a16z领投400万美元,Glider能否重塑DeFi理财新范式?

  • 复杂的链上活动,正在被简单化,技术基建已经成熟;
  • 凡是旧有的,都面临被重塑的历史机遇,新的机会已经出现;
  • Intent、TG/Onchain Bot、AI Agent,都要解决授权问题。

4 月 16 日,Glider 完成 a16z CSX (创业加速器)领投的 400 万美元融资,能在看起来简单,做起来复杂的链上投资领域卡位,得益于 Intent、LLM 等技术风口的眷顾,但是 DeFi 整体确实需要重新组合,以简化投资门槛。

DeFi 乐高时代不再,安全耦合的理财时代来临。

过往:Furucombo 出师未捷身先死

Glider 起步于 2023 年底 Anagram 的内部创业,当时的形态是 Onchain Bots,即组合不同的操作步骤,便于用户投资和使用。

但这不是新鲜业态,帮用户理财是长久的生意,TradFi 如此,DeFi Summer 也如此,目前 Glider 还处在内部研发阶段,仅从 PR 稿内容可以描绘其大致思路:

  1. 链接现有 DeFi 工具,包括各赛道龙头,以及新兴协议,以 API 接入方式搭建 B2B2C 的获客逻辑;
  2. 允许用户搭建投资策略,并支持分享,以便于跟投、复制交易或者集体投资以换取更高收益。

在 AI Agent、LLM 和意图以及链抽象的配合下,搭建出此类堆栈,从技术角度并不难,真正难的是流量运营和信任机制。

涉及到用户资金的流转总是敏感,这也是链上产品还未打倒 CEX 的最重要原因,大部分用户可以接受去中心化换资金安全,但是基本不接受去中心化增加安全风险。

2020 年,Furucombo 便获得 1kx 等机构投资,主打帮助用户减少面对 DeFi 策略时的慌乱,如果要强行类比,和今天的 GMGN 等 Meme Coin 工具最像,只不过 DeFi 时代是组合收益策略,GMGN 是发现高潜力、低价值 Meme。

但是,大多数人并未留存在 Furucombo,链上收益策略是个公开市场,散户在服务器和资金量上根本无法和巨鲸抗衡,即大部分收益机会无法被散户捕捉。

相较于收益的不可持续性,安全问题和策略优化反倒在其次,高回报时代没有稳健理财的任何空间。


现在:资管的平民时代

富人的 ETF,散户的 ETS。

ETF 工具不仅可在股市运行,币安等交易所 2021 年便有过试水,技术角度的资产代币化,最终催生出 RWA 范式。

更进一步,如何完成对 ETF 工具的链上化成为创业焦点,从 DeFillama 的 APY 计算和展示,再到 Exponential 的持续运行,都表明市场对其有需求。

Exponential 严格而言是一个策略销售和展示市场,海量专、精确算,人工和 AI 辅助策略决策,但是链上透明性导致没有人真正能藏着高效策略不被人模仿和改造,进而导致军备竞赛,最终卷到收益率拉平。

最后是新一轮大鱼吃小鱼的无聊游戏。

但始终未能标准化,发展成类似 Uniswap、Hyperliquid 或者 Polymarket 这样重新定义市场的项目。

最近一直在思考,Meme Supercycle 结束后,旧时代的 DeFi 形式很难复活,行业触顶是暂时性的还是永久的?

这关系到,Web3 究竟是互联网的下一步,还是 FinTech 2.0 版本,如果是前者,那么人类的信息流和资金流运作方式都会被重塑,如果是后者,那么 Stripe + 富途牛牛就是一切的终点。

从 Glider 的策略可以解耦出,链上收益即将转化为平民资管时代,如同指数基金和 401(k) 共同造就了美股的长牛,绝对的资金量和极大数量的散户,市场会对稳定收入有庞大的需求。

这就是下一个 DeFi 的意义,以太坊之外还有 Solana,公链仍旧要承担互联网 3.0 的革新,而 DeFi 才应该是 FinTech 2.0。

Glider 增加 AI 辅助,但是从 DeFi Pulse 的信息展示开始,到 Furucombo 的初次尝试,再到 Exponential 的稳定运行,5% 左右的稳定链上收益,依然会吸引 CEX 之外的基础人群。


未来:生息资产上链

币圈产品发展到如今,只有少数产品真正获得市场认可:

  • 交易所
  • 稳定币
  • DeFi
  • 公链

剩余任何产品类型,包括 NFT 和 Meme coin 都只是阶段性的资产发行模式,它们并没有持续性的自维持能力。

但是,RWA 从 2022 年开始扎根生长,尤其是 FTX/UST-Luna 崩溃后,如 AC 所言,大家并不真正在乎去中心化,而是更在乎收益和稳定。

即使没有特朗普政府主动拥抱比特币和区块链,RWA 的产品化和实用化都在加速,如果传统金融可以拥抱电子化和信息化,那就没道理放弃区块链化。

在本轮周期中,无论是复杂的资产类型和来源,还是目不暇接的链上 DeFi 策略,都在严重阻碍 CEX 用户向链上迁移,先不管 Mass Adaption 的真伪,至少庞大的交易所流动性可以被吸走:

