IPFS科技企业深圳西部世界科技有限公司(以下简称为“西部世界”)宣布完成2亿级估值的天使轮融资,由啟赋国隆基金投资,本轮融资主要用于扩大规模与扩展品牌影响力。
The World Science and Technology Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “West World”) of Shenzhen, an IPFS technology firm, announced an Angel Wheel to complete a 200 million-grade valuation, to be invested by the Genesis Foundation, which will be used mainly to scale up and expand brand influence.
啟赋国隆的背景实力强劲,这里需要先了解一下国隆资本,国隆资本是啟赋资本与深圳市引导基金、福田引导基金联合发起的为吸引优秀企业落地深圳而专门设立的专职管理公司,也兼具为深圳市乃至福田区吸引优秀企业落户的职责,其投资方向跟投资策略的主导方是啟赋资本,这次引入深圳的就是西部世界。
It is important to learn about the capital of the Kingdom, which is a specialized management company set up in conjunction with the Shenzhen Investment Fund and the Fukuda Guidance Fund to attract good firms to Shenzhen. It is also responsible for attracting good firms to Shenzhen City and even to Fukuda. Its investment direction and strategy are guided by capital concessions, which have been introduced in the western world.
其管理基金“啟赋国隆”背后的资金方为深圳市财政局、福田区财政局、银行机构、立业集团、上市公司和啟赋资本创始人傅哲宽先生等。
The funds behind its management fund, the founding fund, are the Shenzhen City Fiscal Authority, the Fukuda District Fiscal Authority, banking institutions, establishment groups, listed companies and the founder of capital concessions, Mr. Fo Chul-Kon, among others.
西部世界目前主要专注于IPFS领域的硬件研发、集群云存储设备的销售、IDC机房托管、云存储运维等一站式的软硬件服务。
The Western world is currently focusing mainly on hardware development in the area of IPFS, sale of cluster cloud storage equipment, hosting of IDC machine rooms, and one-stop hardware and software services such as cloud storage dimensions.
公司核心团队毕业于电子科技大学、北京理工大学、斯坦福大学等知名学府,多位团队成员具有腾讯、阿里、迅雷等互联网高新科技企业从业经历。创始团队成员都是早期区块链上游产业比特币矿业的矿工,在区块链行业从业时间均超过6年,2020年在深圳设立公司正式进入IPFS领域,背后是由啟赋国隆引入到深圳来落户的。
The company’s core team has graduated from such prestigious institutions as the University of Electronic Technology, Beijing Polytechnic University, Stanford University, and many of its members have had experience in high-tech companies such as Tetsu, Ali, and Qingray on the Internet. Founding team members were miners in the Bitcoin mining industry in the early upper sector of the chain, which lasted more than six years.
IPFS矿商西部世界主营
西部世界目前主要专注于IPFS领域的硬件研发、集群云存储设备的销售、IDC机房托管、云存储运维等一站式的软硬件服务。现在目前主营业务三块:
The Western world is currently focusing mainly on hardware development in the area of IPFS, sale of cluster cloud storage equipment, IDC machine room hosting, cloud storage and other one-stop hardware services.
第一块是针对大投资客户建单独的集群矿机,提供软硬件一体的整套解决方案,收取后续的技术服务费,做一站式服务;
The first is the establishment of a single cluster miner for large investment clients, the provision of a software and hardware-based package of solutions, the charging of follow-up technical services and one-stop service;
第二块是做算力分时租赁,把公司已经做好的集群矿机产出的一部分收益权拆分出来租赁给客户,降低用户布局的门槛,客户通过采购收益权来赚取挖矿的收益;
The second is a factor lease, which divides a portion of the profits from the output of the company's well-established cluster miner to the client, lowers the threshold for the user layout and earns the proceeds from mining by purchasing the proceeds;
第三块是有限合伙的模式,以西部世界来做GP,领投一个企业,剩下的客户把他的资金融到有限合伙企业里面,就相当于第一种业务模式一样,跟公司合作、建集群矿机,只不过这个集群矿机就不是某一个大客户的产权,而是有限合伙企业的产权。这样对投资者来说,他既不需要投入单个基金那么多的投资,同时他也可以享受比传统的算力出租更多的服务和收益。
The third is the limited partnership model, which uses the Western world as a GP for a single enterprise, and the rest of the client, which blends his funds into a limited partnership, is like the first business model, working with a company to build a cluster mine, which is not the property rights of a large client, but the property rights of a limited partnership. Thus, for an investor, he does not have to invest so much in a single fund, while at the same time he can enjoy more services and benefits than conventional arithmetic rents.
