在TOKEN2049首日,炙手可热的预测市场Polymarket成为参会者重点关注项目之一。该平台的创始人兼CEO Shayne Coplan今日也亮相主会场,并参与了主题为“走向主流:构建 Web3 消费者应用程序”(Going Mainstream: Building Web3 Consumer Apps)圆桌讨论。

除了Shayne Coplan外,还有Founders Fund合伙人Joey Krug、AllianceDAO创始贡献者Qiao Wang以及ETHGlobal联合创始人Kartik Talwar等嘉宾,共同探讨了Web3消费者应用的未来发展方向与挑战。PANews 对此次圆桌会议的核心内容进行了梳理与总结。

加密产品该如何营销与推广

“你需要首先构建核心用户群,这些人有相似的用户画像,并真正喜欢使用你的产品。”Shayne Coplan认为,如果项目方未在真正打造出有用的产品前就开始进行营销,那么他们实际上就并不是真的在做推广。他补充道:“你需要花时间去弄清楚,如何专注于打造一个有用的产品。归根结底,我认为你一旦开发出产品,就需要了解你产品在市场中的定位:跟竞争对手相比如何,市场上还有哪些未满足的需求?”

“一旦清楚了目标用户,并明确了需要针对的群体,就需要找出合适的分销渠道去接触他们。”Shayne透露,Polymarket通常会先选择特定的垂直市场。他还表示,开发者需要专注于打造一些有实用价值的产品,了解它在市场中的定位,与竞争对手、替代方案相比,它是否能满足了某种潜在或尚未满足的需求。“一旦你知道了这些,你就会知道如何找到合适的分销渠道去推广它。”

在如何吸引更广泛的受众的问题上,Shayne 认为能够快速迭代产品开发是至关重要的。“深入到细节,并且真正痴迷于如何让早期客户使用你的产品,早期客户的反馈是什么?他们喜欢什么,不喜欢什么?你要突出什么,去除什么?如果你不能获取这些反馈,不能做到反馈、迭代、评估,你在打造最终能扩展的消费者产品时就处于劣势。”

产品是否需要强化用户的“加密技术”感知

“我认为这很微妙。”Shayne称,越增加产品的复杂性,人们感受到产品的‘魔法’时刻的时间就越长,体验也就越困难。他认为涉及加密元素的部分仍有很多需要改进的地方,如果用户希望处理这些元素,开发者要让他们方便使用,负责任地处理掉。

而从另一个视角来看,如果项目方只愿意为加密领域的“回声室”构建产品,把责任推给用户,比如让他们自己搞懂链上操作,或者通过不同的工具来接入。这种方式实际上也并无问题,毕竟加密领域及市场也在不断扩张,不过这样就只能构建出一个小众的产品。“虽然没有什么错,也能够做出很多很棒的东西。但是,最终你还是要权衡各种不同的因素,”Shayne说。

VC如何挖掘优质加密应用

今年5月,Polymarket宣布完成4500万美元B轮融资,领投方为Founders Fund。“很多人认为我们投资是因为大选带来的市场热度。实际上,在我们真正决定投资之前,他们的热度并没有那么大。”Founders Fund合伙人Joey Krug称,在很多人看来,今年突然爆红的Polymarket就是一夜成名的典型案例,而他表示,Shayne其实早在2016或2017年就给他发过邮件,并谈及预测市场,多年来两人也都保持着至少每年一两次的交流。

“在消费领域,尤其是当产品已经上线时,你可以查看早期的市场反馈。”Joey表示,他的主要标准之一是可持续的市场适配度。“如果你问我消费品领域什么最具吸引力,我会说,拥有这样一个真正良性循环的产品是最积极的信号。这让我们觉得值得投资。反过来说,如果你没有这样的循环,或者你必须投入500万美元甚至更多的奖励或激励机制来留住用户,那基本上是不可行的。说到底,产品的核心是需求。”

加密创始人应该具备哪些素质

Joey Krug还提到了其评估创始人的几个关键因素。他称最好的创始人总能行动迅速,并快速迭代。“他们通常还对自己的愿景非常坚定,不轻易放弃,并具有打破常规的毅力和不屈不挠的精神。”他还表示,人们通常认为选择创始人是一个“打勾”的过程,希望勾选尽可能多的优点。但实际上最优秀的创始人在某些方面有着非常突出的能力,他们可能在一些方面表现非常出色,而在其他方面可能稍差一些,但这并不妨碍他们的成功。最后,他还提到创始人与市场的契合度也是成功的关键要素。

