《优秀的壳资源链Solana》

0xSorosPublished on 2024-08-09Last updated on 2024-08-09

FTX崩溃后,Solana的TVL骤减67%,遭受重创。墙倒众人推。“Sam Coin、Sam Chain”完蛋了是许多人的直觉。不过Messari最近的一篇报告表明Solana的情况没有外界想象的糟糕。即便是在Sam失势后,Solana仍然具有重要的壳资源价值。脱离Sam的Solana反倒给了自己一次凤凰涅槃的机会。

从协议层面的进展,有由Jump推出的Firedancer轻客户端。公链的轻客户端越多,网络宕机的整体性风险也就越小。包括最近A16Z自己开发的以太坊轻客户端Helios是同样的道理。

也有Jito-solana这样结合流动性质押和MEV价值索取的应用。MEV Bot在每条公链成为标配。而以太坊上的FlashBot近期也公布了计划,有计划成为一条MEV Chain。类似于Dydx从以太坊生态的应用迁移到Cosmos做独立链。

说到DyDx去Cosmos上做应用链,我会觉得诸如此类的迁移更多是“叙事先行”。打铁还需自身硬。本质上还是得看自己能否被市场接受。一个本来能力就不行的项目,迁移到哪条链都是无济于事。当然不否认公链自身的用户属性和时机对项目崛起的重要性。像Axie就经历了EOS到ETH漫长的跨越周期的迁移探索。以及GMX从BSC迁移至Arbitrum后成为Arb最核心的项目。

无论是整体链,还是应用链。无论是L1还是L2。ZK也好,Optimistic也好。以及以上的所有排列组合。一切都是技术革新上的探索 哲学层面的探讨。最终还要落实到创新性项目诞生并且被市场接受。实际上每一条链,每一条L2,每一条Rollup能诞生一个爆款应用并且围绕它产生生态,已是成功。这也符合马太聚集效应的理论。A16Z的基础堆栈和应用迭代理论是神作。

像其他优化节点和数据效率的一些进展,QUIC/QOS/Local Fee Market等等因过于技术不赘述。

作为PoS网络,去中心化的问题逃不过。尽管有2000多个节点,130多个数据中心,35个区域,网络仍然集中在少数节点/数据中心/区域中。PoS网络都逃不过这个问题,以太坊几万个节点也无可避免。追溯到五年前,十年前,PoW网络也是集中的。既然世界上的财富本就是集中的,我倒是更愿意接受PoW转PoS是为了减少环境污染的说辞。

Solana上的所有游戏,典型像Aurory/Star Atalas等等,在21/22年曾经轰轰烈烈,至今未上线主网,大概率是难产了。Eclipse and Nitro是两个有趣的项目,他们在尝试把Solana的虚拟机SVM迁移到Celestia和Cosmos这类的Rollup链上。Solana曾经让大家一度相信是一条专注于专业Trading的链,因此在订单本Dex/专业衍生品领域会有大突破。Drift,/Zeta Markets/Friktion/PsyOptions这些衍生品项目,也都是不温不火。在Serum崩溃之后,出现了几个社区主导的Sreum Fork项目OpenBook,/Ellipsis Labs/Lifinit等。这未尝不是一件坏事。也许Solana真的是一条有专业交易优势的链,只是前期过多的被Sam主导导致没有发挥出其优势。

数据显示Solana上的开发者贡献数量在SOL代币价格下跌95%的情况下仍然呈现年2.5倍的增长。对这个数据略持怀疑。如今Solana上的初始投资机构Multicoin等早就赚的盆满钵满,渐渐会退出Solana的主导和控制。道理也不难明白,套现走人了而已。同样的,未必是坏事。Sam的崩溃和机构的有序撤退,让Solana变得纯粹。在有优秀壳资源的前提之下,有社区化的可能性。至于下轮周期是否能突破前十,还是下一个EOS,就看运气吧。

Behind the AI Scorecards Lies a Chinese 'Question Setter'

