Acala携手9个Polkadot平行链团队以及众多顶级风投基金共同发起了2.5亿美金的「aUSD生态基金」,以支持和孵化在Polkadot与Kusama生态平行链中利用aUSD来构建应用程序的初创团队。这个生态基金的主要目的是寻找那些利用Solidity或Substrate框架来驱动aUSD产生多种收益机会或实用性的项目,其中包含MoneyMarket、DEX、衍生资产、资产管理、DAO、Payment与其他应用。如果你想了解更多或申请「aUSD生态基金」的支持,可至文末查看申请链接。

aUSD的起源

三年前,在新西兰的奥克兰,Acala四位联合创始人(Bette、Bryan、Ruitao和Fuyao)在对比了市面上以太坊扩容方案ETH2.0与Cosmos等跨链网络后,选择了基于Polkadot建立专注于DeFi领域的平行链网络。Acala创立之初源于对跨链、原生、去中心化稳定资产的需求,而长远目标是成为推动Polkadot未来经济的「基石」。经过可靠的产品与技术验证后,Acala团队为Polkadot生态推出了基于加密资产、超额抵押且去中心化的稳定资产模型。因为想要搭建数百个网络组合的经济生态,那么就需要一种安全、可靠与稳定的资产来承担市场中的「驱动引擎」。

除了强大的稳定资产,Acala团队还期待通过释放流动性的方式助力Polkadot生态实现一个健康、良性的加密资产市场。目前DOT最大的应用场景聚焦在Crowdloan与Staking中,但通过简单的质押、DOT并不能在经济生态中承担更多角色,因为任何健康的经济生态的发展都需要合理的负债来推动。为了让Polkadot经济生态更具有活力,aUSD可以帮助用户利用基础储备资产(如DOT、KSM、ACA、KAR)以及平行链资产(Parachaintoken)、BTC或ETH等跨链资产来获得额外的流动性。因为用户可以将这些资产进行抵押来铸造aUSD,以此来增加赚取更多收益的机会,同时依然持有现有储备资产的所有权。

三年后,在2022年2月9日,aUSD正式推出!Acala整个核心团队和社区正朝着aUSD的增长这一共同目标前进!了解更多《进展|Acala网络推出首个波卡去中心化原生跨链稳定币——aUSD》

Polkadot的多链经济

Polkadot作为长期研究革命性区块链技术的团队,致力于实现真正的去中心化技术。任何在Polkadot生态中构建的团队,无论是平行链还是DApp,都能享受到Polkadot中继链所带来的即插即用的共享安全性。平行链团队之所以选择Polkadot,还有一个重要的原因是Polkadot所承诺提供的原生且去中心化的跨链功能,因为这允许资产和数据在无需跨链桥的情况下就能在网络之间自由流动,并且用户使用友好。为了实现这一愿景,平行链团队正在不断推进合作,开始跨链互动。

以近期即将上线的平行链产品为例:

Acala通过DeFi平台提供了aUSD作为Dotsama生态系统中的基础稳定资产

Moonbeam提供完全兼容Ethereum的平台

AstarNetwork推出了WASM+EVM的平台

Manta提供加密资产隐私技术

Centrifuge链接了现实世界的资产融资

Efinity带来非功能性测试、游戏、和元宇宙平台

HydraDX带来专业的DEX链

OriginTrail带来去中心化的知识图谱

Parallel提供了多链DeFi产品平台

Zeitgeist推出预测市场应用与Futarchy(一种政府通过预测市场来治理的形式)

一旦所有这些链开始产生协同效应,Polkadot网络的增长将呈现指数效应。

平行链之间最基本的合作方法之一是建立与Polkadot稳定资产aUSD相关的流动性、资产对、收益机会以及实用性的应用场景。Acala与以上提到的9个团队已经开始进行合作探索,将会以aUSD作为生态持续发展的基石,并在未来的几十年里,随着Web3概念蔓延到全球经济中,相信会有数以百计的应用实现蓬勃发展。

JumpCrypto总裁KanavKariya表示:“随着Polkadot功能不断完善以及平行链的陆续上线,相信Acala将会成为Polkadot生态中最佳的去中心化稳定资产与DeFi经济中心。对于Jump来说,我们期待与团队合作,并参与生态投资,希望有更多的团队在更广泛的生态系统中加速创新。”

Acala联合创始人BetteChen表示:“过去三年多来,建立Polkadot和Kusama生态原生去中心化稳定资产一直是Acala的核心工作,很高兴能看到这么多优秀的平行链团队和顶级风投基金加入一起推动以aUSD为基础的跨链生态。”

Will Changxin Technology Continue to Rise Today?

