从用户体验、内容生产、经济系统等维度分析 The Sandbox。

元宇宙是现实世界的虚拟世界,需要对内容生产、经济系统、用户体验以及实体世界内容等进行大量改造。目前,行业内接近元宇宙形态的平台包括 SandboxDecentralandCryptovoxels 等。其中,Sandbox 目前生态最为完善。本文将以用户体验、内容及内容生产、经济系统这几个维度来分析这个项目。
用户体验
从媒体介质来看,游戏无疑是最为适配元宇宙世界的媒介。从用户体验来看,游戏是应用中互动性最强、用户注意力最集中的品类。未来随着 3A 游戏出现,游戏效果将极大增强感官冲击,让玩家产生如临游戏场景的体验。随着人们对于游戏形态的不断拓展,玩家将不仅停留在打怪闯关上,也会探索游戏内的社交、玩赚以及学习等功能。最后,当爆款游戏成为一种文化现象而引发人们的讨论时,其意义将远超游戏本身。

经济

Sandbox 是现阶段唯一具备游戏性的项目,Decentraland 以及 Crypto Voxels 还停留在浏览的基础上。浏览指的是玩家只能在虚拟空间中走动,而无法做到其他的互动。在最近的 Sandbox Alpha Season2 中,玩家可以惊喜地发现不同的地图(游戏)对应不同的功能:有的地图强调游戏性(德古拉篇),有的地图突出文化输出(Snoop Dogg 篇),有的地图则侧重于科普(天星小轮篇)。当游戏开始拥有着复合的功能时,人们将实现在虚拟空间中云蹦迪、云逛展、云演唱会、云学习、云结婚,不仅仅是打怪升级而已。

经济

内容以及内容生产
UGC 其实不是一个新鲜的词汇了,Web2 中的 Youtube、Tiktok、Bilibili 等短视频平台都是采用的 UGC 模式,永动机式的内容创作使平台拥有强劲的生命力。对于游戏 UGC 而言,从魔兽 3 开始小试牛刀,到 Roblox 将概念发扬光大;游戏 UGC 代表游戏创作的一种先进的思路。相较于传统游戏从萌芽到诞生历经艰辛,寿命却非常有限;游戏 UGC 使基于底层架构的游戏源源不断开发出来,实现了生态的可持续发展。虽然 Roblox 是划时代的产品,却受困于 Web2 体制而发展受限,这会在最后一个章节中细说。
Roblox 给开发者提供的支持在于平台为创作者提供工具帮助开发游戏,且作为流量入口为游戏倒流。参照 Roblox,Sandbox 为创作者提供了两款创作工具。其中 VoxEdit 帮助游戏开发者创造体素素材(Asset)并放在市场上售卖,而 Game Creator 则帮助玩家搭建游戏场景、放置体素素材以及设计角色的动态效果等。

经济

对于 UGC 而言,创作工具的难易程度以及平台方的扶持都至关重要。目前,Sandbox 的创作工具完全是内部开发的,还未引入外部工具。这意味着第一,对于不熟悉体素创作的创作者需要时间学习,且从入门到精通的周期长。第二,现有的体素素材库库存还远远不够,官方需要吸引更多创作者创作以及引入外部素材。目前,官方开启了优秀体素作品的激励计划以及资助了部分的工作室,扶持力度有待加强。
如果元宇宙平台是飞船,UGC 作为引擎已经有了,而以 IP 主导的内容作为燃料需要不断填充进来。有人说元宇宙的形态是赛博朋克,而事实上元宇宙横亘古今、放眼寰宇,且亦实亦虚,如梦似幻。元宇宙可建立在现实世界中,亦可脱离开现实;目力所及或想象力所达之处皆可称元宇宙。以 Sandbox 为例,IP 可以是耳熟能详的阿迪达斯、华纳音乐以及 Snoop Dogg,亦可以是创作者脑海中的德古拉城堡、唐朝边陲小镇、海底世界等等。现实世界 IP 诸如阿迪达斯、Smurf、Snoop Dogg、Atari 的入局赋予了传统 IP 新的生命力,同时也让元宇宙平台更加出圈。同时,UGC 模式也鼓励新 IP 的创作,比如说 The Walking Dead、Deadmao5 等都将持续在平台上推出游戏。只要 UGC 模式不熄火,那么内容将会不断迭代更新。

