NFT會是下一個投資風口嗎? Flow,WHALE,分佈式資本帶你全面剖析
區塊鏈從不缺熱點,從Polkdot到分佈式存儲到DeFi,一波接一波,風向切換越來越快,大家在感嘆風口轉變真快的時候,卻忽略了,這個所謂的爆點也可能經歷了幾年的沉浮。 2017年,Cryptokitties還只能通過Metamask訪問,還不能支持移動錢包;Etherscan還不能顯示NFT地址,Opensea也還只是個測試版,更別提ERC-721,當時還僅僅是一個草稿,要到2018年7月才能正式發布。三年過去了,NFT領域從17年的單一爆點加密貓慢慢衍生成目前百花齊放的狀態。
投資機構作為最敏銳的鯨魚也逐步開始佈局,近日Multicoin Capital 合夥人Kyle Samani也表示:“對NFT NFT 有很多子行業,包括藝術、音樂、一般IP 以及房地產等,這些都是完全獨立的業務。總的來說,我們正在尋求在這個領域進行更多的投資。” 顯而易見,NFT逐漸從一條投資“隱顯”慢慢浮現成為一條趨勢“顯線”。
9月23號早上10點(週三),Beep幣撲邀請到Dapper Labs CEO/Flow創始人Roham,NFT首富/WHALE創始人WhaleShark,分佈式資本合夥人Rem Ong,一起聊一聊“NFT會是下一個投資風口嗎?”以下是採訪實錄:
Mia Bao:首先有請我們嘉賓先做一個簡單自我介紹,並且跟大家分享一下自己以及團隊的區塊鏈行業經歷吧? @Roham @WhaleShark @Rem Ong
Please give us a brief introduction about yourself and how you joined blockchain industry at the first place ?
Roham: Founder/ceo of dapper labs, before this i was founder/ceo of axiom zen, the company that created cryptokitties! Got into bitcoin back in 2013/2014 thanks to Dieter Shirley who was my CTO at Axiom Zen - he mined his first btc in 2010…! Summer of 2017 we basically went through 20+ different projects at Axiom Zen before choosing NFTs starting with CryptoKitties... Dieter writes ERC-721 the non-fungible token standard, then we build a little prototype with a team of 4-5 people that we launch at EthWaterloo.. That goes really well so we 4x the team and build most of CryptoKitties v1 in about a month 😅 and the rest is history.
大家好,我是dapper labs的創始人/首席執行官,在此之前,我是創建加密貓(cryptokitties母公司Axiom zen的創始人/首席執行官!我入圈要感謝Dieter Shirley,他是我在Axiom Zen的首席技術官,他在2013/2014年就開始使用比特幣-而且他在2010年就開采了第一個BTC ... 2017年夏天,在選擇以CryptoKitties開頭的NFT之前,我們基本上在Axiom Zen上經歷了20多個不同的項目... Dieter編寫了ERC-721非同質化代幣標準,然後我們4~5個人組成了一個小團體, 再然後我們在EthWaterloo上發布上線了~進展非常順利,後面我們將團隊提高了4倍的規模,並在大約一個月的時間內建立了大部分CryptoKitties v1~
Axiom Zen is the company behind products like zenhub.com (now 2nd largest partner of github, customers including big open source projects as well as apple microsoft nasa shopify and 500k+ other developers).
除此之外,Axiom Zen還是Zenhub.com背後的母公司(Zenhub現在是github的第二大合作夥伴,客戶包括大型開源項目,以及蘋果微軟公司的shopify和500k+其他開發者)。
WhaleShark:大家好啊,我是WHALE項目的創始人,我叫WhaleShark,這是第三次可以參加Beep Crypto的活動,非常榮幸!今天就語音跟大家交流吧,我首次接觸區塊鏈的這個行業是在2012年買了我的第一個比特幣,那時候投資了相當多的一些金額,然後在2015年完全轉換到以太坊,後來在2019年買了我的第一個NFT,從2019年到現在,目前為止已經收集了15000多個NFT,然後再2020年五月份我建立了Whale這個社區,迄今為止,WHALE市值已經超過5000萬,而且WHALE大戶也已經超過2500人。
Rem Ong:Hi, I'm Remington, and I'm a partner at Fenbushi Capital, the first and most active blockchain VC in Asia.
My early background was in computer science and investment banking, and by 2014, I had been involved in a number of startups when I was first introduced to Bitcoin and blockchain. Having this background helped me connect the dots quickly on how blockchain technology could revolutionize finance and other industries. I joined an early blockchain startup as a co-founder, and while looking for funding to scale, we realized in 2014 there were very few VCs who understood blockchain, which inspired us to start Asia's first blockchain VC.
For the past 5 years, we have been very active in building up the ecosystem, supporting over 120 teams globally using blockchain to disrupt a wide range of industries.
大家好,我是Remington,是亞洲第一家也是最活躍的區塊鏈風投——分佈式資本的合夥人。
我的早期背景是計算機科學和投資金融,到2014年,當我第一次接觸比特幣和區塊鏈時,我已經參與了許多初創公司。有了這樣的背景,我很快就能將區塊鏈技術如何徹底改變金融和其他行業聯繫起來。 2014年,我作為聯合創始人加入了一個早期的區塊鏈初創公司,在尋找資金的同時,我們意識到很少有VC了解區塊鏈,這啟發我們創辦了亞洲第一個區塊鏈VC 。
在過去的5年裡,我們一直非常積極地建立生態系統,支持全球120多個團隊使用區塊鏈顛覆傳統行業。
Mia Bao:2020年公鏈賽道依然擁擠,最受中國市場關注的ETH、Polkadot、Filecoin以及交易所公鏈已經搶佔了大部分市場眼球,請問Dapper Labs為什麼還要單獨開發一條公鏈呢?和以太坊相比,有什麼核心競爭力?對於Flow來說,你們面向的市場和用戶是誰,中國普通用戶可以如何參與呢?
