加密寒冬，Worldcoin 凭什么拿下 1 亿美元融资？ Translation:

Crypto winter, why did Worldcoin secure $100 million in funding?

Last week, Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, revealed that he is seeking $100 million in new funding for his new cryptocurrency project, Worldcoin. Sources say that the new round of funding has received support from existing and new investors. As early as 2022, Worldcoin received investments from institutions such as Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Khosla Ventures, with a valuation of up to $3 billion. This means that the project's valuation has tripled in just one year. It is not easy to raise funds during the cryptocurrency winter, and it is even more difficult to obtain such a large amount of funding. Why did Worldcoin, which was previously unknown, receive capital favor two years later and still be able to secure huge investments with a valuation of $3 billion during the cryptocurrency winter? What investment potential do investors see in Worldcoin? What does Worldcoin mean for the wallet track and the cryptocurrency industry?

Milady experienced a sharp rise and then fell back. How to use NFTFi for shorting and hedging in extreme market conditions?

On May 11th, Twitter CEO Musk posted a tweet on social media with the Milady Maker series NFT image attached, along with the caption "There is no meme, I love you". This tweet caused the floor price of Milady Maker to skyrocket from about 3.75 ETH to over 7 ETH in just one hour. However, similar to Musk's intermittent "shilling" of Doge Coin, the price of Milady Maker also surged and then fell sharply after Musk's tweet. When the "top signal" appeared, hedging and shorting may be the biggest demand for Milady's holders/NFT traders. But unlike Doge Coin, Milady Maker, as an NFT, has characteristics such as non-fungibility and poor liquidity. To solve this problem, perpetual contract protocols for NFTs have emerged. This article will introduce the two mainstream NFT perpetual contract protocols currently on the market: nftperp and NFEX.

对标 Uni V3，日均资本效率达 100% 以上 Maverick 是什么来头

What is Maverick, which achieves a daily capital efficiency of over 100% and benchmarks against Uni V3?

After being launched for a month, Maverick, which was once among the top three in terms of transaction volume on the Ethereum mainnet, has a TVL that is only less than one percent of Uniswap and Curve. After the Shanghai upgrade on April 12th, more than 18 million ETH were unlocked on the Ethereum network, indicating an increase in activity and significant changes in the DeFi market.

However, there is still an obvious problem, which is the huge limitations in the current AMM field. One is the low capital utilization rate of AMM, whether it is the early xy=k model or the later Uniswap V3 model, most of the trading pairs on decentralized exchanges do not have enough depth. The second is that impermanent loss has not been fundamentally solved, and relying on token economics compensation is ultimately unsustainable. The DeFi industry urgently needs to solve this problem, and the Maverick protocol has come into view at the right time for users.
