KBW有感:亚洲区块链的盛会,备受关注的项目和炸鸡啤酒文化

2024 年 9 月 1 日-7 日,韩国区块链周(Korea Blockchain Week)在首尔举办。这是一场亚洲区块链的盛会,参会人数规模上万,仅次于即将举行的新加坡 Token 2049 。而由于韩国的政策支持和广泛的加密基础,持续时间也较长,本次 KBW 从规模上称得上是一场亚洲区块链的盛会。

在刚到韩国的时候,大多数不懂韩语的人都觉得有种外国人来到中国的感觉:周围的韩语随处可见,而中英文翻译的不足,虽然很多地方的店员都能说一些中文和英文,但是地图软件、打车软件、支付软件都不一样的情况还是需要几天去适应。许多人调侃,刚来的餐饮选择几乎都集中在麦当劳和汉堡王,因为这两个地方不仅有多种语言的点餐机,选择也大多和国内一致。

韩国参会者通常偏好正式的着装,休闲西装外套一般是标配,在首尔 29 度的天气下和外国人短袖短裤的参会氛围里显得有些过于正式。同时,与以往北美会议的氛围不同,这次韩国的会议吸引了不少 degen 类型的人物,几乎在每个说韩语的 side event 都能够发现一群炒币的大叔们在热烈讨论市场动态和特定代币的走势,形成了一道独特的风景线。

在首尔最为繁华的江南区,参会公司的广告可以说是铺天盖地,几家大机构重金投入宣传:XRP、Movement Labs,Babylon,Sui 等大机构在江南区主路江南大道上的巨幅显示屏上轮番显示,足以看出韩国本地的加密氛围和大量受众。虽然一些传统北美大项目在韩国亮相,但愿意重金购买展位的自托管钱包和北美 Layer-1 公链却并未出现在此次会议上。

相比于遍布首尔全城的 side event 而言,KBW 酒店主会场的展台大多集中在一些新兴项目,尤其是在基础设施和 AI 领域。在韩国本地参展的项目类型上,Social 项目相对较少,而 DeFi 和 AI 项目则相对很多,比特币生态的热度依然高涨,许多项目基于 Babylon 构建而成随着 Babylon 的主网发布都迎来了新阶段。

有一些要么是韩国项目、要么是在韩国有广泛市场或者涉足的项目在本次会议上给人留下的印象很深刻:

  • Sahara AI:Sahara AI 是一个去中心化的人工智能区块链平台,旨在建立一个开放、公平且有利于所有人的协作 AI 经济体系。该平台允许个人开发者和大型企业参与 AI 的开发与应用,确保所有贡献者得到公平的报酬,同时维护数据和模型的主权。Sahara AI 通过透明的链上归属和治理,保护个人隐私,促进多样化参与,推动 AI 生态系统的创新。Sahara AI 的核心组件包括 Sahara 区块链、先进的 AI 基础设施、去中心化的 AI 市场、开发工具和安全存储等。这些组件共同构建了一个全面、可访问且安全的平台,支持 AI 的协作开发和部署。通过这些创新,Sahara AI 致力于打破传统的集中式 AI 模式,赋予用户更多的控制权和价值。

  • Kaia + LineNext 的组合:Kaia 是一个基于 BFT 的公共区块链,旨在满足企业级的可靠性和性能标准。Kaia 的设计目标包括实现交易的即时最终确认、高速的交易处理能力、降低区块链应用的运行成本、减少终端用户的进入门槛,以及促进各行业的技术采用。Kaia 区块链的核心规格包括 1 秒的区块生成和确认时间,处理能力达到每秒 4, 000 笔交易,约为以太坊的 1/10 的 gas,并兼容以太坊虚拟机(EVM),支持 Solidity 合约。此外,Kaia 由全球知名企业组成的 Kaia 治理委员会进行治理,确保其透明性和可靠性。其中,Kaia 会和风靡亚洲的聊天软件 Line 合作,试图让 Telegram 小程序的辉煌重现在 Line 上。

