Abstract

距离以太坊合并完成已经过去了大约25天时间,根据 ultrasound.money 统计的数据显示,在完全转向 PoS 之后,以太币的新增供应量大约为 8665 ETH。

距离以太坊合并完成已经过去了大约25天时间,根据 ultrasound.money 统计的数据显示,在完全转向 PoS 之后,以太币的新增供应量大约为 8665 ETH,而如果以太坊网络依旧保留 PoW,则理论上目前新增的以太币供应量大约为 31.48万 ETH。总的来说,合并使得 ETH 新增供应降低了大约 97.25%,而 EIP-1559 的销毁机制在其中也起到了非常重要的作用。

通过观察供应曲线,我们可以看到,在大约 3天前,合并后的新增以太币数量达到了大约 1.3 万 ETH 的短期峰值,此后 ETH 开始经历通缩阶段,那到底是什么导致了网络活动的增加,促使 ETH gas 费用超过了通缩临界值呢?

通过观察燃烧排行榜,我们可以看到大部分应用的 ETH 销毁数据并没有发生太大的变化,唯独一个称为 XEN Crypto 的新面孔是异常的。

简单了解下该项目的资料后,你就会发现,XEN 并不是一个正经的应用类项目,而是 ponzi 属性很强的“社会实验”,当然,本文的重点并不是要分析它靠不靠谱,能不能参与之类的事,而是讨论这个现象对以太坊,甚至整个 crypto 市场的意义。

我们先从 polynya 的一个推文贴开始:

“由于一些 ponzi 项目,市场对以太坊 L1 的需求激增(让我想起了 Forsage 在整个 2019 年是以太坊的头号 gas 消耗者),现在,这可能会导致烦恼和问题,为什么它们不在 L2 上?

简单的答案是,它们有足够的需求来证明在 L1 上是合理的。

有人会因此而遭遇损失是显而易见的,以太坊是一个中立和自由的市场,任何人都可以随意竞标交易,中立意味着 ponzi 交易比捐赠给乌克兰更有价值,如果 ponzi 参与者有能力支付更多。

无论出于何种原因,这个 ponzi 似乎都非常有价值,这意味着它已经*赢得*成为顶级 L1 应用的方式。即使 L2 rollup 已经非常成熟,重要的是要记住,经济活动总是会优先考虑 L1。

产生最大价值的高级应用和富裕用户,将永远存在于 L1 上,并且随着 L1 的吞吐量增加,它将容纳更多的用户。只有无法负担使用 L1,以及无法在 L1 上构建的应用和用户才会溢出到 L2。

就个人而言,出于各种原因,我发现完全自由的市场非常反乌托邦,但这是 crypto 和以太坊唯一独特的主张。很可能以太坊的终局更多地被用于邪恶之事,而不是善事,这是我们必须要做好准备的事情。

下面说说我的几点观察:

很显然,crypto 很难避免 ponzi ,对于很多用户来说,这是一件糟糕的事,我们需要认清这类项目的本质;

以太坊在 L1 领域依然具有很大的优势,新的 ponzi 会不断涌现出来,在缺乏好应用的空窗期,这会导致 ETH 经历通缩,这会同时产生好影响和坏影响;

另一方面,ponzi 选择 L1 主要是因为抗审查性更好,而在目前的 L2上,都很容易遭到冻结等审查处理;

最后,一个无聊的 ponzi 项目就能占到燃烧榜的第一位,可见目前以太坊甚至整个 crypto 市场,有多缺乏真正的好应用,相比 eip-4844、zk-evm 以及 danksharding 这些前沿的技术方案,好应用可能才是我们短期更值得关注的;

Don't Just Focus on Layoffs, The New Structure of the Ethereum Foundation is More Worthy of Appreciation

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has undergone a significant organizational restructuring, with the most notable change being a strategic refocusing of its priorities rather than just a 20% staff reduction (approximately 54 people). The new structure clearly prioritizes the Protocol and Access layers, which now comprise the largest teams (57 and 34 people, respectively). This signals EF's intent to concentrate its core resources on fundamental, hard-to-outsource aspects of Ethereum: protocol evolution, security, privacy, client development, and the foundational access layer. Key areas within the Protocol layer, led by an architecture group including Vitalik Buterin and Justin Drake, receive heightened emphasis. These include post-quantum security, zkEVM, formal verification, and long-term roadmap development ("Strawmap"). This reflects a shift towards tackling complex, interdependent challenges like scalability, privacy, and future-proofing the protocol, potentially moving from a pure "redundant security" multi-client model towards more specialized clients aided by AI-assisted formal verification. Financially, EF's budget is being reduced by approximately 40%. The goal is to transition from spending about 15% of its remaining funds annually to a more sustainable 5% rate, akin to a long-term endowment, ensuring its longevity. Concurrently, the restructuring involves pushing certain responsibilities—such as application development, adoption, and ecosystem coordination—to external organizations like EthLabs, the Ethereum Apps Guild, and others. This "multi-node" model aims to increase ecosystem resilience by decentralizing functions beyond the EF, though it introduces new coordination challenges. In essence, the reorganization represents EF consciously narrowing its scope to focus on the hardest, most critical protocol-level problems while fostering a more distributed and sustainable ecosystem structure for Ethereum's future growth.

