Balance.io首席执行官Ric Burton最近与Uniswap的创始人HaydenAdams在推特上“开撕”,Ric Burton甚至将Hayden告上法庭,但Hayden却称这一切是谎言。这究竟是怎么回事?

加密货币市场中Uniswap仍然是DEX当之无愧的龙头,不过作为该项目的早期投资人,Balance.io首席执行官Ric Burton最近却曝出了一些Uniswap早期创业过程中不为人知的幕后故事和Uniswap的创始人HaydenAdams在推特上“开撕”,Ric Burton甚至将Hayden告上法庭,但Hayden却称这一切是谎言。

""

双方内容编译如下:

""

Ric Burton在推特发长文称,多年来,我一直想公开讲述这个故事,但是又不忍心去做,毕竟里面充满很多爱和悲伤。然而随着我生活中发生的一些变化,让我意识到一件事:一些旧故事需要公布于众,否则我将无法继续新的冒险。

""

让我们回到2018年的纽约春季,当时夏天就要到了,可加密货币行业却进入寒冬,整个市场都被抑郁情绪所笼罩。当时,我还在担任Balance.io首席执行官,那是一家在以太坊上提供接口服务的公司,创立该公司的初衷是因为我们觉得绝大多数Dapp都很糟糕。所以,我决定资助一些Dapp开发者,为他们提供金钱、时间、工作室和爱,并且投资了WalletConnect、The Graph和Uniswap等项目。

""

那时候,有一个开发者给我留下了非常深刻的印象,他就是:Hayden Adams,当时他正处于“作战”状态,每次见到他都会谈论Uniswap,我花了一段时间才搞明白这个项目,然后就被这个项目深深吸引,于是决定尽我所能为他提供帮助。

当时Hayden Adams和我关系非常密切,我们都在努力做一件事:让以太坊更加充满魔力,在尝试在一个没有太多可靠项目生态系统中建立初创公司的过程中,我和HaydenAdams彼此支持,我也非常钦佩他的坚韧和专注。

""

自动做市商(AMM)的想法并不新鲜。很多人之前已经探索过这个概念。但是Hayden Adams有一个关键的见解:需要激励流动性并完全专注于易用性。当Hayden Adams支付不起房租时,Balance 和我用有限的资金让他维持生计,允许他无限制地使用我们的工作室,当时Vitalik Buterin并没有在这个阶段投资,那时候Hayden Adams只有一个忠实的信徒,也就是我。

""

接下来,我们开始着手交换接口。

""

2018年夏天,我们推出了Balance Exchange,由ShapeShift的应用程序接口提供支持,这也是整个团队在工程方面的努力。当时Balance Exchange与整个加密生态系统的人合作,包括Hayden Adams,彼此也找到了一个很棒的交换代币的设计模式。

""

但是,HaydenAdams又没钱了,于是我开始思考如何帮助他融资,而且研究了一切可能性:从发售代币到股权众筹。最终,Vitalik Buterin意识到Uniswap大有可为,于是以太坊基金会参与了投资。

""

此时,我犯了一个让我失眠了无数个夜晚的错误:相信了HaydenAdams的话,他告诉我会让我参投Uniswap的下一轮融资,以“补偿”我此前投入的时间和资金,那时候的我非常开心,于是介绍他认识了Paradigm的联合创始人FredEhrsam,因为我觉得HaydenAdams需要Paradigm的支持,他们是加密货币领域最敏锐的团队之一,并且非常关心生态系统(尽管Paradigm拒绝了投资我的公司Balance),但我知道HaydenAdams会是一个非常合适的人选,所以我告诉他可以去拜访FredEhrsam并且支付了路费。

""

于是,HaydenAdams来到旧金山并向Paradigm展示了Uniswap,并且决定将该项目从非营利组织转变为初创公司,甚至有望募集更大一轮融资——可以说,是我把他“送给”了Paradigm,而这也是我犯下的第二个错误。

""