But so far, Public chains like Etherum, Polkadot, Filecoin and exchange chain still keep flourishing. Why would Flow team decide to develop a new public chain? Compared with Ethereum, what core competitiveness does it have and what kinds of problem is it designed for solving? For Flow, What's your target markets and users, and how can ordinary Chinese users participate?@Roham
Roham:So we spoke to all those teams. We spent a year doing research into L2 and with different L1s. After cryptokitties’ launch we sat down with vitalik, dan larimer, the parity team, read 100+ white papers.. We did not feel any of them had a winning solution: from a technology perspective, almost all teams were pursuing some variant of sharding as a means of scaling the network – we believed (and we were right) that this makes application development and composability way harder. From a go to market perspective, none of these projects were thinking with the user experience in mind – they were building technology and hoping that other people would make them usable. But the problem is, when you don’t have a use-case in mind, your platform ends up being very impractical.
我們跟上述團隊都聊過了。我們花了一年的時間研究layer2和不同的layer1解決方案。在加密貓的啟動之後,我們和Vitalick,Dan,Parity團隊都聊過,閱讀了100+白皮書。 。 。 。但我們不認為他們有一個成功的解決方案:從技術的角度來看,幾乎所有的團隊都在追求某種版本的分片,作為擴展網絡的一種手段——但我們相信(我們是正確的) ,這使得應用程序開發和可組合性更加困難。
從市場的角度來看,這些項目都沒有考慮到用戶體驗——他們在構建技術,並希望其他人可以使用它們。但問題是,當你沒有一個使用案例的想法時,你的平台就會變得非常不切實際。
Compared to Ethereum 1, Flow keeps the same composability and synchronicity (every smart contract on ETH1 can interact with every other smart contract and wallet in a single atomic transaction --> this is the power of defi) but cuts cost 1000x and increases speed and throughput by orders of magnitude
與以太坊1相比,Flow保持了相同的可組合性和同步性(ETh1上的每個智能合約都可以在單個原子交易中與其他智能合約和錢包進行交互,這就是defi的強大),但是我們做到了成本降低1000倍,速度和吞吐量提高了幾個數量級。
Compared to ETH2 / NEAR / Polkadot / Dfinity / all the others, Flow is a much more powerful architecture that gets massive increases in speed and throughout WITHOUT sharding and without compromising decentralization
與ETh2/NEAR/Polkadot/Dfinity/所有其他架構相比,Flow是一個更加強大的架構,它在速度和整個過程中都得到了巨大的提升。
Basically: instead of sharding the network, Flow works the way modern CPUs - or supply chains – work: specialization. Different node types specialize in different stages of a transaction.
總而來說,Flow並沒有分割網絡,而是採用了現代的CPUs或供應鏈的工作方式來解決擴容問題;同時實現了各個節點的專業化,不同的節點專門負責交易的不同階段。
So you can still have very powerful machines doing the computation at datacenter scale, but you can also have thousands of less powerful machines that actually have the control (unlike EOS, Solana etc where powerful computers do most of the work *and* have all the control)
所以你仍然可以讓非常強大的機器在數據中心規模上進行計算,但是你也可以有成千上萬的不那麼強大的機器實際上擁有控制權(不像EOS,Solana等強大的計算機做大部分的工作*和*擁有所有的控制)
this is A16Z writing about the Flow architecture back when they led the first round for Flow: https://a16z.com/2019/10/14/flow-scalability-trilemma-blockchain-architectures/
這是A16Z關於流架構的文章,他們領投了Flow的第一輪投資:https://a16z.com/2019/10/14/flow-scalability-trilemma-blockchain-architectures/
Mia Bao:縱觀過去想要對標或者取締以太坊的公鏈從目前現狀來看,都還未成功,你們會擔心Flow落入同樣的結局嗎? @Rohambut looking back at public chains that wanted to benchmark or excel Ethereum in the past, they seem to fail from the current status quo, are you worried that Flow will fall into the same ending?@Roham
Roham: not only because our technology actually works and is practical,but also because we have a rock solid go to market strategy. 不僅是因為我們的技術是可行的,也是因為我們有一個堅實的市場戰略。
