marsbit2024-09-03 tarihinde yayınlandı2024-09-04 tarihinde güncellendi

数字经济的发展凸显了中心化系统的局限性,包括缺乏透明度、安全漏洞以及新参与者的进入门槛等问题。为了应对这种情况,去中心化的 Web3 生态系统应运而生,它提供了更加开放、安全和公平的数字基础设施。 

如今,这一领域至关重要,因为它满足了对无信任交易、数字资产所有权以及跨平台互操作性日益增长的需求。然而,挑战在于让这些先进技术易于访问和扩展,以便广泛采用。Startale Labs 在 Web3 的发展和采用中发挥着关键作用。通过提供必要的基础设施和工具,他们正在帮助为去中心化的未来奠定基础,从而实现跨行业的更大自主权和创新。

我们之所以投资 Startale Labs,是因为该公司在解决 Web3 生态系统的关键挑战方面处于领先地位,它提供必要的工具和基础设施,例如 Astar Network、Soneium 和 Startale Cloud Services,这些工具和基础设施简化了去中心化应用程序 (dApp) 和智能合约的开发和部署。他们的解决方案有效地降低了高门槛、缺乏互操作性和技术复杂性等障碍,使 Web3 技术对开发者和企业来说都更容易获得和扩展。

Startale Labs 及其创始人 Sota Watanabe 在日本享有很高的声誉,日本是 Web3 创新的领先国家,得益于政府的大力支持、精通技术的人口以及大公司的大量投资。日本成熟的游戏和金融行业为推进 Web3 技术创造了理想的环境。 

Startale Labs 与索尼集团成立了一家合资企业共同开发 Soneium,为 Soneium 区块链网络的设计和实施做出贡献。他们的参与对于确保 Soneium 的强大、可扩展和能够支持下一代 dApp 至关重要。我们很高兴通过参与 Soneium Spark孵化计划来扩大与 Startale Labs 的合作伙伴关系,这是一个以建设者为中心的计划,旨在培育一个由有远见的创造者和创新者组成的社区。它的目标是将突破性的想法转化为市场就绪的解决方案,促进行业可持续的长期成功。

BIS Report Compliance Observations: The True Risks of Stablecoins Go Beyond 'De-pegging'

The BIS report, "Anchoring trust in money: innovation beyond stablecoins," highlights that the primary risks of stablecoins extend beyond potential de-pegging. It argues that the core challenge is whether stablecoins can be integrated into a financial system that is identifiable, monitorable, accountable, and regulatable. While acknowledging efficiency gains like faster payments and programmability, BIS emphasizes that money requires an institutional framework—including legal certainty, liquidity support, and financial integrity controls—which many stablecoins currently lack. The report details compliance risks, noting that while blockchain transactions are transparent, address visibility does not equate to identity or purpose clarity. This creates a systemic risk as pseudonymity, non-custodial wallets, and cross-chain bridges can undermine AML/CFT controls. Furthermore, these risks can spill over into the traditional financial system through on- and off-ramps. The future direction, per BIS, is not to prohibit innovation but to embed regulatory rules—such as identity verification and transaction screening—directly into the technological infrastructure of tokenized finance. The key takeaway for compliance is that any new financial instrument must clearly address questions of customer identification, transaction monitoring, accountability, and cross-border rule consistency to be viable as a mainstream payment tool.

When US Giants Collectively "Defect" to Chinese AI Models

When Silicon Valley Giants Turn to Chinese AI Models to Cut Costs A surprising trend is emerging: major U.S. tech companies are significantly reducing AI costs by switching to Chinese models. Coinbase, the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, reportedly halved its AI spending after migrating to China's GLM-5.2 and Kimi 2.7 models, despite increasing usage. They achieved this through a sophisticated three-part strategy: implementing an automatic routing system to select the most cost-effective model per task, boosting cache hit rates from 5% to 60% to reuse computations, and employing "context engineering" to provide AI with more precise, less cluttered information. They are not alone. AI startup Lindy switched from Claude to DeepSeek, saving millions, while Snowflake's tests found GLM-5.2 solved 66% of coding tasks compared to Claude Opus's 67%—but at a fraction of the cost (output pricing is 5-7 times lower). While the top Western models may offer slightly better stability, the massive price differential is leading many businesses to reconsider their value proposition. This shift signals a deeper change in the AI industry, moving beyond pure performance benchmarks to a fierce cost competition. As pressure mounts, even OpenAI and Anthropic have begun slashing prices. For users, this means more choices, lower costs, and a crucial lesson: using multiple models based on task complexity, optimizing with caching, and keeping contexts lean are now key to leveraging AI efficiently and affordably.

BIS Report Compliance Watch: The Real Risks of Stablecoins Are Not Just 'De-pegging'

BIS Report Compliance Observations: The real risks of stablecoins go beyond "depegging" The BIS report "Anchoring trust in money: innovation beyond stablecoins" argues that while stablecoins and tokenization offer efficiency gains, their primary risk lies in fitting into an identifiable, monitorable, accountable, and regulatable financial system. Money's trust stems not just from technology but from institutional arrangements: a common unit of account, guaranteed redemption at par, liquidity support, regulatory frameworks, and financial integrity requirements. Stablecoins, operating on permissionless blockchains with pseudo-anonymity and non-custodial wallets, create systemic compliance gaps: unclear customer identity, incomplete fund origins, unexplained transaction purposes, fragmented cross-chain paths, and ambiguous liability. On-chain transparency does not equal compliance transparency. Public addresses don't reveal identity or intent. While blockchain analytics aid law enforcement, they cannot replace routine, large-scale AML/CFT controls. Effective compliance requires a closed-loop process encompassing customer onboarding, transaction monitoring, investigation, reporting, and audit. Stablecoin risks are not confined to the blockchain; they re-enter the traditional financial system via on/off-ramps, exchanges, and payment institutions. This forces banks to monitor client accounts for activity linked to virtual assets. The future direction is not to prohibit innovation but to embed rules into the technology. Tokenized finance should integrate with the existing two-tier monetary system, embedding compliance—like customer identification, pre-transaction screening, and auditable data trails—directly into the transaction flow. For compliance professionals, the key takeaway is that any new financial instrument must answer core questions: Who identifies the customer? Who monitors transactions? Who handles exceptions? Who is liable? Compliance is not the antithesis of innovation but the essential infrastructure for its sustainable growth.

When American Giants 'Defect' to Chinese AI Models

Summary: The trend of major U.S. technology firms adopting more cost-effective Chinese AI models is gaining momentum. A prime example is Coinbase, the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, which reportedly halved its AI expenditure by switching to Chinese models GLM-5.2 and Kimi 2.7, while its usage volume increased. This was achieved through a sophisticated cost-saving system featuring intelligent model routing (selecting the most suitable model per task), dramatically improving cache hit rates from 5% to 60%, and implementing "Context Engineering" to streamline prompts. This shift is not isolated. Other companies like the AI startup Lindy and data cloud firm Snowflake are making similar moves, drawn by the significant price disparity. For instance, GLM-5.2 costs $1.40/$4.40 per million tokens (input/output), compared to $5/$25 for Claude Opus 4.7. While top Western models may offer slightly higher stability or speed in complex tasks, the performance gap is narrowing, making the price difference harder to justify for many enterprise use cases. The implications are significant for both businesses and individual users. It highlights the importance of a multi-model strategy based on task requirements, the value of caching and reusing outputs, and the effectiveness of providing concise context. Ultimately, this migration signals a potential reshaping of the AI industry's pricing model, moving competition from pure performance benchmarks to practical cost-effectiveness, with increased choice and downward price pressure benefiting end-users.