经济

经济系统
上文提到 Roblox 发展受限,其原因可以归结于 Roblox 的货币 Roblux 仅仅在游戏系统中流通,兑换成法币颇为困难。这导致创作者的收入锐减,远低于行业的平均水平。除了平台、流量、创作者以外,变现以及收入分成才是 UGC 的精髓。比如,短视频平台目前采用的是对用户免费开放以获取流量,通过广告以及游戏进行变现的模式。对于 Web3 平台来说,即便拥有了 FT&NFT 可以灵活地调和各方的利益,仍要审慎地运用并掌握经济模型。经济模式终归是把双刃剑,它能加速生态的发展,也能让生态进入死亡螺旋。Sandbox 涉及了诸多的利益相关方:平台、创作者、B 端用户、C 端玩家、土地持有者以及通证持有者,一旦 NFT 或者 FT 的价格出现剧烈波动,打破了各方的平衡,便会影响到整个生态的发展。因此,项目方需要保证生态渐进发展,以谋求更长远的未来。
综上所述,Sandbox 是目前元宇宙平台中生态发展最为稳健的。这种游戏+UGC+IP 内容+经济系统的组合充满着机遇(对于创作者而言),却也面临着不小的挑战。比如,平台如何吸引创作者源源不断地进入生态?又如何平衡平台以及创作者的利益?平台方除了土地收入以外,还有哪些盈利模型?这些挑战还待项目方认真思考以及解决。

Ratio's CEO Says Multi-Currency Stablecoins Could Eliminate Costly FX Conversions in Asia

The CEO of Ratio, John Cho, argues that multi-currency stablecoins could save Asia billions by eliminating costly foreign exchange conversions in regional trade. While USD stablecoins like USDT and USDC work for global settlements, local Asian trade is conducted in local currencies like the Korean won or Singapore dollar. Forcing these transactions through USD intermediaries creates unnecessary costs and currency risk. Cho envisions a complementary ecosystem where local-currency stablecoins work alongside USD stablecoins, enabling seamless cross-border settlements without conversion friction. A key pain point in traditional banking is the need for pre-funded Nostro and Vostro accounts, which lock up vast amounts of working capital. Blockchain-based settlement layers like Ratio offer a 24/7 alternative, using on-chain liquidity to enable instant execution even when traditional channels are closed. Modern Web3 infrastructure providers are focusing on pragmatic integration with existing corporate systems like ERPs, allowing businesses to gradually shift volumes to digital channels for better speed, cost, and reduced slippage. Clear regulation is cited as the critical catalyst for widespread institutional adoption. As jurisdictions like the U.S. advance legislation (e.g., the CLARITY Act) and Asian countries are expected to pass their own stablecoin laws within 12-24 months, regulatory uncertainty is receding. The ultimate vision is for regulated stablecoins to become an invisible settlement layer integrated into national payment systems, where payments simply happen on-chain, erasing the boundary between traditional banking and digital assets.

Huang Xiaoming, Li Bin, Lei Jun, Liang Wenfeng... Who Are the Biggest Winners in the CXMT IPO Feast?