1)we have our flagship products, NBA Top Shot is already our most successful product ever
我們有我們的旗艦產品(成功案例),NBA Top Shot 已經是我們有史以來最成功的產品。
2) we have a long list of partners, 100+ companies with real projects not just pilots.you can see a big lis of them on our website but i can name drop some here: Ubisoft, Animoca, Warner Music, Turner Sports, Opensea, nWay, Sumo Digital (a tencent company) and many more
2)我們有非常多的合作夥伴,100多家公司有真正的項目,而不僅僅是試點。你可以在我們的網站上看到很多合作方比如:育碧、阿尼莫卡、華納音樂、特納體育、奧威賽、紐威、相撲數碼(騰訊公司)等等。
3)we already have an amazing indie developer community – you can check out the buzz on our discord.gg/flow - also check out the amazing flow developed portal: almost 3000 projects and over 6000 smart contracts have already been made using the Playground
4)我們已經有了一個非常棒的獨立開發者社區--大家可以來discord上來看看我們的火爆程度:discord.gg/flow ---還可以查看令人驚嘆的Flow開發界面:將近3000個項目和6000多個智能合同已經在開發了。
Mia Bao:NFT領域除了Flow的一些巨大進展之外,WHALE最近也是有很多進展! WHALE是最早在NFT+DeFi佈局的項目之一,而隨著WHALE的Pleage Mining,Liquility Mining, NFT Mining各系列動作之後,WHALE一直在穩步增長:更多人加入,更多使用場景,更好的流動性。但有人會提出異議WHALE是一個社交代幣,他的價值支撐與增長來自於哪裡?社區曾有人概括“WHALE=NFT領域的伯克希爾哈撒韋”,請問你會如何將WHALE運作模式與人們耳熟能詳的品牌對標? WHALE TANK目前運行如何,有沒有想要投資的標的? @WhaleShark
Besides the big update about Flow, Whale recently keep forward really fast as well. WHALE is one of the first projects to combine NFT+DeFi together. After pledge Mining, liquidity Mining, and NFT Mining , WHALE has been growing steadily: more people joined, more usage scenarios, and better liquidity. But some people will question about the real value and function of a social money, how do you respond to that? People in the community summed up that "WHALE = Berkshire Hathaway in the NFT field". How would you benchmark WHALE to other traditional bands ? How is WHALE TANK currently running? Are there any targets you want to invest in recently ? @WhaleShark
WhaleShark:最近社交代幣的增長非常快速,而且每個社交代幣的功能都是不一樣的。傳統來說,很多電子貨幣,他們的價值概念是反映未來的應用場景,以及對未來社會的可能貢獻映射。設計代幣時,我們會看見很多多元化的價值概念,我舉個例子,有一個社交代幣叫Alex,這個代幣,是代表Alex,這個人未來三年的收入份額。
還有個例子,最近新出來一個幣叫做Coin,這個是CoinArtist發行的一個社交代幣,這是一個知名遊戲公司創始人發行的,可允許人可以用它直接來去換更好的一些遊戲的資產。
那麼對於WHALE來說,其實我們的價值概念是四方面:第一方面,價值存儲。我們The Vault裡面有5000多個NFT,還沒有加進去的還有9000多個,而且這些NFT都是業界比較受歡迎的一些項目,而且可以說是最稀少的,最熱門的一些。所以價值儲存的功能應該會按照時間長的越來越快,按照每個月的報告來看,The Vault裡面的NFT資產每個月以三位數的漲幅在漲。
第二個功能就是交易媒介的功能,這個分兩部分來說。如果大家上OpenSea的話,你會發現很多藝術家不僅僅接受ETH支付,還在接受WHALE支付。另外,很多NFT的創作者已經發現WHALE是一個非常好的價值儲存載體,很多人會創造一些只能用WHALE來購買的作品。
WHALE的第三個功能可以算是一個能提供投資回報率的工具,我稍微解釋一下。最近WHALE社區推出了兩個DeFi功能的產品,第一個是流動性挖礦,第二個是Hold to Play(H2P)。
在流動性挖礦,如果你貢獻超過600美金在我們的流動性池子裡,每個月可以瓜分8000WHALE的獎勵。關於Hold to Play呢,在我們Discord裡面有兩個角色可以拿到WHALE獎勵,第一個是Whale,然後第二個是Dolphin,如果一個人持有600+的WHALE那他可以進入一個秘密渠道(中國用戶如果不上discord可以直接聯繫中國社區BeepCrypto),每月瓜分5500個WHALE獎勵,另一個是Dolphin,如果你在discord裡面有11個WHALE的話,也可以參與一些社區活動賺取WHALE。
第四個功能是比較心理學的功能,我們社區的大戶都是覺得好像拿著WHALE像是一個榮譽標誌。
那麼對於如何去拓展WHALE品牌呢,我們有三個主要活動:第一,我們要保持我們的核心競爭力,那我們的核心競爭力是什麼呢?就是The Vault裡面的NFT資產,我們必須持續增加未來價值會持續增長的NFT資產。核心產品也包括我們WHALE核心社區,我們現在已經有2500多個大戶,而且這個每個月都在漲。
第二個策略,就是我們會通過Podcast, articles等繼續推進WHALE的教育,我們社區裡面有一個Whale FM,我們會和很多NFT創始人進行對話,這也會加深大家對NFT的了解。
第三,我們也有一個WHALE營銷團隊,他們每個月都在做一些比較特殊的營銷活動。最後我們秉承一個原則,就是我們必須得保持WHALE社區的一個理念。就是公開公正共贏,公開呢,就是我們領導層的每一個行動都是可以通過區塊鏈來去正是證明的。公正呢,我們也不是把利潤放在第一位,而且是做正當的事情。然後第三個呢,就是無論如何我們做任何東西,我們都會追求一個共贏的結果,這樣的話大家都能正面的來去拓展這個新領域。
關於WHALE Tank,這是一個VC部分,我們是一個月之前開始的,而且那個時候他們整體的金額是8萬美金左右,目前的資本金額是在60萬左右,所以增長的也非常快。目前我們在用WHALE Tank來去做一些流動性挖礦,所以他每天都在漲,我剛看了昨天的收入,差不多是3000多美金左右。雖然現在沒有任何的一些投資的目標,我們會繼續把這個算是一個VC基金,等它漲到100萬美金左右,會開始去篩選一些比較好一點的項目去做一些天使投資。
Mia Bao:都說DeFi,分佈式存儲,波卡生態是區塊鏈2020年投資顯線,而NFT則可能是一條投資“隱線”,請問@Rem Ong,你們是怎麼看今年的投資賽道?你們在NFT這個賽道上進行了哪些佈局呢,投資邏輯是什麼?
