Web3的加密吗喽
Web3每日新闻 2月19日
各位听众大家好,以下是二月十九日的吗喽每日新闻。美国联邦法院近日公布了前FTX首席执行官Sam Bankman-Fried(SBF)被没收资产的最终清单,总价值约十亿美元。其中包括其公司通过出售Robinhood股票获得的六亿零六百万美元、两架私人飞机(一架二零零九年庞巴迪Global 5000和一架二零零六年Embraer Legacy),以及大量加密货币资产。此外,清单还列出了超过二百五十笔政治捐款,这些捐款已从相关竞选活动和组织中撤回。与此同时,FTX破产案的首批赔付已启动,约十二亿美元将赔付给债权人,他们预计可收回账户初始金额的百分之一百一十九。区块链安全公司Blockaid近日成功完成五千万美元的B轮融资,由Ribbit Capital领投,GV及现有投资者Variant和Cyberstarts跟投。该公司专注于区块链安全,提供实时威胁检测服务,直接集成钱包和去中心化应用程序(dapps)以保护用户免受恶意攻击。去年,Blockaid扫描了超过二十四亿笔交易,并成功阻止了七千一百万次攻击。随着金融机构和Web3公司对区块链安全需求的增长,Blockaid计划扩大其研究和工程团队,以应对不断演变的威胁。该公司目前为Coinbase、MetaMask、Uniswap和Stellar等企业提供安全服务。此次融资将助力Blockaid进一步提升机器学习能力,并扩展其产品线。万事达卡(Mastercard)近日表示,其在加密货币领域已超越实验阶段,正专注于提供“实际解决方案”。万事达卡加密与区块链负责人Raj Dhamodharan在接受CoinDesk采访时透露,公司已与合规平台Notabene合作,整合其Crypto Credential系统,使数字资产交易更安全、便捷,用户可通过电子邮件地址而非复杂的钱包地址进行转账。Dhamodharan强调,加密货币走向主流的关键在于让消费者使用熟悉的工具进行交易。万事达卡计划在2025年进一步改进加密货币与银行系统之间的出入金解决方案,并扩展Crypto Credential功能。此外,公司看好稳定币和资产代币化的未来,认为这将推动加密货币的规模化应用。万事达卡的目标是成为传统金融与区块链网络之间的桥梁,确保合规性并支持新商业模式的发展。MARA Holdings近日宣布完成对德克萨斯州一座风电场的收购,为其比特币挖矿业务提供可再生能源支持。此次收购为MARA增加了一百一十四兆瓦的风电装机容量和二百四十兆瓦的互联容量。该公司计划利用风电场为新一代ASIC矿机供电,这些矿机原本可能被淘汰或转售至二级市场。MARA表示,通过重新利用这些设备并采用可再生能源,将降低比特币挖矿成本,同时充分利用风能资源。首席执行官Fred Thiel称,此次收购使MARA拥有并运营的总发电容量达到一百三十六兆瓦。作为全球第二大公开交易的比特币持有公司,MARA目前持有四万五千六百五十九枚比特币。NFT市场OpenSea因用户对新奖励机制的强烈反对,暂停了其空投奖励系统。此前,OpenSea推出了升级版平台OS2的测试版,引入了经验值(XP)机制,用户可通过挂单和竞价获得XP,从而有资格参与平台原生代币SEA的空投。然而,社区成员批评该机制鼓励刷单交易、忽视创作者利益,并导致高频率交易。OpenSea联合创始人兼首席执行官Devin Finzer宣布暂停挂单和竞价的XP奖励,转而专注于购买和持有NFT的奖励机制。此举被视为对用户反馈的积极回应,尽管部分用户对OpenSea模仿竞争对手Blur的机制表示失望。此前,有用户指出,部分XP农民通过高频交易向OpenSea支付了高达两万美元的费用,但未对创作者产生实际收益。OpenSea表示将继续优化平台机制,以更好地服务社区。SingularityNET与Mind Network合作推出ASI Hub,旨在增强人工智能(AI)代理的安全性与防篡改性,特别是在去中心化AI系统日益受到关注的背景下。该平台采用Mind Network的完全同态加密技术(FHE),允许在加密数据上进行计算而无需解密,从而在保护用户数据隐私的同时提供服务。SingularityNET的首席执行官Ben Goertzel表示,FHE可能成为去中心化AI系统的核心组件,实现隐私与创新并行发展。ASI Hub的目标是建立一个无信任、以隐私为核心的基础设施,确保AI系统的透明度并避免外部操控。该技术预计将推动加密技术在区块链中的进一步应用,成为新一代去中心化AI发展的关键支撑。Grayscale Investments于二月十八日推出了一个针对Pyth Network原生代币PYTH的投资基金——Grayscale Pyth Trust。该基金旨在为合格投资者提供Pyth网络治理代币的投资机会。Pyth通过去中心化预言机提供包括加密货币、股票和商品在内的市场数据,目前已覆盖超过九十个区块链网络,其中Solana网络有大约百分之九十五的去中心化应用依赖于Pyth的价格信息。Grayscale表示,Pyth在Solana生态系统中扮演着重要角色,并将与Solana的成长一同发展。该基金预计能为投资者带来更高的“β值”和潜在回报。PYTH自二零二三年推出以来,市值已超过七亿美元。此举是Grayscale扩展其单一资产加密基金系列的一部分,继推出狗狗币基金后,又增加了对Lido和Optimism等代币的投资。