新技术的采用有一个可预测的模式,Web3也不例外。1962年,埃弗雷特-罗杰斯在他的开创性著作《创新的扩散》中提出了以下的框架。

创新的扩散随着连续的消费者群体采用新技术(蓝色显示),其市场份额(黄色)将最终达到饱和水平。摘自罗杰斯-埃弗雷特的《创新扩散》(1962)。

新技术的采用有一个可预测的模式,Web3也不例外。1962年,埃弗雷特-罗杰斯在他的开创性著作《创新的扩散》中提出了以下的框架。

这个框架一再被证明是正确的,并且在过去的几十年里被科技界所采用。如图所示,第一个采用新创新的群体,毫无疑问是创新者。

创新者的房间(MidJourney AI生成)

创新者的特征

创新者是那些对新事物充满动力和兴奋的人,他们在新技术上花费大量的时间,技术相关方面付出了大量精力修补技术缺陷。一个人可能在某一领域是创新者,但在另一领域却完全落后。换句话说,那些在时尚潮流出现前几年就能预见它们的人,不太可能对下一个将席卷粮食生产领域的农业技术创新有同样的远见。

让我们看看区块链的开头,它始于开发工程师、技术极客。为开源项目做贡献的人,对深入密码学很感兴趣。这群人看到了Sitoshi关于比特币的原始白皮书,认为它将会改变世界,他们建立了第一个比特币矿厂,并一直推广它。

当创新者看到新的和新奇的东西时,他们会告诉所有的朋友和同龄人。他们是值得信赖的专家,并能让其他创新者和采用者受益。

创新者不会在意粗糙的边缘,对缺点保持耐心。他们将共同克服这些缺点,他们看到了潜力,他们看到了更大的愿景和含义,最重要的是,他们想成为塑造它的一部分。

早期采用者(MidJourney Generated)

早期采用者的特征

早期采用者群体与创新者相似,但他们不一定具有相同的专业水平。他们对创新充满热情,也愿意花时间去尝试,他们也同样不会在意粗糙的边缘。

当杰夫·贝佐斯创建亚马逊时,从卖书开始,他有一个愿景,要有一个网上商店,出售所有的东西,但他并不是一开始就在网站上加载随机排列的商品。

他们很快建立了数百万册的目录,亚马逊学会了如何做好图书销售,找到了简化运输过程的方法,并且能够比当地书店储存更多的东西。他们保留着当地零售商卖不到的旧书,早期销量的一半是人们在当地书店买不到的书。谁会买这些又老又难找的书? 爱好者,早期采用者。

一旦他们主导了图书市场,他们就有两个选择:继续为阅读图书的客户群服务,或者扩展到其他市场。

eBay有一个类似的故事,这个拍卖网站一开始是一个平台,主要是豆豆宝贝的收藏者,他们会互相购买和出售。在垄断了这个市场之后,他们没有直接去销售跑车和工业剩余产品。他们坚持与业余爱好者合作,并继续成为在线交易收藏品的场所。

早期区块链采用(MidJourney 生成)

区块链和web3的早期采用

回到web3和区块链,我们不能忽视金钱这个关键的驱动力。区块链实际上是利用互联网来铸造金钱!这就是区块链。因此,当然,贪婪和投机在推动成片的人进入这个世界方面发挥了巨大作用。

在早期,一个比特币几乎不值几分钱,但随着价值的不断上升,它吸引了新的爱好者。

有技术能力的人不断找到他们的方式来使用比特币,创新者们继续在现有的基础设施上进行建设,分享他们的知识,并记录他们的工作。通过这样做,他们允许其他了解没有那么深的人参与进来。

维塔利克-布特林(Vitalik Buterin)当时正在为比特币杂志写文章,并探索他自己的想法,最终创造了一个被称为:以太坊去中心化网络的虚拟计算机。

其他人则在建立交易所,以简化使用比特币购买和销售比特币和其他商品的过程。多年来,这些早期采用者经历了许多繁荣和萧条的周期。但他们坚持不懈,技术不断成熟。

由于比特币是一个开源项目,许多复制品和衍生区块链被创造出来,最终,以太坊登上舞台。这在2017年的ICO热潮中达到了高潮,当时每天都有新的区块链代币被推出。ICO是首次代币发行的简称,允许参与者疯狂投机,看到一个代币一夜之间产生10倍甚至20倍的回报并不罕见,看到他们在几个小时内归零,也是很常见的。

此时,区块链领域已经有了大量的基础设施,有许多方法可以购买、出售和交易加密货币,从分散的交易所到更标准化的交易所,如Binance和Coinbase。CoinMarketCap汇总了所有交易所的上市信息,使其成为价格投机的来源。

虽然你不能忽视当时的贪婪和致富心态,这带来了诸如 “ Wen Lambo? ” 和 “Wen Moon? ” 也就是说,我什么时候能买到兰博基尼(Lamborghini),或者价格什么时候能涨到月球上去?成千上万的工程师、企业家和其他专家将他们的时间和精力投入到这项技术的开发和试验中,ICO热潮基本上为一个快速发展的去中心化创新实验室提供了资金。