Behind the AI scorecards that dominate industry discussions—benchmarks like MMLU-Pro, MMMU, and MMMU-Pro—stands a Chinese-Canadian researcher: Wenhu Chen. As an assistant professor at the University of Waterloo and founder of the TIGER Lab, Chen has become a key "exam-setter" for evaluating large language and multimodal models. Chen first gained broader recognition with MMLU-Pro, a more challenging and stable update to the popular MMLU benchmark. As top models like OpenAI’s o3 began achieving near-perfect scores on the original MMLU, it became difficult to distinguish their true capabilities. MMLU-Pro introduced more complex reasoning questions, expanded answer choices, and filtered out ambiguous or simple items, effectively reintroducing differentiation among state-of-the-art models. His work on MMMU addressed the evaluation of multimodal models, requiring them to integrate visual information (like charts, diagrams, or tables) with textual knowledge across diverse academic subjects. Even the strongest models initially scored only around 56-59%, highlighting significant room for improvement in genuine multimodal reasoning. MMMU-Pro further refined this by preventing models from bypassing visual cues. Chen’s research focus has long been on complex information understanding and reasoning. His background—including a PhD at UC Santa Barbara, research at Google/DeepMind on Gemini, and now a role in Meta’s superintelligence lab—provides deep insight into model development and their potential weaknesses. His TIGER Lab also builds models (e.g., for video understanding and generation), ensuring his evaluation benchmarks are grounded in practical challenges. While AI headlines often spotlight company leaders and product launches, Chen’s work exemplifies the critical, behind-the-scenes contributions of researchers crafting the rigorous standards that define and drive progress in AI capabilities.

STRC Unpegged by 11%, Can Strategy's Perpetual Motion Machine Keep Turning?

STRC, the perpetual preferred stock of MicroStrategy, is experiencing a persistent de-pegging from its target par value of $100, with the discount recently widening to over 11%. This de-anchoring challenges the core design of STRC, which was intended as a stable, income-oriented security operating near $100. As a crucial funding engine for MicroStrategy's Bitcoin acquisition strategy, STRC's price reflects market confidence in the company's entire capital model. The company's "capital flywheel" relies on issuing STRC at or above $100 via an At-the-Market (ATM) program to raise cash for buying Bitcoin, thereby boosting company equity and theoretically supporting STRC's value. A monthly adjustable dividend mechanism was designed to maintain this peg. Despite raising the dividend to 11.5% and increasing payment frequency, the de-pegging persists. Market concerns extend beyond technical factors like leveraged arbitrage unwinding. Analysts point to MicroStrategy's limited cash reserves relative to its ~$1.7 billion annual dividend obligation for preferred shares. While the company counters that its vast Bitcoin holdings could cover decades of payments, this argument hinges on the potential need to sell Bitcoin—a shift from its longstanding "hodl" narrative. The company's recent sale of a small amount of BTC, framed as a test, amplified these liquidity and strategy concerns. If STRC remains discounted, impairing MicroStrategy's ability to raise cheap capital, fears may grow that the company could sell more Bitcoin to meet obligations. This scenario could transform MicroStrategy from a major market buyer into a potential seller, posing significant downside risk for Bitcoin. The re-pegging of STRC is thus a key indicator for the health of MicroStrategy's capital structure and its market impact.

Silicon Valley's Most Sought-After New Role Has Emerged

Silicon Valley's New Most Wanted Job: The Rise of the Forward Deployment Engineer The AI industry is witnessing a significant shift. The focus has moved from developing cutting-edge models to deploying them effectively within enterprises. This has made the "Forward Deployment Engineer" (FDE) a critical and highly sought-after role at major firms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. For the past three years, the industry prioritized model scientists. However, companies are now facing a harsh reality: purchasing powerful AI tools does not guarantee productivity gains or organizational change. The biggest hurdle is not the technology itself, but integrating it into complex legacy systems, workflows, and corporate cultures. This includes challenges like data silos, compliance requirements, and internal resistance. The FDE role, pioneered by Palantir Technologies, addresses this "last-mile" problem. FDEs are deployed on-site with clients for extended periods. Their job is to deeply understand the client's specific organizational structure, processes, and pain points, then tailor and implement the AI solution accordingly. They combine skills in technology, project management, and organizational change. A clear signal of this trend emerged in May 2026 when three AI giants made major moves. Anthropic launched a $1.5B joint venture for enterprise deployment. OpenAI formed an independent deployment subsidiary, DeployCo, with over $4B in commitments and acquired a deployment consultancy. Google Cloud's CEO publicly announced a large-scale recruitment drive for FDEs. This shift represents a fundamental change in the software business model: from selling tools to selling guaranteed outcomes. FDEs are the agents of this change, responsible for delivering a working system within the production environment, not just a demo. Real-world cases, such as challenges at Goldman Sachs (compliance barriers) and Target (internal cultural resistance), illustrate that the primary obstacles to AI adoption are organizational, not technical. An FDE's value lies in navigating these human and procedural complexities to facilitate a successful "AI migration." In essence, as core AI technology becomes more accessible and affordable, the true premium is shifting to the human expertise required to understand organizations and drive change—making the FDE role pivotal for the next phase of the AI revolution.

