Gyotaku is a traditional form of Japanese art from over 100 years ago as a way for fishermen to keep a record of the fish they caught. Sumi ink is applied to one side of a fish, the fish is then covered with rice paper to make a print https://t.co/A4QPOXEUGz

🚨Media Advisory: 🔗https://t.co/6bi3WWOCtD Ice-clearing Activities Along The St. Lawrence River Ice-clearing activities will begin on or about March 15, 2025, throughout the St. Lawrence River, including the area between the Eisenhower and Snell Locks in preparation for the Seaway’s upcoming navigation season. All ice fishermen, snowmobile operators, and All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) operators should refrain from using the areas where ice has been cleared to avoid numerous open water leads and unstable ice cover caused by the clearing. Restriction of Recreational Activities Between Eisenhower and Snell Locks All persons are to refrain from using the canal in the area between the Eisenhower and Snell Locks due to the possibility of unstable ice cover. The Montreal-Lake Ontario section of the St. Lawrence Seaway is scheduled to open at 8 a.m., March 22.

在 Babylon TGE 之际，回看 BTC 生态 1/ 两个派别 一派是「向内求」，以 Ordinals 和 BRC-20 为代表的 Meta Protocol，首次让任何人可以在 BTC 上发行山寨资产，让「BTC 生态」进入行业视野；随后，又有了围绕这些新资产服务的 BTC L2 (扩容/提速) 和 Bitcoin DeFi (加杠杆) 两个分支，包括新资产的借贷、稳定币、DEX 等。 另一派是「向外求」的 BTCFi，核心不是服务于山寨资产，而是瞄向 $BTC 本身。包括围绕 BTC 的借贷、流动性质押等，让 BTC 到其它生态的 DeFi 和安全性里面去。 过去大半年里，市场对于第二派有更高的预期，第一派还在休整中。 2/ 双边市场 行业一直在不遗余力地挖掘 BTC 的流动性价值。毕竟对于一个万亿美元级的资产，能拿到 1% 的参与度，就是一个 DeFi 超大项目了。 广义上的 BTCFi 可以追溯到 2019 年的 wBTC 等资产，已经有 6 年多时间。 相比六七年的中心化桥 & 锚定 & 封装方案，Babylon 发现了另一个全新的技术方案，也因此成为这轮 BTCFi 新项目的龙头代表。 第一是安全性，Babylon 首创了原生 BTC 无需许可的自我托管方式。BTC 不会离开用户的钱包。安全是巨鲸参与的底气，因此才有巨鲸单钱包质押了 1 万枚 BTC (当时约 10 亿美元) 的壮举，成为史上最大规模的原生 BTC 质押。 第二是商业模式，去年 4 月我们邀请过 Babylon 的 CTO @baby_fisherman 在 @ThreeBitcoiners 聊过一期 Space (https://t.co/7kvFCiApfW)，当时我问了不少问题，Fisher 耐心而清晰地介绍了 Babylon 的商业模式，是构建了一个双边市场。供给端是 Bitcoin 网络的原生安全性、流动性和用户，需求端是其它 PoS 公链、Rollup 扩容方案和数据可用性层。如果说 Bitcoin 是太阳系，那么 Babylon 就是一支「银河护卫队」，去质押以保护其它 PoS 星球 (网络) 的安全并获得激励，而不会增加更多的能源成本。 所以 Babylon 并不是另一个 Bitcoin L2 公链，而是构建了比特币安全网络 (Bitcoin Secured Networks, BSN)，将其它 PoS 公链和 BTC 持有者连接起来，在释放了比特币安全性、流动性的同时，还为 BTC 探索出了价值存储、支付之外的第三个用例 —— 质押 BTC 获得来自 PoS 链的激励。 Babylon Genesis 是首个比特币安全网络 (Bitcoin Secured Network, BSN)，作为一个独立的 L1 区块链运行，开发者可在其基础上开发 dApp，并将作为后续 BSN 网络的安全与流动性协调控制平台，统一管理整个生态的安全性和流动性配置。 3/ 旺盛需求 去年 8 月 Babylon 刚开放 BTC 质押时，就引发了市场高度关注。半年过去，现在已经有超过 56,000 枚 BTC (超过 55 亿美元) 参与质押。 当前比特币的流通量是 1983 万枚，但有约 300-400 万枚 BTC 已经永远丢失无法找回，算下来就是实际 0.35% 的 BTC 参与了 Babylon 的质押，比例还很小。 对于更多 BTC 持有者来说，在安全的前提下能产生一些 Yield，就是一个从 0 到 1 的突破。BTCFi 才刚刚开始。 同时，在 Babylon 质押协议的基础上，还诞生了 PumpBTC、AltLayer 等比特币再质押 (reStaking) 协议，进一步挖掘 BTC 相关的流动性质押代币 (LST, Liquidity Staking Token) 的安全性与流动性价值。 4/ 市场预期 硬核的技术、团队和市场需求，让 Babylon 先后拿到了 IDG, Polychain, Hack VC, Paradigm 等顶级 VC 的青睐，多轮累计融了超过 1 亿美元。 回到开头说的 BTC 生态两个派别，据我个人观察，以及参加 Consensus HK 的感受来看，当第一派熄火时，市场对于第二派的代表项目 Babylon TGE 有不一样的期待，可以说 $BABY 的价格表现关乎市场对整个 BTC 生态的信心。 目前 Babylon 还没有公布完整的 tokenomics，估值上我觉得有机会对标 Eigenlayer 的 3B FDV，也很有机会上 Binance, Coinbase 等头部大所。 $BABY 空投注册已经开始，有很多博主进行了详细介绍，我就不展开说了。注意空投的注册会在 3 月 15 日结束，记得及时参与，以便在 Babylon Genesis 启动时获得空投。也可以参考 @bbn_foundation 官方发布的文档和教程 Babylon 让人想到《圣经》中的巴比伦塔，人类企图建造一座通天塔，象征着人类的统一和共同目标。Babylon 协议基于 Bitcoin PoW 的安全性，已经通过比特币安全网络 (BSN) 为超过 50 条公链提供安全保障，这也如同在建造一座巴比伦塔，将更多 PoS 链团结在一起。