Changxin Technology, a leading Chinese memory chip manufacturer, successfully listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market (科创板) on July 8, 2026. Its share price surged from the IPO price of 8.66 yuan to close at 49 yuan on the first day, catapulting its market capitalization to 3.28 trillion yuan, making it the most valuable A-share company and triggering a massive wealth creation event. The biggest winners were the company's founder, Zhu Yiming, and its employees. Zhu Yiming's family wealth skyrocketed nearly 300% to approximately $13.9 billion, with his direct stake in Changxin valued at around 80 billion yuan. Additionally, over 6700 employees benefited from stock ownership plans, creating at least 237 new millionaires (in CNY). Zhu also pledged to donate 768 million shares, worth over 37.6 billion yuan, for future employee incentives over a ten-year period. Several prominent investors and corporate clients also reaped significant paper gains from the IPO. Notable figures include: * **Liang Wenfeng**, founder of DeepSeek, whose funds netted a paper profit of approximately 827 million yuan. * **Kong Jianping**, founder of Nano Labs, saw his indirect holdings valued at roughly 940 million yuan. * **Li Bin**, founder of Nio, whose company's strategic investment of 158 million yuan is now worth about 740 million yuan. * **Lei Jun**, founder of Xiaomi, whose subsidiary holds shares currently showing a paper gain of over 736 million yuan. Xiaomi clarified this is a corporate investment, not direct personal wealth. The article notes that while this IPO created immense wealth for insiders and large investors, retail investors who were lucky enough to win an allotment in the lottery typically profited by around 20,000 yuan. The listing solidifies Changxin's position as China's premier domestic memory chipmaker.

IOSG: From Hot Storage to Cold Memory – Decentralized Storage in the AI Era's Storage Boom

This article explores the stark contrast between the booming AI storage sector and the currently undervalued decentralized storage market. It argues their core value propositions differ fundamentally: AI storage is a "hot data efficiency" system designed to maximize computational throughput, GPU utilization, and business monetization by accelerating data flow into processors. In contrast, decentralized storage represents a "cold data trust" system, prioritizing data immutability, censorship resistance, and the preservation of long-term human memory. The analysis details the multi-layered AI storage architecture, from high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and enterprise SSDs for high-performance needs to data lakes for capacity. It highlights how AI has repositioned storage from a cost center to a critical efficiency engine. Decentralized storage, exemplified by Filecoin and Arweave, is examined for its distinct philosophies and current challenges, including product-market fit, retrieval latency, and enterprise adoption hurdles. Despite its current quiet phase, the article posits that decentralized storage holds unique future value for AI data provenance, public dataset archiving, compliance, and safeguarding civilizational records against censorship. The conclusion suggests that while the market currently rewards efficiency, the need for trusted, permanent data layers may eventually lead to a revaluation of decentralized storage's role.

Exploring ChangXin Technology's Hefei Headquarters: The Rising Campus Ignites Changgang CBD, Grassroots Employees 'Witness' Wealth Creation Myth

"On-the-Ground Visit to CXMT's Hefei Headquarters: Campus Boom Ignites Changgang 'CBD,' While Rank-and-File Employees Watch Wealth Creation Myth from the Sidelines." Following CXMT's (ChangXin Memory Technologies Inc., 688825.SH) explosive stock market debut on July 27, where its share price surged over fivefold, a site visit to its Hefei headquarters reveals a stark contrast. While the company's市值 soared, making it A-share's most valuable firm,基层员工 indicate the wealth creation has largely bypassed them. Employees reveal that股权激励 is restricted to managerial levels (Grade 9科长 and above), with most普通员工 at Grades 11 or 12. Salaries, while considered high for Hefei at around 200,000 RMB annually, fall short of the millions speculated online. Work routines remain demanding, with long hours, phone confiscation in sensitive areas, and strict保密 protocols forbidding unauthorized external communication. Simultaneously, CXMT's expansion is visibly transforming the once-rural Changgang area. Ongoing construction includes multiple new phases, with an industrial chain of supporting companies集聚 around the campus. This growth has spurred local development: housing prices initially skyrocketed, and a vibrant commercial district dubbed "Changgang CBD" now thrives, catering to the潮汐效应 of shift workers. The area has evolved from construction sites to a bustling hub, though the company's stringent安保, including high-voltage perimeter fencing, underscores its sensitive nature. The report concludes that while CXMT's rise fuels regional economic activity, the immediate financial rewards of its上市 are not shared by its frontline workforce.
