币界网报道:

MetaMask宣布通过与万事达卡和Baanx的合作,试行推出MetaMask卡。

根据其网站上的一篇帖子,该合作伙伴关系推出了世界上第一张万事达卡支付卡,允许用户在接受万事达卡的任何地方从他们的MetaMask钱包直接购买。

自我保管钱包用户在尝试在加密货币世界之外消费资金时会遇到重大障碍,因为他们通常在将加密货币资产转移到交易所后必须转入传统银行账户。这一过程使得加密货币作为一种支付方式很难成为主流。

Consensys高级产品经理Lorenzo Santos表示:“这给了人们更多的自由来消费他们的资产,MetaMask Card代表了消除区块链和传统支付之间存在的摩擦的重要一步。这是一种范式转变,可以两全其美。”。

使用新的MetaMask卡,用户可以使用其MetaMask钱包中的资金进行购买,并且使用万事达卡的全球商家网络通过Apple Pay或Google Pay付款后,加密货币会立即转换为法定货币。

万事达卡区块链和数字资产执行副总裁Raj Dhamodharan在Metamask母公司Consensys的一篇帖子中表示:“万事达卡在商业中心的地位为我们提供了一个独特的有利位置,可以为他们识别现实世界的挑战和机遇。”。

用户必须将资金存放在同样由Consensys推出的Linea Network上,并在MetaMask上设置卡的支出上限。目前符合条件的货币包括USDC、USDT和WETH。

Baanx首席商务官Simon Jones表示:“我们很高兴与web3领先的钱包MetaMask合作,通过使用户成为自己的银行来推动金融革命。”

试点阶段正在欧盟(EU)和英国(UK)开始,目前仅对几千名用户开放。用户可以通过转到他们的MetaMask投资组合并检查“卡”选项卡来检查他们的资格。

展望未来,MetaMask卡正在为更广泛的可用性做准备,并计划将其业务扩展到更多地区。未来的更新将是加密货币爱好者应该注意的事情。

Can a Hair Dryer Earn $34,000? Deciphering the Reflexivity Paradox in Prediction Markets

An individual manipulated a weather sensor at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport with a portable heat source, causing a Polymarket weather market to settle at 22°C and earning $34,000. This incident highlights a fundamental issue in prediction markets: when a market aims to reflect reality, it also incentivizes participants to influence that reality. Prediction markets operate on two layers: platform rules (what outcome counts as a win) and data sources (what actually happened). While most focus on rules, the real vulnerability lies in the data source. If reality is recorded through a specific source, influencing that source directly affects market settlement. The article categorizes markets by their vulnerability: 1. **Single-point physical data sources** (e.g., weather stations): Easily manipulated through physical interference. 2. **Insider information markets** (e.g., MrBeast video details): Insiders like team members use non-public information to trade. Kalshi fined a剪辑师 $20,000 for insider trading. 3. **Actor-manipulated markets** (e.g., Andrew Tate’s tweet counts): The subject of the market can control the outcome. Evidence suggests Tate’sociated accounts coordinated to profit. 4. **Individual-action markets** (e.g., WNBA disruptions): A single person can execute an event to profit from their pre-placed bets. Kalshi and Polymarket handle these issues differently. Kalshi enforces strict KYC, publicly penalizes insider trading, and reports to regulators. Polymarket, with its anonymous wallet-based system, has historically been more permissive, arguing that insider information improves market accuracy. However, it cooperated with authorities in the "Van Dyke case," where a user traded on classified government information. The core paradox is reflexivity: prediction markets are designed to discover truth, but their financial incentives can distort reality. The more valuable a prediction becomes, the more likely participants are to influence the event itself. The market ceases to be a mirror of reality and instead shapes it.

First Day Review of "Musk's WeChat" XChat: Even Worse Than Expected

Elon Musk's much-anticipated "WeChat-like" app, XChat, has officially launched after multiple delays. The initial review reveals a product that falls short of expectations, offering an experience largely similar to X Platform's (formerly Twitter) direct messages, despite being marketed as an encrypted communication tool. Key observations from the first-day test include: 1. The app's promoted "end-to-end encryption" and its claimed relation to Bitcoin's architecture were criticized by experts as a superficial attempt to capitalize on crypto buzz, with no real technical connection. 2. Musk's vision of an ad-free "secure communication system" is technically met, but only because the app is currently extremely basic, featuring only a single chat interface. 3. A promised anti-screenshot feature appears inconsistent; it works in X Platform group chats but fails within the XChat app itself, where screenshots still capture avatars. 4. The app supports 45 languages and has a 16+ age rating, indicating a broader tolerance for content compared to WeChat's 13+ rating. 5. A puzzling login process requires users to verify the email associated with their X account. 6. The touted encryption" feels minimal in practice, with its presence only indicated by a simple "Encrypted - Yes" label on messages. 7. Disappearing message timers for groups can be set from 5 minutes to 4 weeks, with the timer starting upon being read by a user. 8. Group invite links are shared with X Platform groups. 9. Group size limits are planned to be increased, aiming for 1000 members, a move that has drawn user criticism. 10. The app offers 8 different colored icons, and its chat bubbles are notably similar to WeChat's. Message deletion options mimic Telegram's. Crucially, many pre-announced features like importing X contacts, integrating Grok AI, X Money payments, and Cashtags are not yet available. The initial release is seen as a bare-bones and underwhelming first step.
