采访:Computecoin筹集620万美元用于支持Web3基础设施

ComputeCoin 宣布该公司已获得 620 万美元的战略资金,由 Aves Lair 领导。

该网络为 Web3 提供分散的基础设施。这很有趣,因为尽管去中心化是 Web3 的核心方面之一,但现实情况是许多 Web3 应用程序仍然部署在 Web 2.0 基础架构上。这会造成失败的中心点,并与 Web3 的口头禅之一相反。AWS 就是驱动大量 Web3 网络的此类公司的一个例子。

ComputeCoin 在 2018 年才走到一起,目标是“让全球的分布式计算和存储能力广泛供所有 Web3 构建者轻松使用”,我们与联合创始人兼首席执行官 Max Li 博士坐下来获得一些我们的问题的答案。

CoinText.com (CT):人们通常将去中心化作为元界和加密货币的主要优势。但是鉴于如此多的 Web3 基础设施是通过集中式提供商(例如 AWS)构建的,Web3 真的比人们想象的要集中得多吗?

Max Li 博士 (ML):当然!许多 DAO 在 Discord 上管理他们的社区,而 OpenSea 在 GCP(一个乐于遵守 DMCA 删除的集中式平台)上托管 NFT 照片。我们的网站是建立在 Webflow 上的,猜猜 Webflow 托管在哪里?AWS!

CT:这个生态系统的很大一部分依赖于中心化媒介会出现什么问题?

ML:基本上,主要问题是传统云提供商面临重大限制:

计算能力(覆盖范围和延迟):我们已经了解到 VR、AR 和 XR 是新 Web3 标准的一部分。大多数人不明白,这些体验需要人类历史上前所未有的持续计算需求。传统供应商没有提供足够的电力;他们根本无法满足这些要求。延迟和覆盖问题将继续破坏对下一代互联网至关重要的同时性和身临其境的体验。例如,网络延迟会导致 VR 游戏玩家出现晕动病,这显然与 VR 的主要目标背道而驰:唤起一种完全沉浸式和逼真的感觉。

价格:对于用户来说,获得高质量、低延迟、丰富的计算和存储能力仍然过于昂贵。这极大地影响了 web3 应用程序的可扩展性。价格将不得不降下来,以最大限度地提高 Web3 和 metaverse 应用程序在市场上的前景。

CT:我们过去已经看到 BSC 的成功,有时人们乐于牺牲去中心化来换取易用性、效率和低费用。您认为这可能是未来的趋势吗?

ML:用户总是会优先考虑易用性。然而,加密空间总是在创新更多的方法,以最分散的方式让事情变得更容易、更有效地使用。

例如,关于 ETH 上的 L2 将如何去中心化存在争议,但 ZKP 和其他隐私标准的创新将给这些链带来更多关注。这就是为什么在第 2 层锁定的 TVL 比 BSC 多的原因。

此外,具有大型生态系统的项目,如 Solana、Avalanche 等,将通过跨链桥连接(即互操作性),使用户、矿工和/或资产可以在这些项目之间自由移动,以促进去中心化而不影响便于使用。

CT:Computecoin 为普通 Web3 用户提供的主要好处是什么?

ML:Computecoin 旨在提供 AWS 提供的所有服务,但以分散的方式提供低成本、低延迟和普遍优越的性能。

正如 Expedia 提供端到端的预订解决方案,可消除步骤、简化预订流程并确保客户顺利旅行一样,Computecoin 提供的端到端解决方案可让 Web3 开发人员在涉及到使用去中心化的云,例如 Filecoin 和 Dfinity。因此,Computecoin 将简化开发和部署过程,并确保无缝过渡到 Web3。

CT:您对 Computecoin 的长期增长有何预测?这里的潜在市场规模有多大?

