2024 年亚洲区块链大会(ABS 2024)和 TON Open Summit 在台北举行,DWF Labs 旗下的投资机构 DWF Ventures 在会后从市场情绪、加密流动性、VC 共识、TON 生态系统和台湾加密社区角度分享了一些参会观点。Odaily 星球日报对其进行了编译,供读者参考。

市场情绪变化

叙事变化:过去三个季度中许多重要的叙事(如再质押、并行 EVM、AI、BTC L2 等)热度已经逐渐下降,尤其是在山寨币市场尚未完全复苏的情况下。

回归基本面:当市场变得不再那么活跃时,社区倾向于采取更保守的做法。人们开始将注意力从炒作和投机转向更基础的工作,如改进协议设计、构建产品,以及推动现实世界的采用和发展。

加密货币流动性

新的流动性:加密市场希望下一次大规模的流动性注入能够推动行业向前发展,尤其是在比特币和以太坊 ETF 获批后,未能带来预期中的大量新资本注入的情况下。

山寨币供应:虽然加密货币的整体流动性有所增加,但仍无法跟上不断增长的山寨币供应量。

下一个流动性催化剂:在接下来的几个月里,社区密切关注的关键影响因素是美联储降息和美国大选。

VC 共识

VC 布局:大部分 VC 已经放慢了资本投入的速度,但 DWF Ventures 仍在积极寻找优质且估值合理的投资机会。

对 TON 的兴趣:许多风险投资公司(包括总部位于美国的风投公司),都对探索 TON 生态系统及其中项目的潜力表现出兴趣。然而,大多数仍在评估哪些垂直领域和项目值得投资。

TON 生态系统

币安上币:在 Open Summit 期间,币安上架了 TON 代币,这是对 TON 生态系统的利好。

开发者增长:在过去两个季度中,TON 上的开发者数量迅速增长,其中中国开发者数量的增长最为显著。中国开发者在用户吸引力方面富有创新性,如 Catizen 在游戏机制中加入每日链上签到,并使用 TikTok 风格的病毒式传播短视频作为营销工具。同时,像 TONX 这样的社区也在努力扩大 TON 的开发者网络。

关于小程序:TON 旨在通过其小程序和 Telegram 的分销渠道最大化他们的影响力。TON 最近宣布与 Cocos Engine 和腾讯云建立战略合作伙伴关系,以利用它们的游戏引擎和资源。同时,Catizen 在 TON 上推出了 Citizen Game Center,为玩家提供了超 200 个小游戏。

Tap-to-Earn 之外的垂直领域:虽然 TON 以其 Tap-to-Earn 游戏(如 Notcoin 和 Hamster Kombat)闻名,但该生态系统中其他的垂直领域也值得观察。其中包括微信风格的小游戏、短视频流媒体、社交平台(如约会平台)等。

DeFi:TON 上的 DeFi 正在逐步发展,仍有很大的提升空间。其 TVL 增长和 USDT 的集成有助于提升 DeFi 的采用率。

台湾加密社区

建设者驱动:在台湾,加密建设者的数量比 VC 和加密机构还多。其中大多数为 Solana 和 Sui 等生态系统工作,旨在扩大该生态系统在台湾的社区。

KOL 社区:KOL 文化在台湾特别受欢迎。因此,能经常在社区中看到 𝕏 和 Youtube 上的 KOL 。

Foundation Steps Back, Ethlabs Steps Forward: Ethereum Undergoes Its Largest Restructuring in History

On June 23rd, the Ethereum ecosystem witnessed two major shifts, signaling a significant governance realignment. First, former Ethereum Foundation researchers established Ethlabs, a new independent non-profit. Backed by major ETH holders like Bitmine and SharpLink, Ethlabs aims to address practical needs for institutional adoption, including faster settlement, native asset issuance, cross-chain transactions, and mainnet scaling. Secondly, the Ethereum Foundation announced a major restructuring, laying off 54 employees (20% of its staff) to become a leaner entity focused on protocol governance and maintenance rather than being the primary builder. This move represents a pivotal correction. Criticisms had mounted over the Foundation's perceived slowness, lack of clear strategy, and over-reliance on Vitalik Buterin's influence. Ethlabs emerges as a more execution-oriented, "industrialized" layer focused on market adoption—bridging the gap between research and real-world use. Notably, Vitalik Buterin is absent from its list of supporters, interpreted as an intentional step to avoid excessive personal endorsement and allow the organization to build independent credibility. The Ethereum Foundation's downsizing and redefinition mark a retreat from its former central coordinating role. It now aims to share the "privilege of stewarding Ethereum" with other emerging groups like Ethlabs, the Ethereum Applications Guild, and The Ethereum Economic Zone. Analysts frame this dual shift as the Foundation ensuring Ethereum remains "correct" (credibly neutral), while Ethlabs must prove it remains "effective" (competitive and attractive for capital and adoption). This addresses community "shareholder-like anxiety" about ETH's market performance. While risks exist—such as concerns over shifting from Foundation centrality to large-holder influence—the consensus is that the greater risk for Ethereum was inaction, caught between technical idealism and organizational inertia. These steps aim to create a more multi-stakeholder, execution-driven future for the network.

