要点:

  • 据知情人士透露,占市场主导地位的流动性质押协议 Lido 的联合创始人与风投公司 Paradigm,正在秘密资助一家名为 Symbiotic 的新公司,该公司将在快速增长的“再质押”领域展开竞争。

  • 一个拥有雄厚资金支持的再质押项目出现,可能预示着一场重新定义 DeFi 格局的博弈即将上演。

以太坊上最大的流动性质押协议 Lido 联合创始人正在秘密资助 EigenLayer 的竞争对手。作为热门的再质押协议 EigenLayer 今年迅速崛起,成为 DeFi 中的一股强劲势力。

据几位知情人士透露,该项目名为 Symbiotic,不仅通过风投公司 Cyber Fund 获得了 Lido 联合创始人 Konstantin Lomashuk 和 Vasiliy Shapovalov 的支持,还获得了 Paradigm 的支持。而 Paradigm 恰是 Lido 的主要投资者之一。

CoinDesk 获得的内部 Symbiotic 文件显示,该项目允许用户使用 Lido 的 stETH 和其他与 EigenLayer 原生不兼容的流行资产“再质押”。Symbiotic 由之前创建 Stakemind 质押服务的团队开发,将是“一个无需许可的再质押协议,为去中心化网络提供灵活的机制,以协调节点运营商和经济安全供应商”。

这些文件被标记为“初拟”和“不可外传”,但在新生的再质押生态中建设的几个团队表示已经在讨论与 Symbiotic 集成(包括基于 EigenLayer 的主动验证服务和流动性再质押服务)。

“镇上新来的孩子”

Lido 几年前在 DeFi 领域引发轰动,其当时开发了一种协议,允许用户在以太坊上质押加密货币(本质是锁仓),但仍然可以获得用来交易的代币“stETH”。事实证明,该项目非常受欢迎,现在已成为以太坊上最大的 DeFi 协议,拥有价值 270 亿美元的存款。因占据了如此重要的地位,以至于一些参与者担心 Lido 超级影响力所带来的运营风险。

但最近,随着用户将资产转移到 EigenLayer,Lido 一直在努力应对市场份额下降的问题。EigenLayer 允许用户再质押以太坊的原生代币 ETH,以帮助保护其他网络。EigenLayer 是近年来加密领域最成功的项目之一,自去年向投资者开放以来,吸引了约 160 亿美元的存款。

与 EigenLayer 类似,Symbiotic 将为去中心化的应用程序提供一种称为主动验证服务(AVS)的方案,以共同确保彼此的安全。用户能够将他们存储在其他加密协议中的资产再质押,以帮助保护这些 AVSs(无论是 Rollups、互操作性基础设施还是预言机),以换取奖励。

Symbiotic 和 EigenLayer 的关键区别在于,用户可直接将基于以太坊 ERC-20 代币标准的任何资产存入 Symbiotic,这意味着该协议将直接兼容 stETH,以及数千种 ERC-20 标准的其他资产。而 EigenLayer 只接受 ETH 代币。

CoinDesk 获得的内部 Symbiotic 文件截图,描述了该协议的“ 5 个相互关联的组件”。

具有讽刺意味的是,据几位知情人士透露,当风投巨头 Paradigm 找到 EigenLayer 联合创始人 Sreeram Kannan 投资他的项目时,Sreeram Kannan 拒绝了他们的资金,转而选择a16z。Paradigm 告诉 Sreeram Kannan,他们将投资 EigenLayer 的竞争对手。

赛道足够大去容纳多家公司

EigenLayer 潜在强大的竞争对手出现,突显出随着这一赛道成为业界讨论的焦点,机构和投资者非常渴望涉足再质押赛道。Blockworks 在 4 月份报道称,另一家再质押的新创企业 Karak 已从 Coinbase 等获得了资金。

“这条赛道足够大,可以容纳不止一家大公司,”一家打算与 Symbiotic 集成的基础设施运营商表示,但由于该项目仍处于秘密状态,要求匿名。“我认为,Uber 和 Lyft 就是最好的例子,这里也一样,再质押市场将是巨大的”。

由 Lido 联合创始人领导的 Cyber Fund 及 Paradigm 的参与,可能使 Symbiotic 在挑战 EigenLayer 方面处于有利地位。这也进一步证明,与 Lido 关系密切的人认为,EigenLayer 对 Lido 的主导地位构成了潜在威胁。

尽管 Lido 仍然是以太坊上最大的 DeFi 协议,但该项目围绕再质押的策略,或将决定是否(以及如何)能保持其在质押领域的领先地位。

将用户资金存入 EigenLayer 的流动性再质押公司已经蚕食了 Lido 的 stETH 市场。两个最大的流动性再质押协议 Ether.Fi 和 Renzo,在过去 30 天里净流入 6.25 亿美元。与此同时,Lido 在同一时期净流出 7500 万美元。

本周,Lido DAO 成员(控制 Lido 协议的治理机构)公开提出了“Lido 联盟”,这是一个思考再质押的指导框架。该提案指出:“Lido DAO 将识别和认可具有相同价值观和使命,并能为 stETH 生态做出积极贡献的项目” 。“围绕 stETH 发展成与以太坊一致的生态系统有助于去中心化网络”。

虽然 Lido 与 Symbiotic 没有直接关联,但这家由 Lido 联合创始人资助的再质押公司与 Lido 联盟的框架非常吻合。EigenLayer 只接受 ETH 存款,而 Symbiotic 根本不接受 ETH 存款。相反,Symbiotic 将允许用户直接存入任何 ERC-20 代币,如 Lido 的 stETH。