Changxin Technology made a historic debut on the stock market, with its share price soaring 465.82% to close at 49 yuan. Its market capitalization reached 3.28 trillion yuan, surpassing Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to become the largest company by market cap on the A-share market. Daily trading volume exceeded 140 billion yuan, a first in A-share history. This created a moment of realization for 7.7 million investors who won the lottery for its shares. On the first day, investor strategies varied: some sold immediately and later regretted missing intraday highs, others secured profits to avoid future volatility, while a third group held or even bought more shares, betting on long-term growth. The staggering IPO, massive public enthusiasm, and debut during a peak industry cycle led some to compare Changxin to PetroChina's 2007 listing, which was followed by a long decline. Key similarities noted include comparable fundraising scales (approx. 666 billion yuan for Changxin vs. 668 billion for PetroChina) and both companies listing at a perceived high point in their respective commodity cycles (oil then, memory chips now). However, analysts caution against over-simplifying the comparison. They highlight core differences: Changxin operates in the high-growth semiconductor sector with strong "domestic substitution" tailwinds. Brokerages like Huaxi Securities project significant revenue and profit growth from 2026 to 2028, driven by DDR5 adoption, product mix optimization, and economies of scale. Nomura Securities issued a "buy" rating with a 116 yuan target price, citing AI-driven demand for DRAM, tight supply as major players shift to HBM production, and Changxin's vast room for market share growth. Some analysts position the current memory cycle, fueled by AI, as just beginning, contrasting with the mature energy cycle PetroChina entered. The article concludes that for investors, monitoring the memory cycle's progression and Changxin's breakthroughs in high-end technologies like HBM will be crucial, rather than relying on superficial historical parallels.

Claude Designer Lags Behind Engineers, Fires Back by Creating a Million-User Tool

The article tells the story of Nate Parrott, a designer at Anthropic who created Claude Design as a side project to keep pace with his engineering teammates. When Anthropic released Opus 4.5 in November 2025, the two engineers on Parrott's Claude Code team significantly increased their output using the new AI capabilities. Parrott, the sole designer, found himself struggling to match their speed, becoming a bottleneck in the workflow. To catch up, he began experimenting in his spare time. He initially tried prompting Claude to generate designs from text descriptions and screenshots, with limited success. His breakthrough came when he shifted focus from asking Claude to "design" to asking it to generate HTML. He realized HTML could be a rich visual canvas for creating everything from slides and interactive prototypes to full web pages. He built a simple interface with a chat panel on the left and a live HTML preview on the right. The key to making the output useful was incorporating Anthropic's brand system—fonts, colors, assets, and design principles—into the prompts. This ensured generated designs were immediately on-brand. He shared an internal prototype with his team, and other product designers quickly adopted it for creating clickable prototypes, a task traditionally requiring manually drawing every state. The project's "official" turning point came during an Anthropic Labs offsite, where Parrott noticed many attendees were using his tool to build presentation slides on the fly, sometimes right before their turn to speak. This organic adoption convinced the Labs team to formally staff the project, turning the side project into a real product. Claude Design is positioned as a "pre-production" tool for visual communication and exploration—handling slides, landing pages, PDFs, emails, and social media graphics. It integrates with tools like Canva, Adobe, and Vercel. Its core value is accelerating the early stages of design: exploring directions, building consensus, and establishing systems. For actual production code, Anthropic still recommends Claude Code. The story highlights how AI disrupts workflows unevenly and how individuals can respond by building new tools to create their own advantages. Parrott's tool, born from necessity, eventually gained over a million users in its first week.