When the World Cup Collides with Agents: From Web2 to Web3, How Are Wallets Evolving into Agentic Wallets?

World Cup as a Catalyst for Agentic Wallets: From Web2 to Web3 This article explores how the World Cup provides a real-world scenario for observing the evolution of digital wallets from simple asset managers towards "Agentic Wallets"—intelligent, AI-powered interfaces. Using the example of prediction markets like Polymarket, it illustrates how AI Agents can lower the barrier to Web3 interaction. Instead of navigating complex DApps, users can express intent in natural language (e.g., "I think Portugal will win") within platforms like Discord or web pages. The Agent then interprets this intent, finds the relevant market, and seamlessly guides the user through the on-chain transaction via their wallet. The core shift is from wallets as mere "function menus" for signing transactions to "intent interpreters" that understand user goals. The article highlights parallel developments in traditional finance, such as Mastercard's "Agent Pay" and WeChat Pay's AI tests, which focus on granting AI controlled, authorized, and auditable payment capabilities. This underscores a broader trend of AI entering the financial layer. However, the article emphasizes that the primary challenge for Agentic Wallets in Web3 is not automation but establishing clear security boundaries. Unlike traditional systems with chargebacks, on-chain transactions are often irreversible. Therefore, future wallets must ensure users retain ultimate control and comprehension. They need to transparently communicate an Agent's permissions, spending limits, authorized durations, and provide easy ways to pause or revoke access. The World Cup experiments represent early steps toward wallets that are not just applications but ubiquitous, intelligent interfaces that simplify Web3 while keeping users securely in control.

Options Don't Work in DeFi? Vitalik Might Not Agree

For years, the prevailing view has been that options struggle to gain traction in DeFi due to complexity, fragmented liquidity, and lack of natural demand compared to products like perpetual futures. However, a recent algorithmic stablecoin design proposed by Vitalik Buterin presents a different perspective, using options not as a standalone trading product, but as foundational infrastructure for other financial instruments. In this design, one unit of ETH is split into two components: a "stable" side (P) that retains value up to a specified strike price, and an "upside" side (N) that captures all appreciation above that strike. Combined, they always equal one ETH, eliminating debt, margin, and liquidation risks inherent in typical collateralized debt position (CDP) stablecoins. The stable component essentially mimics the payoff of a covered call option. To function as a stablecoin, this structure requires continuously rolling deep in-the-money calls, which introduces challenges like rollover slippage, predictable transaction flow vulnerable to front-running, and persistent liquidity needs. A core hurdle is finding consistent buyers for the leveraged ETH upside exposure (N). While it offers leverage without funding rates or liquidation, it must compete with simpler alternatives like direct call options or perpetuals. The system's scalability depends on a sustained demand for this specific form of leverage. The author draws parallels to their experience with Rysk, where earlier versions of DeFi options protocols struggled. The breakthrough came with Rysk V12, which aligns incentives: asset holders generate yield by selling covered calls against their holdings, while market makers efficiently acquire the desired option exposure. This demonstrates that options can find product-market fit when embedded as a risk distribution and pricing engine within structured products, stablecoins, or yield-generating assets, rather than marketed as a complex direct trading instrument. Vitalik's proposal reinforces this architectural approach—using fully collateralized, non-custodial, and physically settled options as a fundamental building block. The real opportunity for options in DeFi may lie not in becoming the next perpetual swap, but in powering the next generation of on-chain financial products.