Second Half of U.S. Crypto Policy: The Clarity Act Aims for 60 Votes, CFTC's "One-Person Commission" Becomes Biggest Variable

In a pivotal year for US crypto policy, the "CLARITY Act" is advancing in the Senate but faces a high hurdle, needing 60 votes to pass. Key challenges include bridging partisan divides on ethics and swaying undecided Republican senators within a tight legislative calendar of only about 40 working days. The policy "second half" involves intense negotiations on a broader framework for Web3 and DeFi, including crypto tax reforms and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. A significant uncertainty is the understaffed CFTC, operating with four commissioner vacancies, which complicates regulatory clarity. Meanwhile, the departure of key "crypto champions"—SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and Senator Cynthia Lummis—will impact ongoing policy efforts. Industry experts are cautiously optimistic but realistic. Sara K. Weed notes that while progress is being made, CLARITY is unlikely to pass this Congress, pushing agencies like the SEC and CFTC to provide more guidance. Sulolit Mukherjee suggests meaningful crypto tax legislation is more likely to be attached to larger must-pass bills. Rashan Colbert discusses the jurisdictional debate over prediction markets, emphasizing the need for a regulatory framework that fosters their development as financial tools rather than treating them broadly as gambling. The clock is ticking, but opportunities remain for substantive progress through continued bipartisan dialogue and pragmatic efforts.

Dan Koe's New Essay: Escaping the Fate of the Wage Slave, How to Survive the AI Replacement Wave?

Dan Koe argues that the true threat in the AI era isn't technology itself, but a reliance on others for one's livelihood and happiness. The core problem is "wage slavery"—spending life on unfulfilling work. To survive and thrive, one must escape this by building their own enterprise. The key is developing five elements: Agency (initiative), Taste (discernment), Persuasion, Persistence, and Iteration. These boil down to problem-solving skills and experiential knowledge, which cannot be learned passively but only through doing your own projects. The solution is to become "unemployable" by shifting your identity. This requires: 1) Radically changing your environment to force growth, 2) Choosing a medium (like content creation) that provides real feedback through trial and error, and 3) Mastering either code or, preferably, media (content). Content creation is more valuable because its subjective nature and need for human perspective create a durable advantage over generic AI output. To start, define your life's work by answering foundational questions about your innate knowledge, unique abilities, and contrarian beliefs. Then, immediately act by publishing your first piece of content. The cycle of creating, receiving feedback, and iterating is the essential path to developing the skills needed for an independent, meaningful career and financial resilience.

Research Report Analysis: Morgan Stanley Details SanDisk SNDK, The Truth About Cloud Data Center Pricing Power and AI Inference Benefits

Morgan Stanley raised its price target for SanDisk (SNDK) from $1100 to $1750 on June 22, maintaining an Overweight rating. The upgrade is driven by AI inference demand reshaping the NAND market, particularly for KV Cache and context window storage in cloud data centers. These cloud clients exhibit price inelasticity and sign long-term contracts, granting SanDisk significant pricing power. SanDisk's New Business Model (NBM) agreements, covering over one-third of FY27 bit shipments with 3-5 year terms and fixed price/price collar structures, are crucial. They are projected to sustain gross margins around 80% even at floor prices, providing a buffer against cyclical downturns. Morgan Stanley forecasts gross margins to surge from 30.3% in FY25 to 86.7% in FY27e. With NAND supply expected to remain tight into 2026/2027 and cloud/data centers becoming the largest end-market, SanDisk holds supply-side pricing power. The company targets 15-19% bit growth via technology transitions, not capacity expansion. Revenue is projected to grow ~6.6x from FY25 to FY27, with EPS rising from $2.74 to $14.73, driven by high-margin cloud business. Key upside catalysts include faster enterprise SSD adoption and edge AI growth. Downside risks involve slower industry growth, competitor capex increases, market share loss, and competition from Chinese players like YMTC. The investment thesis rests on AI-driven structural demand, NBM's margin protection, and sustained supply tightness. The $1750 target implies ~28x FY27e P/E.
