What Can Be Created Based on Decentralized Social Networks
Instead of thinking about what kind of social applications decentralization can bring, we should ask: if we have a decentralized social network, what products can we build based on this network?

Have you fallen into the ‘rabbit hole’ of covenants?
Poly asked me if I had fallen into the rabbit hole of covenants. I asked him why "covenants" was a rabbit hole. This interview delves into the exploration of covenants but also magnifies a slice of Bitcoin under a microscope for observation.

What Can Be Created Based on Decentralized Social Networks
When we talk about decentralized social, we usually refer to a class of products or protocols that have decentralized characteristics and are related to social media. When we discuss how to build such products, we often consider how to use decentralized technologies or even blockchain to create them, and how to bring the benefits of decentralization and blockchain to social users. While this perspective is not wrong, it resembles Maslow’s hammer: “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks...

当我们有了一个去中心化的社交网络
当我们谈论去中心化社交时,通常指的是一类产品或协议,它们具有去中心化的特征,它们与社交有关。当我们谈论如何去建设这类产品时,通常思考的是如何用去中心化的技术甚至区块链技术打造产品,如何给社交用户带来去中心化和区块链能带来的好处。从这个角度思考问题虽然没错,但它更像是马斯洛的锤子:“如果你只有一把锤子,那么所有的东西看起来都像钉子。”去中心化是那个锤子,而社交产品是看上去像钉子的东西。 我们不妨换一个角度,不是去思考去中心化能带来什么样的社交产品,而是思考:如果有了一个去中心化的社交网络,能基于这个网络创造出什么产品。我们已经有了一些这样的网络,比如由Farcaster带来的。我会把一切基于去中心化社交网络建设出来的产品或协议归类为去中心化社交,即便该产品本身是中心化的,即便该产品不是典型的社交产品。 要回答“基于去中心化的的社交网络能创造出什么”,首先要回答的问题是:当我们有了一个去中心化的社交网络,我们有了什么?我们至少有了去中心化的数据、去中心化的关系、去中心化的身份;以及我们可以进行去中心化的开发和建设。本文将从这些方面展开,探讨去中心化社交的可能性。去中心化的数据去中心化...

Farcaster: A Brand-New Community Built on Top of Decentralized Social Networks
Every Friday, Farcaster is filled with a relaxed atmosphere. People greet each other with “Happy Friday” and “touch grass,” and even the cash cannon (a method for mass tipping) seems to be used more frequently on that day. It’s hard to sense this vibe on social media platforms on a Friday, but you can feel it in the office just before the end of the workday. I know some people come to Farcaster, take a quick look, and leave saying, “How is it different from Twitter?” Let me tell you, when you...

Farcaster,建立在去中心化社交网络之上的全新社会
每到周五,Farcaster上就会洋溢着一种轻松的氛围。人们互相说“Happy Friday”,“touch grass”,就连那一天的cash cannon(一种批量打赏的方法)似乎也格外多。你很难在周五的社交媒体上感受到这种气氛,但你能在周五下班前的办公室感受到这种气氛。我知道一些人来Farcaster转了一圈,丢下一句“这和Twitter有什么区别”后转身离开。让我告诉你,当你理解Farcaster上周五的轻松氛围时,你就能知道Farcaster 与Twitter 的区别。一座建设中的城市Farcaster是一座正在建设中的城市,目前这里的一切基本都是以建设者为中心的。 Farcaster的绝大多数基础设施是为建设者服务的。类似于Twitter的post,Farcaster 的基本构成单元是cast;但不同于post 只有内容输出功能,Farcaster上的frames 和actions 使得casts 能提供的远超内容。frames更多的是面向casts 的发布者,它使得发布者能够以casts 的形式为他人提供应用或服务;actions更多的是面向casts 的接收者,它...

New ERCs Brings a New Future
New protocols will open up new applications, and new applications may bring users to the blockchain with non-investment and non-financial needs, allowing the dragon to grow its other wing.

新的ERC,新的未来
在上一轮熊市中,人们心中的疑惑是“区块链到底有没有用”,然后我们见到了Uniswap的力量,以及随之而来的DeFi的勃勃生机。“区块链到底有没有用”的问题得到了一个肯定的回答。 在这一轮熊市中,有很多人深耕着DeFi,也有很多人再一次有了疑惑,“区块链还能用来干其他的什么”。不是因为不知足,而是目前的区块链就像仅有一只翅膀的巨龙,被困在有限的地盘打转,唯有当它的另一只翅膀也长出来,才会一飞冲天。也唯有当它的另一只翅膀也长出来,第一只翅膀的力量才可以真正的释放。 翅膀会从哪里长出来?它不会来自于链的层级,比如新链或新layer,这些是龙的躯干而不是龙的翅膀;它会来自于链上应用的层级,而且极大可能来自于新标准/新协议下而不是旧协议下的应用。在大家都绞尽脑汁创新了好几年的前提下,旧协议没能带来惊喜。 在这篇文章中,我想讨论个人最喜欢的三个新标准/新协议,ERC-6551、ERC-5169、ERC-404。新协议会打开新的应用方向,而新的应用方向会有可能给区块链带来非投资需求和非金融需求的用户,让龙长出另一只翅膀。ERC-6551ERC-6551其貌不扬,却有着广阔的叙事空间,本文仅探讨...