It is said that DeFi, distributed storage, Polkadot ecology is the "clear investment targets" of blockchain in 2020, while NFT may be an investment "hidden line" (potential upcoming investment targets) , how do you see this year's investment chance? What have Fenbushi Capital done within NFT realm? What's the principles of investing a project ? @Rem Ong
Rem Ong: When looking at investments,there are always opportunities both in the short term and the long term. 在投資方面,短期和長期都一直有機會。
Take Polkadot for example, while a lot of investors started taking notice of the ecosystem this year, Fenbushi Capital invested in Parity Technologies in 2016 and in Polkadot's seed round in 2017, so it can take several years for a project to move from early development to mainstream awareness, and even now, there's still a long way to go for Polkadot to reach its full potential.
以Polkadot為例,雖然很多投資者今年開始關註生態系統,分佈式資本在2016年投資了Parity,並在2017年投資了Polkadot的種子輪。因此,一個項目從早期發展到主流還需要幾年的時間,即便是現在,波卡仍有很長的路要走,才能充分發揮潛力。
In the same way, I think right now, we are still in the early days of NFT use cases, and there is a lot of potential for growth in the future. When most people think about NFTs these days, it is usually linked to gaming, digital art, and blockchain domain names. But already, we are starting to see broader use cases for NFTs, from event ticketing to DeFi-linked insurance policies, and many of these use cases may be easier to explain to the non-crypto population. I think this is why some people see NFT as a “hidden line” for investment, because it is still very early, still not yet obvious for a lot of people, and there is very big potential for growth in the future.
同樣的,我認為現在,我們仍然處於NFT的早期階段,並且在未來還有很大的增長潛力。當大多數人想到NFT,它通常與遊戲、數字藝術和區塊鏈域名相關聯。但是,我們已經開始看到更廣泛的用例用於NFT,從票務到DeFi相關的保險,這些用例中的許多可能更容易向非加密用戶普及。我認為這就是為什麼一些人認為NFT是投資的“隱線”,因為它還處於非常早期的階段,對於很多人來說還不明顯,並且在未來還有很大的增長潛力。
In the NFT space, Fenbushi Capital has supported a number of projects, with announced ones including @roham Dapper Labs (creators of Cryptokitties), Mythical Games (creators of Blankos), and 8 Hours Foundation (creators of Vimworld).
在NFT領域,Fenbushi Capital投資了一些項目,已經宣布的項目包括@roham Dapper Labs(加密貓的創造者),Mythical Games(Blankos的創造者),和8小時基金會(Vimworld的創造者)。
As early stage investors, we place a lot of emphasis on the team and founders, that there is a good balance between strong technical capabilities and ability to execute and go to market, as well as a defensible competitive edge. So for instance, in Dapper Labs' case, investing in the team that created the ERC-721 standard plus the rock solid go-to-market strategy that Roham mentioned earlier made it an obvious choice
作為早期的投資者,我們非常重視團隊和創始人,在強大的技術能力和執行能力與上市能力之間有很好的平衡,也有可靠的競爭優勢。例如,在Dapper Labs的案例中,投資創建ERC-721標準的團隊,再加上Roham之前提到過的堅如磐石的市場戰略,這使得投資它成為一個明顯的選擇。
Mia Bao:Flow生態中已經有NBA、UFC、華納音樂、育碧遊戲、三星、幣安BUSD等行業巨頭,任何一個都有希望帶來海量用戶。在中國,DeFi發展受益於以太坊生態,波卡受益於Web3大量的Grants支持,Filecoin受益於百億級礦機生態,而就目前Flow披露的合作夥伴來看,僅有Cdot Network一家來自於中國。請問Dapper Labs將如何選擇生態合作夥伴?你們會通過什麼樣的方式增加社區的支持和凝聚力?會為生態發展提供什麼支持?是否會在中國成立團隊長期運營? @Roham Gharegozlou
In the Flow ecosystem, there are already industry giants such as NBA, UFC, Warner Music, Ubisoft Games, Samsung, Binance BUSD, and any of them can actually bring massive users. In terms of community fostering, the development of DeFi has benefited from the Ethereum ecosystem, Polkadot has benefited from Web3's massive Grants support, and Filecoin has benefited from the tens of billions of mining ecosystems. How will Dapper Labs choose ecological partners? What kinds of support will you provide for ecological development? Will you plan to set up a long-term partner in China? and how? @Roham Gharegozlou
Roham:We have lots of big brands and will continue to work with top 10 global IPs directly but we are really turning our focus to the community.我們有很多大品牌合作,並將繼續直接與全球排名前十的IPs合作,但我們正在把我們的重點轉向社區。
In terms of support: we have a network of non-profits, accelerators, and universities that developers can go to get FLOW credits from - so that no developer will be blocked from building on Flow because they dont have enough tokens to deply their first contract or onboard their first 1000 users. we call this the Cloudburst program and it includes everyone from the Andreessen Horowitz Cultural Leadership Fund to Yonsei and Berkeley University. We would love to find similar community organizations in China that can run a Flow validator node and distribute its rewards to their community in the way I'm describing here. This has been very successful.