除此之外,SuperWalk 等老牌 GameFi 项目和 Shib 这样的 Meme 项目都设置了展位,也都引起了广泛关注,现场活动的气氛都很火爆。值得一提的是,Sahara AI 在 side event 中吸引参与者的方式颇具创意:他们邀请了前 IZONE 女团成员权恩妃和韩国组合 Dynamic Duo 进行现场演出,韩流气息浓厚的表演让现场气氛异常火爆。

与美国会议中大家聚在酒吧畅饮聊天的方式不同,韩国的社交方式更倾向于亚洲风格,有参会者透露,有时候的应酬多到可能一天要吃两顿晚饭,还要加上夜宵。同时,韩国流行的烧酒或者炸鸡啤酒文化让不少刚到韩国的参会者无所适从,所以也出现了参会者醉倒在路边的“名场面”。有 X 平台上的人直言,KBW 最大的收获就是:

KBW 本次会议在市场摇摆不定的关键时间点,仍然吸引了从全亚洲和环太平洋加密世界的大规模参与,不仅值得来自亚洲的项目方们参加,也让加密世界看到了在这个时间点参会者的信心。

When Futu Turns into a Matchmaking Corner: Overseas Identity Becomes the Hard Currency for the Middle Class

When Futu Becomes a Matchmaking Corner: Overseas Status as the New Hard Currency for China's Middle Class Following a severe penalty announcement from Chinese regulators on May 22nd targeting offshore brokerages like Futu, its app community unexpectedly transformed into an impromptu matchmaking platform. Users posted相亲 (matchmaking) requests, explicitly seeking partners with overseas residency or citizenship, revealing a stark new reality: for China's middle class, an overseas identity has become a crucial asset. The regulatory crackdown, which restricts mainland Chinese residents from opening new accounts to buy overseas securities like US stocks, has sharply escalated the value of a foreign passport or permanent residency. This status now acts as a gateway to global asset allocation—including US equities, offshore property, and foreign currency deposits—effectively becoming a new form of "hard currency." Its scarcity, non-transferability (except through marriage, inheritance, etc.), and role as a hedge against domestic uncertainty have driven its premium. The article traces the evolution of how China's middle class views overseas resources: from an investment for opportunity (2000s), to risk diversification (2010s), and now to a mandatory "insurance policy" for financial access. With the regulatory window closing for many, the demand is shifting towards securing such status for the next generation through international education. The surreal scene of high-performing investors posting dating resumes underscores a 2026 where financial talent can be secondary to the right passport.

Understanding Bound in One Article: The "Multi-signature + Timelock" Escape Mechanism and the Off-Chain Matching Black Box

**Title**: Understanding Bound: The Escape Mechanism of "Multi-Sig + Time Lock" and the Off-Chain Matching Black Box **Summary**: Bound Exchange, evolved from the earlier radFi platform, introduces a novel approach to Bitcoin trading by combining self-custody security with exchange-like speed. Its core mechanism relies on a 2-of-2 multi-signature (multi-sig) address for user deposits. One private key is held by the user via a passkey, and the other is held by Bound. This setup requires both keys to sign any transaction, preventing Bound from unilaterally accessing user funds (non-custodial). To address the risk of Bound becoming unavailable, a 3-month timelock is integrated into the Bitcoin script. After this period, users can withdraw their assets with just their single signature, ensuring an escape hatch. For trading, Bound operates a concentrated liquidity AMM. However, as Bitcoin L1 lacks smart contracts, the AMM curve, liquidity management, and trade price calculations occur off-chain in Bound's backend database. On-chain Bitcoin transactions serve only as final settlement receipts for pre-determined amounts. This creates a centralization point: the critical sequence of trade execution—which determines the exact price along the curve for each order—is managed off-chain by Bound in a non-transparent "black box." While the 2-of-2 setup protects user本金 (principal), the pricing and ordering of trades introduce potential operational MEV risks, as the order processing is invisible and unverifiable on-chain. In practice, users can also connect external wallets (like Unisat) for fully self-custodied trading, but this requires manually signing every transaction. The platform currently supports deposits of BTC and Runes only.

Amid Internal and External Challenges, Is Ethereum's Neutral Route Still Viable?