Alliance DAO的Qiao Wang也表达相似的看法,他表示过去几年在消费品领域最成功的投资案例,几乎都是经过了两到三次的大转型。“因为几乎可以肯定的是,你的第一个产品不太可能成功,你需要进行调整。”他认为,基础设施类项目有明确的目标,很多时候是可量化的工程问题。而消费领域则非常不确定,创业者并不知道他们是否真的在解决正确的问题,因此需要能够非常快速地执行调整。

Li Fei-Fei's Latest Long-Form Article: When Video Generation, Robotics, and NVIDIA All Call Themselves World Models, We Need a Taxonomy

In a new article, Dr. Fei-Fei Li addresses the widespread and often inconsistent use of the term "world model" in AI. She proposes a clear, functional taxonomy rooted in the classic Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) loop (agent → action → state → observation → agent). According to this framework, current systems called "world models" are different projections of this loop, categorized by their primary output: 1. **Renderers**: Output observations (pixels). Their goal is visual fidelity for human consumption (e.g., video generation models like Sora). They are the most commercially mature but are limited by a focus on appearance over physical accuracy. 2. **Simulators**: Output states (geometric, physical, dynamic representations). They provide a structurally accurate world for both human professionals (e.g., architects) and computational agents (e.g., robots for training). Li argues simulators are the crucial, underappreciated bridge, as they can underpin both rendering and planning. 3. **Planners**: Output actions. Given an observation and a goal, they decide what an agent should do next (e.g., robotic action models). This area is highly promising but remains the least mature for real-world deployment. Li highlights a key trend: the boundaries between these three categories are beginning to blur, as they all rely on a shared underlying understanding of geometry, physics, and dynamics. The logical endpoint is a unified world foundation model capable of switching between rendering, simulation, and planning based on downstream needs. This convergence, she concludes, is central to advancing spatial intelligence—enabling machines not just to talk about the world, but to truly understand, imagine, and interact with it.

Forbes Feature: Stablecoin Cross-Border Payments Are Faster, But Not Yet Cheaper

A Forbes feature delves into the state of stablecoin-based cross-border payments, noting rapid growth but a key shortfall: while faster and more accessible, they are not yet cheaper. At a recent industry conference in Mexico City, optimism about technology, regulation, and volume was tempered by discussions with practitioners. The core issue is liquidity. Traditional FX brokers charge 60-70 basis points, and stablecoins promise to slash this to 2-5 basis points. However, this theoretical cost advantage cannot be realized until deep liquidity pools are established at scale, requiring significant institutional capital inflow. A major adoption barrier is trust. Businesses often rely on long-standing relationships with traditional brokers, valuing reliability over marginal cost savings. This shift will be gradual. Furthermore, successful companies in the space are not positioning themselves as replacements for legacy systems like SWIFT, but as complements. They leverage stablecoins for speed while using traditional rails for their standardization and reliability in ensuring accurate payment details—a critical factor for supplier payments to avoid customs issues. Companies like Caliza, experiencing high monthly growth, exemplify this hybrid approach. The industry anticipates consolidation, as long-term viability will depend on securing the essential trifecta: proper licensing, robust fiat on/off-ramps, and deep liquidity. Without these, firms risk being mere intermediaries rather than building sustainable businesses.

Li Feifei's Latest Article: When Video Generation, Robotics, and NVIDIA All Claim to Have 'World Models,' We Need a Taxonomy

"World Model" has become a widely used yet ambiguous term in AI. Drawing from the classic POMDP framework (agent → action → state → observation), this article proposes a functional taxonomy to clarify the concept. It identifies three distinct types, categorized by their output in the perception-action loop: 1. **Renderers**: Output visual observations (pixels). These models, like advanced video generators, prioritize visual fidelity but often lack underlying physical accuracy. 2. **Simulators**: Output the state of the world (geometry, physics, dynamics). They provide a structurally accurate representation for professionals (e.g., architects) and serve as training environments for robots and AI agents. 3. **Planners**: Output actions. Given an observation and a goal, they determine what an agent should do next, closing the perception-action loop (e.g., vision-language-action models). While renderers are currently the most commercially mature and planners are the most aspirational, the article argues that **simulators are the crucial, underappreciated hub**. By working at the level of geometry and physics, a simulator can project upwards to create visuals for humans and downwards to predict action consequences for agents. The future lies in the convergence of these three functions. Emerging research and products, like World Labs' Marble model which outputs both visual splats and physical collision meshes, are beginning to blur these boundaries. The logical endpoint is a unified world foundation model capable of rendering, simulating, and planning based on a shared understanding of spatial and temporal structures—ultimately enabling machines to understand, imagine, and interact with the physical world.
