这篇文章的深度堪比《人类简史》,而且恰逢以太坊最需要这样洞见的时刻。

为什么这么说呢?

正如尤瓦尔·赫拉利在《人类简史》中所解释的,人类通过共享的观念进行协调,这使我们与其他物种区别开来。虽然大多数人能够维持约120个亲密关系,但我们通过围绕抽象且超凡的理念进行组织,突破了这个限制:宗教、公司、国家。

群体越大,这些观念就越重要。它们能够使人们保持一致,朝同一个方向前进,并吸引新的参与者。

区块链同样如此。

区块链需要一个“为什么”——一个宏大、清晰的理念,以激励建设者和用户,推动协作努力,并促进增长。

以太坊的规模,就是它的规模。

1、以太坊的优势

到目前为止,以太坊之所以能够保持相对一致的方向,有几个原因:

1)先发优势:长期以来,以太坊是唯一的智能合约平台。

2)较小的生态系统:正如@parithosh_j在最近的播客中指出的:在2018年,当时只有不到10个团队在积极开发以太坊,开发速度更快、进展更顺利。

3)短期目标:以太坊有一些较小的指引目标,像是合并(Merge),这些目标让社区团结在一起。

但今天,以太坊已经成为一个价值4500亿美元的资产,生态系统膨胀至数百个团队,每个团队都有自己的激励机制。如果没有一个统一的理念,这些团队不可避免地会朝着不同的方向发展,优先考虑不同的升级,从而导致社会层面和技术层面的碎片化。

这不仅减缓了创新,也削弱了以太坊吸引用户和保持影响力的能力。成为“世界计算机”,以太坊的初心还在吗?

2、以Rollup为中心的困境

自从转向以Rollup为中心的路线图后,以太坊发现自己处于一个奇怪的中间地带:积极的一面:这种转变吸引了大量开发者进入生态系统,在Rollup上构建应用或开发Rollup本身。有理由认为,如果不是以太坊转向以Rollup为中心的路线,这些团队可能会考虑创建一个独立的L1,这将导致以太坊的影响力碎片化。消极的一面:Rollup将MEV和收益从以太坊的基础层中抽走。从长远来看,价值将有三种方式流向基础层:

1)跨链MEV(跨应用、跨Rollup等),

2)热点拥堵费,

3)货币性。

在以Rollup为中心的路线图下,以太坊目前处于困境:

如果所有应用迁移到L2,热点拥堵费将消失。

跨链MEV目前流向外部桥接和共享流动性提供者,而不是以太坊。

货币性这一叙事是不可持续的——比特币已经主导了这一领域,并且现在吸引了机构和国家的关注。

3、“世界计算机”的论点

@jon_charb 一语中的:以太坊需要一个宏大的理念来凝聚共识,而“世界计算机”正是完美的指引目标。

与以Rollup为中心的路线不同,“世界计算机”将以太坊L1定位为既适合L1原生应用又适合Rollup的最佳平台。这个愿景并不将应用赶出L1,而是让L1成为同样具有吸引力的开发选择,从而吸引开发者并保持生态系统的凝聚力:

热点拥堵费:L1上的应用为以太坊保留了价值。

跨链MEV:由以太坊捕获,而不是外部桥接。

货币性:ETH作为核心资产,通过在应用和L2中作为Gas费使用而持续增值。

这种方法不仅确保价值流向以太坊的生态系统,还直接为ETHToken赋能。我们需要拥抱这一方向,并在每次升级和优先级决策中朝着将以太坊打造为“世界计算机”的目标迈进。这是一个统一的愿景,能够让以太坊加速创新、保持影响力,并在长期内巩固其地位。

是时候选择一个明确的方向了,是时候确保代表以太坊的符号永远是ETH了。

June Transaction Volume Doubles: x402 Ecosystem Continues to Expand, Content Monetization Narrative Faces Crucial Test