在支持方面:我們有一個非營利網絡,加速器和大學,開發商可以去獲得FLOW學分-這樣,就不會有開發人員因為沒有足夠的代幣而不能在Flow上部署他們的第一個合同或首批1000用戶。我們稱之為Cloudburst 雲爆計劃,它包括從Andreessen Horowitz文化基金到Yonsei和伯克利大學的人員。我們很樂意在中國找到類似的社區組織,它們可以運行一個Flow節點,並以我在這裡描述的方式將其獎勵分配給社區。這已經被驗證是非常成功的了。
We dont' like "giving out grants" we don't think it's effective, but we do have a portion of our ecosystem development fund set aside as collateral subsidies for smart contract / protcol-based business models on Flow – think something like YFI but applicable to mainstream consumers. we'd like to use our FLOW to back and accelerate those kinds of projects. 」
我們不喜歡“直接給grants”,我們不認為它是有效的,但我們有我們的生態系統發展基金的一部分作為抵押補貼,用於智能合約/基於協議的商業模式。但適用於主流消費者。我們希望使用我們的FLOW來支持和加速這類項目。
Mia Bao:NFT是數字商品,要在具體場景中才會體現價值,繼而產生價格。 2017年有加密貓和Decentraland,2020年NFT概念再次翻紅,三年過去了,整個NFT賽道(基礎設施、單個NFT)發生了哪些重要變化,我們是否只是進入了周期性的概念Fomo之中?另外在NFT細分賽道中你最看中的領域是什麼?很多人認為現有的這些場景沒有那麼大的想像空間,認為NFT還需要拓展更廣一些的領域比如保險等金融領域,你們有沒有一些看法?認為NFT還可以和哪些進行結合會比較有意思? @WhaleShark @Rem Ong
CryptoKitties and Decentraland springed up in 2017 and now NFT seems to be popular again this year. what do you think change the most within the three years (infrastructure, NFT asscets,etc. ), or do we just Fomo with concept again with nothing changing ? Meanwhile, Which directions you believe have the most potential? Some people may think those existing scenarios are lack of imagination, and NFT can be applied to other senarios like insurance etc. How do you think? What else do you think NFT can be combined with? @WhaleShark @Rem Ong
Rem Ong: The space has definitely come a long way since 2017. When Cryptokitties was launched in 2017, you could only access it using Metamask, as no mobile wallets supported NFTs; Etherscan couldn’t show you the NFTs in your address, Opensea was just launching in beta, and ERC-721 was just a draft EIP, which wouldn’t be formalized until July 2018.
自2017年以來,NFT領域無疑已經走過了漫長的道路。當Cryptokitties在2017年推出時,大家只能使用Metamask訪問,因為不支持移動錢包。 Etherscan不能顯示NFT地址,Opensea只是測試版,而ERC-721僅僅是一個草稿,要到2018年7月才能正式發布。
Over the past 3 years, we’ve seen the space develop at a steady pace, with not only infrastructure maturing and new projects building using NFTs, but also the continued experimentation of new economic models in auctions, farming, etc. for NFT.
在過去的三年裡,我們看到了這個領域的穩步發展,不僅是基礎設施的成熟和新項目的建設使用。 NFTs同時也在拍賣、挖礦等領域不斷嘗試新的經濟模式。
Initially, trading of digital collectibles and art are easy to understand for many users, as are playing games with in-game assets or registering domain names. Now, we are starting to see some more complex use cases, whether it’s using valuable NFTs as collateral backing for tokens such as $WHALE or minting individual tradable insurance covers.
最初,數字收藏品和藝術品的交易對許多用戶來說很容易理解,就像玩遊戲中的資產或註冊域名一樣。現在,我們開始看到一些更複雜的用例,無論是使用有價值的NFTs作為抵押品背書的token,如$WHALE還是其他各可交易的個人背書型代幣。
Even major companies are experimenting with NFTs, as Nike patented a system for using NFTs to create digital shoes, where “breeding” these CryptoKicks like CryptoKitties can actually generate new shoe designs that may inspire Nike’s real world product development.
甚至大公司也在嘗試NFT,作為耐克專利的使用系統NFT為了創造數碼鞋,在那裡“繁殖”CryptoKicks就像CryptoKitties這樣,實際上可以激發產生新的鞋設計,可能會激發耐克的現實世界的產品開發。
Some people have speculated that NFTs could be linked to real world assets like real estate or physical art, but I think the biggest potential for NFTs lies in digital native assets. Domain names, for example, are a digital equivalent of real estate, as each domain name is unique, some have more value than others, and represent someone’s presence in the digital world. Just like country club memberships in the real world are resalable and offer the holder access to specialized services, NFTs can serve as a “membership card” to some digital services, possibly something as simple as a Netflix subscription that is tradable or as complex as accessing specific AI algorithms for computations.