西部世界的盈利模式主要是挖矿的技术服务费,做大集群矿机有两块的盈利:第一个就是有供应链的优势,在硬件上会有微薄的一些利润,但是前期为了快速扩大算力管理规模,会出让所有利润甚至补贴。第二块在运维分时租赁的产品会有一部分比例是公司的利润。
In the Western world, the profit model is mainly the cost of mining technical services, and there are two profits to be made in large clustering machines: the first is the advantage of a supply chain, with a small profit on hardware, but in the early period, in order to rapidly expand the size of arithmetic management, there will be all profits and even subsidies. The second is a share of the profits of the company that would be leased at the time of transport.
IPFS西部世界,获2亿级估值天使轮融资
历经3年多的深入研究,16个月的严谨尽调,2021年3月份,啟赋国隆资本完成了对西部世界一笔估值2亿级的天使轮投资。
After more than three years of in-depth research, 16 months of rigour, and in March 2021 the capital of the founding nation completed an angel round investment in the western world valued at 200 million.
西部世界是一家从事区块链去中心化云存储服务的科技企业,其核心技术正是源自于斯坦福大学博士Juan Benet所带领的协议实验室所研发的新一代互联网底层技术IPFS。
The Western World is a technology firm engaged in the central cloud storage services of block chains, the core technology of which stems from the new generation of Internet bottom-level technologies IPFS developed by the protocol laboratory led by Dr. Juan Benet of Stanford University.
“这是一个万亿美金级别的市场,西部世界的团队目前拥有业内领先的IPFS运维技术,相当于抢占了整个市场的‘施劳弗高地’。” 啟赋资本的副总裁黄炎华表示,施劳弗高地战役是二战的最后一场堑壕战,拿下这个高地等于拿稳了柏林攻势的入门票,胜利只是时间问题。
“This is a trillion-dollar-grade market, and the Western world's team now owns the industry's leading IPFS transport technology, amounting to stealing the entire market from the ‘Srauf Heights’.” The vice-president who inspired capital, Hwang Yinghua, said that Schlofer Heights was the last trench battle of World War II, and that taking the high ground would be tantamount to securing the entry ticket to the Berlin offensive. Victory is only a matter of time.
西部,象征着勇于开拓的冒险精神、象征着财富。以西部为名的传奇美剧《西部世界》则讲述了自我意识的觉醒。
The West is a symbol of the bold spirit of adventure and wealth. The legendary American play West World, known as the West, speaks of self-awakening.
西部世界创始人倪一叶是美剧《西部世界》的铁粉,这位电子科技大学机械电子工程学院的高材生,也是区块链技术的忠实拥趸,在这个信息大爆炸的时代,数据的狂欢最终将走向哪里?倪一叶在IPFS上看到未来,也在深圳看到了未来。
In this era of information explosion, where will the craze of data finally go? Nia sees the future on the IPFS, as well as the future in Shenzhen.
