Kraken 推出比特币“质押”功能,通过与 DeFi 协议 Babylon 集成实现

据《The Block》报道,加密货币交易所 Kraken 通过与 DeFi 协议 Babylon 的新集成,推出了比特币“质押”功能。

用户可以在不桥接(bridging)、不封装(wrapping)、不出借的前提下,在 Kraken 平台上持有比特币并获得最高 1% 的年收益率(APR)。

Kraken 用户可以直接在平台上“质押”其比特币,这些比特币随后通过 Babylon 被委托给权益证明(Proof-of-Stake, PoS)网络以提供安全保障,奖励将以 Babylon 的原生代币 BABY 每周发放。

根据 Kraken 周四发布的一份声明,用户对其 BTC 保留完全所有权,BTC 始终保留在比特币主链上,奖励则通过可验证的智能合约管理,并受到加密保障。用户可以即时质押 BTC,但解除质押需等待 7 天的解绑期,在此期间将不产生奖励。

该功能仅在以下地区开放:美国(不包括加州、缅因州、马里兰州、新泽西州、纽约州、华盛顿州和威斯康星州)、英国、澳大利亚和阿联酋

Kraken 全球消费者业务负责人 Mark Greenberg 表示:

“目前有大量比特币闲置在我们平台上,对客户来说这是一个重大机会成本,对整个生态系统而言也是一个错失的机会。通过此次推出,客户不仅可以从其 BTC 中获取收益,还能帮助新兴的 PoS 区块链受益于比特币的经济权重,从而验证交易并增强网络安全。”

Kraken 是第一家通过 Babylon 的时间锁定协议提供原生 BTC 质押式收益的大型加密交易所,无需封装、桥接或出借。相比之下,一些平台(如 Crypto.com)提供的“赚币”服务是通过出借方式实现的,存在额外的对手方风险。

Kraken 联合首席执行官 Arjun Sethi 在 X 上发文称:

“长期以来,人们都认为比特币无法质押,并不是因为这是个坏主意,而是因为所需的基础设施并不存在。比特币并不支持质押,它没有原生委托、没有智能合约、也没有惩罚机制。因此,过去你所能做的只是持有它,希望升值,或者信任某个第三方让他们去出借它,这其中你无法看到过程。”

他补充道:

“问题在于,比特币是地球上最安全的货币网络,却也是生产力最低的网络之一。如今有超过 1 万亿美元的比特币正闲置无用。直到最近,才终于有了可信的方式能让这些比特币产生实际用途。随着 Babylon 等新协议的出现,现在我们终于有了在不放弃控制权的前提下获得原生收益的路径。我们非常高兴能够支持这一进展。”

Kraken 是最早在 2019 年推出托管质押服务的交易所之一,当时就支持 Ethereum、Solana 和 Polygon 等区块链网络的质押。

它是如何运作的?

虽然 Babylon 被宣传为“比特币原生质押协议”,但它与 PoS 系统中的原生质押方式不同。

Babylon 的运作方式如下:

用户将 BTC 通过比特币主链的时间锁(time-lock)进行非托管锁定;

BTC 始终保留在比特币网络上,不会被转出;

通过原生的 Taproot 脚本(Tapscript)完成时间锁定,从而实现安全的委托;

PoS 链引用这些时间锁的 BTC 承诺,并将其视为经济安全层;

用户则从这些 PoS 链上获得奖励,通常是本地代币(如 BABY),而非 BTC;

支持集成的链包括:Ethereum、Solana、Chainlink、Avalanche、Sui

Babylon 自身的 Genesis PoS 链充当最终性层(finality layer)。

需要强调的是:

这并非在原生比特币协议中实现的质押,因为比特币是基于工作量证明(PoW)的;

它没有通胀机制产生奖励;

奖励不是 BTC,而是 PoS 链的代币(如 BABY);

更准确地说,这是一种 以比特币为抵押,为 PoS 链提供安全性 的方式。

尽管 Babylon 避免了封装 BTC、Kraken 提供了更用户友好的界面,但该方案仍然存在以下风险:

