marsbit2025-03-14 tarihinde yayınlandı2025-03-15 tarihinde güncellendi

在 Hack VC,我们专注于投资早期的 Web3 基础设施、人工智能和去中心化金融项目,支持那些突破可能性边界的创始人。Berachain 是 Web3 基础设施领域的一个杰出代表,也是我们投资组合中的完美选择。Berachain 是当今 Web3 领域中最具创新性的产品之一。

通过解决区块链生态系统中的一些最大痛点,Berachain 的架构和独特机制为可扩展性、资本效率、跨链流动性和长期价值创造提供了一条可行的路径。

我们对 Berachain 的投资逻辑源于其协议如何解决现有生态系统中的对齐挑战。以下我们详细阐述了在初始投资时,基于市场问题以及我们认为 Berachain 能够提供的解决方案所定义的多个要素。


以太坊的可扩展性限制了创新

问题:

以太坊的 EVM(以太坊虚拟机)仍然是智能合约的黄金标准。然而,其单一架构将吞吐量限制在每秒 15-30 笔交易(TPS),最终确认时间约为 13 分钟。因此,开发者不得不在 EVM 兼容性和性能之间做出选择。与以太坊竞争的其他链为了追求速度,本质上牺牲了 EVM 支持,导致了流动性和工具碎片化。即使是以太坊的 Layer 2 解决方案也继承了缓慢的最终确认时间,并依赖中心化的排序器,导致高费用、慢交易和孤立的流动性。

Berachain 的解决方案:

  • 模块化 EVM 的相同架构:Berachain 将共识(CometBFT)与执行(未修改的以太坊执行客户端,如 Geth、Reth 等)分离,从而实现并行交易处理,同时保持 EVM 字节码兼容性。
  • 单槽最终确认:Berachain 通过 CometBFT 实现了单槽最终确认和低于 2 秒的区块时间。
  • 测试网性能:Berachain 的测试网实现了超过 1,000 TPS,并通过 LayerZero 连接了 20 多条链,实现了无缝的跨链资产转移。


质押资本被困在非生产性角色中

问题在于:

在以太坊和 Avalanche 等权益证明(PoS)链中,超过 1,140 亿美元的资产被锁定在验证者中,只能获得微薄的收益(通常为 3-5% 年化收益率),同时无法用于 DeFi。流动性质押代币(如 Lido 的 stETH)试图解决这一问题,但引入了对手风险和治理中心化。此外,验证者被激励优先考虑质押奖励而非生态系统增长,导致网络安全与用户效用之间的错位。


Berachain 的解决方案:

  • 流动性证明(PoL):验证者通过将流动性引导至 BEX(Berachain 的去中心化交易所)、Bend(Berachain 的借贷协议)或其他基于链构建的第三方应用程序来获得治理权(BGT),从而将激励与生态系统增长对齐。
  • BGT 灵魂绑定代币:流动性提供者是这些不可转让的治理代币的唯一接收者,确保影响力始终掌握在生态系统的参与者手中(例如,在 BEX 中质押 BERA/wETH LP 代币)。


流动性在跨链中碎片化

问题:

跨链互操作性仍然是 Web3 最薄弱的环节之一。跨链桥通常不可靠,已经有数十亿美元因跨链桥活动而被盗。Cosmos 的 IBC 协议缺乏原生 EVM 支持,隔离了以太坊超过 450 亿美元的 DeFi 生态系统。这种碎片化迫使开发者为每条链重建工具,并让用户承担高滑点和费用。


Berachain 的解决方案:

  • 在协议层面原生激励流动性整合
  • BEX DEX:“环境流动性”池聚合了跨链流动性。虽然大多数流动性池仅限于特定交易对(如 USDC/ETH),但环境流动性池提供了一种动态机制,使流动性可以在 Berachain 生态系统中的多种资产和交易对之间使用。由于流动性不再局限于特定交易对,价格发现和做市可以变得更加高效。
  • EVM 工具兼容性:全面支持以太坊 RPC、Foundry 和 Hardhat,为开发者提供快速的跨链 dApp 部署。


通胀性代币经济学侵蚀长期价值

问题:

大多数链依赖通胀性代币的发行来引导流动性。除了稀释效应外,分配动态还激励了可能会因内部抛售压力而加剧的短期资本。即使是像以太坊 EIP-1559 这样的“通缩”模型也无法抵消质押发行,而 veToken 系统(如 Curve)则过度集中了治理权。


Berachain 的解决方案——三币模型:

  • BERA:一种固定供应量的 Gas 代币,具有通缩机制——BERA 以与 EIP-1559 相同的方式被销毁。
  • BGT:一种通过提供流动性获得的不可转让的治理代币。BGT 可以 1:1 兑换为 BERA,从而创造通缩循环的潜力。
  • HONEY:一种原生稳定币资产,用于去碎片化中心化稳定币流动性,并作为生态系统中的通用稳定单位。

在清晰理解 Web3 面临的关键挑战以及 Berachain 的创新方法如何解决这些挑战之后,下一步是评估这一愿景如何转化为切实的成果。Berachain 已经展现了令人瞩目的发展势头,表明其生态系统不仅具有可行性,而且为长期影响做好了准备。以下我们简要展示了这一逻辑的实践情况。


