Recently, there has been a lot of discussion around the @dappOS_com intent execution network, and many voices say that after Paradigm threw out the intent-centric, only the AI Agent intelligent matching engine was on fire for a while, and the overall intent track progress was not ideal.

So, what is the crux of the current challenges facing the intention race track? How should the decentralized Solver execution network be implemented? Next, the system will discuss its views:

1. For a long time, Paradigm has been proposing the concept of intent-centric. The intent track has indeed been lively for a while, with a number of projects such as Anoma, Essential, dappOS, Brink, etc. emerging. The intent track, which simplifies the participation threshold for users in Decentralized Finance, can effectively integrate with AI, and is in line with the characteristics of Mass Adoption, is considered a major narrative in the expectation of a Bull Market.

However, the 'abstraction' nature of the intention concept makes it difficult to focus on one direction in the short term and produce results. In addition to AI Agent as an optional implementation path for intention execution network, execution methods such as account abstraction, chain abstraction, transaction bot, and even CEX can be included in the scope of the intention track.

Although the intention of AI is subversive, it is still too early and develops slowly, and other abstract intentions operate independently without forming a collective force. This is the ultimate reason why Paradigm's intent-centric concept has fizzled out after a while.

2）In my opinion, the main core of the slow development of the intent race track is mainly facing two key bottlenecks:

1. The challenge of intent abstraction is significant: seemingly simple, the intent can simplify the user's on-chain operations, but the on-chain environment is becoming increasingly complex. For example, new issues such as LRT redemptions, MEME's front-running MEV, etc., continuously introduce new complexities, resulting in the development speed of the infrastructure for simplifying standard operations such as cross-chain bridges, chain abstraction, account abstraction, etc., being far lower than the complexity of on-chain operations.

The single-chain environment that the intention intends to solve includes: Gas replacement, social recovery, MEV resistance, one-click Approve-Cancel, minimal Slippage, automated execution, etc. Involving multi-chain environments, there will also be compatibility between Smart Contracts across chains, compatibility in encoding and decoding, Liquidity Interoperability, standard uniformity, and other complex issues related to security Consensus.

In addition, many users' intentions cannot be solely relied on pure on-chain solutions. Currently, only asset management institutions with large funds and diversified trading strategies have relatively ideal solutions in terms of cost and speed. For example, when MEME coin is listed on a CEX, the cheapest liquidity is usually provided by market makers or VIP Large Investors of the exchange, while redeeming income assets such as LRT through DEX or official channels is far less ideal than institutions issuing LRT or running Nodes.

In short, attempting to solve the challenge of intention experience by integrating and optimizing on the original complex chain infrastructure is extremely challenging.

2. Intent has a wide range: I have also written an analysis before, common intents include centralized intent (CEX), structured intent (Pre-Confirmation), decentralized intent (Decentralization), intelligent intent (AI Agent).

In my opinion, the centralization intention and structured intention including account abstraction, chain abstraction, etc. are not the focus of the intention track. They are all basic conditions that the track already has and need to be further optimized to be included. The intelligent intention needs to wait for the AI Agent market to mature before it can be included in the scope. At present, the development of intent track we are discussing is more focused on the DecentralizationSolver market.

3. The development and implementation of the intention track essentially depend on how the DecentralizationSolver executes the network construction. How to do it? One feasible solution is:

Build a unified middleware Network Layer, and ensure a brand new user experience, convenient and efficient compatibility and interoperability, as well as a secure Consensus Mechanism of Decentralization, unified Liquidity that aligns with the application market, and so on.

Next, focusing on @dappOS_com as an example, let's break down the challenges faced in building a DecentralizationSolver market, as well as the innovative products and mechanisms explored by dappOS.

1. Build DecentralizationSolver execution network

There is a natural contradiction between the 'fuzziness' of user intent and the programmability of Solver solvers. For example, a user with assets only on Chain A inputs a requirement: I want to complete interaction and scratching on Chains B and C. This requirement is sent to the Solver marketplace, where Providers would normally break down the user's requirement first:

1. 0 wear Cross-Chain Interaction; 2) Swap selects ultra-low transaction Slippage; 3) Avoid high-stage chain transaction Gas; Finally, after complex path planning, Bidding, platform matching by Solver, the task is completed with very low gas wear on a network with unified Liquidity and compatibility with B and C chains.

