Uniswap Labs 宣布推出新的 Unichain Layer 2 以改善碎片化的 DeFi 體驗

Uniswap 的原生治理代幣 UNI 的價格在 Uniswap Labs 正式宣布之前的 24 小時內上漲了 14% 以上

The price of UNI, the native governance token for Uniswap, jumped more than 14% in the 24 hours before Uniswap Labs officially announced on Thursday morning at 9 a.m. ET that it was launching a new L2 network, prompting speculation that at least some traders had information about the news ahead of time and had traded on it.

Uniswap 的原生治理代幣UNI 的價格在Uniswap Labs 於美國東部時間週四上午9 點正式宣布將推出新的L2 網路之前的24 小時內上漲了14% 以上，這引發了人們的猜測，至少有一些交易者已經提前了解有關新聞的資訊並進行交易。

Over the same time period, the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap each dropped between 2% to 3%.

同一時期，市值最大的加密貨幣均下跌 2% 至 3%。

One significant piece of evidence for the speculation was a tweet from Joseph Delong, CTO of lending protocol Astaria, at 12:58 a.m ET Thursday, strongly implying that the announcement from the world's largest decentralized exchange was coming. In his post, Delong shared a screenshot of a 2022 article written by venture capitalist Dan Elitzer arguing that a Unichain L2 was inevitable. “Someone should accuse Dan of being a time traveler,” Delong commented.

這項猜測的一個重要證據是藉貸協議 Astaria 首席技術長 Joseph Delong 在美國東部時間週四中午 12:58 發布的一條推文，強烈暗示全球最大的去中心化交易所即將宣布這一消息。 Delong 在貼文中分享了創投家 Dan Elitzer 在 2022 年撰寫的一篇文章的螢幕截圖，該文章認為 Unichain L2 是不可避免的。 「有人應該指責丹是一個時間旅行者，」德隆評論道。

The announcement about Unichain was also sent ahead of time on embargo to some news outlets, including Unchained. And crypto publication Bankless published a podcast about the news two hours before the official announcement.

關於 Unichain 的公告也提前向包括 Unchained 在內的一些新聞媒體發送了禁運消息。加密貨幣出版物 Bankless 在官方宣布前兩小時發布了有關該消息的播客。

Noted crypto security expert Ogle told Unchained that UNI's rise appeared to be a clear case of people with advance information trading on the news.

著名加密安全專家 Ogle 告訴 Unchained，UNI 的崛起似乎是掌握預先資訊的人根據新聞進行交易的明顯例子。

“Any time a big thing happens at any company, crypto or not, people need to know about it to prepare. Almost invariably at least some of those people leak the info. So almost certainly that happened here and will almost always happen,” Ogle said. “The difference is that in crypto the markets are relatively illiquid, and the mouths are relatively free-flowing. So you end up with 12% gains before announcements.”

「任何時候任何公司發生大事，無論是否加密，人們都需要了解並做好準備。幾乎總是有一些人洩漏了資訊。因此，幾乎可以肯定，這種情況發生在這裡，而且幾乎總是會發生，」奧格爾說。 「不同之處在於，加密貨幣市場的流動性相對較差，而人們的言論相對自由。因此，在公告發布之前，您最終獲得了 12% 的收益。

A spokesperson for Uniswap Labs denied the possibility that any trading in UNI prior to the announcement could have been carried out by employees of the firm. “In an abundance of caution, Uniswap Labs implemented a trading restriction on UNI for its employees prior to the Unichain announcement,” the spokesperson said.

Uniswap Labs 的發言人否認了在公告發布之前 UNI 的任何交易都是由該公司員工進行的可能性。發言人表示：“出於謹慎考慮，Uniswap Labs 在 Unichain 宣布之前對其員工實施了 UNI 交易限制。”

Data from Etherscan and Nansen also showed some significant trades involving UNI in the time leading up to the announcement.

來自 Etherscan 和 Nansen 的數據還顯示了在宣布這一消息之前涉及 UNI 的一些重要交易。

farmertaiki.eth (0x98e) which has an overall balance exceeding $1 million, swapped $350,000 of USDC for UNI roughly an hour prior to Delong’s post on X was published. And a different address (0x1666), which has the ENS findnemo.eth and consistently interacts with staking pools, swapped $50,000 USDC for 6,443 UNI tokens at 8 a.m. Thursday, according to Nansen.

farmertaiki.eth (0x98e) 的總餘額超過 100 萬美元，在 Delong 在 X 上發布帖子之前大約一個小時，將 350,000 美元的 USDC 兌換成 UNI。據 Nansen 稱，另一個地址 (0x1666) 擁有 ENS findnemo.eth 並始終與質押池交互，該地址於週四上午 8 點將 50,000 美元 USDC 兌換為 6,443 個 UNI 代幣。