深圳的未来得益于深圳的营商环境是中国最好的,金融环境更兼容、创业氛围更浓烈,深圳有高效的政府,办事效率高,并且还有其他城市目前所不具备的、全国最健康的经济结构。企业可以更好面向市场,因为毕竟深圳的市场体量从全国甚至全亚洲来讲,肯定是排名最靠前的。
Shenzhen’s future benefits from Shenzhen’s business environment are the best in China, a more compatible financial environment, a stronger entrepreneurial climate, an efficient government in Shenzhen, and the healthiest economic structure in the country that other cities do not currently have. Business can be more market-oriented, because, after all, Shenzhen’s market size is certainly the highest in the country and even Asia as a whole.
啟赋资本深挖区块链
gives capital to dig deeper blocks
“去中心化存储中生态搭建最快速、应用数量最多、网络运维算力部署最多的,目前看来就是IPFS,从存储这块来看,理解为区块链的3.0版本一点都不过分,从记录、运算到存储这也是计算机跟互联网的发展历程,区块链的迭代发展是很相似的。”黄炎华从2017年开始关注、研究IPFS,希望找到传统创投机构介入的新路径。
“The most rapid, applied and network-based ecological development in decentralized storage appears to be IPFS, which is now the most deployed. From storage, version 3.0 of the block chain, which is understood as a computer-to-Internet development process, is not excessive. The iterative development of the block chain is very similar to that of record-keeping, operation-to-storage. Yellow Xia has been following up and studying IPFS since 2017, hoping to find a new path for the involvement of traditional start-up agencies.
啟赋资本从2013年创立以来,累计投资了290多个早期VC项目,投资总额超过60余亿元。2019年以来,啟赋资本投资的跟谁学、航天宏图和天宜上佳、泡泡玛特等明星项目先后上市,啟赋资本潜伏多年后赢取了巨额回报,在“2020第一财经股权投资价值榜”中,啟赋资本位列主榜“年度创业投资机构TOP50”席位;在“2020年中国股权投资年度排名”中,啟赋资本获得“2020年中国早期投资机构30强第六”的名次。
Since its creation in 2013, capital start-up has accumulated more than 290 early VC projects with a total investment of more than 6 billion yuan. Since 2019, capital start-up investors have been listed successively on the market for learning, space-based plans, and excellent, and Bubura-Girl Star projects, and have won huge returns after years of incubating capital. In the 2020 First Financial Equity Investment Values Index, capital start-up is ranked among the top “ToP50” seats for the annual entrepreneurial investment agency; and in China's annual ranking of equity investment in 2020, capital start-up was ranked as the “30th best investment agency in China in 2020”.
在深耕产业互联网和新材料两大赛道的同时,啟赋资本也始终保持着对新生事物的关注和好奇,从2016年开始,啟赋资本就陆续布局了多个区块链项目,包括布比科技、巴比特、币世界等。
In parallel with the two main tracks of the Deep Farming Industry Internet and New Materials, capital activation has been a constant source of concern and curiosity about new things. Starting in 2016, capital activation began with a number of block-link projects, including Bubic Technology, Babbitt, the world of coins, etc.
“在互联网的赛道中,商业模式好的项目很多都是要靠‘抢’,我们在投资中注重估值的,不追风口、不爱溢价抢项目,那就只能去找新的赛道。”黄炎华说,当前的区块链就是早年的互联网,而IPFS有望取代HTTP成为新一代互联网底层协议,这是一个具有颠覆性的方向。
“In the Internet track, many of the good business model projects are `grabbing', and our investment is value-oriented, unchallenged, anti-price-grabbing projects, and we can only find a new track.” Yellow Shirt says that the current block chain is the Internet in its early years, while IPFS is expected to replace HTTP as a new-generation Internet bottom protocol, which is a subversive direction.
“这里也是行业最实业的地方。”黄炎华介绍道,从国家战略层面上看,2020年4月20日国家发改委明确指出要建设以人工智能、云计算、区块链为代表的新技术基础设施;以数据中心、智能计算中心为代表的算力基础设施。
“This is also the most industrial place.” At the national strategic level, the National Development and Reform Commission made clear on 20 April 2020 the need to build a new technological infrastructure represented by artificial intelligence, cloud computing, block chains, and a numeracy infrastructure represented by a data centre, a smart computing centre.
