币界网报道:

MetaMask、万事达卡和Baanx联手推出了MetaMask卡的试点计划,这是一种加密借记卡,用户可以直接从他们的MetaMask钱包中消费。

这张卡允许欧盟和英国的合格用户在任何接受万事达卡的地方购物,绕过了在消费前将加密货币转换为法定货币的常见麻烦。

Consensys高级产品经理洛伦佐·桑托斯(Lorenzo Santos)将MetaMask卡描述为一种让用户“更自由地使用加密货币”的方式

Baanx首席商务官Simon Jones补充说,他们正在与MetaMask合作,帮助用户更好地控制自己的财务。

符合条件的用户可以通过在他们的MetaMask投资组合中查找“卡”选项卡来检查他们是否是试点的一部分。如果可用,他们将被重定向到Crypto Life以设置他们的帐户并激活他们的卡。

长期以来,在现实世界中使用加密货币一直是一个麻烦。通常,你必须将资金转移到交易所,将其转换为法定货币,然后将这笔钱转移到银行,然后才能使用。

MetaMask卡省去了这些步骤,让用户直接使用他们的加密货币,不需要银行。它的工作原理类似于借记卡。

这意味着您的加密货币将一直保存在您的MetaMask钱包中,直到您购买为止。该卡接入万事达卡的全球网络,因此您几乎可以在任何地方使用它,无论是在线还是实体店。

此试点支持的货币包括Linea上的USDC、USDT和wETH。万事达卡于2021年首次宣布在其网络上支持特定的加密货币。

然后,他们与Wirex和BitPay等公司建立了合作关系,推出加密卡,使人们能够使用他们的加密余额进行交易。

2022年10月,万事达卡又迈出了一步,与Paxos合作创建了Crypto Source计划,该计划允许成员金融机构向其客户提供加密货币交易。

快进到2024年,万事达卡在拉丁美洲推出了加密凭证P2P试点项目。据报道,这通过为经过验证的用户分配人类可读的别名来简化加密交易,从而降低了用户出错的风险。

万事达卡声称,加密凭证服务已扩展到13个国家,并计划到2024年底在参与交易所覆盖700多万用户。

Can a Hair Dryer Earn $34,000? Deciphering the Reflexivity Paradox in Prediction Markets

An individual manipulated a weather sensor at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport with a portable heat source, causing a Polymarket weather market to settle at 22°C and earning $34,000. This incident highlights a fundamental issue in prediction markets: when a market aims to reflect reality, it also incentivizes participants to influence that reality. Prediction markets operate on two layers: platform rules (what outcome counts as a win) and data sources (what actually happened). While most focus on rules, the real vulnerability lies in the data source. If reality is recorded through a specific source, influencing that source directly affects market settlement. The article categorizes markets by their vulnerability: 1. **Single-point physical data sources** (e.g., weather stations): Easily manipulated through physical interference. 2. **Insider information markets** (e.g., MrBeast video details): Insiders like team members use non-public information to trade. Kalshi fined a剪辑师 $20,000 for insider trading. 3. **Actor-manipulated markets** (e.g., Andrew Tate’s tweet counts): The subject of the market can control the outcome. Evidence suggests Tate’sociated accounts coordinated to profit. 4. **Individual-action markets** (e.g., WNBA disruptions): A single person can execute an event to profit from their pre-placed bets. Kalshi and Polymarket handle these issues differently. Kalshi enforces strict KYC, publicly penalizes insider trading, and reports to regulators. Polymarket, with its anonymous wallet-based system, has historically been more permissive, arguing that insider information improves market accuracy. However, it cooperated with authorities in the "Van Dyke case," where a user traded on classified government information. The core paradox is reflexivity: prediction markets are designed to discover truth, but their financial incentives can distort reality. The more valuable a prediction becomes, the more likely participants are to influence the event itself. The market ceases to be a mirror of reality and instead shapes it.

First Day Review of "Musk's WeChat" XChat: Even Worse Than Expected

Elon Musk's much-anticipated "WeChat-like" app, XChat, has officially launched after multiple delays. The initial review reveals a product that falls short of expectations, offering an experience largely similar to X Platform's (formerly Twitter) direct messages, despite being marketed as an encrypted communication tool. Key observations from the first-day test include: 1. The app's promoted "end-to-end encryption" and its claimed relation to Bitcoin's architecture were criticized by experts as a superficial attempt to capitalize on crypto buzz, with no real technical connection. 2. Musk's vision of an ad-free "secure communication system" is technically met, but only because the app is currently extremely basic, featuring only a single chat interface. 3. A promised anti-screenshot feature appears inconsistent; it works in X Platform group chats but fails within the XChat app itself, where screenshots still capture avatars. 4. The app supports 45 languages and has a 16+ age rating, indicating a broader tolerance for content compared to WeChat's 13+ rating. 5. A puzzling login process requires users to verify the email associated with their X account. 6. The touted encryption" feels minimal in practice, with its presence only indicated by a simple "Encrypted - Yes" label on messages. 7. Disappearing message timers for groups can be set from 5 minutes to 4 weeks, with the timer starting upon being read by a user. 8. Group invite links are shared with X Platform groups. 9. Group size limits are planned to be increased, aiming for 1000 members, a move that has drawn user criticism. 10. The app offers 8 different colored icons, and its chat bubbles are notably similar to WeChat's. Message deletion options mimic Telegram's. Crucially, many pre-announced features like importing X contacts, integrating Grok AI, X Money payments, and Cashtags are not yet available. The initial release is seen as a bare-bones and underwhelming first step.