Report Analysis: What Is Coherent Planning as CPO Booms?

Title: Report Interpretation: What Moves Is Coherent Making Amid the CPO Boom? Summary: JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee reiterates an Overweight rating on Coherent (COHR), citing undervalued growth potential across three core areas: data center optical transceivers, co-packaged optics (CPO) chips, and industrial lasers/thermal management. COHR's 1.6T data center transceivers are in high demand, with pricing remaining firm. The rise of CPO is seen not as a threat but as a catalyst, creating higher demand for sophisticated optical components, an area where COHR holds a competitive edge with its comprehensive portfolio (lasers, isolators, VCSELs, thermoelectric coolers). Each CPO chip offers significantly greater revenue potential than traditional transceivers. Furthermore, its Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) technology targets a potential $4B market with reliability and power advantages. The company is expanding its InP (Indium Phosphide) device capacity fourfold within two years, securing substrate supply and transitioning to more cost-effective 6-inch wafers. As one of only two major suppliers of high-quality pump lasers—currently in severe shortage—COHR can now move up the value chain from components to complete line cards/systems, boosting ASP over tenfold. Gross margin targets (>42%) may be revised upward due to high-end product premiums, cost improvements from the wafer transition, and contributions from new high-margin products like CPO and OCS. Its efficient thermadite thermal material also offers long-term growth. Industrial segment revenue grows at a steady 5-10%, supported by semiconductor equipment orders. Changes in Apple's Face ID protocol present a re-competition opportunity for 3D sensing. Overall, Coherent is positioned as a key infrastructure provider, with AI-driven compute demand fueling the need for high-speed optical interconnectivity. Growth from CPO/OCS, stable industrial performance, and margin improvement support the bullish thesis. *Disclaimer: This summary interprets a third-party analyst report from JP Morgan.

After Laying Off 20% of Staff, What Are the Key Points of EF's New Structure?

Following the completion of a months-long organizational restructuring, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced a 20% workforce reduction (approximately 54 employees) on June 23rd. It reorganized its teams into five new core clusters: Protocol, Access, User, Community, and Institutional (plus Operations/Management support units). Officially, this move implements the EF's 2026 Mandate and 2025 Treasury Management Policy, aiming to create a more focused and "self-sovereign" organization. The restructuring prioritizes the CROPS principles—Censorship Resistance, Openness & Freedom, Privacy, and Security—as foundational organizational tenets. The Protocol cluster will focus on core protocol R&D, including MEV reduction and zkEVM. The Access cluster emphasizes preserving user "zero option" for non-custodial, permissionless interaction. The User, Community, and Institutional clusters will manage external engagement, with the latter handling institutional and regulatory matters. While offering enhanced severance and transition support for affected employees, the EF did not disclose budget allocations or specific KPIs for the new clusters. This has led to market uncertainty about the impact on project funding and development priorities. Analysts note the announcement's positive tone of mission focus contrasts with a backdrop of recent EF leadership changes and broader ecosystem pressures. The true impact—whether this signifies strategic realignment or reactive contraction—will become clearer as the new structure's resource allocation and project prioritization are revealed in the coming months.

Top-Tier MEV Bot Loses $7.5 Million: Is 'Approval' the Most Overlooked Fatal Risk On-Chain?

The article discusses a sophisticated attack on a prominent Ethereum MEV (Miner Extractable Value) bot, Jaredfromsubway.eth, resulting in a loss exceeding $7.5 million. Unlike typical exploits involving key leaks or smart contract bugs, this attack was a carefully orchestrated "reverse hunt." The attacker spent weeks deploying fake tokens and liquidity pools that mimicked legitimate assets like WETH and USDC. These pools were designed to appear as profitable arbitrage opportunities, tricking the automated bot's trading logic. During its normal operation, the bot was induced to grant ERC-20 token approvals to the malicious contracts. Once sufficient permissions were accumulated, the attacker drained the bot's funds by calling these pre-approved allowances. This incident highlights the often-underestimated risks associated with token approvals in Web3. The article explains that approvals are a fundamental mechanism, allowing smart contracts (like DEXs) to move a user's tokens on their behalf. However, risks arise from practices like granting infinite approvals, the persistence of approvals even after disconnecting from a dApp, and the potential for a once-trusted contract to become compromised later. The piece concludes with advice for managing approval risks: users should adopt the principle of least privilege (approving only the needed amount), use separate wallets for storage versus interactions, and regularly audit and revoke unnecessary approvals using tools like Revoke.cash. It also emphasizes the role of wallets like imToken in providing proactive defenses, such as risk warnings and clear, readable transaction signing interfaces, to help users make informed decisions. Ultimately, wallet security must extend beyond private key protection to include active management of token approvals.
