Prelude:整体基调毋庸置疑的“稳中向好”的,这是符合a16z价值的narrative。实际情况如何我个人较为保守,但这篇报告(以及ppt)仍然是很好的对web3的背书

Takeaway from the Report

我们正在第四轮的"price-innovatin"循环中
什么是Price-Innovation Cycle
价格是web3很重要的实时参考指数。价格吸引兴趣,兴趣带来idea,idea带来activity/action,最后带来创新。这个feedback loop就是Price-Innovation Cycle
Winter thaws in the heat of summer, and summer gives way to the chill of winter
前三次P-I Cycle是什么?
答案不固定且文章中没有给出,但我觉得应该是
比特币take off -> crypto asset的金融交易价值
以太坊诞生 -> 区块链作为infra的新互联网世界:dapp,defi,etc
以太坊升级及生态 -> Alt L1, L2, Cross-chain bridge

Web3对内容创作者更加友好
创作者可以保留更多的利润:2021年Ethereum-based NFT销售约为$3.9bn,而Facebook同期分给创作者的利润只有$1bn(<1% of total revenue)
According to our analysis, web3 paid out $174,000 per creator, while Meta paid out $0.10 per user, Spotify paid out $636 per artist, and YouTube paid out $2.47 per channel. Web3 is tiny but mighty.
Li Jin (a16z ex-partner)是这方面的advocate
除去NFT外,其他形式的content creation却并没有take off as imagined

Web3对现实世界的影响
全球有17亿人没有银行账户,但其中的10亿人有智能手机。因此web3提供了去中心化的一个解决方案

Web3的一些protocol也在挑战giant ( for decentralized wireless, for control over identity) 或者提供新型的解决方案 ( on carbon credit)
但实际上giant的挑战者仍然十分早期,核心问题在于web3 adoption还很低;Helium(以及最近的) 都大量集中在东西海岸,且是个挖矿-heavy的protocol
以太坊领头区块链,但Alt 1紧随其后
Alt 1 season源自于2016年Union Square发布的,描述一个和web2互联网逻辑倒转的未来:在web3,绝大多数的利益是保留在了L1协议层上,而不是应用层上。
当然,后续有follow up的challenge,但也正是(particially)因为这个thesis,Solana,Binance,Mina,Polygon,NEAR,Polka,Cosmos等新型L1才会出现

在某种竞争层面上,Alt L1与L2扩容方案是对抗的;他们指向两个不同的未来(即,多链世界(以及与之而来的跨链桥) vs 以太坊领头)。如果想要系统了解L2可以refer到我的学习笔记本(,
Beyond challenger blockchains, we’re also seeing incredible progress with interoperability, which allows people to “bridge” assets from one blockchain to another, as well as “layer 2” technologies, such as optimistic rollups and zero-knowledge rollups, which aim to lower costs by expanding available

还很早!
A16Z估计大约有7M - 50M的以太坊用户;这大约是互联网1995年的程度。A16Z预估,如果按照预期发展下去,在2031年Web3将会迎来10亿用户。机会仍然大量存在
