Özet

基于比特币原生验证能力的wrapped技术方案是未来方向。

原文作者:Kevin He,BitlayerLabs 联合创始人

背景

近日关于  WBTC 项目控制权转移而引发了广泛的社区讨论和担忧。

作者在区块链基础设施方向建设多年,亲自建设了中心化 wrapped token 系统,和基于 MPC 的托管平台,当前正在建设比特币原生验证能力。

本文中,作者将会回顾事件的脉络,主要涵盖多方的实际举动和反馈,呈现事实本身。

作者基于实际系统建设经验,为 wrapped btc 的产品抽象了一个简单的架构和安全模型。

接下来作者根据免信任的程度来划分不同的产品的技术方案,指出基于比特币原生验证能力的 wrapped 技术方案是未来方向。

质疑 biT global 的资质

Wrapped BTC 的业务模型

Wrapped BTC 的业务模型其实非常简单,如下图:

观点:WBTC该升级技术方案了

wrap:

表示从 BTC 转换成 W-BTC。

wrap-house:

表示 wrap 的运作机制, 确保用户存入的 BTC 都有对应的 w-btc 在某一个账本(通常是一个区块链,例如 ETH)得到铸造,不多不少。

unwrap:

表示从 W-BTC 转换成 BTC。

unwrap-house:

表示 unwrap 的运作机制,确保用户在销毁 w-btc 之后,会有机制让他获得 Bitcoin 上的 BTC,不多不少。

对比 Trustless 程度

对比上述业务和技术模型的维度特别多,下面作者将从 wrap/unwrap 2 个方向的免信任水平来进行对比。

Non-Trustless

典型的就是 BitGO 的当前 WBTC,wrap-house 和 unwrap-house 的运作,都是由 bitgo custody 控制。

观点:WBTC该升级技术方案了

很明显,用户需要信任 BitGO custody 服务商始终能够正常工作。

Single Way Trustless

接下来再来看在 2020 年前后出现的两个有代表性的项目:tBTC/renBTC。

观点:WBTC该升级技术方案了

我们可以看到,在 x-chain(例如有完整验证能力的情况下,例如具备 evm),wrap-house 比较容易做较高水平的 trustless。

但 unwrap-house 由于受到当时技术条件的局限,只能通过阈值签名的方式来提高安全性,无论这个预支签名的做到哪种程度。

Dual Way Trustless

时间来到了 2024 年,得益于包括 BitVM/Starkware 的团队在比特币原生验证能力(包含 fraud proof 和 validity proof)的开创性尝试,随着 BitlayerLabs 等社区团队的实践落地,unwrap-house 将有望实现 trustless。

观点:WBTC该升级技术方案了

其中 fraud proof 的代表是 BitVM 及其衍生项目,指的是没有 OP_CAT 的情况下实现乐观验证,主流的实现方案是承诺和挑战 ZK 验证的过程。

Validity proof 则是在假设具备 OP_CAT 操作码的情况下,实现 ZK 的直接验证;有了 OP_CAT,锁定的 BTC 将由所谓的 covenant(类合约)来控制。

方案总结对比

横向对比上述提到的各种技术方案,可以发现基于比特币验证能力(validation)的技术方案,将会在 2 个方向上 trustless 水平有更好的表现。

观点:WBTC该升级技术方案了

总结

WBTC 在 2018 年的横空出世,拉开了将 BTC 流动性带入 DeFi 世界的序幕。后续 2020 年的 tBTC 等项目做了一部分的优化和改进,以比特币原生的验证能力为代表的 validation 技术方案,将会在双向免信任上有更好的表现。WBTC,是时候升级你的技术方案了!