Dan Robinson是Paradigm的程序员/律师,下图是他曾在纽约与Hayden Adams和我们讨论Uniswap的照片,你可以看到我们都神采飞扬。

我那时真心为Hayden Adams感到高兴,这家伙的情况正在好转,他全身心投入编写代码,与我们的团队一起研究界面创意。Uniswap项目也取得进展,我一度认为Hayden Adams是我在纽约最亲密的朋友之一。老实说,我那时甚至愿意为他挡子弹。Hayden Adams和我的家人、我最亲密的朋友、以及我的老朋友都相处融洽,他的热情极具感染力。我喜欢看他工作,并尽我所能去支持他,我们之间有很多美好的回忆。

""

我把Hayden Adams介绍给了尽可能多的工程师、设计师和金融人士,帮助早期Uniswap团队聘用了许多关键人物。

""

可就在随后的一瞬间,我们关系的气氛完全改变了……

""

2019年3月,我的外婆去世了,于是我飞回家参加葬礼,那几天整个人都深感悲痛。可是在葬礼的前一天,Balance的联合创始人要求我辞去首席执行官一职并给我发了电子邮件,这是一封在非常糟糕的时间收到的邮件。直到今天,那段时间也是我职业生涯中经历过的最痛苦的事情,毕竟被要求离开自己公司的感觉很糟糕。

""

不过Uniswap的状况却出奇的好,Hayden Adams筹集到100多万美元,我原以为他打算让我参与进来,但事实证明,Paradigm另有想法——他们不希望一个失败的创始人出现在Uniswap的名录上,这种想法当然也是完全合理的。

""

可是,有一件事情令我不满。Hayden Adams从来没有给过我分红,他自己拿走了那笔钱,也从来没有提出要补偿我,他开始不理我了。然而,当UNI代币计划开始时,情况又开始发生变化。Hayden Adams意识到他必须偿还债务,于是要求我签署一份禁言令并禁止我在任何公开场合谈论他的名字,只要我答应,就可以在UNI代币推出之前还我钱。可以说,这是我见过的最具攻击性的合同之一,所以现在——我决定起诉他,诉讼文件截图如下:

请原谅我花时间写下所有这些故事,也想让社区有时间消化这份文件,大家可以对我提出问题、批评我、反对任何主张、给我建设性的反馈,怎么样都行。如果你觉得我所说的东西完全不合理,也可以告诉我,因为我想用Uniswap的治理方式来解决这个争端。

""

接下来,让我们来看看Hayden Adams的回应:

""

Ric Burton是我在构建Uniswap大约8个月之后认识的众多早期支持者之一,对于他最近的评论,我感到悲伤和失望,这些内容极具误导性,而且是彻头彻尾的谎言。我一直在犹豫是否要回应Ric Burton,因为他目前正在起诉我(实际上,他的大部分诉讼都已经被驳回),所以考虑再三还是想分享一些细节以澄清事实。

""

当时Ric Burton的确获得了投资Uniswap机会,我曾给他发了一张金额为空白的未来股权简单协议(Simple Agreement for Future Equity),这样他就可以填写自己想投资的额度,但他选择不这样做,理由是他的公司Balance当时只能维持1个月左右的运营。

Ric Burton混淆了时间和事实,将他拒绝未来股权简单协议与在此之前投入的资金混为一谈。澄清一下,他的确给了我一笔资助,但这笔资助发生在Uniswap的早期阶段,但他后来拒绝了再次投资Uniswap的投资机会。再然后,我提出偿还他的投资,但遭到拒绝。

Ric Burton声称我从 Paradigm 获得融资是他的想法也是错误的。我在与Ric Burton认识之前就认识了Dan Robinson,我们成为了朋友,是Dan Robinson向我介绍了Paradigm。当Ric Burton说他的违约索赔将要接受审判时,他在撒谎,而且这一说法已经被法官驳回——所有记录都是公开的。

我可以继续拆穿Ric Burton最近推文中的更多谎言,但最终决定断绝与他的联系,因为他对待周围的人,包括我的朋友和同事其实非常糟糕。尽管如此,我还是感谢Ric Burton在Uniswap发展历史中所扮演的角色。我敢肯定,Ric Burton会对我的回复大加指责,但我不会进一步回应了。

""

非常感谢人们给我的所有支持,现在我要回去工作了。

Bitcoin's Bull-Bear Range Battle Continues, HYPE Faces Critical Test of Wave V Support | Invited Analysis

