从UpRock看DePIN赛道:去中心化网络是未来吗?

4 月 22 日,Jupiter Exchange 官方宣布,LFG Launchpad 第二期上线项目投票结束,LST 流动性聚合协议 Sanctum 和闲置带宽共享网络 UpRock 分别以 64% 、 20% 的票数获得第一、二名,后续将于 5/6 月份上线 Launchpad,前者作为 Solana 生态的知名 DeFi 项目能够入选并不意外,但 UpRock 的最终入选却多少有些“黑马选手”的意味。作为同时入选 Jupiter LFG Launchpad 第一、二期并最终脱颖而出的 DePIN 赛道项目,UpRock 总算“成功上岸”。

今天,Odaily星球日报将和大家一起以 UpRock 这一项目为切入点,共同探讨 DePIN 赛道的后续发展可能。

UpRock:AI+DePIN 的交汇点

UpRock,顾名思义,可以理解为“向上的基石”,而项目白皮书对此的解释是——“从穴居人的岩石到智人的 UpRock”。这一名称也凸显了该项目的勃勃野心——打造面向 AI 互联网未来的 DePIN 赛道基础设施类产品。具体来说,UpRock 想做的事情就是:通过“钱包+AI Chatbot+网络挖矿”三位一体的应用模式,实现用户带宽资源与 AI 数据网络需求的价值交换,在此基础上,为代币 UPT 进行多种权益赋能和通缩控制。

UpRock 代币:Tokenomics 已确定,UPT 代币暂未上线

项目白皮书中,UpRock 提到,用户可以通过项目应用产品来共享网络带宽和计算资源,通过 AI Insight Exchange(AIX)面板接受基于个人 AI 网络爬虫构建的 AI 洞察服务(IaaS),一方面,借此享受高达 77 亿美元市场规模的开源智能 (OSI) 市场的变革性体验;另外一方面,有望在与此密切相关的、 2023 年收入已分别超过 250 亿美元和 450 亿美元的商业智能 (BI) 和数据 API 市场分一杯羹。

与此同时,尽管代币 UPT 还未上线,但 UpRock 的代币经济学模型已经确定:

  • 代币最大供应量为 10 亿;

  • 其中 15% 分配给团队, 1% 分配给顾问(根据用户数量里程碑分批次解锁);

  • 50% 分配给社区(其中 10% 于代币上线解锁, 90% 将在 90 天内解锁,后续实行回购机制);

  • 4% 分配给 VC、DAO 和天使投资人(初期锁定 12 个月,后续分批次 4 年内解锁);

  • 5% 分配给交易所和做市商;

UPT Tokenomics 分配图示

具体而言,目前用户的挖矿收益计算主要根据以下模型进行:奖励率=「上传速度系数 x 下载速度系数 x 连接类型系数(互联网连接类型,如家庭、 4 G 或 5 G) x 自由度系数(根据网络开放程度计算得出的用户所在国家/地区的自由得分因子)」x 总挖矿时间。

UpRock 团队:来自北美和欧洲地区的连续创业者

根据 UpRock 官方披露信息,该项目团队成员来自美国、土耳其和罗马尼亚,此前曾完成多个创业项目,包括:MiKandi App Store(拥有数百万用户的应用商店,后被一家私人公司收购)、 Tenta 加密浏览器(世界上第一个内置 VPN 的全加密浏览器,后被网络安全上市公司 Avast 收购)、 BrandFace(品牌视频平台)、BitBase(为 Solana、Neon、Orchid 和 Orbs 等区块链平台提供验证服务)、The Ticket Finance(曾通过 IDO 筹集超 30 万美元资金)、DePioneers NFT旨在支持最具创新性的 DePIN 项目,主打实用型 NFT 概念,也就是 UpRock 的前身)。

此外,UpRock 团队还曾在 HBO、Vice、Wired、Forbes 和 Anthony Bourdain 的 Parts Unknown 等知名媒体平台上亮相。

看得出来,UpRock 的成员们虽然不是 Crypto Native Team,倒也属于“行业老鸟”的级别了。

Utility 赋能:让 DePIN 由虚向实

与其他 DePIN 项目相比,UpRock 项目的差异点不仅在于 AI + DePIN 的结合,还在于将目标瞄准了“ DePIN 项目代币权益化”。

UPT 代币赋能

项目官网和此前的 Jupiter Launchpad 入围项目介绍中,UpRock 都强调了 UPT 代币的现实权益赋能。

借助 UpRock 的产品,用户不仅能够通过共享网络带宽和计算资源来获得 UPT 代币,还能够获得包括空投、独家优惠、旅游报酬、被动收入乃至免费通话时长等一系列权益。换句话说,在 UpRock 项目的规划中,UPT 不仅仅是平台代币,而且是有实际用例的权益性代币。

DePIN 赛道:去中心化网络的未来支柱

随着加密货币市场与实体经济的关联度日益加深,DePIN (去中心化物理基础设施网络)赛道成为越来越多的人关注的重点领域,尤其是在 AI 迅猛发展的现在,对于计算资源、网络带宽资源、网络数据资源的争夺越发白热化,对发展去中心化网络的呼声由此也越发高涨。而纵观目前的 DePIN 项目,我们可以将其粗略划分为以下 3 类:

物理资源

这类项目主要通过硬件设备来运行,如通信设备、无线网络、蓝牙中间件、路由器设备、传感器设备、智能家居、智慧城市、地理识别、环境监测、能源使用、地图勘测等,主要对应 DePIN 中的 Physical Infrastructure(物理基础设施),更为依赖物理设备的数量、物理空间的覆盖以及物理设备的正常运行。Solana Saga 手机是这类项目中的佼佼者。

数字资源

这类项目是目前 DePIN 赛道的主流,涵盖范围更为全面,包括计算资源、存储设施、AI、带宽资源等,主要对应 DePIN 中的 Decentralized(去中心化),即通过去中心化网络整合更大范围内的各类数字资源,实现集中化的调度使用,以此提高对应的运行效率。近期的热门项目 io.net 便属于这一类型的代表性项目。

应用数据

基于以上 2 类资源,最终 DePIN 的落点还是在各种具体应用和信息数据上,包括 UpRock 在内的 DePIN 项目想做的方向就是最终建立一个更为庞大的 AI 数据库,为拥有各类需求的 C 端用户和 B 端组织提供 API 接口及 SDK 组件方面的服务,最终实现 DePIN 中的 Network(网络) 价值,发挥网络效应的优势,构建一个基于带宽资源和计算资源的代币激励系统。

结论:DePIN 赛道,数量质量缺一不可

总结来说,对于包括 UpRock 在内的 DePIN 赛道项目而言,后续发展考验的不仅仅是项目搭建过程中吸收的资源节点数量,更是对已有集中资源的分配、使用以及高效化运行等方面的持续要求,因此,如何确保项目生态系统的稳定并建立代币经济模型的正外部性,或许是所有 DePIN 项目需要考虑的“终生命题”。

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.
