The big ideas here:<ul><li>It's an Ethereum Layer 2 chain built on ZKsync tech and created by the parent company of the Pudgy Penguins</li><li>It's focused on all things <a href="https://www.abs.xyz/blog/articles/what-is-consumer-crypto?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">consumer crypto</a>—starting with collectibles, games, social media, etc., and with plans to expand deeper into DeFi, DePin, and beyond</li><li>It's providing unique offerings, like a <a href="https://x.com/0xCygaar/status/1883775139554505123?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">one-stop discovery hub</a>, the <a href="https://x.com/AbstractChain/status/1828878205874516006?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">Abstract Global Wallet</a>, <a href="https://x.com/AbstractChain/status/1880035786772607487?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">Abstract Incentives</a>, <a href="https://x.com/AbstractChain/status/1883215237316547005?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">Abstract Live</a>, and <a href="https://pg.abs.xyz/?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">Panoramic Governance</a> </li></ul><figure><img src="https://bankless.ghost.io/content/images/2025/01/image---2025-01-28T134058.065.png" alt=""></figure>I've already seen more than a few people asking for a guide on how to get started on this new L2, so let's walk through the basics of diving in below.<h2>Creating an Abstract account</h2>Your portal for interacting with the Abstract app ecosystem will be the Abstract Global Wallet (AGW), a smart wallet that allows for social logins, account recoveries, and more. To begin here:<ol><li>Go to <a href="https://www.abs.xyz/?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">www.abs.xyz</a></li><li>Click on the "Login" button</li><li>Sign in with an email, a Google account, a passkey, or another wallet</li></ol>At this point, your AGW account will be created, and you'll arrive at your personal wallet hub (<a href="https://www.abs.xyz/wallet?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">abs.xyz/wallet</a>) like so:<figure><img src="https://bankless.ghost.io/content/images/2025/01/image---2025-01-28T144905.528.png" alt=""></figure><h2>Funding your Abstract account</h2>Now you can proceed by funding your account with ETH, Abstract's gas token, using the "Fund" button on the right side of your wallet page. Clicking here will bring up a series of deposit options, including Coinbase and Moonpay. Selecting the "Bridge" option will bring you to a <a href="https://jumper.exchange/?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">Jumper</a> bridging interface in case you want to send funds in from another one of your Ethereum wallets. <figure><img src="https://bankless.ghost.io/content/images/2025/01/image---2025-01-28T145401.675.png" alt=""></figure>After your ETH has arrived, you'll see the funds confirmed in your Abstract wallet dashboard, and you'll be ready to start exploring the network. <h2>Claiming your first Abstract badges</h2>Thanks to the Abstract Incentives system, you can earn XP points by 1) interacting with Abstract apps, and 2) achieving certain user milestones that can be claimed via NFTs through weekly badges, flash badges, and secret badges. To get started here, click on the "Rewards" tab in your Abstract wallet dashboard or head to <a href="https://www.abs.xyz/rewards?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">www.abs.xyz/rewards</a>. Doing so will bring you to a page that looks like this: <figure><img src="https://bankless.ghost.io/content/images/2025/01/image---2025-01-28T151124.086.png" alt=""></figure>This is where you'll be able to track your Abstract XP points, discover new badge challenges, and claim badges you've already achieved. You can also connect your Discord account at this point for an added XP boost. To lock in your achievements, check the "Badges" tab and click on any available "Claim" icons you see. Right off the bat, you'll be able to easily collect badges for funding your account and connecting your Twitter and Discord accounts. <figure><img src="https://bankless.ghost.io/content/images/2025/01/image---2025-01-28T151548.741.png" alt=""></figure>Two other badges that are easy to knock out are through the "App Voter" and "The Trader" achievements:<ul><li>Complete the voting milestone by heading over to the "Discover" tab (<a href="https://www.abs.xyz/discover?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">abs.xyz/discover</a>) and clicking on the green upvote arrow on one of the highlighted apps</li><li>Complete the trading milestone by going to the "Trade" tab (<a href="https://www.abs.xyz/trade?