Idle Macs Can Also Make Money? An Overview of Eigen Labs' Decentralized AI Inference Network Darkbloom

AI inference is becoming a crucial layer of internet infrastructure, yet it remains largely dependent on costly, capacity-limited centralized systems with potential security risks. Meanwhile, millions of powerful computers sit idle globally. Eigen Labs' Darkbloom network aims to utilize this idle capacity by enabling distributed AI inference on Mac computers, specifically those with Apple Silicon chips. Darkbloom's architecture consists of three components: users who send inference requests, a coordinator (operated by Eigen Labs) that routes these requests, and providers (Mac owners) whose machines run the models and return outputs without being able to see the request content. The system prioritizes privacy through a hardened provider process, software integrity checks, and hardware-supported attestation based on Apple's security architecture to ensure verifiable privacy. Economically, Darkbloom differs from traditional models. It leverages existing hardware, with marginal costs primarily driven by electricity, allowing it to offer pricing roughly 50% lower than major API aggregators. Providers keep 100% of the inference revenue, and the project does not rely on token subsidies; earnings come solely from real AI inference demand. However, early-stage earnings are modest, with top providers currently earning under $6 per day, influenced by factors like hardware specs, uptime, and network demand. The network currently supports models like Google's Gemma 4 and OpenAI's GPT-OSS via OpenRouter. To participate as a provider, users need an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later, must install the Darkbloom provider software, and keep the machine online with a stable internet connection.

Which Crypto Sectors Have Been "Eaten" by AI Agents?

The article examines which crypto sectors have been increasingly dominated by AI Agents and which remain human-centric. In certain high-speed, efficiency-driven areas, AI Agents have taken clear control. This includes derivatives/perpetuals trading, where bots outperform humans significantly (e.g., a contest showed 0% of AI Agents were liquidated vs. 43% of humans), arbitrage/MEV extraction, and yield optimization (with ~68% of new DeFi protocols in Q1 2026 featuring autonomous AI Agents). Spot trading and portfolio optimization are also seeing heavy Agent adoption. However, the shift is not universal. In "battleground" sectors, both Agents and humans coexist. In prediction markets, Agents dominate short-term arbitrage, but humans still outperform in long-term, nuanced judgment calls. In DeFi lending, while liquidation is automated, core deposit/borrow decisions remain largely human-driven. Sectors still firmly led by human activity include stablecoin payments and card-based spending (driven by real-world economic activity and remittances) and wallets, which serve as the crucial human-verification and approval layer. The rise of Agents increases the need for robust human-Agent verification layers. Projects like World/AgentKit, t54, Self Protocol, and Kite AI are building infrastructure to create trust, security, and accountability by binding Agents to verified human identities. In conclusion, while AI Agents have decisively "eaten" speed and optimization-focused crypto sectors, human judgment, trust, and real-world context remain dominant in areas that create broad economic value, such as payments and identity. The future likely involves a symbiotic relationship where Agents require human verification and oversight to operate effectively.

After Rising 11 Times in a Year, Micron's Earnings Report Becomes a Stress Test for the AI Memory Market

**Micron's Upcoming Earnings: A Crucial Test for the AI Memory Rally** Investors in AI memory stocks face a critical moment on June 24th, when Micron Technology reports quarterly earnings. The stock, having surged approximately 11-fold from $103 to $1,134 over the past year, carries immense market expectations. Wall Street consensus forecasts a staggering ~932% year-over-year jump in EPS to around $19.72 and ~270% revenue growth to ~$345 billion, largely driven by sold-out HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) capacity through 2026. Analysts have aggressively revised estimates upward over the last 90 days, with EPS expectations rising 68%. This creates a high bar: even strong results risk a sell-off if they fail to meet these elevated projections. Notably, price forecasts from institutions like Citi (predicting ~200% DRAM price increases in 2026) are already among the most bullish on Wall Street, not conservative. The key metric to watch is gross margin, guided to a record ~81%. Such peak profitability raises questions about sustainability in the historically cyclical memory sector. While management has signaled continued strength, the stock's direction post-earnings will likely hinge more on forward guidance for the next quarter and details on HBM capacity expansion for 2027, rather than the already-anticipated stellar past results. The report represents a major pressure test for the high-flying AI memory trade.
