in Q1 2026, outpacing Coinbase's growth to ~$517B. Both companies are investing heavily in blockchain-based financial infrastructure, such as tokenized stocks and stablecoins, to build more sustainable revenue streams beyond transaction fees. Coinbase has successfully reduced its reliance on trading fees, with subscription/service revenue and stablecoin revenue seeing significant growth. However, over half of its subscription revenue is tied to USDC, exposing it to new competition from banks and payment processors launching rival stablecoins. Robinhood is pursuing a global expansion strategy, recently launching its own layer-2 blockchain (Robinhood Chain) and offering tokenized U.S. stocks in over 120 countries. Its revenue is more diversified, with crypto assets making up only about 12% of its total, which helps explain its premium valuation compared to Coinbase. The upcoming reports will reveal which company's strategy is gaining more traction in shaping the next phase of crypto market evolution.