一些人推測NFT可以與現實世界的資產,如房地產或物理藝術,但我認為最大的潛力NFT在於數字本土資產。例如,域名是房地產的數字等價物,因為每個域名都是獨一無二的,有些域名比其他域名有更多的價值,並代表某人在數字世界中的存在。就像現實世界中的鄉村俱樂部會員資格是可轉售的,並為持有者提供專業服務,NFT可以作為一些數字服務的“會員卡”,可能像Netflix訂閱一樣簡單,可以交易,也可以像訪問特定的人工智能算法一樣複雜。
There is a lot of room for imagination as well for convergence with other technologies. NFTs can be combined with distributed file storage where an NFT is like a “key” to a locker which gives you access to certain files or media. IoT can link NFTs to the physical world, where instead of having a physical key to a car, I can use an NFT in my wallet to unlock my car, and when I want to sell my car, I can just sell the NFT to someone else and I will no longer be able to access this car.
與其他技術融合的空間也很大。 NFT可以與分佈式文件存儲相結合,NFT就像進入儲物櫃的“鑰匙”,可以讓你訪問某些文件或媒體。物聯網可以將NFT連接到物理世界,在那裡,我可以使用錢包中的NFT打開汽車的鎖,當我想賣掉我的車時,我可以把NFT賣給其他人,這樣我就不能再訪問這輛車了。
In summary, we’ve come a long way since CryptoPunks and CryptoKitties, but there is still so much potential in NFTs that has yet to be unlocked.
綜上所述,我們已經走過了很長的路,但仍然有這麼多的潛力。 NFTs還是一個沒有打開的新機遇。
WhaleShark:我覺得王總說的非常好,非常全面啊,我就再增加幾個點吧。第一個,別說是前三年,僅僅這一年就已經看見了非常大的成長。第一個來說就是項目以及產品的一個多元化,三年之前可能你只有CK,還有DCL吧。但是現在如果你看NFT領域的話,你也有這個加密藝術啊,就是有包含潛能變成AAA的遊戲,像Gods Unchained,還有這些授權的這些收藏品,比如,Dapper Labs的NBA top shot,Godfather好像也在創造一些比較有特色的收藏品。
而且現在產品也是越來越多元化,之前可能只有一些遊戲的資產,但是現在呢,有2D的這些電子藝術,收藏品,反而現在好像我比較看好的,就是這些3D的這些數碼藝術以及收藏品。第一個,就是整體環境的一個成長,之前可能你只有一個地方可以去買產品,而且沒有地方可以去展示,但是現在,像CV或者SandBox之類的產品,可以讓你把你的收藏品展示NFT資產來貸款,或者你也可以去做NFT的部分所有權。第三個變化,就是領域給別人看,達到一個更深刻的交流。第二個,就是金融方面的一個成長,現在大家還可以用裡面的一個競爭的一個增長吧,量變產生質變,比如我們說加密藝術,你現在superare,KnownOrigin,makersplace,市場競爭越來越多。虛擬世界呢,像DCL,CV,Sandbox,這些項目也是在進入一個比較大一點的一個競爭期,所以也是在推高質量。然後連我們在一個NFT公鏈方面也在看見很大的一個競爭,本來大家好像都是在以太坊上面好像在弄,但是後來Wax是在EOS上弄的,現在又有Flow,Immutable X等等,我覺得好像這個競爭是非常健康的,而且未來用戶體驗也會變得越來越好。
我最後的一點就是三年之前的一個變化,就是收藏家,我昨天去看了資料,可能三年之前,整體行業的一個銷售金額大概是5萬美金左右,那麼如果現在的話,平均大概是在15萬左右一天,所以這已經是一個三倍的增長,而且我們都還沒有進入主流市場。
Mia Bao:跟過去的擴容解決方案例如分片,二層網絡或側鏈之類不同的是,Flow創建了獨特的多節點架構,在不損失安全性的同時又保證了去中心化,這是如何做到的?請問Flow將如何挑選節點,節點的權益、義務與獎勵是什麼?所有面向DAPP的公鏈都在爭奪開發者,請問Flow將如何培養開發者?在接下來的6個月裡,你最期待Flow上出現怎樣的應用? @Roham
Unlike the former scaling solutions like Sharding, layer2 or sidechains, Flow has created an unique multi-node architecture without loss of safety or decentralization, how does that work? would that be like limited of block-producers(like EOS)? why would that would balance balance both safety and decentralization? @Roham
Roham:the full answer is 100+ pages of technical papers here: https://www.onflow.org/technical-paper。
詳情可以查看這裡。
the more straightforward answer i hinted at above which is – Flow essentially lets nodes specialize, so you have four different node types each working on one part of the block production process. This lets you have massive decentralization and participation at the consensus and verification steps while having powerful computers that are doing a lot of work – but dont have any control – at the execution and collection steps.
我在上面提到的是:Flow會希望讓節點專門化,所以你有四個不同的節點類型,每個節點在塊生產過程的一個部分上工作。這讓你有大規模的權力下放和參與的共識和核查步驟,而有強大的計算機正在做很多工作,但沒有任何控制的執行和收集步驟。
Consensus Nodes are responsible for consensus in the network — that is, they decide what transactions make it onto the blockchain and in what order.
- Execution Nodes perform the computation associated with each transaction once their presence and order on the blockchain has been finalized by the Consensus Nodes.
- Verification Nodes are responsible for keeping the Execution Nodes in check.
- And finally, Collection Nodes form a peer-to-peer network that offers the network connectivity and data availability.