In this process, what if the user raises a demand but no Solver accepts it? What if the Solver runs away and rugs? What if the price of the Solver is too high? How to deal with multiple Solver suppliers competing for this task? How to incentivize success and punish failure? A free and open Solver market must solve these problems.

The idea of dappOS is to abandon the clear and concise execution steps that Solver disassembles, and only follow the execution results that users want (such as the interaction and wool pulling completed by chains B and C), and let Solver provide a total quotation and tell users what authorizations are needed (such as authorizing Solver to use 10 USDT on chain A and the dApp contract for final interaction and wool pulling). The entire execution process is entrusted to Solver to complete, and users do not need to follow the execution details.

The execution logic of choosing result-oriented is as follows: The Solver can synthesize the 'on-chain+off-chain' path to achieve the optimal cost and efficiency.

Many times, on-chain transaction by transaction will inevitably incur cost loss, if interlacing with off-chain solutions, a comprehensive consideration of cost and efficiency can be achieved, giving users an optimal solution:

For example, if Solver is the VIPLarge Investors or market maker of the exchange, the cost advantage obtained by using identity resources is much greater than directly calling the AMM contract. Users can choose to have a certain Solver execute when signing, and Solver can also obtain the user's fund authorization and flexibly decide whether to execute the transaction on-chain or off-chain (and can also summarize user demands and execute them in parallel), and ultimately only provide users with the cheapest and fastest execution results based on the results.

For example, in scenarios involving funds Cross-Chain Interaction, you can choose to use on-chain Cross-Chain Interaction bridges or directly use CEX for deposits and withdrawals. The Solver can decide which approach to take; Another example is in the redemption scenario of LRT, the normal logic is to aggregate user redemption requests, execute them centrally, and transactions may need to queue and may also encounter Gas congestion. Advanced logic can first on-chain low-interest loans for advance payment, and then flexibly redeem.

Anyway, with a focus on 'results', the goal is to achieve full competition between Solvers, mobilizing various resources and leveraging advantages to optimize user costs and speeds. The question is, how can security be ensured if there is 'opacity' in the execution process? Here's how:

2. Minimization of stake operation mechanism for OMS

The idea of OMS (Optimistic Minimum Stake) is to pre-determine the amount of compensation for users in case of failure for each task, and then there is no need to care about how the Solver completes the task specifically. If unsuccessful, only the compensation assets of Solverstake need to be liquidated.

At the same time, for Solver, the stake amount can be minimized by only exceeding the compensation amount involved in the ongoing task. This also reduces the pressure on Solver's funds. Solver only needs to ensure the completion of the current task, and their funds can be used for various other businesses at the same time, ensuring the maximum efficiency of fund utilization.

3. Unified Intent Asset for Liquidity

Originally, many assets were idle in different on-chain, not only the Liquidity could not be aggregated, but also unable to carry out subsequent financial Derivatives innovation such as Yield. dappOS has defined a kind of intentAsset, which is an asset that can be used through the dappOS intent execution network while possessing Yield functionality.

Simply put, Intent Asset serves as a unified liquidity layer that connects various heterogeneous chains. The USDT on Chain A and the USDC on Chain B can both circulate in the form of intentUSD on dappOSon-chain. Users can mint intentUSD as if they were aggregating other on-chain assets into a "Yu'E Bao" pool, and can use intentUSD as either USDT on Chain A or USDC on Chain B.

This unified Liquidity solution not only solves the problem of asset fragmentation caused by Cross-Chain Interaction environment differences, but also addresses a series of issues such as asset wear and tear and idle asset income in Cross-Chain Interaction, killing two birds with one stone. In addition, IntentAsset itself adopts a Decentralization, non-custodial operating mechanism setting.

Why can intent assets have both convenience and Yield properties? On the one hand, the Solver market can solve most of the user's intent needs, and holding regular USDT is not significantly different. On the other hand, after calling the comprehensive permissions and abilities of Solver, a "profit" space of intersecting pure on-chain operations will be generated, and the saved capital consumption will also become Yield.

Above.

Before, I have seen many construction plans for DecentralizationSolver platforms that overlook the problem of fuzzy matching errors. They all aim for 100% accuracy, without realizing that the intention of transaction execution itself is fundamentally impossible to be 100% correct. On the contrary, frameworks that have fault tolerance and corresponding governance mechanisms are more conducive to the normal operation of the Solver market.

