币界网报道:

DeFi教育基金(DEF)周一与True Return Systems(TRS)达成协议,购买类似甲骨文技术的专利。这项有争议的专利是针对MakerDAO和Compound这两个去中心化金融协议的两起法律诉讼的核心。

预言机是将区块链连接到外部系统(如数字资产价格馈送)的实体,是DeFi中的关键工具。此次收购结束了与该公司的斗争,DEF曾将其描述为“专利流氓”

根据DEF的说法,TRS在2022年起诉MakerDAO和Compound使用类似甲骨文的技术,声称拥有“一种将计算机化账本的存储和处理分离以改善功能的方法和系统”的所有权。但该倡导组织以及这两项协议的律师对这些指控表示异议,认为专利诉讼有些过头。

DEF首席法律顾问Amanda Tuminelli周一对Decrypt表示:“Oracle技术对DeFi领域非常重要,所以……我们看到了一个潜在的问题,可能会导致开发人员或用户的权利受到侵犯。”。

国防部拒绝透露和解金额,理由是谈判的“保密”性质。

法庭文件显示,TRS的诉讼试图禁止这些协议“制造、使用或销售”基于类似甲骨文技术的产品。但事实并非如此。TRS周一提出终止对这些协议的诉讼。该决定是在该公司同意将其专利出售给DEF后不久做出的。

Tuminelli告诉Decrypt,此次专利购买不仅保证了MakerDAO和Compound可以继续使用类似oracle的技术来为其链上价格馈送提供动力,还确保了其他协议可以将该技术用于许多其他应用程序。

图米内利说:“任何使用类似甲骨文技术的协议……都可能是下一个。”。“现在,这项专利不能用来对付任何人。”

DEF表示,计划将该专利奉献给公众,这意味着每一项协议都将拥有使用其知识产权申请中提到的类似甲骨文的技术的合法权利。

DEF多年来一直在与这项专利作斗争,于2023年底向美国专利商标局提交了一份请愿书,要求废除TRS的专利,试图废除针对MakerDAO和Compound的诉讼依据。

DEF去年9月在推特上发帖称:“ICYMI,我们向美国专利商标局申请取消一项专利,该专利被一名‘专利流氓’用来起诉DAO和‘协议’。”。然而,它最终决定购买该专利,从而更快地结束了这件事。

图米内利说:“我们认为解决所有问题的最有效方法——我们的请愿书和这两起诉讼——就是解决这个案件。”。

Hong Kong Web3 Carnival: The Watershed Moment for Web3 Entering the Execution Phase

The 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival marked a significant shift from previous industry discussions, signaling that Web3 has moved beyond theoretical validation into a phase of institutional and structural implementation. Hong Kong is not merely building a "Web3 industry cluster" but developing an operating system for the next-generation financial infrastructure. Key developments include the expansion of asset tokenization beyond cryptocurrencies to encompass bonds, real estate, and future income rights. This transition represents a fundamental restructuring of financial logic—shifting from institution-dominated asset control to rule-driven, programmable asset流动性 and distribution. Tokenization enables lower-friction participation and broader access to financial resources. Concurrently, AI is evolving from a tool into an autonomous economic agent. The proposed Decentralized Agentic Economy (DAE) framework suggests AI agents, empowered by blockchain-based identity and programmable money, will independently execute transactions and strategies—redefining market dynamics and reducing intermediation. Regulatory progress has been systematic: Hong Kong has expanded oversight to include exchanges, custody, staking, and derivatives, while gradually approving products like tokenized funds and stablecoins. The "same risk, same regulation" principle, combined with sandbox mechanisms, provides stability and transparency—key advantages in a globally fragmented regulatory landscape. Hong Kong’s approach integrates three core elements: real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, stablecoin settlement networks, and AI-driven economic agents. This systemic build-up positions Hong Kong not just as a participant but as a potential rule-maker in the next-era financial system, where asset flow, rules, and participants are simultaneously transformed.
