How Intent-Driven Shape DeFi 3.0

Intent-driven applications will be an important component of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) 3.0. This article introduces the potential of intent-driven applications and emphasizes the need to be concise when exploring all possible use cases. It then delves into several popular current decentralized trading models: the Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) model, the Liquidity Provider (LP) model, the Automated Market Maker (AMM) and virtual Automated Market Maker (vAMM) models, and hybrid models. Each model has its own advantages and disadvantages. The article also discusses the aggregator model and the solver model (intent-driven), noting that the solver model's application in the derivatives field is still immature but has made significant progress in other cryptocurrency areas. Finally, the article summarizes three main challenges in the intent-driven field: solver competition leading to centralization, fragile solver infrastructure for complex intents, and high thresholds for deploying and operating solvers.

AI x Crypto - Promises and Realities

AI+Crypto is one of the most notable frontier areas in the recent cryptocurrency market. This includes decentralized AI training, GPU DePINs, and censorship-resistant AI models. The main issue with AI training lies in the need for high-speed communication and coordination between GPUs, as neural networks require backpropagation during training. Introducing a decentralized network can significantly slow down the process due to increased network latency and bandwidth. This article also organizes solutions to the current challenges and provides examples of how the integration of cryptocurrency and AI can add significant value.

DePIN: Constructing a Decentralized Value Network via Dual Curves

Under decentralization, the layout and utilization of infrastructure in DePIN can achieve higher efficiency and lower costs while enhancing the overall system's security and resilience. Unlike traditional centralized equipment providers, the updating and maintenance of DePIN equipment are jointly undertaken by project teams and miners. Equipment providers are only responsible for the research, development, and sale of the equipment, while the updating and maintenance are completed by the supply-side users. For DePIN projects, realizing data interoperability between multiple chains can maximize the value of data. This not only represents a potential breakout point for the DePIN track but also directly benefits cross-chain protocols amid this growth wave.

Paradigm and Lido Supported Symbiotic Re-Staking Protocol

Symbiotic is a shared security protocol that acts as a coordination layer, enabling network builders to control and adjust their (re)staking strategies in a permissionless manner. Considering the current re-staking protocol EigenLayer supports only ETH and some ETH derivative staking, while Symbiotic supports staking of any asset following the ERC-20 token standard, the two may become direct competitors.