In short, despite the difficulties, it is undeniable that the intent track is the necessary path for the Crypto market to enter Mass Adoption. Because it solves the composability issue of Crypto's B-side, in the current market where Lego abstraction is overly stacked, this paradigm of hiding transaction execution and only following the results can onboard a larger scale of users.

According to Foresight News, the Eigen Foundation has announced the opening of the second season of Stakedrop Airdrop application, and the application portal will remain open until March 16, 2025. In addition, the official will also release an incentive plan that includes weekly EIGEN issuance and rewards for stakers and operators. Previously, Eigen Foundation announced that the second season of Stakedrop will reward key contributors and participants in the ecosystem, including stakers and operators, ecosystem partners, and the community. The total amount of EIGEN allocated to stakers and operators in the second season is about 70 million EIGEN; the total amount allocated to ecosystem partners is up to 10 million EIGEN; and the total amount allocated to the community is about 6 million EIGEN.

In today's encryption industry, "questioning Ponzi" is often seen as naive, while "understanding Ponzi and becoming Ponzi" is gradually becoming the mainstream idea. In such an atmosphere, Mr. Loki's new work is like a beam of light shining into the Plato's cave, reminding us that this industry needs to turn back, face the real world, and solve real problems.

Although the "Ponzi scheme" (i.e. Ponzi-style business model) is prevalent in the encryption circle, I have never believed that Ponzi would be the ultimate destination of the encryption industry. No matter how sophisticated the Ponzi scheme is, it is essentially just a physical dissipative system, which must constantly input energy or resources from the outside to maintain its structure and function.

Viewing Ponzi from the perspective of physical dissipative systems

The Ponzi scheme can be understood through the theory of 'dissipative system' in physics:

• "Low entropy" energy: New investors' capital injection.
• Systematic "Ordered Structure": Investor Pyramid Layered Design.
• "High-entropy" waste: the loss of funds and the erosion of market trust.
• Energy Quality drop: Over time, maintaining the same return rate requires more new funds.
• Limited external resources: The potential investor base is ultimately limited.
• entropy accumulation: As trust declines, the overall entropy value of the market rises.
• Structure maintenance cost rise: The cost of attracting new investors is increasing.

Any dissipative system will eventually collapse because it cannot obtain enough low-entropy energy, and Ponzi schemes are no exception. This is not a random failure, but the inevitable result of the law of increasing entropy.

The current situation and challenges of the encryption industry

The development of the encryption industry so far is inseparable from the preaching of OGs in the early days of BTC, as well as the promotion of top venture capital institutions such as A16Z and Pantera. By constantly creating new narratives and constructing new primitives, they create new investment opportunities on the one hand, attract new money on the board, and then exit the Bull Market cycle. From the perspective of "disk science", this is a complex Ponzi model that relies on the constant entry of new investors.

However, this model may now be approaching its limit as a dissipative system. A clear example is that the penetration rate of Crypto Assets in the US market has exceeded 20%. When new sources of funds dry up, Ponzi schemes will inevitably collapse.

The key to breaking through the dilemma: innovation and value creation

To break this situation, the industry needs to return to its essence - to build projects that have continuous innovation, efficiency improvement, and create actual value. Innovation, efficiency improvement, and value creation can help the system maintain a state of 'far from equilibrium', in which the system has the opportunity to generate new, organic structures and functions, thereby enhancing its sustainability.

The encryption industry is in urgent need of a "ChatGPT" moment - a breakthrough that can truly drive technological and application transformation. Recently emerging tracks such as PayFi, Consumer Chain, AI Agent with Crypto Wallet, Chain Abstraction, etc., are new solutions born under this environmental pressure.

Reflection and Return: Evaluating the True Value of a Project

When evaluating the value of these projects, we need to reflect on the current popular "technology determinism", "background determinism" and blind worship of infrastructure (Infra). More importantly, we need to focus on the product itself and its potential for rise. Real value creation does not rely on narrative and capital promotion, but comes from the actual application of the product and its rise among users.

At the recent ETH Fork Developers' Meeting, a proposal was discussed to split the Pectra hard fork of ETH into two parts. This proposal had previously been rejected due to concerns about the latency upgrade of Verkle trees. However, at this meeting, developers once again put forward this idea because they wanted to include more improvement proposals (EIPs) in the Pectra fork. The proposal is to split the hard fork into two parts: the first part will include all EIPs currently on Pectra Devnet 3, and the second part of the fork will include EOF (EVM Object Format) and PeerDAS, etc. To better understand PeerDAS, let's start with the basic concept of data availability.