Tether的联合创始人Reeve Collins推出了一款名为USP的去中心化稳定币,旨在与他曾参与创建的美元挂钩稳定币Tether竞争。据二月十八日《彭博社》报道,Collins现任Pi Protocol主席,该项目计划今年晚些时候在以太坊和Solana区块链上线。Pi Protocol将通过智能合约允许用户以可获得收益的USI代币铸造USP稳定币,USP将由债券和其他真实世界资产作为担保。尽管其名称暗示与美元挂钩,但尚未公布具体的法币或货币信息。稳定币市场竞争日益激烈,Tether面临着包括Circle的USD Coin、Ethena的USDe及Dai在内的多个竞争者的挑战。根据DefiLlama的数据,当前流通中的稳定币总值超过两千二百五十亿美元,USDC的增长速度已超过Tether的USDt。Coinbase及其多位高管近日遭到股东Wenduo Guo提起的诉讼,指控其未能披露公司面临破产风险,且涉嫌违反证券法。Guo在二月十八日提交的诉状中称,Coinbase未告知投资者,客户资产可能会成为公司破产财产的一部分,使零售客户成为无担保债权人。诉讼还指出,Coinbase未披露其为弥补加密货币价格下跌而进行的自营交易,这是一项“涉及使用公司资金进行交易的高风险做法”。此外,Guo提到,美国证券交易委员会(SEC)也已对Coinbase提起诉讼,指控其上市未注册证券并未向监管机构登记。诉讼要求陪审团审理,并寻求赔偿及公司治理改革。此次诉讼还包括Coinbase首席执行官Brian Armstrong等多位高管,指控其出售股票获利数亿美元,导致公司遭遇重大损失与监管处罚。TRON DAO于二月十八日宣布推出TRON Builders League(TBL)计划,旨在为开发者提供资金、指导和机会,推动TRON生态系统的创新与全球扩展。该计划将于二月十九日正式启动,总资金池为一千万美元。TBL主要面向TRON生态系统中的开发者,特别是参与过HackaTRON等社区项目的建设者。参与者将获得资金支持、实践指导,以及与TRON网络的集成支持。此外,TBL还将为开发者提供与投资者和关键生态贡献者的直接接触。TBL涵盖多个领域,包括基础设施与安全、支付与去中心化金融、游戏与互动媒体、人工智能与自动化等,旨在推动可持续的创新。申请将通过滚动方式进行,计划将长期支持有潜力的项目,确保其在TRON生态中的可持续发展。Arbitrum DAO于二月十八日宣布,已批准将三千五百万ARB(约合一千五百五十万美元)投资于代币化的真实世界资产(RWAs)。这笔资金来自于该项目的稳定资产捐赠计划(STEP),计划将Arbitrum DAO的资产多元化,并利用这一领域的增长来获取收益。此次投资是STEP 2.0计划的一部分,进一步推动了DAO在RWAs领域的布局。Arbitrum DAO的RWA投资总额现已达到八千五百万ARB,创下DAO投资的最高纪录。自STEP计划启动以来,Arbitrum DAO已经通过该计划获得了约四十五万美元的利息收入。此举还体现了Arbitrum在2024年RWA市场中的不断增长,其市场份额已从年初的十万美元飙升至七千万美元。谷歌正在探索简化比特币钱包的使用,使其与Web2应用程序一样用户友好。谷歌云Web3专家Kyle Song在香港的比特币技术嘉年华上表示,谷歌的愿景是让用户可以通过现有的Google账户登录比特币钱包,从而使比特币更加易于主流用户使用。随着2024年现货比特币ETF的推出,谷歌等大型Web2公司进入比特币行业的路径变得更加顺畅。谷歌自去年起便与比特币行业的公司和开发者展开合作。Song指出,谷歌致力于降低Web2用户进入比特币的门槛,重点提升钱包的安全性,并考虑使用零知识证明(ZKP)等先进加密技术增强区块链与传统金融系统之间的信任问题。此外,谷歌还推出了支持以太坊的区块链远程过程调用(RPC)服务,并与Sui区块链合作,通过谷歌

Emergency Pod: SEC vs OpenSea
On August 28th, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a Wells Notice to OpenSea, notifying the largest NFT marketplace that it is under investigation for operating as an unlicensed exchange, labeling the NFTs traded on the platform as securities. Founder & CEO of OpenSea, Devin Finzer, posted that “[t]his is a move into uncharted territory. By targeting NFTs, the SEC would stifle innovation on an even broader scale: hundreds of thousands of online artists and creatives are at risk, and many do not have the resources to defend themselves.
