1MEV的未来

区块链技术的进步是由对更高吞吐量、更低延迟和更高效交易处理的需求驱动的。如Monad这样的高吞吐量公链的出现代表了区块链技术的重大飞跃,Monad的目标是每秒交付10,000笔交易,并在1秒内完成区块确认。然而,区块链在大力优化性能的同时,也面临着诸如矿工可提取价值(MEV)效率低下、gas费高昂以及中心化风险等问题。

2、我们为什么投资aPriori

aPriori的使命是通过开发为其网络量身定制的高性能基础设施来解决Monad上的MEV领域的基本挑战。下面聊一聊我们对aPriori感兴趣的原因:

1)创新的MEV基础设施

aPriori正在构建一个可靠的MEV基础设施,使Monad验证者能够从区块建设者(builder)外部网络中获取区块,从MEV相关活动中受益。aPriori受到Flashbots和Jito Labs等公司启发,进行了核心架构更新,以适应Monad的独特设计。aPriori的解决方案涉及到部分区块拍卖,允许从搜寻者(searcher)提交的交易包构建区块头,而验证者则从公共内存池中追加剩余交易。这大大降低了延迟,并消除了模拟完整区块提案的需要。

2)用户体验增强

通过向MEV市场引入结构体系,aPriori有助于Monad网络的去中心化,并通过降低用户的gas费、推动对验证者的可持续激励、最小化验证者和节点流量来改善整体用户体验。

3)战略性流动性质押解决方案

aPriori的流动性质押产品为投资者提供了更大的灵活性和实用性,允许用户在获取MEV和质押奖励的同时保持其所持资产的流动性。aPriori利用他们的MEV基础设施,围绕他们的流动性质押解决方案创建了一个技术护城河。他们在Monad生态系统中与主要oracle供应商的紧密关系使他们能够快速创建oracle price feed,这是推动DeFi采用的重要组成部分。这一战略定位使aPriori能够解决其他流动性质押协议所面临的重大挑战。

4)卓越的团队

 aPriori的主要优势来自于其由具有丰富区块链和高频交易经验的业内资深人士组成的卓越团队。执行团队核心人员有:

首席执行官Ray:Ray曾在Jump Crypto主导特殊项目,也曾在Flow Traders曾任高频交易员。Ray作为Pyth Network的贡献者,带来了丰富的中间件开发经验,在Pyth Network,他曾帮助协议扩展到30个链,服务150多个dApp。

首席技术官Olivia:Olivia 曾是Coinbase的高级软件工程师,她设计并构建了内部分布式跟踪管道,可每秒处理100万条跟踪流量。她带来了基础设施和高度可用性系统方面的专业知识。

我们很高兴能够领投aPriori的800万美元种子轮融资,他们将继续在Monad上构建MEV和流动性质押必不可少的基础设施。

A Hard-Fought Battle to Defend Par Value: STRC Drifts Further Away from $100

STRC, the dividend-paying stock issued by Michael Saylor's bitcoin reserve firm Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), is trading far below its intended $100 par value, closing recently at $80.84. With a key dividend snapshot date approaching, Saylor aims to pull the price back to $100, as per SEC filings stating the company's goal to stabilize the stock near that level. The situation is complicated by the June volume-weighted average price (VWAP) falling below $95, triggering an internal rule that mandates the next dividend increase to be at least double the standard 0.25% per cycle, potentially pushing the annualized dividend yield to 12%. However, attracting buyers with this higher yield faces challenges: the payout is spread over 24 bi-monthly installments, the board can alter or suspend dividends at any time, and there is no guarantee against further price declines. Beyond raising dividends, Strategy has limited tools to boost the stock. These include direct share buybacks (never utilized), halting new share issuances above $100 (which currently cap the price), selling ordinary MSTR shares to build a cash buffer for dividends (with limited effect so far), or announcing special shareholder benefits. Historically, STRC has reclaimed the $100 mark, such as in October last year, driven by a combination of dividend fulfillment, a rate hike, and a pause in share sales. The core question remains how much cost and effort Strategy is willing to bear to attract the necessary buying pressure to restore the $100 par value.

Fable 5 is about to make a comeback, code exposed? Anthropic CEO kicked out of the White House

Fable 5, a previously restricted AI model from Anthropic, appears poised for a comeback. Evidence from leaked code in the Claude Code v2.1.190 version suggests a shift in its business model from a separate purchase to a potentially limited weekly usage allowance within standard Claude subscriptions. Furthermore, the model has reportedly reappeared in Amazon Bedrock documentation. This potential revival coincides with significant internal changes at Anthropic. According to a report by The Wired, CEO Dario Amodei was reportedly sidelined from negotiations with the Trump administration over Fable 5's export restrictions. Government officials found him difficult to communicate with. Co-founder Tom Brown and policy head Sarah Heck took over discussions, leading to more productive technical talks aimed at addressing White House security concerns about the model being "jailbroken." External pressure is mounting as a bipartisan group of US lawmakers has demanded answers from the Commerce Department by a June 26 deadline regarding the criteria and timeline for potentially reinstating public access to Fable 5. The potential return of Fable 5 comes as competitors OpenAI and Google have reportedly delayed their own major model releases. If Anthropic successfully navigates the government's security review, Fable 5 could gain a significant "safety-certified" advantage in the enterprise market. The countdown to the June 26 deadline is now underway.