DA: Ensure Node obtains on-chain data

Data Availability (DA) refers to ensuring that the Block proposed by the Block proposer, as well as all transaction data contained in the Block, can be effectively accessed and obtained by other network participants. Data Availability is a key factor in the security of the Blockchain because if the data is not available, even if the Block is legitimate, other Nodes cannot verify its content, which may lead to Consensus issues and network attacks. For example, an attacker may only publish partial Block data, causing other Nodes to be unable to verify it.

When a new Block is broadcasted, all participating Nodes will download and verify the data of the Block. This mode is feasible when the network scale is small, but as the Block chain continues to rise, the amount of data will become very large, and the storage of each Node will continue to increase, requiring higher hardware requirements. In order to allow lightweight Nodes (such as mobile devices like phones or computers) to participate in Block verification, the Block chain introduces Sharding technology.

Sharding technology divides the entire Blockchain network into multiple small 'shards.' Each Sharding only handles its own data, without the need to process the entire Blockchain data. Therefore, a single Node only needs to process its own Sharding data. However, each Sharding only handles a portion of the data, which means that Nodes in other Shards cannot directly access the complete data. How can the availability of data in Sharding be ensured, and how can other Nodes verify the validity of this data? For example, if a Node in a certain Sharding publishes a newly generated Block, it may only publish a part of the data. If other Nodes cannot obtain all the data of the Block, they cannot verify whether this Block is truly legitimate.

DAS: Verify the availability of overall data through partial data verification

To address the data availability issue in Sharding, the Data Availability Sampling (DAS) technique has been proposed. Its core idea is to verify the data availability of Blocks through sampling, without requiring every Node to store or download complete Block data.

Data availability sampling allows nodes to verify data availability by randomly obtaining only a portion of the data in a block. If a node can successfully obtain and verify these random data segments, it can infer that the data in the entire block is available.

To support this sampling verification, RS encoding is often used for Block data. This encoding allows the complete data to be recovered even if some data is lost. Therefore, even if the Node only downloads part of the Block data, it can infer and confirm the validity of the entire Block data. DAS reduces the amount of data that each Node needs to process through sampling verification, and light Nodes can also participate in Block verification.

The DA layer, such as Celestia's, is implemented through these technologies. Mainly involving RS encoding + validity proof + DAS.

• RS Encoding (Reed-Solomon Encoding): This encoding method allows Nodes that only receive a fraction of the data fragments to reconstruct the entire data block. It is similar to error correction codes and has a certain level of fault tolerance. Even if a portion of the data is lost, the remaining parts are sufficient to reconstruct the complete data.
• Validity Proof (validity proof): Use Zero-Knowledge Proof to ensure that there are no errors in the encoding and transmission of data. If the verification is successful, the entire data can be decoded without any errors.
• DAS (Data Availability Sampling): Verify the availability of a random sample of RS encoding fragments in the Block through a light node, thereby inferring the availability of the entire data block.

PeerDAS: Collaboration of Nodes for Verification Data

PeerDAS is a specific implementation of DAS, which uses peer-to-peer network for data availability sampling. The peer-to-peer network is composed of multiple Nodes that communicate directly with each other. Under DAS, each Node independently performs data sampling verification, while PeerDAS optimizes this process by allowing Nodes to collaborate and share the verification of data in Blocks, further improving verification efficiency. Nodes are not isolated from each other and can share the tasks and results of data verification, relying on data that has already been verified by other Nodes. This means that Nodes do not have to undertake all verification work individually, but can share the verification tasks through collaboration, further reducing the burden on Nodes. Moreover, collaborative verification increases the difficulty of data tampering, as attackers need to simultaneously influence multiple verification Nodes to successfully tamper with the data.

Currently, according to the latest meeting of the Ethereum (ETH) community about PeerDAS, the Lighthouse team of the Ethereum client has merged the DAS branch into the main branch and is testing to ensure compatibility with PeerDAS. Branches are typically used to develop and test independent code versions for new features or improvements. Merging into the main branch means that the feature or improvement has been developed and is confident to be stable and can be merged into the core code.
