去年 9 月,Web3 公司 Startale Labs CEO Sota Watanabe 在其社交平台宣布,Startale Labs 与索尼成立合资公司 Sony Block Solutions Labs,共同开发索尼区块链 Sony Chain,Sota Watanabe 担任该合资公司主管。

在 BlockBeats 的采访中,Sota Watanabe 曾透露其与 Sony 子公司 Sony 网络通信、一直保持着紧密的合作关系,且 Startale Labs 的一位外部董事曾就职于该子公司,并从今年四月份开始直接在 Sony 总部带领 Sony Chain 项目。

今日,Sony Block Solutions Labs 正式公布了 Sony Chain——Soneium 的详细信息,该链将作为以太坊 L2 推出,将利用 Optimism Rollup 技术,使用 Optimism 区块链生态系统的 OP Stack 构建。Soneium 预计将在未来几天内在测试网络上线,随后将加入 Optimism 的超级链来扩展生态系统。

官方介绍,Soneium 的合伙人包括 Astar Network、Optimism、Chainlink、Alchemy、Circle、Circle。

拥抱 OP Stack

Sota Watanabe 另一身份是 Astar Network 的创始人,后者是是波卡生态首批上线的平行链之一,于去年 9 月正式宣布与 Polygon Labs 合作创建 Astar zkEVM,采用 Polygon 链开发套件 (CDK) 的第 2 层协议进行开发,主网已于今年上线。

这里对 Astar Network、Sony Chain 和 Startale Labs 之间的关系做个简单的解释,总的来说,这三个产品或者公司都与 Sota 有关联。Sota 是 Startale Labs 和 Astar Network 的创始人。Startale Labs 继承了 Sota 在 Astar Network 运营里获得的技术和知识基础。Startale Labs 也与 Sony 有合作,从 Sony 那里获得了资金,与 Sony 建立了合资企业,并在 Sony Chain 项目上紧密合作。

Astar Network 在 ZK 方面取得的进展一度成为市场关注的焦点,其中投资者 DFG 曾向 BlockBeats 表示很看重 Astar Network 作为即将在 Polkadot 上推出的两个以太坊虚拟机(EVM)链之一的能力,非常欣赏 Polkadot 架构和 EVM 兼容的特点,以及 Sota 个人与团队的能力。

作为 Astar Network 的创始人,Sota Watanabe 自 2019 年以来一直参与公共区块链的开发。然而,随着 Polkadot 的淡出,Astar Network 也渐渐在国内市场中失去了注意力。如今 Soneium 正式发布,Astar 也宣布将 Astar Layer 2 和社区过渡到 Soneium。

这一举措旨在将 Astar Network 与 Soneium 更紧密地整合,利用两个生态系统的优势来推动 Soneium 愿景的实现。具体体现在:

· 增强 ASTR 的实用性:将 ASTR 作为关键资产集成到 Soneium L2 生态系统中。保持其在生态系统项目中的作用,扩大效用。

· 利用 Soneium 生态系统:将 Soneium L2 置于创新应用程序的核心,推动采用和参与。

· 社区赋权:为现有用户创造更多机会作为新项目和 dApp 的早期采用者。让社区成为 Soneium L2 内新兴举措的主要参与者。

· 未来展望:在不断扩大的 Soneium 生态系统中定位 ASTR 的潜在优势。为 Astar Evolution 第二阶段做好准备,让未来的机会更加清晰。

「GM with Soneium」

索尼在 Web3 行业的探索多面向元宇宙和 NFT 领域,但 Sota Watanabe 曾表示,Sony Chain 不仅仅只关注游戏或 NFT,而是会服务于所有领域,成为一个通用的区块链。

Soneium 将建立在现有以太坊基础设施之上,负责数据处理,以解决通常与 L1 解决方案相关的处理速度慢和费用高的问题。Soneium Op Stack 和 Superchain 创建一个可扩展、EVM 兼容、开发人员友好的区块链。

作为以太坊 L2,Soneium 利用索尼集团在娱乐、金融、电子和游戏领域庞大的全球分销网络,以期弥合 Web3 创新与日常消费应用之间的差距,真正将区块链技术带入主流,即 Go Mainstream with Soneium(与 Soneium 一起走向主流)。Soneium 通过开发 Web3 底层基础设施区块链,或将提供从基础设施到应用层的全面 Web3 解决方案。

为此,Soneium 正在规划为一个综合开发生态系统,并支持先进的智能合约功能,其可扩展基础设施旨在处理大容量应用程序,确保项目可以不受限制地发展。此外,Soneium 将为开发者和创作者提供提供广泛的文档,并将配备一套开发和启动应用程序所需的第三方开发工具,使各种技能水平的开发人员都能轻松入门并推进他们的项目。

在「GM with Soneium」理念下,除了现有 Web3 服务的应用程序外,Sony Block Solutions Labs 还将考虑与索尼集团内的业务相关联的新服务,以创建可以激发从未使用过 Web3 服务的人们的兴趣的用例。

比如,支持创作者扩大创造力并加强他们与粉丝社区的互动。具体来说,Sony Block Solutions Labs 将研究创作者创作权的保护、支持创作者和粉丝的利润返还新机制以及创作者在数字世界和现实世界中活跃的机会。

在接受 BlockBeats 采访时,Sota Watanabe 表示 Astar 在某种程度上代表了日本,Astar 如果失败对日本的 Web3 会有很大影响。而能和大公司、监管层对话,也正是 Astar 的优势。在索尼与 Astar 合作下,Soneium 或将真正实现其通用的区块链平台的愿景。

Xing Bo Strikes Again: Last Time 'Critiquing' World Models, This Time It's Agents' Turn