这为接下来的采用者群体奠定了基础,2017年,比特币成为主流,但它是短暂的,因为市场预期会崩盘。

跨越门槛

直到2020年疫情爆发,早期采用者和晚期采用者之间的门槛才真正跨越。大约在这个时候,比特币的价值从接近3000美元的低点再次开始上涨(在2017年的峰值时,比特币的价值接近2万美元)。在这一点上,早期的投资者已经做了很多基础工作,他们试图在公开市场上创建受监管的加密货币产品。特斯拉等公司宣布,他们将把比特币加入资产负债表。Cash App、Robinhood和其他主流金融科技服务,让人们可以像在其平台上购买股票一样轻松地购买加密货币。

当区块链成为主流时,NFT刚刚通过早期的采用者获得了一些吸引力。Cryptopunks于2018年推出,早期只要他们愿意铸造此NFT,就将 10000 个像素头像免费赠送给任何人,一小群数字艺术家正在探索将他们的艺术作品放在NFT上,早期的一批收藏家开始购买。

NFT市场开始崭露头角,2021年,NFT热潮开始。人们探索了NFT的新的可能性和用途,Web3这个词开始被抛出。到2021年底,NFT跨越了从早期采用者到主流受众的门槛。

今天,我们有像星巴克这样的品牌宣布了一个基于NFT的奖励计划。蒂芙尼正在为密码朋克持有人创造独特的珠宝。丝芙兰和其他LVMH品牌正在参与其中。Instagram、Twitter、Reddit和其他社交媒体平台已经有了NFT的整合。

今天的Web3为发烧友而准备

目前,建立Web3产品和社区的机会跨越了采用曲线的整个范围。

在创新者方面,仍有相当多的基础设施产品需要创建。区块链之间的安全和有效的桥梁是该清单的首要任务。持续的安全挑战也许将永远在这个名单上,对上游产生巨大影响。许多这样的机会存在于技术、治理和协议层。这些领域需要高水平的专业知识、智慧和技能。

对于早期采用者,要有创意。特别是当涉及到NFT时,需要增加它们的灵活性。它们可以是门票、收藏品、财产合约和许多其他东西。

只要将NFT与任何利基受众结合起来,你就有了一个业务。NFT+体育迷怎么样?

让我们看看Draftly这样的东西。他们允许体育迷购买NFT收藏品。这不是一个精通技术的群体,只是购买体育用品的爱好者。现在,他们可以随心所欲地花费家里的积蓄来收集他们最喜欢的运动队的NFT。

或者NFT+现场活动?我想到了YellowHeart,这是一个使用NFT购买活动门票的组织。或者NFT + 收益耕作?或者NFT+玻璃吹制?或者NFT+.....,你懂的,NFT+任何种类的爱好者都是一个商业想法。

面向主流的Web3

在鸿沟的另一边,迟到的采用者和落后的采用者——大品牌现在可以提供简单的入口,就像我们前面提到的公司所看到的那样,为这个群体提供的产品和服务也需要一个不同类型的团队。创新者和早期采用者的产品是由制造商和建造者建造的。那些喜欢辛勤工作的人,却不一定喜欢与监管机构、法律程序和谈判伙伴关系的艰苦工作。

这对主流受众来说是至关重要的工作,有一天,这个群体将在不知不觉中拥有和使用NFT。

Semiconductor Stock Rebound: Is the Technical Correction Over or a Trend Reversal?

The core of recent semiconductor stock volatility is not about daily price swings, but rather the market questioning whether AI-driven semiconductor pricing has entered a new phase. Following a sharp sell-off in Korean stocks on June 23rd, led by Samsung and SK Hynix, a subsequent rebound is seen more as a technical positioning adjustment rather than a confirmed trend reversal. The key variable is HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), essential for AI chips. Its supply-demand imbalance granted memory makers significant pricing power. The current market focus is on whether this dynamic remains strong enough to justify elevated valuations. All eyes are on Micron's upcoming earnings report. The critical factor is not whether results meet already high expectations, but whether the company's guidance confirms that AI memory pricing power, order visibility, and future margins are still expanding. Micron's outlook will serve as a crucial test for the broader AI semiconductor chain, including Samsung, SK Hynix, and other infrastructure players. The recent bounce appears to be a pre-earnings positioning repair. For it to evolve into a sustained uptrend, concrete evidence is needed that the AI infrastructure expansion cycle's fundamentals—particularly for high-end memory—remain robust and can continue to surpass elevated market expectations. The risk is that strong demand alone may not be sufficient if future guidance hints at peaking momentum or increasing supply-side pressures.

