金融保管的演变
无论技术如何发展,对保管的需求始终如一。自 17 世纪金匠银行家时代以来,企业一直严重依赖银行来保管其资产;然而,正如最近硅谷银行崩溃所证明的那样,即使经过了几个世纪的演变,银行仍然充满固有的破产风险。
除了简单的保管之外,华尔街还依赖于一个复杂的清算和结算层网络。直到最近,这个过程还是一个实际的事务,在 20 世纪 60 年代华尔街的文书危机达到高潮。为了应对这场危机,创建了一些后来演变成 DTCC 的实体,它将证券数字化,并成为所有清算和结算服务的中心枢纽。然而,尽管电子交易将执行时间缩短到几秒钟,结算仍然以天来衡量。
在 2008 年全球金融危机之后,保管业发生了变革。监管审查导致了主要托管银行的整合(本来就是寡头垄断)。截至 2022 年 6 月底,四大托管银行的托管资产总额为 136.6 万亿美元。现代托管银行提供的服务不仅仅是简单的保管;它们提供基金管理、证券借贷服务等,经常产生内部利益冲突。资产的集中以及利益冲突的出现,带来了新的风险形式。一个实际的例子是世界前两大托管银行 BNY Mellon 和 State Street 的隐性标价争议。
区块链代表了下一代进化——它是数字化和凭证工具的最佳结合。它们以原生方式保管数字资产,实现即时全球支付结算,允许实时交易结算,并大大降低对手方风险。此外,智能合约还有可能不仅简化后台操作,而且根据多项研究结果,为金融行业节省数十亿美元。因此,我们相信未来现实世界的资产将被代币化。我们已经看到这方面的趋势——已有超过 10 亿美元的名义私人信贷和美国国债在链上流通。
然而,作为自己的托管人很困难,且容易造成单点故障。为解决这个问题,托管必须在组织内部分散,并允许多方以主权但可编程的方式行使权力。因此,我们设想的托管演变的最终状态是一个未来,组织可以通过多重签名钱包存储和管理他们的资产。
Squads:Solana 多签标准
随着加密货币的成熟,机构投资者和互联网原生组织需要一种管理资产的方式。这就是多签钱包(又称多重签名)的作用所在。与仅需要一个参与方签名交易的简单加密货币钱包不同,多签钱包需要多个参与方签名交易。
Squads 于 2022 年 2 月作为 Solana 生态系统中首批多签钱包之一推出。自那时起,Solana 上的投资者和开发者迅速将其视为通用标准。
如今,超过 100 个团队(包括 Helium、Hivemapper、Jito、Drift、Marginfi、Backpack、Jupiter、Pyth、Tensor 等知名团队)依赖 Squads(v3)来协调团队和财务资产(撰写本文时价值约为 5 亿美元)。Squads(v3)代码库在市场上经受了 13 个月的严格测试,经历了 4 次独立审计,最重要的是,已经过正式验证。
传统企业已经完善了访问控制,使特定员工能够在各种情境下处理资金转移。为了实现有意义的规模,互联网原生组织也需要类似的控制。
在 Squads 协议之上,Squads 构建了一个功能强大、功能丰富的平台,为团队提供了一整套的项目管理工具,包括团队权限。开发人员可以将 Squads 用作其程序升级权限,消除关键人风险并降低恶意代码进入生产的风险。它还为他们提供了财务管理控制功能,方便存储和分发资助、管理筹款资产、收入流、流动性挖矿奖励等。
What’s Coming Next?
本周早些时候,Squads 推出了对 Squads 平台的重大升级,并推出了一些新产品,使其功能比以前更强大。
SquadsX
除了桌面和移动界面外,Squads 现在还拥有自己的网络扩展钱包——SquadsX。它是 Solana 的第一个多签浏览器扩展钱包。
SquadsX 专为团队和机构设计,使团队能够首次与去中心化应用和 DeFi 互动,同时仍提供企业级安全。SquadsX 解决了多签(与 DeFi 的可用性不足)的最大问题,并启用了新的群组管理活动,如流动性供应、借贷、借款和链上交易,所有这些都直接来自 Squads 多签。
Squads(v4)
除了 SquadsX,Squads 还发布了对协议的重大升级,「Squads v4」。Squads(v4)已通过 Neodyme、OtterSec 和 Trail of Bits 的审计,OtterSec 和 Certora 的正式验证目前正在进行中。Squads 预计到 2023 年 11 月底,经过严格审计的 Squads(v4)代码库将被设置为不可更改。Squads(v4)拥有一些新的杀手级企业功能,我们以下面几个亮点为例:
1、时间锁:Squads(v4)在程序升级批准和链上执行之间引入了时间间隔。时间锁提高了在新代码上线前发现错误的几率。
2、角色与权限:Squads(v4)在多个地址上提供了增强的会计和支出能力。权限包括消费限额和在未达到阈值的情况下启用提款。
3、费用中继:Squads(v4)还引入了一个「费用中继」,使多签钱包能够支付所有与 Squads 相关的燃气费。一旦激活,战队成员可以在零 SOL 余额的情况下签署交易,简化操作并允许去中心化应用承担燃气费用。
4、批量支付:大多数以加密为本的初创公司都有几名员工和承包商,就像传统组织一样。Squads(v4)引入了执行批量支付的能力。这是一个非常受欢迎的功能。
5、支持地址查找表(ALTs):每个 Solana 交易都需要列出作为交易一部分的每个互动地址。在引入 ALTs 之前,每笔交易的地址上限实际上是 32 个。在 Squads(v4)中,引入 ALTs 后,每笔交易的地址数量已增加到 256 个,允许用户进行更复杂的交易。
通过 SquadsX 和 Squads(v4),Squads 团队已经构建了区块链原生托管的基础设施,现在他们正在基于这些基础设施构建新的令人兴奋的产品,并带来有吸引力的收入线。
运营企业涉及到财务管理、薪酬、人力资源和工程方面的操作。在加密领域,运营还包括授权许可、交易限额、链上投票、代码权威、延时实施等等。普通人并不与协议进行交互,现实情况是,只有少数加密领域的人们直接参与这些协议。这意味着简化企业运营市场有着巨大的潜力。我们相信 Squads 以一种安全可靠的方式为加密领域敞开大门,并提供了当今市场上一些最具吸引力的企业级和机构级产品。
在过去的 18 个月里,尽管是熊市,Squads 团队仍表现出强烈的专注和执行力。我们很高兴能够支持 Squads,帮助引领互联网原生基础设施的新时代,实现自主托管和链上资本协调。