ML:我们的愿景是为 Web3 做集中式云提供商为 Web2 所做的事情。Computecoin 旨在提供 AWS 提供的所有服务,但以分散的方式针对 SME(中小型企业)。

根据Grand View Research的一份报告,到 2021 年,全球云计算市场估计价值 3689.7 亿美元,预计 2022 年至 2030 年的复合年增长率 (CAGR) 为 15.7% 。根据2022 年发布的 Statista报告,到 2020 年底,35% 的中小企业在公共云服务上的花费在 60 万至 120 万美元之间。

我们估计 Computecoin 在云计算中有 50 亿美元的市场。

CT:过去有很多公司试图填补这一空白?是什么让 Computecoin 与众不同?

ML:希望在该领域的其他基础设施(如 Filecoin 和 Dfinity)上部署和运行 Web3 dApp 的 Web3 开发人员面临着陡峭的学习曲线。这导致了当今行业的一个关键痛点:Web3 应用程序仍在 Web2 基础架构上部署和运行。

相反,Computecoin (CCN) 是一个去中心化的云基础设施,它通过兼容 Web2 的 API 和开发人员工具为通用 Web3 和 metaverse 服务提供支持。在充分利用 CCN 的底层去中心化云之前,开发人员无需克服任何学习曲线。因此,Computecoin 将使开发人员能够无缝过渡到 Web3/metaverse。

CT:在所有宏观逆风和下行趋势的加密货币市场中,您是否认为零售资本将继续撤出风险和高波动性资产,这对您来说是一个问题吗?

ML:也许在短期内,但随着时间的推移,我认为这是一个机会。“加密热”将会降温,但我认为我们都同意区块链、人工智能、边缘计算、物联网、VR/AR 等技术将继续存在。所以这个熊市可能意味着资本和代币持有者会变得更加谨慎和聪明,这对我们来说是个好消息。

为什么?因为我们在这里致力于 Web 3.0 和元界的计算基础设施。我们来这里不是为了利用一种趋势。使 Computecoin 独一无二的创新是大学实验室数十名研究人员辛勤工作的产物。我们认为投资者和市场变得更加挑剔,这是我们更加努力工作的优势和动力。更挑剔的投资者和更清醒的市场意味着我们的竞争更少。同时,我们将有更多的时间来培育和持续改进我们的项目,而不必太担心“跟不上”行业。

ComputeCoin have annouced that the company has secured $6.2 million in strategic funds, led by Aves Lair.

采访:Computecoin筹集620万美元用于支持Web3基础设施

The network provides decentralised infrastructure for Web3. This is interesting because despite decentralisation being one of the core aspects of Web3, the reality is that a lot of Web3 applications are still deployed on Web 2.0 infrastructure. This creates central points of failure, as well as being converse to one of the mantras of Web3. AWS is an example of one such company that drives a huge amount of the Web3 network.

With ComputeCoin, who only came together in 2018, aiming to “make global, distributed computing and storage power widely available for all Web3 builders to easily use”, we sat down with Dr Max Li, the Co-Founder and CEO, to get some answers to questions we had.

CoinText.com (CT): People often cite decentralization as a major advantage of the metaverse and cryptocurrency in general. But given that so much Web3 infrastructure is built via centralized providers (e.g. AWS), is Web3 actually far more centralized than people realize?

Dr Max Li (ML): Definitely! Many DAOs manage their communities on Discord, whereas OpenSea hosts NFT photos on GCP (a centralized platform that is happy to comply with DMCA takedowns). Our website is built on Webflow, and guess where Webflow is hosted? AWS!

CT: What problems can arise from a large part of this ecosystem depending on centralized mediums?

ML: Basically the main issue is that legacy cloud providers face significant limitations:

Compute capabilities (coverage and latency): We have been reading that VR, AR and XR are part of the new Web3 standards. Most people don’t understand that these experiences require ongoing computational requirements of a magnitude unprecedented in human history. Legacy providers don’t offer enough power; they’re simply incapable of meeting these demands. Latency and coverage problems will continue to ruin the experience of simultaneity and immersiveness that is fundamental to the next generation of the internet. For instance, network latency can cause VR gamers to experience motion sickness, which obviously runs counter to VR’s main goal: to evoke a sense of total immersion and verisimilitude.