Global Tech Stocks Plunge: Another Stress Test for the AI Bull Market

Global tech stocks plummeted in a sharp selloff on June 23, with South Korea's KOSPI index crashing nearly 10%, triggering a trading halt. The plunge was led by semiconductor giants Samsung and SK Hynix, dragging down major Asian and US tech indexes and levered ETFs. The immediate trigger was a confluence of three signals within 24 hours: 1) reports that SK Hynix was slowing HBM4 expansion, raising doubts about a key AI chip bottleneck; 2) profit-taking ahead of Micron's earnings report after its massive year-to-date rally; and 3) a warning from Korean regulators about the risks of single-stock leveraged ETFs. The selloff's severity was amplified by Korea's uniquely leveraged market structure: record-high retail margin debt, over $30 billion in volatile single-stock leveraged ETFs requiring daily rebalancing (which creates selling pressure during declines), and the surprising shift of the National Pension Service from a net buyer to a net seller. The event reignited debates about an AI bubble. Analysts differed on timing—some warned of imminent rupture, others saw a temporary liquidity-driven correction—but agreed that sky-high valuations, a shift to retail/leveraged buying, and rising rates created a fragile setup. The parallel steep drop in SpaceX's stock, alongside its massive debt raise for AI infrastructure, underscored a broader market shift from narrative-driven "infinite imagination" to a "return on investment" calculation phase. All eyes are now on Micron's upcoming earnings report, seen as a key test for the AI hardware trade's fundamental logic. A strong report could stabilize markets, while a miss could validate deeper fears. The episode serves as a stark warning: when a bull run becomes dependent on leveraged bets on a single narrative, a violent and rapid correction should not be a surprise. The core question for investors is how much drawdown they are willing to tolerate to stay invested.

Ethereum Foundation Cuts 20% of Staff, 54 Depart: The Survival Logic Behind the Restructuring

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has announced a major restructuring, resulting in the departure of 54 staff members, representing approximately 20% of its workforce. This reorganization is not merely a cost-cutting measure but a strategic refocusing. The EF will now concentrate its resources on what it deems critical and unique tasks, structured around five new operational clusters. The new structure comprises clusters dedicated to: the Protocol Layer (ensuring Ethereum's core properties like censorship resistance and security); the Access Layer (enabling trusted, non-intermediated user interactions); the User Layer (grounding decisions in real user needs and constraints); the Community Layer (representing EF's stance and building alliances); and the Institutional Layer (engaging with enterprises, governments, and academia to promote principled adoption). The foundation stated that the layoffs were a difficult but necessary step to align its organization and spending with its long-term mandate, insulating its core work from short-term market fluctuations. Affected employees were offered a severance package and transition support. The restructured EF emerges as a leaner and more focused organization, poised to prioritize the development and preservation of Ethereum's foundational promise of self-sovereignty. Further details on the new operational model are expected in the coming weeks.

Talking About Returns But Not Collection? Goldfinch's Liquidation Sounds the Alarm for RWA Credit

Goldfinch, a crypto lending platform connecting investors with real-world borrowers, has proposed a full wind-down via governance proposal GIP-87. The plan would halt all new development, shut down its flagship Goldfinch Prime product, and allocate 150,000 USDC to manage the collection of outstanding loans. While the proposal is under community vote, it highlights a critical shift for the RWA (Real World Asset) lending sector: the transition from a growth phase focused on yields to a difficult recovery phase focused on collections. The proposal reveals that while the protocol's on-chain TVL is low, it still holds tens of millions in active, non-performing loans off-chain. This gap underscores that tokenizing debt makes tracking exposure transparent but does not simplify the offline, labor-intensive, and legally complex process of loan recovery. The case of the Lend East pool, where only an estimated 42% of a $10.15 million loan may be recovered, exemplifies the potential for significant investor losses. The wind-down plan forces token holders to govern not expansion but the maintenance of a debt collection system, including funding legal trust structures and preserving user access for repayments. This move starkly contrasts with the sector's typical narrative of rapid, AI-powered underwriting and high yields, exposing the often-overlooked necessity for robust borrower vetting, standardized disclosure, and sustainable collection mechanisms. Ultimately, Goldfinch's situation serves as a crucial stress test for the entire RWA lending space. It demonstrates that a platform's true resilience is tested not during capital deployment but during the protracted, costly, and uncertain process of recovering defaulted loans from real-world borrowers, a challenge blockchain transparency alone cannot solve.

Meta Launches Prediction Market, Code-Named "Arena": Not Using Real Money, 3.56 Billion Daily Active Users Are Its Biggest Bargaining Chip

Meta, under the codename "Arena," is developing a standalone prediction market application, according to a June 23 report by The New York Times. Initially, the app will operate on a points-based system rather than real-money betting, though future integration of financial transactions is not ruled out. Meta plans to leverage its vast ecosystem of apps, boasting 3.56 billion daily active users, to distribute the product. The strategy aims to lower user acquisition costs and navigate regulatory complexities associated with real-money prediction markets, which are overseen by bodies like the CFTC. News of Meta's entry caused stock dips for established players like DraftKings and Robinhood, reflecting market concerns over Meta's potential to disrupt incumbents like Polymarket and Kalshi with its massive scale. The prediction market sector has seen explosive growth, with monthly trading volume on major platforms surging to approximately $24 billion as of April 2026. This marks Meta's second foray into the space, having launched and later shut down a similar virtual-points app called Forecast in 2020. While Arena poses a competitive threat to crypto-based platforms like Polymarket, its mainstream reach could also significantly expand the overall user base and awareness for prediction markets. The project remains in development with no public launch timeline, but its announcement has already impacted market sentiment.