"Ethereum is facing a dual crisis of market pressure and internal challenges. Its native token ETH is in a mid-term downtrend, with negative sentiment prevailing, weak price action, and significant outflows from ETFs. The ETH/BTC ratio has hit a ten-month low, and institutional holdings have shrunk. Concurrently, the Ethereum Foundation has seen a major exodus of core personnel following its commitment to a neutral, non-commercial development roadmap focused on censorship resistance, openness, privacy, and security (CROPS). This stance has sparked debate. Critics, including former members, argue that the ecosystem lacks a dedicated, well-funded entity to promote ETH's commercial value and compete with rival chains. Proposals suggest creating a new, independent body to drive adoption and token value, forming a dual-model with the Foundation. While some investors view the personnel changes as normal turnover and remain bullish on Ethereum's long-term fundamentals, the immediate path forward is unclear. Analysts believe Ethereum must execute its technical roadmap (like upcoming upgrades), clarify governance, and focus on high-value sectors like DeFi and tokenization to convert its technological edge into a compelling investment thesis. The current downturn tests whether its decentralized model can adapt to balance core principles with commercial competitiveness."

Technology Has No Barriers, 24/7 Trading is the Key to Hyperliquid's Success

The article argues that Hyperliquid's competitive edge lies not in technological superiority but in its 24/7 trading model, which fundamentally challenges traditional finance's fixed market hours. Based in Singapore with an 11-person team, Hyperliquid has generated significant revenue and trading volume. Its core advantage is the ability to facilitate trading continuously, including during weekends when major exchanges like the CME are closed. This was demonstrated when Hyperliquid listed a SpaceX pre-IPO perpetual contract on a Sunday, allowing the market to price the company hours before traditional institutions opened. This disruption has drawn regulatory scrutiny from traditional giants like CME and ICE, who cite risks like lack of KYC and market manipulation. However, the article suggests their concern stems from Hyperliquid eroding the "time monopoly" of established markets. The piece contrasts Hyperliquid's synthetic derivatives—pure price-betting contracts with no underlying asset or centralized issuer—with other models like PreStocks (dependent on real股权) and Ondo (licensed but targetable). Hyperliquid's code-based, decentralized structure makes it resilient to takedowns, even if founders face legal action. Ultimately, the author concludes that while it raises legitimate regulatory questions, Hyperliquid's "unforgeable" competitive barrier is the time advantage of non-stop trading, a feature legacy systems cannot replicate.

New Information Laundering in Prediction Markets: How Secrets Blend into Investment Signals

"The New Information Laundering in Prediction Markets: How Secrets Infiltrate Investment Signals In late February 2026, nine linked anonymous wallets on Polymarket placed over 80 bets on specific details of a US-Iran war, winning over $2.4 million with a 98% win rate. This exemplifies 'information laundering'—a destructive flaw inherent to prediction markets. These markets function by aggregating trader supply and demand on an order book to set prices, which represent collective probability estimates. This makes them valuable real-time sentiment indicators for institutions. However, the system cannot distinguish between public information and stolen secrets. Confidential information enters one end, and 'clean' market prices—bearing no trace of their illicit origin—emerge from the other. For example, an insider knowing of an imminent strike can buy contracts at low odds, pushing the price up and disguising the secret as a savvy market signal, then profit massively when the event occurs. Analysts can sometimes uncover these schemes due to the blockchain's transparency, as seen with Bubblemaps. Paradoxically, this same transparency can inadvertently broadcast secrets to adversarial observers, providing them with low-cost intelligence. Current laws, like insider trading regulations focused on corporate information, fail to address this issue, especially concerning events like military actions with no 'issuer.' Jurisdictional challenges are amplified as platforms operate offshore, easily bypassing national bans with VPNs. Recent US congressional investigations and proposed bills aim to ban war betting and trading on non-public information by officials. The core issue is that information laundering is not a bug but a feature: a market that perfectly converts knowledge into price will inherently reward those with the best information, including those who obtained it illicitly. As prediction markets grow, potentially reaching hundreds of billions in volume, society must confront whether it can tolerate a machine that profitably transforms its most guarded secrets into public, tradable numbers."