共識節點負責網絡中的共識——也就是說,他們決定哪些交易在區塊鏈上以及以何種順序進行。
執行節點執行與每個交易相關的計算,一旦他們在區塊鏈上的存在和順序被共識節點確定。
-驗證節點負責檢查執行節點。
最後,收集節點形成一個點對點網絡,提供網絡連接和數據可用性。
The beauty of this separation is that Consensus and Verification Nodes, whose role is the most critical for the integrity of the network, can optimize for the security + decentralization side of the triangle in the trilemma.
Execution and Collection Nodes, conversely, do work that is fully deterministic (making them less vulnerable to attack). Their work is also verified and held accountable by the other node types. They can therefore safely optimize for security + scalability.
這種分離的美妙之處在於,共識和驗證節點,其作用對於網絡的完整性來說是最關鍵的,可以優化三角的安全+去中心化側。
-執行和收集節點,相反,做完全確定性的工作(使它們不那麼容易受到攻擊)。它們的工作也由其他節點類型進行驗證和問責。
因此,它們可以安全地優化安全性+可伸縮性。
Mia Bao:近期有很多人在嘗試NFT+DeFi的玩法(WHALE、MEME、yNFT、Aavegotchi),甚至有人認為兩者結合將會引發新一波熱潮,請問各位嘉賓,針對NFT+DeFi這個方向,目前有什麼想法和計劃? @Everyone
Lately, many people are interested in a new model combining NFT and DeFi together(WHALE、MEME、yNFT、Aavegotchi,etc.). People believe NFT + DeFi will be a key to unlock the next wave of mainstream adoption,what's your perspective ? @Rem Ong 王禮明@WhaleShark @roham
Rem Ong : I am extremely excited by all the experimentation in the space, but I think it’s too early to say NFT+DeFi will lead to mainstream adoption this year. There is very clear value for using NFTs in financial applications, and using them in the DeFi context, whether it’s as collateral or as a claim to certain assets is a good first step.
我非常興奮這個領域中的所有的實驗,但我認為現在說NFT+DeFi成為主流今年還為時過早。有非常明確的使用價值NFTs在金融應用中,以及在DeFi環境中使用它們,無論是作為抵押品還是作為對某些資產的債權,都是很好的第一步。
NFT+DeFi can also create new financial markets that are impractical to implement in the real world. Take mortgages for example, each individual mortgage is tied to a specific property, and thus is non-fungible. Because it’s inefficient to buy and sell individual mortgages in traditional finance, lenders have packaged them in a basket which can then be resold in a fungible manner, e.g. mortgage bonds. By leveraging the efficiencies of blockchain, you can create a pool of mortgages and issue fungible ERC-20 tokens against the basket, or you could buy and sell individual ERC-721s representing individual mortgages as well. You could even issue ERC-20 tokens representing fractional ownership of each individual mortgage, and use robo-advisory algorithms to create your own portfolio of different individual mortgages according to your risk appetite.
NFT+DeFi還可以創造新的金融市場,那些在現實世界中實施是不切實際的場景。以抵押貸款為例,每個個人抵押與特定的財產,因此是不可替代的。因為在傳統金融中買賣個人抵押貸款效率低下,貸款人將其打包成一個籃子,然後以可替代的方式轉售,例如抵押債券。通過利用區塊鏈的效率,你可以創建一個抵押庫,並發行可替代的ERC-20代幣,或者你也可以購買和出售代表個人抵押的單個ERC-721。你甚至可以發行代表每個抵押貸款部分所有權的ERC-20代幣,並使用機器人智能算法根據你的風險偏好創建自己的不同抵押貸款組合。
Roham: Personally I think NFTs will lead to mainstream adoption this year, which will allow for consumer-scale "defi" usecases (that to consumers will feel more like Robin Hood and Wealthfront than anything else)
我個人認為NFTs將會在今年(接下來12個月)被主流所採用,這會讓DeFi進入大規模範圍視野(對消費者來說,這將比其他任何東西都更像Robin Hood和Wealthfront) 。
Super mainstream-ready experience – now imagine if you have a large collection and you want to take out a loan, or you want to bundle it and trade with someone else, or fractionalize your collection like Whaleshark – those become really easy and sustainable with a big enough userbase. but ti's all about user experience and user value
想要成為主流的體驗-現在想像一下,如果你有很大一批收藏,你想貸款,或者你想把他們打包,然後和別人交易,或像WhaleShark一樣細分你的收藏-NFT會讓這一切變的很容易,很可持續化,如果你有一個足夠大的用戶基礎話,但最終產品的關鍵都會是用戶體驗和用戶價值。

WhaleShark:我覺得DeFi和NFT是一個很好的而結合,我們WHALE早就在玩流動性挖礦,H2P,以及NFT Mining了。我們這個NFTMining,就是這些藝術家會創造作品,只能用WHALE來進行購買,通過他們每個月的銷售份額,我們有一個2000多個WHALE的一個基金,獎勵給他們。
最後就是我們也會把一些作品airdrop給我們的流動性提供者,所以大家做流動性挖礦不僅僅可以賺WHALE還可以賺NFT。
Mia Bao:前兩天Uniswap發布了平台代幣Uni,從流動性挖礦的數據來看,現在不管是DeFi還是CeFi,都淪為了大戶的遊戲,散戶參與的門檻很高也沒有太多利潤,針對於這個現象,你們怎麼看? UNI已經成為名副其實的DEX第一名,請問各位嘉賓如何看待DEX與CEX的競爭?另外,在你們個人的投資組合中,排名前五的是哪些加密貨幣? @Everyone
Several days ago, Uniswap released its platform token Uni. According to the data of its liquidity mining, whether it is DeFi or CeFi, it seems to be a game of whales where the threshold for retail investors is extremely high. What's your perspective? Uniswap has clearly been the top 1 DEX in the world, how would you see the competition between DEX and CEX? Besides, what's the top 5 cryptos in your portfolio? @Everyone
Roham: I'm a fan of the product and of the team, definitely agree DEXs are critical to long-term healty of crypto ecosystems – but CEXs are necessary for onramps and offramps which will be important likely forever so... not a competition! let's make the pie bigger and grow adoption together :)
我是這個產品和團隊的粉絲,我非常同意DEXs對於加密生態系統的長期健康是至關重要的,但是CEXs是必要的。讓我們把蛋糕做大,共同成長:)
Rem Ong: For any product, there is an adoption curve. For a DeFi or CeFi product, professional investors and traders will usually be the early adopters, and retail and individual users will follow after. This is why it appears DeFi is dominated by whales right now.