Price: For users, access to high-quality, low-latency, rich computing and storage power is still too expensive. This dramatically affects the scalability of web3 applications. Prices will have to come down to maximize Web3 and metaverse applications’ prospects in the marketplace.

CT: We have seen with the success of BSC in the past that sometimes people are happy to sacrifice decentralization for ease of use, efficiency and low fees. Do you think this could be a trend going forward?

ML: Users will always consider ease of use a priority. However, the crypto space is always innovating more ways to make things easier and more efficient to use in the most decentralized manner.

For example, there is a debate about how decentralized L2s on ETH will be, but the innovation of ZKPs and other privacy standards will bring more attention to these chains. That’s why there is more TVL locked on Layer 2s than BSC.

Additionally, projects with large ecosystems, such as Solana, Avalanche, etc, will be connected by cross-chain bridges (i.e., interoperability), which enables users, miners and/or assets to move freely between these projects to facilitate decentralization without compromising on ease of use.

CT: What are the main benefits that Computecoin offers to the average Web3 user?

ML: Computecoin aims to provide all services that AWS offers but in a decentralized manner with low-cost, low latency and generally superior performance.

ust as Expedia provides an end-to-end booking solution that eliminates steps, simplifying the booking process and ensuring a smooth trip for customers, Computecoin provides an end-to-end solution that flattens the learning curve faced by Web3 developers when it comes to using decentralized clouds, such as Filecoin and Dfinity. Thus, Computecoin will simplify the development and deployment process and ensure a seamless transition to Web3.

CT: What are your predictions for Computecoin’s growth in the long-term? What is the potential size of the market here?

ML: Our vision is to do for Web3 what centralized cloud providers did for Web2. Computecoin aims to provide all services that AWS offers but in a decentralized manner, targeting SMEs (small and medium-sized businesses).

The worldwide cloud computing market was estimated to be worth USD 368.97 billion in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7 percent predicted from 2022 to 2030, according to a report from Grand View Research. By the end of 2020, 35% of SMEs have spent between $600,000 and $1,200,000 on public cloud services, according to a Statista report published in 2022.

We estimate that there’s a five-billion-dollar market for Computecoin in cloud computing.

CT: Many companies have tried to fill this void in the past? What sets Computecoin apart?

ML: Web3 developers who want to deploy and run their Web3 dApps on other infrastructures in this space, like Filecoin and Dfinity, face a steep learning curve. This results in a key pain point for the industry today: Web3 applications are still deployed and running on Web2 infrastructure.

Conversely, Computecoin (CCN) is a decentralized cloud infrastructure that powers all-purpose Web3 and metaverse services with Web2-compatible APIs and developer tools. There is no learning curve developers need to overcome before they can make the most of CCN’s underlying decentralized clouds. Thus, Computecoin will enable developers’ seamless transition to Web3/metaverse.

CT: Amid all the macro headwinds and the downtrending crypto market, do you think retail capital will continue to move out of risk-on and high volatility assets and is this a concern for you?

ML: Maybe in the short term, but I see this as an opportunity over time. “Crypto fever” will cool down, but I think we can all agree that the technologies – blockchain, AI, edge computing, IoT, VR/AR, etc.– are here to stay. So what this bear market likely means is that the capital and the token holders will become more cautious and smarter, which is good news for us.

Why? Because we are here working on the computing infrastructure of Web 3.0 and the metaverse. We are not here to cash in on a trend. The innovations that make Computecoin unique are the product of the hard work of tens of researchers at university labs. We see investors and the market becoming more selective as an advantage and motivation for us to work harder. Pickier investors and a more sober market would mean we had less competition. In the meantime, we would have more time to cultivate and continue to improve our project without worrying too much about “keeping up” with the industry.