Xing Bo, President of MBZUAI and professor at Carnegie Mellon University, along with co-authors Mingkai Deng and Jinyu Hou, has released a new paper, "Critique of Agent Model," critiquing the current state of artificial intelligence agents. The paper draws a crucial distinction between "agentic" systems, which rely on external toolchains, prompts, and workflows, and truly "agentive" systems capable of genuine autonomy driven by internal decision-making structures. To illustrate this, it references a real-world incident where an AI programming assistant, following an external prompt but lacking internalized judgment, caused a catastrophic data deletion. The authors propose a detailed analysis and a new framework, "Goal-Identity-Configurator" (GIC), for building truly autonomous agents. This framework systematically addresses five key dimensions where current "Agent" designs fall short: 1. **Goal:** Moving from step-by-step human instruction to a system capable of autonomously decomposing a single long-term goal and adapting sub-goals based on new information. 2. **Identity:** Evolving self-assessment updated by experience, rather than a static description in a system prompt. 3. **Decision Making:** Replacing textual Chain-of-Thought reasoning with "simulative reasoning" that uses a dedicated world model to predict real-world consequences before selecting actions. 4. **Cognitive Control:** Introducing a separate "System III" metacognitive module that dynamically decides when to deliberate, stick to a plan, or act quickly. 5. **Learning:** Enabling "continual autonomous learning," where the agent itself decides when to act, practice in simulation, or update its world model and self-perception. The GIC architecture integrates six components—a belief encoder, goal decomposer, identity evolver, configurator (System III), simulation-based planner (System II), and executor (System I)—to embody these principles. The paper argues that a growth path akin to pilot training (ground theory, simulator practice, real deployment) should be underpinned by a unified cognitive architecture, not separate workflows. On safety, the authors contend that the GIC framework's modular, explicit design enhances inspectability, allowing problematic behavior to be traced to specific components (e.g., flawed goal or poorly trained module) rather than emerging opaquely. However, they acknowledge that ultimate safety depends on correctly training these modules in the first place. In conclusion, the paper challenges the loose application of the term "Agent," asserting that task completion alone does not equal true autonomy. True autonomy requires goals, identity, and judgment to be genuinely internalized within the agent's architecture, not merely enforced by external scripts.

How Collector Crypt Uses 'Recirculating Buybacks' to Create an Illusion of Growth

Title: How Collector Crypt Creates a Growth Illusion with "Buyback Loops" Key Findings: Collector Crypt's (CC) net take rate has halved from 11.2% in Q3 2025 to 5.6% in Q2 2026, while GMV grew 4.7x. This growth is driven by higher-tier card packs ($250, $1,000, $2,500) which have lower platform dollar retention rates. The newly launched $2,500 Mythic tier captured 36.7% of June GMV within 13 days. Growth is fueled by a small cohort of high-spending, high-frequency wallets rather than broad user base expansion. The economic model faces pressure from three key areas: 1) **Shifting GMV Mix**: Pushing users towards larger, lower-retention card packs increases GMV but reduces overall profitability. 2) **Physical Redemptions**: Card redemptions for physical items remove reusable inventory from the system, creating costly replenishment needs. In May, redemptions consumed 41.6% of pre-redemption net income. Only 75 wallets drove redemptions in June. 3) **B2B/API Strategy**: Partner revenue remains negligible (cumulatively $1.83M) and dependent on CC for inventory, vaulting, and buyback services, failing to create a scalable, asset-light recurring revenue stream. The core product is a repetitive pack-buyback loop with limited secondary market activity and token value accrual. Sensitive modeling shows CC's economics turn negative when any two of the following pressures coincide: replenishment costs near market price, redemption rates exceeding 9%, or high-tier buyback rates around 93%. While CC operates in a large and growing collectibles market, its current growth levers—bigger packs, high buyback rates, and capital recycling by a few wallets—create a volume illusion without demonstrating sustainable collector engagement, deep secondary markets, or a viable path to improved margins. Future proof points include broadening collector participation, deepening secondary trading, and developing true asset-light B2B revenue channels.

Grayscale's Latest Research: What is Solana's Next Growth Engine?

Grayscale's latest report, "Solana: Crypto's Financial Bazaar," signals a shift in how the market views Solana, moving beyond its high-performance and meme-centric reputation. The report frames Solana as an evolving application platform for large-scale economic activity, akin to a bustling digital marketplace. The analysis highlights that public chain competition has moved past raw throughput (TPS) to focus on genuine economic activity—daily users, transaction volume, and real revenue. Solana's metrics, such as over 1,000 dApps, 100M+ daily transactions, and ~4.3M daily active users, showcase this shift toward application-layer prosperity. The report identifies three key growth drivers: 1. **Jupiter**: Evolving from a DEX aggregator to a core liquidity hub and comprehensive financial platform for Solana's DeFi. 2. **Pump.fun**: Demonstrates Solana's capacity for consumer-scale applications, attracting millions of users and generating significant, sustainable revenue, validating network stability under high load. 3. **Helium & DePIN**: Represents expansion into real-world infrastructure, connecting blockchain to physical resources like wireless networks and positioning services, opening new long-term use cases. Solana Foundation's recent focus aligns with this broader vision, emphasizing AI Agents (for machine-to-machine transactions), payments, stablecoins, and Real-World Assets (RWA) to build a sustainable growth model beyond cyclical trends. While challenges remain—such as value capture for SOL and maintaining ecosystem sustainability beyond hot trends—institutional interest is growing due to Solana's maturing application business models, expanding payment/stablecoin ecosystem, and persistent developer activity. The competition is no longer about speed alone, but about which network can foster the most vibrant and valuable digital economy.