But I think one key difference is that there are no barriers for anyone to participate in DeFi. In traditional finance, there is no such thing as a retail market maker, because of minimum capital requirements, licensing requirements, etc. With Uniswap, someone could contribute 0.01 ETH to the liquidity pool and be a market maker. So DeFi truly opens up new opportunities for users that they didn't have before.
對於任何產品,都有一個發展曲線。對於DeFi或CeFi產品,專業投資者和交易員通常是早期採用者,散戶和個人用戶將緊隨其後。這就是為什麼DeFi現在被鯨魚統治的原因。
但我認為一個關鍵的區別是,任何人參與DeFi都沒有障礙。在傳統金融中,由於最低資本要求、許可要求等原因,不存在零售市場做市商。有了Uniswap,有人就可以為流動性池貢獻0.01 ETH,成為做市商。因此,DeFi真正為用戶打開了他們以前沒有的新機會。
I think DEXes have come a long way in terms of matching, liquidity, and scalability, but still have many issues like high gas fees, slow throughput, user experience. As of now, I think there will continue to be tradeoffs between CEXes (faster matching and settlement) and DEXes (better security, broader set of trading pairs), and both might coexist for some time
我認為DEXes在匹配、流動性和可擴展性方面已經取得了很大的進步,但是仍然存在很多問題,比如高昂的天然氣費用、緩慢的吞吐量和用戶體驗。到目前為止,我認為CEXes(更快的匹配和結算)和DEXes(更好的安全性,更廣泛的交易對)之間將繼續進行權衡,而且兩者可能會共存一段時間。
WhaleShark:我是非常支持uniswap和AMM,因為我覺得他會帶來兩個核心的優勢吧。第一個優勢,就是它沒有AML和KYC,雖然,我本人也會用一些大的交易所,但是我一直都覺得AML跟QL這些手續,有些時候不是太準確,而且花費很長時間,我去年註冊了一個Binance的賬號,但還到現在還沒有KYC和AML結束。
我覺得uniswap有成為世界最大的交易所的潛能,所以其實他們剛上uni的時候我本人也買了非常多的UNI。
我目前portfolio裡面主要ETH、Tezos、UNI、WHALE、穩定幣包括USDC和USDT。然後絕對不可以忘記,就是未來的flow,還有Immutable X快要上線的,這個也是一個NFT的一個攻略吧。
Mia Bao:我們知道接下來大家都會開始推出一些新動作,那是否可以有請各位嘉賓想跟大家透露一下接下來的計劃呢?以及接下來的行情你們怎麼看@Everyone

WhaleShark:這次我是第三次跟大家分享WHALE的未來進展,現在不管是NFT方向還是DeFi方向我們都還是挺積極在發展。我們會在每週一早上十點開會,到時候都可以把會議進展公佈給大家。但是我可以說,目前NFT的這個趨勢肯定只會變得越來越火,而且WHALE
目前在這個領域的定位挺好的,最近一些金融機構還有一些金融分析機構的會議還是比較多啊,所以我可以跟大家說,NFT肯定是未來的一個DeFi,如果大家還沒接觸過,歡迎你們來WHALE社區感受一下,或者直接打算去買一些NFT試試看吧。
Rem Ong : Fenbushi Capital has spent the past 5 years building the ecosystem, attracting new entrepreneurs to build new ideas in the space.
In the next 5 years, our focus is on growing and scaling the space, working with our portfolio to bring the first billion users to benefit from blockchain.
In the time we've been in the space, we've already seen many cycles and short term volatility is a given. But we always remain long term bullish , and seeing entrepreneurs like @roham and @WhaleShark continuing to push the space forward is our bullish signal!
在過去的5年裡,分佈式資本一直在構建生態系統,吸引著新的創業者在這個領域中建立新的想法。
在接下來的5年,我們的重點是增長和擴展空間,與我們的投資組合,使第一用戶受益於區塊鏈。
在我們進入這個領域的這段時間裡,我們已經看到了很多周期,短期波動是一個給定的結果。但我們總是保持長期看漲,看到企業家們喜歡我們。 @roham和@WhaleShark繼續推進空間前進是我們看漲的信號!