Fields Medalist Warns: AI Could Kill Mathematics

The 2026 Fields Medal award was followed by a startling announcement: laureate Jacob Tsimerman joined OpenAI to pursue AI safety research, predicting AI would surpass humans in all mathematical proof areas within two years. Soon after, Fields Medalists Terence Tao and Timothy Gowers expressed deep concern at ICM 2026. Gorges warned that AI might "kill" mathematics not through stagnation, but through an overwhelming surplus of proofs, likening it to a lake dying from eutrophication. This concern is echoed in the "Leiden Declaration," signed by over 3,000 mathematicians including Tao, Peter Scholze, and Kevin Buzzard, advocating for mathematics as a profoundly human endeavor. However, Gowers, who did not sign, fears a future where AI-generated mathematics proliferates while human expertise and the shared intuition vital to the field vanish, turning math into an unvisited "cemetery of thought." Gowers' perspective shifted dramatically after testing ChatGPT 5.5 Pro. The AI solved a doctoral-level number theory problem and later produced a counterexample for the "unit distance problem," achievements Gorges considered publishable in top journals. He now concedes that large language models can handle advanced research, a realization that left him feeling the "rug pulled out from under" him when AI solved problems he personally contemplated. The debate extends to the nature of mathematical discovery. As noted by Peter Woit, AI agents have no interest in the "credit game" of academia. If theorems cease to be attributed to individual mathematicians, truth may simply return to its impersonal state in the universe. The central question remains: in an age of potentially limitless AI-generated discovery, what is the role and purpose of the human mind in mathematics?

NVIDIA's 20-Year CUDA Moat Collapsed Over a Weekend, Claude Single-Handedly Got AMD's New GPU Running

In a single weekend, Claude, an AI agent from Anthropic, successfully ported and optimized its cutting-edge model to run on a brand-new AMD MI355X server rack without any manual code intervention. This feat demonstrates a potential breakthrough in overcoming NVIDIA's long-established CUDA software ecosystem dominance, built over two decades. Anthropic's team simply instructed Claude to get the AMD machine running. By Monday, it not only worked but was showing a continuously improving performance curve. The achievement impressed AMD CEO Lisa Su and accelerated a major deployment partnership: Anthropic plans to deploy up to 2GW of AMD Instinct GPUs starting in 2027. The key enabler is AMD's new ROCm.AI platform, a toolbox designed specifically for AI agents like Claude. It provides AI-readable documentation, including chip instruction sets (ISA), and tools like the Hyperloom service that allows agents to autonomously profile performance, identify bottlenecks, test configurations, and generate optimized kernels. In a demo, Hyperloom boosted the output speed of a model by 38%. This represents a fundamental shift. While CUDA's strength lies in its vast, human-expert-driven ecosystem of tools and tacit knowledge, AMD's strategy is to make its hardware and software stack directly accessible and optimizable by AI agents. An agent can parallelize tasks—debugging, profiling, coding—that would take human engineers years to master, compressing the traditional software adaptation timeline from years to tasks. The competition is no longer just about peak hardware specs but also about how well AI can read, utilize, and tune a platform.

Just Now, Peking University Alumna Lilian Weng Announces Resignation: The Best 'Alignment' in the AI Era Is Taking Care of Yourself

Lilian Weng, a Peking University alumnus and former OpenAI executive, has announced her departure from Thinking Machines Lab, the AI startup she co-founded with ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati 20 months ago. Her resignation comes shortly after the company released its first open-source model, Inkling. In her farewell message, Weng cited health reasons as the primary factor, stating that the past seven months involved more illness than any other period in her life. The intense pressure and guilt of being unable to work during critical periods, like the Inkling launch, became unsustainable. She expressed that she could not continue in a role where she felt unable to give her full effort. Weng joined OpenAI in 2018, contributing to projects like the Dactyl robotic hand and later building the Safety Systems team from scratch. She is also widely known for her influential technical blog, Lil'Log. Her departure follows a period of high expectations and challenges for Thinking Machines, which secured a record $20 billion seed round at a $120 billion valuation in 2025 but has since seen fluctuations in its valuation and the departure of other key co-founders. Weng emphasized that she remains passionate about AI but needs a more predictable and defined role without the relentless pressure of a co-founder. Her exit highlights the immense personal toll and speed of competition in the AI industry, where the drive for progress often clashes with human limits. Her decision underscores that stepping back to prioritize well-being can be an act of courage.
