David Hoffman: 我对Berachain的了解不深,但鉴于其主网已启动,我认为现在是时候让Smokey来节目上直接教我Berachain是什么,以及它的核心创新——流动性证明,能给行业带来什么。我认为流动性证明是一个有效的经济实验,但结果不确定且未经证实,它的成功需要相对较强的自上而下的控制和影响,以确保一切平衡。流动性证明是一种三方关系,包括Berachain的应用层、验证者集合(如质押者)和一个持有不可转让的Berachain治理代币的新经济参与者。除了区块链的常规货币(如以太坊的ETH,Berachain的BARA)之外,还有一个额外的治理代币BGT,用于指导验证者和应用层之间的经济资源。这种额外的机制是真正解锁区块链经济的缺失环节,还是不必要变量的混乱引入,破坏了BearChain系统的安全性和可持续性?BearChain是一种全新的Layer 1,具有与以往不同的特点。 Smokey the Bera: BearChain的“迷因”定位是一个意外之喜,它最初是一个关于熊和烟斗的NFT项目。我们决定让这些熊有效地倍增或重新设定基数。我们发现,来自DeFi原生discord社区的人们,在曲线上分布得很广,他们既喜欢有趣的熊的JPEG,也对其中的博弈论或流动性机制感兴趣。我们从NFT的角度与这些人交谈后发现,他们提出了很多想法,并进行了很多富有成效的对话,我们想做一些超越传统的动物主题NFT项目的事情。尽管有数百万甚至数十亿美元的资金在保护这些链,但网络本身并没有真正的流动性。BearChain的目标是构建一个允许在协议层面协调流动性和安全性的链。我们希望激励措施能使用户在分配资本时朝着相同的方向努力,而不是像现在这样朝着不同的方向努力。BearChain旨在构建流动性和安全性并行的链,并利用它来支持应用层,为应用程序在基础层上存在提供差异化的经济理由。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, we speak with Smokey the Bera, co-founder of Berachain, about the project’s newly launched mainnet and its innovative Proof of Liquidity model. The discussion unpacks Berachain’s unique three-way relationship between its app layer, validators, and a nontransferable governance token that reimagines traditional proof of stake systems. Smokey explores both the potential benefits and the challenges of this economic experiment as it seeks to reshape blockchain economics. We also spotlight our sponsor Morpho, whose cutting-edge integration of DeFi with traditional finance is driving new opportunities in the market.