迄今为止的进展

  1. 开发者活动:180 个团队正在 Berachain 的主网上积极构建,涵盖 DeFi、RWAs、NFTs、GameFi 等领域。
  2. 社区增长:Berachain 的社区呈指数级增长,拥有超过 10 万名 Discord 和 Telegram 成员以及 100 万以上的 X 平台粉丝。其发布前的市场关注度也在行业内名列前茅。
  3. Boyco:Berachain 的流动性引导平台已成为其生态系统的基石,截至 2025 年 1 月吸引了 21 亿美元的总锁定价值(TVL)。项目创建流动性市场,用户存入资产(如 ETH、BTC、稳定币)以换取未来奖励(如代币、积分或 NFT)。Boyco 确保 Berachain 在启动时拥有深度流动性,减少首日滑点。
  4.   关键金库(Key Vaults)
  5. Stakestone ETH 金库:允许用户存入封装比特币(如 WBTC、cbBTC)并赚取 BERA 奖励。
  6. EtherFi BTC 金库:允许用户存入封装比特币(如 WBTC、cbBTC)并赚取 BERA 奖励。
  7. Bong Bear NFTs:Bong Bears NFT 系列已成为 Berachain 生态系统中的文化现象。这些 NFT 是参与生态系统的入口,为持有者提供独家治理提案、空投和社区活动的访问权限。

Berachain 对区块链基础设施的创新方法解决了可扩展性、资本效率、流动性碎片化和代币经济学中的关键挑战。其流动性证明共识机制和三币模型将验证者、开发者和用户的激励对齐,促进了一个凝聚力强且蓬勃发展的生态系统。Hack VC 很高兴支持这一项目,并期待其在 Web3 不可避免的增长中发挥重要作用。

Doubao and Qwen Will Discontinue Agent Functionality on July 15

On July 4th, Doubao and Tongyi Qianwen announced the impending shutdown of their user-created "AI Agent" features. Doubao confirmed its agent feature will be taken offline on July 15, directing users to ByteDance's CatBox app for similar needs. On the same day, Tongyi Qianwen notified users, specifying that personalized interactive agents and user-built agent functions will cease on July 10, with all agent features and services completely deactivated by July 15. After this date, access to agent configurations and historical chat records will be lost. This adjustment impacts core user scenarios like role-playing, personal assistants, and vertical tool agents. The shutdown date coincides with the official implementation of China's "Interim Measures for the Administration of Artificial Intelligence Human-like Interactive Services" on July 15. The new regulations impose strict rules on "human-like emotional interaction services," requiring platforms to implement measures like anti-addiction systems, minor verification, and content moderation. This move is widely seen as a proactive step by the platforms to align with regulatory timelines and mitigate compliance risks. Additionally, commercial challenges are a key driver. Analysis suggests that casual, human-like chat agents generate high-frequency, low-value interactions, leading to high computational costs with poor monetization. As the AI application market shifts from user growth to proving value, sustaining such "high-cost, low-efficiency" user-generated content becomes difficult. Both platforms have outlined transition plans. Doubao will allow data viewing and self-backup for a period after shutdown, with data scheduled for permanent deletion by October 15. Tongyi Qianwen similarly advised users to save important content via copying or screenshots before the deadline. This strategic retreat from C-end agent features signals a broader market shift. Compliance capability and sustainable business models are replacing user scale and feature richness as the new core competitive dimensions. Tongyi Qianwen's recent move to fully open its Agent and Skill platforms to third-party enterprises and developers further underscores a strategic pivot from low-value C-end services to high-value B-end enterprise scenarios.

Why Did Codex and ChatGPT Merge? What's Next for Codex? OpenAI Core Leader Answers Everything

In 2026, OpenAI's Codex saw explosive growth, with weekly active users surging over 5x to 5 million since January, driven largely by the February launch of its desktop app. Codex desktop lead Andrew Ambrosino explains key shifts behind its evolution. A core change is the inversion of development costs: implementation is now cheap, while curation and taste—judging which of many AI-generated prototypes is valuable—have become the new scarcities. Ambrosino defines taste as a blend of aesthetics, systems thinking, direction, and semantic coherence in interaction. He notes AI still struggles with design because evaluating it requires human cultural context and abstract reasoning about how components relate—capabilities beyond current models. Timing is critical: the same Codex app would have failed months earlier; success hinges on the model's capabilities at launch. Roles are blurring within his team, with engineers, designers, and PMs overlapping significantly. However, Ambrosino cautions against eliminating specialized roles entirely, as each field retains deep expertise. On AI-assisted development, the focus has shifted from measuring code written by AI to distinguishing between supervised and unsupervised generation. A current challenge is teaching models to simplify code, not just add complexity. The merger of Codex and ChatGPT stems from observed user behavior: non-developers adopted Codex for general knowledge work despite its developer-centric interface. This revealed a collapsing boundary between specialized tools and universal assistants. The vision is a "home base" that orchestrates tasks across external professional tools (like Excel or Premiere Pro) via connectors, rather than rebuilding everything internally. An internal example showed Codex helping edit video by interacting with Premiere Pro's files and even writing a plugin for it. The future direction is a unified, extensible platform that serves as a central hub for automating and managing work across any specialized tool the user employs.
