【名词解释】
本期提到的一些 Web3 企业和词汇：
SharpLink
SharpLink Gaming是一家美国上市公司，最初主营在线体育博彩服务。近期，以太坊联合创始人Joseph Lubin旗下Consensys牵头，通过一项4.25亿美元的私募股权投资对其完成反向收购，并将以太坊 (ETH) 作为公司主要的财政储备资产。
NAV
NAV(Net Asset Value)，即资产净值，常用于衡量共同基金、ETF 和封闭式基金等投资工具价值的指标。在谈论像 Strategy (MSTR) 这种持有大量比特币的公司时，投资者会格外关注其股价相对于其所持比特币价值的 NAV 溢价或折价。
Aave
Aave 是一个DeFi借贷协议，该项目由Stani Kulechov 于 2017 年发起，旨在提供点对点加密货币借贷服务，是 DeFi 领域最大的借贷协议之一。市场份额曾一度达到 45%。Aave 通过其闪电贷(Flash Loans)等创新功能，推动了 DeFi 领域的技术发展和金融策略的演进。AAVE 是该协议的原生治理代币，赋予持有者参与协议治理和决策的权力。
Hyperliquid
一个高性能的去中心化交易平台，专注于永续合约和现货交易，运行在自主研发的Layer 1 区块链上。用户无需身份认证，通过自托管的方式保持资产的控制权，最高可以进行高达 50 倍杠杆的合约交易。该平台的开发团队未进行融资，目前占据去中心化合约交易的大部分市场份额。
「胖协议，瘦应用」
「胖协议，瘦应用」是加密货币和区块链领域的一个核心概念，最早由 Joel Monegro 在 Union Square Ventures撰写的一篇文章中提出。该理论认为在 Web3 时代，底层的基础设施(协议)将比顶层的用户界面(应用)更能捕获价值。

第三浪 SurgeLong#7 Nick Szabo 是中本聪？ | From Tim Ferriss Show #244Nick Szabo
他可能是中本聪。 中本聪是比特币的创造者，但他的真实身份至今仍然是一个谜。Szabo 是中本聪最有可能的人选之一。他拥有计算机科学、密码学和法学的背景，并且他在比特币诞生之前就提出了“比特金”的概念，这与比特币非常相似。此外，Szabo 的写作风格与中本聪的白皮书非常相似。然而，Szabo 一直否认自己是中本聪。
他是区块链技术和加密货币的先驱。 Szabo 是最早研究区块链技术和加密货币的人之一。他在 1998 年提出了“比特金”的概念，这是比特币的前身。他还于 1997 年首次提出了智能合约的概念。Szabo 的研究和贡献为比特币和其他加密货币的发展奠定了基础。
智能合约（英语：Smart contract ）是一种旨在以信息化方式传播、验证或执行合同的计算机协议。 智能合约允许在没有第三方的情况下进行可信交易，这些交易可追踪且不可逆转。 智能合约概念于1994年由Nick Szabo首次提出。 智能合约的目的是提供优于传统合约的安全方法，并减少与合约相关的其他交易成本。
比特黄金是区块链先驱 Nick Szabo 在 1998 年提出的一种早期去中心化虚拟货币尝试。虽然 bit gold 项目最终没有实现，但 Szabo 的这一尝试被广泛视为比特币协议的雏形，该协议是由 Satoshi Nakamoto 提出的。实际上，bit gold 和比特币协议之间有着极其密切的相似性，这让人们推测 Szabo 可能就是那个神秘的比特币创始人 Satoshi Nakamoto（不过 Szabo 对此说法进行了否认）。
未列举权利（Unenumerated rights）是指那些从现有法律中推断出来的权利，这些权利虽然在法律如成文宪法中有所暗示，但并未在法律的明文中明确表述或列出。这类权利的其他常用术语还包括隐含权利、自然权利、背景权利以及基本权利。
吉杜·克里希那穆提（Jiddu Krishnamurti，公元1895年5月12日—公元1986年2月16日），印度哲学家。是近代第一位用通俗的语言，向西方全面深入阐述东方哲学智慧的印度哲学家。在二十世纪一度对西方哲学和宗教领域产生过重大的影响，随着互联网信息的革命，其思想近年来才被中国大陆知识分子慢慢熟知，影响力也逐步慢慢扩大。他的一生颇具传奇色彩。被印度的佛教徒肯定为“中观”与“禅”的导师，而印度教徒则承认他是彻悟的觉者。
闪电网络 (LN) 是位于比特币之上的“第 2 层”支付协定。旨在实现参与节点之间的快速交易，并已被提议作为比特币可扩展性问题的解决方案。该方案有点对点系统，可通过双向支付渠道网络对加密货币进行小额支付，而无需委托保管资金。
"Fat Protocol"（胖协议）是指在区块链和加密货币领域中的一个观点或理论，强调协议本身的价值相对于应用程序。这个观点首次由加密货币投资者和风险投资者Joel Monegro在2016年提出。

Bell CurveThe Rise of AppChains | Season 3 PilotSeason 3 | PilotLayer One protocols have dominated the value capture narrative since Ethereum's inception, but a new narrative is forming: the AppChain Thesis. This thesis predicts crypto's top applications will not rent land and conform to the limitations of other platforms (e.g. Ethereum) but will launch their own independent chain. An AppChain.How should applications approach this decision? Where will value accrue? What are the pros and cons? Will applications prove stickier than protocols?

The world economy is basically a set of contracts on a ledger.- A smart contract is like an API, but on-chain, so it can’t be taken down. In many cases, not even the developers can retract a smart contract.- Value capture and value accrual are two different things — capture is where the value is stored and accrual is where it is going.

When designing cryptonetworks -- really, emerging economies -- how do we avoid some of the monetary and fiscal policy failings of "real-world" economies? Like not separating currency and capital, which accelerated and spread economic growth through the former... but also concentrated the latter into the hands of a few? Yet how can we empower users to access capital while also managing risk?