  • Ethena 通过利益联盟的方式将费率收益转为链上收益;
  • Hyperliquid 将交易所永续合约通过 LP Token 方式泵吸至链上。

这两个案例,都证明流动性上链可行,RWA 证明资产上链亦可行,现在是行业奇景时刻,ETH 被大家认为没活,但是明明大家都在上链,某种意义上,胖协议不利于胖应用的发展,也许这也是公链回归基础设施,应用场景大放光芒的最后的黑夜,晨光熹微。

在以上产品之外,vfat Tools 作为开源 APY 计算工具已经运行数年以上,De.Fi、Beefy、RWA.xyz 都各有侧重,展示项目方 APY,收益工具的重心,随着时间变化,已经越来越集中在 YBS 等生息资产。

目前来看,该类工具增加对 AI 的信任度,就要面临责任划分,增强人工干预,就会降低用户使用体验,难办。

可能将信息流和资金流分离,打造 UGC 策略社区,让项目方内卷,让散户得利,可能是个比较好的出路。


结语

Glider 因为 a16z 获得市场关注,但是赛道长期的问题依然会存在,授权和风险问题,这里的授权不是指钱包和资金,而是 AI 有没有能力让人类满意,如果 AI 投资损失惨重,责任又如何划分?

这个世界,依然值得探索未知,Crypto 作为崩裂世界的公共空间,依然会生生不息。

Bitwise CIO: STRC Plunge is a Bottom Signal, Bull Market to Begin in Autumn

Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, explains the recent Bitcoin price drop below $60,000 and its connection to the steep decline in MicroStrategy's STRC (Strategy's Perpetual Preferred Stock). STRC, designed as a high-yield, stable-price instrument, fell from its $100 target to $75 due to market fears over MicroStrategy's ability to sustain its dividend amid Bitcoin's price weakness. Hougan clarifies that while MicroStrategy's overall financial position remains strong, with significant Bitcoin holdings and cash, the core market anxiety centered on the optional nature of the dividend payments. In response, MicroStrategy announced a new operational framework: it will sell some Bitcoin as needed to fund dividends, will no longer actively defend the $100 share price through dividend hikes, and may repurchase STRC on the open market. This shift marks a change in MicroStrategy's role from a consistent, one-way buyer of Bitcoin to a more dynamic participant that may both buy and sell. According to Hougan, the STRC volatility is a classic late-cycle event, signaling the painful but necessary process of flushing out excessive leverage from the market. He draws parallels to the unwinding of the GBTC premium in the previous cycle. He identifies key potential bottoming signals: MSTR trading at a discount to its net asset value (NAV), extreme readings on the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, and persistently negative Bitcoin funding rates. Hougan concludes that while the exact timing of the market bottom is unpredictable, the current deleveraging phase suggests it is near. He expresses confidence that a new bull market will begin in the fall of this year, with the next major wave of buying expected to come from institutional investors like banks, asset managers, and pension funds.

ENS Founder Seeks to 'Seize Power' from DAO

On June 29th, the ENS community entered the on-chain voting phase for a proposal to renew the ENS DAO Security Council's veto power for two more years. Shortly after voting began, ENS founder Nick Johnson used his substantial ENS holdings to cast over 3.55 million votes against the proposal, swinging the outcome despite initial strong support. The Security Council was established in July 2024 with a 4/8 multisig veto power to protect the DAO's treasury (valued over $350 million) from malicious proposals during a period of low voter participation. Its powers were limited to vetoing only harmful proposals, not normal ones. Nick Johnson's opposition stems from broader concerns about ENS DAO's governance. In late 2025, he and others expressed frustration that the DAO had become mired in political gamesmanship, with capable contributors leaving and leadership falling to less experienced or misaligned parties. This context set the stage for a major restructuring proposal by ENS COO Katherine Wu on June 19th, titled "Next Era of ENS DAO: Empowering the ENS Foundation." The controversial proposal aims to transfer daily operations, treasury management, and long-term strategy to a restructured ENS Foundation with a professional board, while the DAO would retain core protocol governance powers. Critics, including original ENS constitution author Brantly Millegan, argue this effectively transfers treasury control from token holders to ENS Labs (the core development team), undermining the DAO's original decentralized design. Nick's massive "no" vote on the Security Council renewal is seen as the first move in this power struggle. He explained his vote was due to concerns about insufficient checks on the Council's power and the potential for its veto to be used politically. In response, Katherine Wu submitted a revised proposal with higher execution thresholds (5/8 instead of 4/8) and stricter limits. The push for change comes as ENS's annual revenue has declined significantly, from over $10 million in 2023 to under $2 million in 2025, increasing pressure to manage the treasury more effectively. Nick Johnson now faces the challenge of proving that a more structured foundation can steer ENS better than the current DAO model.