Symbiotic 的项目文件显示:“Symbiotic 中的抵押品可以包括 ERC-20 代币、以太坊验证者的提款凭证,或其他链上资产(如 LP 头寸),但对持有头寸的区块链没有限制”。

关于再质押项目的讨论

CoinDesk 获得的 Symbiotic 内部文件截图标题为:“使用 ERC 20 代币的抵押品示例。当用户存入金库时,抵押品的创建将被抽象。”

Symbiotic 对抵押品的态度与它成为“无需许可”协议的野心有关,这意味着在平台上构建的应用程序应该有很大的余地,可以决定如何扩展平台,以服务于自己的用例。

Ether.Fi 联合创始人 Mike Silgadze 在 Telegram 中表示:“我对他们正在做的事情感到很兴奋。这看起来很有趣且具有创新性”。 “他们似乎非常专注于构建完全无需许可和去中心化的东西”。

据知情人士透露,另一家流动性再质押协议 Renzo 已经在讨论 Symbiotic 推出后与之集成。

Symbiotic 尚未公开发布任何信息,也没有确认计划何时推出,但本文咨询的四位消息人士表示,预计该平台将在今年年底以某种形式发布。

Interview with Strategy CEO: Can STRC Recover After Selling Bitcoin?

Interview with Strategy CEO Phong Le on the recent sale of 32 Bitcoin and its impact. He clarifies the move was a small, strategic action to demonstrate liquidity to debt holders, test internal processes, and prove operational discipline—not a response to fears of a "death spiral" from DeFi protocols leveraging STRC (Strategy's preferred stock product), which he notes holds less than 10% of STRC. Le emphasizes Strategy’s long-term focus as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, using the adage that markets are a "voting machine" short-term but a "weighing machine" long-term. Decision-making is data-driven, involving the board, complex modeling, and multiple stakeholder considerations, moving beyond a founder-centric model. He outlines various capital options but stresses the strategic importance of "doing nothing" as a valid choice, citing resilience built during the 2022 bear market. Le expresses unwavering belief in Bitcoin's foundational value for global sovereignty and its future role in an AI-driven economy with trillions of autonomous agents. Addressing STRC's current price below its $100 face value, Le explains recent pressure was due to using dollar reserves for bond buybacks. He expects STRC to return to par as reserves are replenished and its semi-monthly dividend payments begin, noting the product is heavily over-collateralized. Finally, Le confirms the company sold Bitcoin the week prior to May 31st, as disclosed in an 8-K filing, leaving prediction market interpretations to others. The overarching philosophy remains "Spread Bitcoin with love," embracing all methods of gaining Bitcoin exposure.

IOSG Founder: Ethereum Doesn't Need Another Leap of Technical Faith, It Needs a Musk-style Compromise

Jocy, founder of IOSG Ventures, argues that Ethereum does not need renewed technological faith but a "Musk-like compromise." The recent formation of ETHLabs—funded by major ETH holders like BitMine and Lubin—highlights a market-driven move to fill a gap left by the Ethereum Foundation (EF), signaling a loss of confidence in its decentralized, hands-off approach. The core critique contrasts Vitalik Buterin's (V) idealistic, technology-first vision with Elon Musk's pragmatic, business-driven execution. The author asserts Ethereum's current shortage is not another technical roadmap but a clear, real-world application narrative and a leader willing to engage directly with commercial realities—like Musk. Internal issues are emphasized, citing EF's management problems and talent drain. While the new decentralized model with independent nodes like ETHLabs addresses the single foundation's limitations, it risks fragmentation without cohesive direction. True cohesion, the author suggests, must come from a shared, compelling narrative around ETH's value, not just from aligned financial interests. Independence claims for new entities are seen as aspirational, needing years of transparency to build trust. The ultimate threat is not competitors like Solana, but the broader shift of attention and talent toward AI. Ethereum has a limited window—12 to 18 months—to recapture focus by delivering tangible, real-world applications. The conclusion urges V to shift from abstract ideals to grounded, pragmatic leadership. The time for this crucial pivot is running out.

Google Starts Selling TPUs, Big Tech Aims to Produce "Low-Cost Tokens" with AI Chips

Google has begun selling its proprietary TPU chips and AI computing hardware directly to third-party data centers and clients, marking a strategic shift. Previously only accessible via cloud rentals, TPUs are specialized processors designed for the matrix and tensor operations central to AI models. By combining thousands into supercomputing clusters managed by CPUs, Google achieves high-efficiency AI processing. This move enables Google’s Gemini AI to offer competitive token pricing, challenging rivals like OpenAI. It also signals a broader industry trend where AI compute is becoming a commoditized resource like electricity. While NVIDIA remains dominant with its CUDA ecosystem and high-performance GPUs, the focus is shifting from raw power to cost efficiency and system integration. Google’s approach mirrors NVIDIA’s by selling an entire ecosystem—hardware, software, and data center expertise—rather than just chips. This threatens NVIDIA’s grip on the mid-range inference market, where lower-cost, efficient solutions are increasingly demanded. Similarly, cloud providers like Huawei Cloud and Alibaba Cloud in China are developing their own AI chip ecosystems (e.g., Ascend, Zhenwu), packaging chips, clusters, and tools into full-stack solutions. They aim to reduce token costs and capture market share through integrated systems. In summary, the AI infrastructure race is evolving from a competition for the strongest chips to a contest for the most efficient and cost-effective systems. Google’s TPU sales highlight this transition, emphasizing that future success lies in delivering affordable, scalable AI compute as a foundational service.