西部世界所做的事情,其实就相当于建房子给数据住。根据主网的升级规则,数据住的房子需要不断迭代升级,这才能保证数据的高效性、便捷性、安全性、稳定性和私密性。
What is done in the western world is tantamount to building a house for data. According to the upgrading rules of the main network, a house with data needs to be upgraded over time in order to ensure the efficiency, accessibility, security, stability and privacy of the data.
“以前福布斯排行榜前十的都是房地产开发商,而未来上榜的,将是这一批给数据建房子的开发商。”黄炎华说,区块链去中心化技术将会带来新一轮的技术革命。
“The top 10 of the Forbes rankings were all real estate developers, and those who will be on the list in the future will be the developers of this batch of data-building houses.” Yellow Xinhua says that decentralizing block chains will lead to a new technological revolution.

2017年8月10日,IPFS的区块链网络在1小时内成功融资2.57亿美元,打破了当时区块链的融资速度和融资规模,而参与该轮融资的投资机构也是一个豪华天团,包括红杉资本、斯坦福大学基金会、DCG投资集团、文克莱沃斯基金、创始人俱乐部、YC孵化器、硅谷安德森基金和USV创投基金。
On 10 August 2017, the IPFS block chain network successfully financed $257 million within an hour, breaking the financing speed and scale of the block chain at the time, while the investment agency participating in the round was also a luxury group, including Redwood Capital, the Stanford University Foundation, the DCG Investment Group, the Vincleworth Fund, the Founder Club, the YC Incubator, the Silicon Valley Andersen Fund and the USV Initiation Fund.
据粗略统计,全球每天会产生500亿GB的数据,相当于68万台72T大型分布式存储器全部饱和存储方可满足一天产生的数据量,在数据不变的情况下一年需要2.47亿台大型存储器才能满足需求。
According to rough statistics, the world produces 50 billion GB data per day, equivalent to 680,000 72T large-distributed storage units for the full saturation of the data generated by the day, requiring 247 million large storage units per year to meet the demand without changing the data.
全球存储容量每两年将近翻一番,最近三年所产生的数据是人类历史上4万年所有数据的总和。如何才能拥有更安全、更大容量、更快速、使用更流畅、更私密、能够得到保护的新数据存储方式?
Global storage capacity nearly doubles every two years, and the data generated in the last three years are the sum of all data in human history for 40,000 years. How can new data storage methods be made safer, more robust, faster, more fluid, more private, and protected?
2015年,斯坦福大学博士Juan Benet所带领的协议实验室推出了 IPFS(The InterPlanetary File System,星际文件系统)。IPFS 是一种点对点的分布式文件系统,使用的是去中心化存储技术,将文件以碎片形式存在于多个节点之上,并行处理传输提速。
In 2015, the protocol laboratory led by Dr. Juan Benet of Stanford University launched the IPFS (The InterPlantary File System, the interplanetary file system). IPFS is a distributed, point-to-point file system using decentralised storage techniques that locate documents above multiple nodes in the form of fragments, processing transmission speeds in parallel.
IPFS 的目标就是打造一个更加开放、快速、安全的互联网,告别传统的 HTTP 协议常见的卡顿和 404 错误,取代HTTP成为新一代互联网底层协议。
The objective of IPFS is to create a more open, fast and secure Internet that will leave the traditional HTTP protocols with the usual Caden and 404 errors, replacing the HTTP as the new generation of Internet bottom protocols.
在区块链的圈子里流传着这样一句话:“比特币带来了货币自由,以太坊带来了股权自由,未来可以预期的,还有去中心化存储带来的信息自由。”
In the circle of the block chain, there is a saying that “bitcoin brings monetary freedom, Etheria brings equity freedom, the future can be expected, and freedom of information from centralization”.