Should You Buy SpaceX Stock at $1.7 Trillion? Here's What the Market Is Worried About

SpaceX is preparing for a massive IPO aiming to raise around $75 billion at a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion. While its achievements in reusable rockets and the profitable Starlink satellite internet service are clear, the market is concerned about the aggressive valuation. Key issues include: the current $1.75 trillion valuation, which is about 94 times 2025 revenue, seems to price in not just existing businesses but also unproven future ventures like AI infrastructure and orbital data centers. Financially, while Starlink is profitable, the AI division, bolstered by the acquisition of xAI, is incurring massive losses and consuming the majority of capital expenditures. This acquisition also introduced complex related-party financing arrangements and debt onto SpaceX's balance sheet. Furthermore, corporate governance poses a challenge. SpaceX's dual-class share structure ensures founder Elon Musk retains absolute control, limiting ordinary shareholders' influence over high-risk, long-term strategic decisions. The future success of ambitious projects like the Starship rocket—critical for lowering costs and enabling new services—remains a significant variable for the valuation. In summary, the market's apprehension (FUD) centers not on doubting SpaceX's past technological triumphs but on questioning how much premium public investors should pay for a future that combines proven profits with highly speculative and capital-intensive new ventures, all under a governance structure that offers limited shareholder oversight.

Breaking the DeFi Cascading Liquidation Curse: Vitalik Proposes a New Solution

Vitalik Buterin has proposed a new DeFi design to eliminate the automatic liquidation mechanism that causes market instability during sharp downturns. The current system, used by protocols like Aave, triggers forced sales when collateral value falls below a threshold, often exacerbating price drops and creating systemic selling pressure. Buterin's alternative model is based on splitting an asset like ETH into two synthetic option-like tokens, P and N, pegged to a price index. Their combined value always equals one ETH. Instead of sudden liquidation, a position's value gradually drifts from its target peg if the market moves. Users must proactively rebalance their holdings to maintain their desired exposure, transferring the management burden from the protocol to the user or automated tools. A key advantage is the reduced reliance on real-time oracles. Pricing decisions are deferred until contract expiry, allowing for more robust, fault-tolerant oracle designs. This removes a clear liquidation threshold that speculators can target for manipulation or MEV extraction. However, significant challenges remain. Frequent rebalancing could incur high slippage and transaction costs, necessitating new liquidity provider models. The design is better suited for hedging instruments than for stablecoins requiring a rigid 1:1 peg. While not an immediate replacement for existing systems, the proposal challenges the foundational assumption that instantaneous forced liquidation is an unavoidable necessity in DeFi, opening the door for fundamentally different risk management architectures.

The End of Single-Factor Cryptography

The article "The End of Single-Factor Crypto" posits a fundamental shift in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. It argues the era where crypto asset valuations were predominantly driven by, and correlated with, Bitcoin's price is ending. The space is bifurcating into two distinct economies: endogenous and exogenous. The endogenous economy represents traditional crypto, where token and project values are directly tied to crypto market prices. The emerging exogenous economy comprises projects and businesses that may utilize blockchain technology or tokens but derive their fundamental value from external, non-crypto factors like consumer demand, subscription revenue, or real-world utility. Examples include AI inference platforms like Venice, fintech lenders using blockchain for efficiency, and stablecoin/payment infrastructure companies acquired by giants like Mastercard and Stripe. This shift means investment analysis must change. For exogenous assets, evaluating traditional business fundamentals—such as revenue streams, unit economics, and competitive moats—becomes more critical than tracking Bitcoin charts. While endogenous assets like Bitcoin remain relevant, the growth of the exogenous category is driven by measurable demand independent of crypto price cycles, paving the way for a new, more diversified market phase. Consequently, crypto is evolving from a single-factor, reflexive asset class into a multifaceted ecosystem with varied drivers and investment theses.
