Recommended article: "Ethereum 8-year mining era ends: V God, China Mining, and Nvidia"
Recommender: Jack (0x137)
Reason for recommendation: With the conversion of Ethereum to PoS, China’s 10-year mining industry has also come to an end in a geographical sense. In this field, people advocate computing power and fight against entropy increase, creating a super unicorn with a single-quarter profit of 1.1 billion US dollars. It can also force graphics card giants like Nvidia to re-plan their pricing strategies. We document this history that all Web3 people should know, and then move on.
< /p>
Recommender: Peter Pan
Recommendation reason: Decentralized digital identity is another key component for the development of Metaverse after digital assets.
Among them, the Web3 domain name uses NFT as the carrier, which solves many problems of domain name transfer in the past, making Domain names become more liquid. At the same time, due to the characteristics of the open ecology, any platform and user can build their own secondary transaction application to provide personalized services, further promoting its liquidity.
Recommended article: "Is "A Sheep a Sheep" suitable for gamefi"
Recommender:Laughing
Reason for recommendation: "Sheep and a Sheep" became popular and became another phenomenal WeChat mini-game after Tiaoyitiao and Synthetic Big Watermelon. Every good game (sheep is not necessarily good, but it must be successful) is worth thinking about whether it is suitable for GameFi. The author of this recommended article Che Lizi discussed whether the game "Sheep a Sheep" is suitable for chain reform, possible problems, and the logic of demand for small game platforms to make chain games.
"Sheep a Sheep" is a "super-casual game" with simple gameplay, no internal purchases, and relying on IAA (advertising monetization) Games”, and for GameFi, IAA cannot work, and IAP (recharge in-app purchase) is not suitable for chain games that generally use mining, withdrawing and selling models.
In my opinion, it still has a certain reference value, some simple thinking: ranking by province customs clearance, "for the province "Play" vs Ranking in the NFT community, playing for the community.
The personal ranking and provincial ranking in "Sheep a Sheep" will inspire personal victory or defeat In Web3, each PFP NFT community is also like a province, and community members have a sense of belonging to their "province". The NFT project party may be able to spend money to buy users as an advertiser of IAA. For IAP, to solve the problem of how to get players to pay for the game (such as buying game skins, buying game experience, etc.), one idea is that these can be provided by NFT projects Party pays, purchases custom card images and opens them to holders, and purchases services such as shuffling cards and removing card slots. These game skins and game services can be provided by staking NFTs, that is, staking NFTs in exchange for these good game experiences (similar to y00ts already Use pledge to reward users in exchange for better-looking traits on NFT).
WeChat vs Twitter
< /p>
"Sheep a sheep" makes good use of WeChat to allow players to spread themselves, which may also apply to Web3 users using Twitter Spontaneous dissemination, such as ReadON used the keywords of each person's personal account to generate a Web3 map when it was announced, which has a very good dissemination effect. After the sheep reform, like the PFP NFT community mentioned above, they can also have the opportunity to share on Twitter in their respective communities.
Sunk cost is time vs losing money
The second level of "The Sheep Caught a Sheep" is extremely difficult to pass. Time to play games. For GameFi, the cost of participation and funds, that is, if it is difficult to pass the customs after the sheep reform, it will cause the player's financial loss, so it is difficult for a GameFi that has a high probability of losing money to replicate the phenomenon of the original version. In addition, profitable games will attract cheaters to participate in profit-seeking (players will not make money if they play sheep, but now there are cheaters), and the game with a simple model will be chained, and the anti-cheating mechanism is also a game There are always problems in development.
Recommended articles: "Believe in Allah, you have to tie the camel": the first principle of NFT lending"
Recommender: Zhang Wen
Recommendation reason: BendDAO had a crisis not long ago, bear market + panic run. The current NFT lending still uses DeFi, but as a Non-Fungible Token, should NFT still use DeFi logic? Can we find a new NFT lending model?
Recommended article:《< a href="https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/N1jnLNY-9jDLoAz_sxX7kA">The ten-year war between Alipay and Zhang San"
Recommended by:crescent
Reason for recommendation: The article takes "Zhang San" (generally referring to the attacker) as the entry point to explain the fast payment launched by Alipay, the "Door God" risk control engine and The conflict of user experience gave Zhang San and others an opportunity to attack.
The wind control engine must not only ensure the user experience but also avoid taking advantage of "Zhang San" Entering from the void, the two sides come and go, and the confrontation gradually escalates. In Alipay, the original risk control engine "CTU" has been upgraded to a big data risk control engine "UCT" by adding a number of rules. However, with the rapid increase in user usage on Double Eleven, it is necessary to increase a large number of servers to prevent user funds from being stolen. . This once-a-year difficult defense on the edge of the cliff has made Alipay determined to develop a new set of risk control architecture to solve the problem completely. This is the famous risk control architecture "AlphaRisk" with layering as the core.
The road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, AlphaRisk has completely blocked the fraudulent payment This makes "Zhang San" have to figure out how to make people "voluntarily" send money, and fraud has become another new path. Alipay's internal operations were once again tense to find a way to break through. "Graph Computing" showed the clues of the scammers. In the end, the Alipay team went from code interception to psychological defense, from text reminders to wake-up hotlines. It was only through battles again and again that the system was gradually upgraded to a fully defensive IMAGE technology system.