锁仓期间资产不可动用

链下协调带来的复杂性和风险

奖励代币价格波动性高

Kraken 的中心化托管仍是一个风险点

South Korean Institutions' Crypto Race: Dual Explosion of Stablecoins and RWA

**Summary: South Korea's Institutional Crypto Race: Stablecoins and RWA Take Off** South Korea is undergoing a structural shift in its crypto ecosystem, moving beyond its historical role as a major retail trading hub. Major financial institutions and internet platforms are now building institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure, with stablecoins and Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization as the primary drivers. The push for a regulated Korean won stablecoin market is a major policy and corporate focus. This is driven partly by an estimated $115 billion outflow into dollar stablecoins like USDC, threatening the domestic financial system. Banks (e.g., KB Financial, Hana), payment giants (e.g., Shinhan Card, BC Card), and internet super-apps (KakaoPay, NAVER Pay) are all conducting pilots. The goal is to anchor future digital finance to the Korean won and local regulations. In RWA, South Korea is advancing rapidly within regulatory sandboxes, focusing on unique domestic assets beyond typical global templates like US Treasuries. Projects involve tokenizing ships (with Hyundai Heavy Industries), defense supply chain assets, and K-pop intellectual property, alongside more conventional assets. A legal framework is set for 2027, and platforms like NXT are preparing for regulated trading. Key opportunities for crypto-native projects lie in providing the underlying technology these traditional institutions lack: global distribution channels for tokenized assets, cross-chain liquidity solutions, and enabling infrastructure tools (e.g., for asset packaging and management). Partnerships, such as Solana with Shinhan Card or LayerZero with the Korea Gold Exchange, exemplify this proactive approach. Crucially, user access is being shaped by consumer platforms. NAVER's planned acquisition of Upbit's operator Dunamu and Kakao's development of a unified wallet aim to seamlessly integrate crypto with everyday payments for tens of millions of users. The race is now about which protocols and projects will become the foundational standards as regulation solidifies and institutional adoption accelerates.

How to Detect AI-Generated Videos? A Review of Dynamic, Traceable, and Explainable Detection Systems

**How to Detect AI-Generated Videos: A Survey on Dynamic, Traceable, and Explainable Detection Systems** With rapid advances in AI video generation (e.g., Sora, Veo), creating highly realistic, multi-minute videos is now possible, widening the gap with detection research. Current AI video detection, often limited to unreliable binary classifications, is insufficient. This survey, accepted at ACL 2026, reframes the goal as **"factual fidelity verification"**—checking if a video's content (who, when, where, what) aligns with the real world perceptually and cognitively. It categorizes AI-generated videos into three paradigms: **Local Manipulation Videos (LMV**, e.g., face swaps), **Audio-Visual Editing (AVE**, e.g., lip-syncing), and **Generative Video Synthesis (GVS**, fully synthetic videos like Sora's). Detection challenges evolve from visual artifacts in LMV to multi-modal inconsistencies in AVE and higher-level world knowledge violations in GVS. The core proposal is a **Vision-Language Dual-View framework** with four hierarchical layers: 1. **Layer 1 (Intrinsic Visual Cues):** Analyzes low-level signal statistics, noise patterns, and physiological signals. 2. **Layer 2 (Spatiotemporal Consistency):** Checks for temporal coherence in object motion and scene dynamics. 3. **Layer 3 (Cross-Modal Consistency):** Verifies alignment between video, audio, and text within the video. 4. **Layer 4 (Language-Guided World-Level Reasoning):** Uses external knowledge, facts, and physical laws to judge semantic plausibility and factual correctness. The survey traces a shift in detection focus from lower layers (1 & 2) toward higher, language-involved layers (3 & 4). It also reviews evolving evaluation metrics and datasets tailored for each video paradigm. The conclusion advocates for a **dynamic, evidence-first detection system** that moves beyond simple classification. Future trustworthy detection requires combining visual evidence (from CV) with semantic reasoning and explanation (from NLP & multimodal AI), ultimately creating traceable and explainable judgments about a video's adherence to real-world constraints.

It Turns Out the First Real-World Application of AI x Crypto is in Security Auditing

The article explores the surprising trend where AI's first major impact on crypto has been in security auditing, not in areas like trading or analytics. It details how AI-powered tools are dramatically lowering the barrier to finding smart contract vulnerabilities, enabling attackers to scan thousands of contracts and execute exploits within minutes. This has rendered traditional, manually-produced audit reports with their month-long validity periods increasingly obsolete, creating a critical "structural crack" in the old security model. Cases like Drift Protocol and KelpDAO show that even extensively audited protocols can be hacked through social engineering, operational flaws, or infrastructure misconfigurations beyond pure code review. Attackers are also using AI to find and exploit vulnerabilities in years-old, deployed contracts. Notably, OpenZeppelin's co-founder has expressed a grim view that "all DeFi is insecure" due to AI's asymmetric advantage. In response, the audit industry is undergoing a fundamental shift. While there's a short-term spike in defensive re-audits, the long-term business model is changing. Firms are developing AI-assisted systems and moving from one-time report deliveries towards embedded, continuous services like real-time monitoring and formal verification. Examples include AI tools uncovering critical, previously missed vulnerabilities in heavily audited protocols like Curve Finance and Zcash. The conclusion is that security must become a continuous investment, not a one-time checkbox, and audit firms must rapidly evolve their tools and service models to survive.
