如果说整个加密市场是否已走熊还存在些许争议的话,NFT 赛道现在无疑正处于熊市进行时 —— 许多项目的地板价只剩 21 年高点的零头,且一泻千里的价格走势图暂时还没有反转的迹象。

但熊市也能潜藏机会:现如今 Solana 生态的 Top 1 NFT 项目 Mad Lads 也正是在熊市推出,(23 年 4 月 20 日以 6.9 SOL mint,当时 SOL 价格约为 22 USDT)在市场好转后实现了百倍以上的收益。

于是有这样一个项目浮出了水面:Aptos 上的 Cool Sloths。

为什么是 Aptos?

近期最有热度的公链其实是 Sui,但作为 Move 双子星另一方的 Aptos 同样不甘寂寞,开始有了动作。原生 USDT 的引入让大家的对其的关注度和增长预期再度回转。同时 Aptos 生态许多头部项目尚未发币,在生态项目给头部 NFT 空投并不稀罕的当下,想象空间能够拉满。

为什么是 Cool Sloths?

生态加持

Cool Sloths 得到了 Aptos 生态的支持、站台 —— 这也是笔者最早注意到项目的原因。上到 Aptos 联创兼 CTO Avery Ching,下到各 Aptos 生态的项目方成员与社区管理者,都在一个多月前就早早的换上了 Cool Sloths 的头像(PFP),此时甚至还没开始 Mint —— 他们收到了项目方为其定制的 1:1 。

项目背景

Cool Sloths 背后的团队同时也是 CRED 和 TowneSquare 的项目方。CRED 是一个做链上社交图谱以及声誉积分系统的应用,除 Aptos 外近期还官宣拓展至 Monad,并已上线 Movement 测试网;而 TowneSquare 是一个去中心化的移动社交 App,除展示了团队背后的移动开发能力外,项目方表示会围绕此移动 App 为 Cool Sloths 赋能。

同时团队还得到了 Bixin Ventures、monkeDAO 等的支持。

除此之外,项目方明确表示「Cool Sloths 是 TowneSquare 和 CRED 的官方 NFT 系列。持有者将享受主要生态系统里程碑的福利、Drop、内容和机会。」

Gensyn AI: Don't Let AI Repeat the Mistakes of the Internet

In recent months, the rapid growth of the AI industry has attracted significant talent from the crypto sector. A persistent question among researchers intersecting both fields is whether blockchain can become a foundational part of AI infrastructure. While many previous AI and Crypto projects focused on application layers (like AI Agents, on-chain reasoning, data markets, and compute rentals), few achieved viable commercial models. Gensyn differentiates itself by targeting the most critical and expensive layer of AI: model training. Gensyn aims to organize globally distributed GPU resources into an open AI training network. Developers can submit training tasks, nodes provide computational power, and the network verifies results while distributing incentives. The core issue addressed is not decentralization for its own sake, but the increasing centralization of compute power among tech giants. In the era of large models, access to GPUs (like the H100) has become a decisive bottleneck, dictating the pace of AI development. Major AI companies are heavily dependent on large cloud providers for compute resources. Gensyn's approach is significant for several reasons: 1) It operates at the core infrastructure layer (model training), the most resource-intensive and technically demanding part of the AI value chain. 2) It proposes a more open, collaborative model for compute, potentially increasing resource utilization by dynamically pooling idle GPUs, similar to early cloud computing logic. 3) Its technical moat lies in solving complex challenges like verifying training results, ensuring node honesty, and maintaining reliability in a distributed environment—making it more of a deep-tech infrastructure company. 4) It targets a validated, high-growth market with genuine demand, rather than pursuing blockchain integration without purpose. Ultimately, the boundaries between Crypto and AI are blurring. AI requires global resource coordination, incentive mechanisms, and collaborative systems—areas where crypto-native solutions excel. Gensyn represents a step toward making advanced training capabilities more accessible and collaborative, moving beyond a niche controlled by a few giants. If successful, it could evolve into a fundamental piece of AI infrastructure, where the most enduring value in the AI era is often created.

Why is China's AI Developing So Fast? The Answer Lies Inside the Labs

A US researcher's visit to China's top AI labs reveals distinct cultural and organizational factors driving China's rapid AI development. While talent, data, and compute are similar to the West, Chinese labs excel through a pragmatic, execution-focused culture: less emphasis on individual stardom and conceptual debate, and more on teamwork, engineering optimization, and mastering the full tech stack. A key advantage is the integration of young students and researchers who approach model-building with fresh perspectives and low ego, prioritizing collective progress over personal credit. This contrasts with the US culture of self-promotion and "star scientist" narratives. Chinese labs also exhibit a strong "build, don't buy" mentality, preferring to develop core capabilities—like data pipelines and environments—in-house rather than relying on external services. The ecosystem feels more collaborative than tribal, with mutual respect among labs. While government support exists, its scale is unclear, and technical decisions appear driven by labs, not state mandates. Chinese companies across sectors, from platforms to consumer tech, are building their own foundational models to control their tech destiny, reflecting a broader cultural drive for technological sovereignty. Demand for AI is emerging, with spending patterns potentially mirroring cloud infrastructure more than traditional SaaS. Despite challenges like a less mature data industry and GPU shortages, Chinese labs are propelled by vast talent, rapid iteration, and deep integration with the open-source community. The competition is evolving beyond a pure model race into a contest of organizational execution, developer ecosystems, and industrial pragmatism.

3 Years, 5 Times: The Rebirth of a Century-Old Glass Factory

Corning, a 175-year-old glass company, is experiencing a dramatic revival as a key player in AI infrastructure, driven by surging demand for high-performance optical fiber in data centers. AI data centers require vastly more fiber than traditional ones—5 to 10 times as much per rack—to handle high-speed data transmission between GPUs. This structural demand shift, coupled with supply constraints from the lengthy expansion cycle for fiber preforms, has created a significant supply-demand gap. Nvidia has invested in Corning, along with Lumentum and Coherent, in a $4.5 billion total commitment to secure the optical supply chain for AI. Corning's competitive edge lies in its expertise in producing ultra-low-loss, high-density, and bend-resistant specialty fiber, which is critical for 800G+ and future 1.6T data rates. Its deep involvement in co-packaged optics (CPO) with partners like Nvidia further solidifies its position. While not the largest fiber manufacturer globally, Corning's revenue from enterprise/data center clients now exceeds 40% of its optical communications sales, and it has secured multi-year supply agreements with major hyperscalers including Meta and Nvidia. Financially, Corning's optical communications revenue has surged, doubling from $1.3 billion in 2023 to over $3 billion in 2025. Its stock price has risen nearly 6-fold since late 2023. Key future catalysts include the rollout of Nvidia's CPO products and the scale of undisclosed customer agreements. However, risks include high current valuations and potential disruption from next-generation technologies like hollow-core fiber. The company's long-term bet on light over electricity, maintained even through the telecom bubble crash, is now being validated by the AI boom.