X402, a protocol for AI and data services, experienced significant growth in June. Its transaction volume doubled compared to May, primarily driven by the AI inference routing service BlockRun. The ecosystem expanded with new integrations: Apify enabled data scraping services, Exa extended its AI search to Solana, and Seal launched 'Hacks', a marketplace for automated AI agents. The protocol itself received crucial upgrades, including 'Builder Codes' for tracking and affiliate systems and 'Batch Settlement' to enable practical micropayments for high-frequency AI tasks. Major external validation came from tech giants. Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched a solution for AI traffic metering at its edge nodes. More significantly, Cloudflare opened its waitlist for a Content Monetization Gateway. This gateway allows websites to charge AI bots and other automated agents for accessing content, using x402 for stablecoin payments. This addresses a core internet monetization problem and represents x402's most promising path to mass adoption, though Cloudflare's CEO noted current blockchain scalability remains a critical hurdle. Current leading use cases are AI inference routing and paid data feeds. However, the large-scale real-world test with Cloudflare's gateway will be decisive in determining if x402 can transition from a useful tool to a fundamental infrastructure component for a new web economy where AI agents pay for the content they consume.

RWA Weekly: EU Proposes Revision of MiCA to Cover Tokenization and Non-EU Stablecoins; Swift and 17 Banks to Pilot Tokenized Cross-Border Payments

RWA Weekly: EU Proposes MiCA Revision for Tokenization and Non-EU Stablecoins; Swift to Pilot Tokenized Cross-Border Payments with 17 Banks During the statistical period of July 3-10, 2026, the RWA sector showed signs of recovery. The total on-chain market capitalization of RWAs rebounded to $33.12 billion, ending a prolonged decline. The stablecoin market cap also returned above $300 billion, with active addresses and holders increasing, indicating restored market vitality. Key regulatory developments include China promoting the use of digital yuan in consumption vouchers, the EU considering revisions to its MiCA framework to cover tokenization and non-EU stablecoins, and Kazakhstan authorizing stablecoin use for cross-border corporate and government payments. In Hong Kong, HSBC issued its first "digitally native" structured product. Major project updates feature Swift announcing readiness of its blockchain ledger for a 24/7 tokenized cross-border payment pilot involving 17 global banks. Ondo launched a perpetuals platform allowing tokenized stocks as collateral. Sony received conditional U.S. OCC approval to launch a stablecoin-focused trust bank in 2027. Tether plans to natively issue USDT on Bitcoin via the RGB protocol. Significant funding rounds saw Securitize planning to deploy over $400 million for acquisitions to expand its institutional tokenization business, while Tether invested $20 million in Brazil's Mercado Bitcoin to support its growth in on-chain financial services. Analysis highlights that stablecoins are evolving into global financial infrastructure with regional specializations and that institutions should consider international expansion to gain practical experience in the RWA tokenization space amidst evolving regulations.

The first to catch the wave of the Robinhood Chain hype is Arbitrum, up nearly 20%

"ARB, the native token of Arbitrum, surged nearly 20% recently, emerging as a top-performing L2 token. This rally is attributed to the launch of 'Robinhood Chain,' a Real-World Asset (RWA) Layer 2 built using Arbitrum's technology. The launch has brought renewed attention to the 'Arbitrum Expansion Plan' (AEP), a year-and-a-half-old program. AEP allows external projects to build their own chains using Arbitrum's Orbit technology. In return, these 'tenant' chains that do not settle on Arbitrum's main networks must share 10% of their net protocol revenue with the Arbitrum ecosystem—8% to the DAO treasury and 2% to the developer guild. While smaller chains like Degen Chain previously triggered AEP, Robinhood Chain is the first major, high-profile tenant, making the revenue-sharing model economically significant for the first time. Initial data from Robinhood Chain is impressive, with over 35 million transactions, 350,000 addresses, $2.5 billion in TVL, and over $1 billion in DEX volume shortly after launch. However, its current protocol revenue, at roughly $146,000 net, translates to only a minimal payout to Arbitrum DAO. The ARB price surge thus reflects the market's anticipation of future revenue as Robinhood's vast $324 billion platform assets potentially migrate on-chain. This 'landlord' model mirrors Optimism's approach with its OP Stack and Superchain. However, Optimism's model faces pressure as its largest tenant, Base, announced plans to depart, causing a significant drop in OP's price. Similarly, analysts question Robinhood Chain's long-term dependence on Arbitrum, noting its daily sequencer revenue already nears three times that of Arbitrum itself. There is speculation that, like Base, it may eventually seek independence, with ETH potentially being its primary economic token rather than ARB."
