MakerDAO诉讼的关键专利被收购,结束了加密技术纠纷

币界网报道:

DeFi教育基金(DEF)周一与True Return Systems(TRS)达成协议,购买类似甲骨文技术的专利。这项有争议的专利是针对MakerDAO和Compound这两个去中心化金融协议的两起法律诉讼的核心。

预言机是将区块链连接到外部系统(如数字资产价格馈送)的实体,是DeFi中的关键工具。此次收购结束了与该公司的斗争,DEF曾将其描述为“专利流氓”

根据DEF的说法,TRS在2022年起诉MakerDAO和Compound使用类似甲骨文的技术,声称拥有“一种将计算机化账本的存储和处理分离以改善功能的方法和系统”的所有权。但该倡导组织以及这两项协议的律师对这些指控表示异议,认为专利诉讼有些过头。

DEF首席法律顾问Amanda Tuminelli周一对Decrypt表示:“Oracle技术对DeFi领域非常重要,所以……我们看到了一个潜在的问题,可能会导致开发人员或用户的权利受到侵犯。”。

国防部拒绝透露和解金额,理由是谈判的“保密”性质。

法庭文件显示,TRS的诉讼试图禁止这些协议“制造、使用或销售”基于类似甲骨文技术的产品。但事实并非如此。TRS周一提出终止对这些协议的诉讼。该决定是在该公司同意将其专利出售给DEF后不久做出的。

Tuminelli告诉Decrypt,此次专利购买不仅保证了MakerDAO和Compound可以继续使用类似oracle的技术来为其链上价格馈送提供动力,还确保了其他协议可以将该技术用于许多其他应用程序。

图米内利说:“任何使用类似甲骨文技术的协议……都可能是下一个。”。“现在,这项专利不能用来对付任何人。”

DEF表示,计划将该专利奉献给公众,这意味着每一项协议都将拥有使用其知识产权申请中提到的类似甲骨文的技术的合法权利。

DEF多年来一直在与这项专利作斗争,于2023年底向美国专利商标局提交了一份请愿书,要求废除TRS的专利,试图废除针对MakerDAO和Compound的诉讼依据。

DEF去年9月在推特上发帖称:“ICYMI,我们向美国专利商标局申请取消一项专利,该专利被一名‘专利流氓’用来起诉DAO和‘协议’。”。然而,它最终决定购买该专利,从而更快地结束了这件事。

图米内利说:“我们认为解决所有问题的最有效方法——我们的请愿书和这两起诉讼——就是解决这个案件。”。

Ethlabs Founded, Treasury Companies to Fund Ethereum Post-EF

Former Ethereum Foundation (EF) core researchers Ansgar Dietrichs, Barnabé Monnot, Caspar Schwarz-Schilling, Josh Rudolf, and Julian Ma announced the launch of Ethlabs, an independent non-profit R&D lab focused on Ethereum core protocol research and institutional-grade infrastructure. The initiative, backed by over 50 community participants including ETH treasury companies BitMine and Sharplink, Joseph Lubin, Hayden Adams, and Jesse Pollak, aims to make Ethereum the global economic settlement layer. This move comes amidst significant pressure on the EF, which has seen key departures and a strategic narrowing of its focus. A critical funding gap of approximately $30 million annually for core client development, following the expiration of the client incentive program, poses a near-term risk to the network's development. The context includes the evolution of ETH's value narrative. While mechanisms like EIP-1559 and the Merge previously supported the "ultrasound money" thesis, the success of L2 scaling via EIP-4844 has drastically reduced L1 fee revenue, leading to net ETH issuance and challenging that narrative. Ethlabs has listed ETH monetary economics as a primary research focus. Backing from corporate ETH treasuries like BitMine and Sharplink represents a strategic alignment, as these entities' asset values are directly tied to Ethereum's health and adoption. Their support is an investment rather than a pure donation. Ethereum's governance is shifting from a centralized EF model to a distributed network of specialized "manager nodes," including Ethlabs and a streamlined EF. While this promotes efficiency and reduces single-point failure risk, it introduces new challenges in coordination, priority alignment, and filling critical funding gaps across the decentralized ecosystem.

From Logo to Bo Niu: TRON Further Perfects Its Brand Visual Assets

On June 23rd, TRON completed a significant upgrade to its official mascot, Bo Niu. The revamped character features larger, brighter eyes, more expressive facial details, and a clearer "T" structural motif, while retaining its signature red-and-white color scheme and horned design. This refresh aims to enhance Bo Niu's approachability, emotional range, and versatility for use across social media, community interactions, offline events, and branded merchandise. The redesign focuses on creating a stronger first impression. A more open facial structure with distinct, expressive eyes and the addition of a mouth with a small fang make the character friendlier and more suitable for dynamic content like animations and emojis. Subtle brand elements are integrated, such as stylized cheek lines inspired by "signal" icons, referencing the "wave" in "TRON," and a "T" shape formed by its smile and chest markings. Bo Niu has also been given a more defined personality as "TRON's Chief Luck Officer," with traits like being playful and sweet. This persona provides a more accessible and emotionally resonant entry point to the TRON brand, contrasting with often technical Web3 narratives. This mascot upgrade is part of TRON's ongoing effort to build a comprehensive and extensible visual identity system, following its recent logo refresh. Bo Niu is positioned as a key asset to connect with users, foster community, and convey brand warmth in everyday contexts.
