《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。

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.

Conversation with Investor Zheng Di: MicroStrategy's Coin Sale Experiment, AI Economy, and Opportunities in US Stocks

Frontier tech investor Zheng "Didier" Di discusses the recent Bitcoin price drop, the financial strategy shift at MicroStrategy, the AI-driven surge in U.S. stocks, and the evolving role of crypto exchanges. Didier posits that the recent BTC decline stems less from macro factors or ETF outflows, and more from market repricing due to MicroStrategy's new financial structure. Following a wave of preferred stock and debt issuance (STRC, STRZ, etc.), MicroStrategy must now manage cash flow to pay dividends, potentially leading to a market expectation of sustained, small-scale BTC sales to maintain its "per-share bitcoin neutral" principle. Didier views this as a financial "experiment" testing market capacity for such recurring sell pressure, which, while creating near-term structural headwinds, likely avoids a true "death spiral" absent major new external shocks. Shifting to AI, Didier argues that tokens are becoming the new form of labor, with AI models and compute (tokenized inputs) increasingly replacing human roles in execution and middle-management. This drives enterprise efficiency and higher margins, fueling the sustained rally in U.S. semiconductor, data center, and infrastructure stocks. He foresees an emerging "machine economy" where automated agents transact and collaborate on-chain. Regarding crypto exchanges offering U.S. equities, Didier sees this as a natural evolution. With few crypto-native assets generating lasting value, exchanges are pivoting towards real-world assets (RWAs) like stocks and bonds. This doesn't necessarily cannibalize crypto but reflects a maturing industry focusing on blockchain's core utilities: decentralized choice and efficient settlement. He notes that trading logic for crypto natives doesn't need to drastically change, as meme-driven and fundamentalist strategies find analogs in U.S. markets. The "1011 event" (likely referring to a major market crash) severely damaged crypto market liquidity, marking a probable end to the altcoin speculative cycle, with capital flowing towards the deeper liquidity of U.S. markets. For the macro outlook, Didier is cautious about near-term market pressure from potential mega-IPOs (e.g., SpaceX) and the U.S. midterm elections, which could bring more regulatory scrutiny. Long-term, he remains bullish on AI's productivity gains and its convergence with blockchain/Web3, predicting a shift from speculative frenzy to a more institutionalized, industrial phase for the crypto sector.

STRC Hits Historic Low, Saylor's Perpetual Motion Machine Grinds to a Halt

STRC, the perpetual preferred stock issued by MicroStrategy to fund its Bitcoin purchases, hit a historic low of $85.32, a 17% discount to its $100 par value. Designed as a "digital credit engine" to trade stably near par and enable continuous share issuance for buying Bitcoin, its plunge signals a breakdown in this model. Three key factors drove the decline: 1. Bitcoin's price fell over 50% from its peak, trading around $63,000 amid hawkish Fed signals. 2. MicroStrategy's cash reserves were depleted after a $1.5 billion convertible note repayment, slashing the dividend coverage for STRC's 11.5% yield to ~7 months. The company then sold 32 BTC to cover dividends—Michael Saylor's first Bitcoin sale since 2022—damaging the "never sell" narrative. 3. A competing Bitcoin-backed preferred stock, Strive's SATA, offers a higher yield (~13%) and daily dividends, drawing investors away from STRC. The drop triggers a negative cycle: STRC below par halts ATM share issuances, cutting off a key funding source for Bitcoin buys and potentially forcing more BTC sales for dividends, further eroding confidence. While Saylor argues the model is mathematically sound—needing only 2.3% annual Bitcoin growth to sustain itself—the market is testing the resilience of the leveraged Bitcoin treasury strategy in a bear market. The STRC price now reflects rising skepticism about this financial machinery's durability during downturns.