The market is experiencing directional uncertainty with both opportunities and risks. HYPE's daily V-wave structure is at a critical juncture, with the $40.17 support level being pivotal for its future trajectory. A break below this level, followed by an inability to surpass the recent high of $45.76, could signal the end of the current upward structure. The short-term strategy for HYPE is to "follow the trend and buy on dips," using a 30% position size and a 30/60-minute trading cycle, entering long upon confirmed support holds with model signals. Bitcoin's market structure is reinterpreted, with the rally from the $60,000 low now considered a larger D-wave rebound within a medium-term correction, facing a key test between $73,500 and $79,000. A break above the upper bound may lead to limited upside, while a drop below could see a decline toward $69,500. Core resistance lies at $79,000–$80,600 and $83,500–$84,500, with support at $73,500, $69,500, and $65,000–$66,000. The medium-term strategy maintains a 60% short position from $89,000, to be exited if price stabilizes above the multi-empty band. Short-term tactics involve 30% positions for "spread" opportunities, with two scenarios: selling on rallies near $76,500–$79,000 (Scheme A) or shorting on a breakdown below $73,500 (Scheme B), both with strict stop-losses. A复盘 of HYPE's recent short trade showed a 6.80% gain from a long entry at $41.59 (based on model buy signals) and exit at $44.42 (triggered by top signals). Key reminders include setting initial stops at entry, moving to breakeven at +1% profit, and trailing stops thereafter. All views are for reference only; market conditions change rapidly, and caution is advised.

On the Same Day Aave Introduced rsETH, Why Did Spark Choose to Exit?

On April 18, Kelp DAO's cross-chain bridge was exploited, resulting in the malicious minting of 116,500 unbacked rsETH. The attacker deposited these into Aave and borrowed WETH, creating a potential bad debt of approximately $195 million. Aave’s Guardian quickly froze the market, but the protocol’s insurance could only cover about 25% of the loss. In contrast, SparkLend, a lending protocol in the MakerDAO ecosystem, suffered no direct losses. This was not due to superior foresight but rather a preemptive governance decision. On January 29, Spark executed a governance action to discontinue new rsETH supply, citing low usage and high concentration from a single wallet. The same day, Aave expanded its rsETH market by enabling E-Mode with a 93% LTV to attract more deposits. Spark’s risk management framework is designed to remove assets with low usage or poor risk-adjusted returns, regardless of external security concerns. Aave’s decision was growth-oriented, aiming to boost WETH utilization and attract capital. Spark also employs additional safeguards: rate-limited supply and borrow caps that would have limited the scale of such an attack, and a robust oracle system using the median of three price feeds. These mechanisms systemically contain the maximum exposure to any single risk event, demonstrating a fundamentally different approach to risk than Aave’s growth-first model.

Strategy's 'Money Printer': Is STRC Bitcoin's Savior or Destroyer?

Bitcoin's recent price movement is being heavily influenced by Michael Saylor and his company, MicroStrategy, through a new financial instrument: STRC (Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock). This Nasdaq-listed perpetual preferred stock offers an 11.5% annual dividend, attracting significant capital. Crucially, funds raised from STRC are used to purchase Bitcoin, with a 3x leverage effect—for every $1 from STRC, MicroStrategy adds $2 from MSTR equity to buy $3 worth of BTC. This creates a powerful "flywheel": more STRC sales fuel massive BTC buying, supporting its price and improving MicroStrategy's credit, which in turn makes STRC more attractive to investors. However, this mechanism introduces risks. A significant "ex-dividend arbitrage" pattern has emerged, where traders buy STRC before its monthly dividend, collect the payout, and quickly sell, causing price volatility and potentially driving up Bitcoin's cost basis for MicroStrategy. In response, Saylor has proposed shifting STRC to a semi-monthly dividend to smooth out these effects. Furthermore, STRC's high yield is being integrated into DeFi protocols like Apyx Protocol and Saturn Credit, offering new on-chain yield opportunities. The central concern remains: as MicroStrategy aggressively accumulates over 3.5% of all BTC, it challenges Bitcoin's foundational principle of decentralization, creating a system where a single public company significantly influences the market.