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">abs.xyz/trade</a>) and using the UI to swap into one of the available tokens</li></ul>Keep in mind that you can earn a $PENGU holder XP multiplier by holding at least 88,888 $PENGU on Abstract, so consider this as a swap option if you're interested in boosting your points. Ultimately, any trade will suffice for the trading achievement, though. Carry out these initial quests, and you'll be able to quickly rack up your first 5 Abstract badges. <figure><img src="https://bankless.ghost.io/content/images/2025/01/image---2025-01-28T153042.515.png" alt=""></figure><h2>Trying your first Abstract apps</h2>The simplest way to find Abstract apps to explore is through the "Discover" tab (<a href="https://www.abs.xyz/discover?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">abs.xyz/discover</a>) of your wallet portal. At the top of this page, you'll find curated "Spotlight Apps." These projects currently include:<ul><li>Moonshot — <a href="https://dexscreener.com/moonshot/abstract?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">A memecoin launcher and trading platform</a></li><li>Magic Eden — <a href="https://magiceden.us/abstract?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">A popular multichain NFT marketplace</a></li><li>Multiplier — <a href="https://multiplier.fun/login?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">A memecoin betting app</a></li><li>Vibes TCG — <a href="https://www.vibes.game/?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">A Pudgy Penguins trading card game</a></li><li>Duper — <a href="https://www.duper.gg/?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">A real-time strategy game with wagering and social deception</a></li><li>Myriad — <a href="https://myriad.markets/?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">A predictions marketplace</a></li></ul><figure><img src="https://bankless.ghost.io/content/images/2025/01/image---2025-01-29T111822.789.png" alt=""></figure>You can also scroll down on the Discover page to find trending tokens, ongoing livestreams, and a full list of all the projects that are active in the Abstract ecosystem. If you're not sure where to begin, one of the easiest starting points is collecting an Abstract NFT on Magic Eden. For example, my first collect was from <a href="https://magiceden.us/collections/abstract/0xb47a26df28923bc826100256e7d5fa01cd0817a7?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">derplets</a>, an <a href="https://x.com/dailofrog/status/1883967820243050646?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">interactive</a>, fully onchain project by dailofrog. At the time of writing, the floor price was 0.02 ETH. <figure><blockquote>derplets minted out, thank u all! secondaries now available on <a href="https://twitter.com/MagicEden?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&amp;ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">@MagicEden</a> :<a href="https://t.co/FW9KSdSSrY?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">https://t.co/FW9KSdSSrY</a> apologies if i couldnt get to your DMs in time, it was a chaotic last few hours, i tried my best 🐸🫶 <a href="https://t.co/4cFs4LUvHg?ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">pic.twitter.com/4cFs4LUvHg</a>— dailofrog 🐸🚬 (@dailofrog) <a href="https://twitter.com/dailofrog/status/1883964853649563794?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&amp;ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">January 27, 2025</a></blockquote></figure>If you're feeling adventurous and wanting to try something more advanced, consider Duper—it's a social war game that's like a cross between Catan and Poker, and it brings deception, strategy, and wagering together in a really interesting way.To dive in, you can exchange some ETH for Chips, which cost $1 each and are used to pay the entrance fee for ranked matches. One game round should take just a little bit over 30 minutes. <figure><blockquote>Introducing Duper Season 4 on <a href="https://twitter.com/AbstractChain?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&amp;ref=bankless.ghost.io" rel="nofollow">@AbstractChain</a> mainnet.

In time, I think it's certainly possible for Abstract to become a top 10 L2 when it comes to total value secured and activity levels. The network's developers have what it takes to raise their ecosystem up to these heights, and now it's just a matter of continuing to deliver on the vision. The grand question currently is where the Abstract XP system will go from here. Presumably it's leading up to an airdrop, so keep an eye on your Abstract Rewards page to track new badge opportunities and position yourself in the meantime! </div>

이 주간 블록체인 업계의 화제는 Abstract 네트워크의 출시입니다. 주요 내용은 다음과 같습니다:

- Pudgy Penguins의 모회사가 개발한 이더리움 레이어 2 체인으로, ZKsync 기술을 기반으로 합니다.
- 콜렉터블, 게임, 소셜미디어 등 소비자 암호화폐 분야에 초점을 맞추고 있으며, DeFi, DePin 등으로 확장할 계획입니다.
- 원스톱 디스커버리 허브, Abstract Global Wallet, Abstract Incentives, Abstract Live, Panoramic Governance 등의 독특한 서비스를 제공합니다.

Abstract 계정 생성, 계정 자금 조달, 첫 번째 Abstract 뱃지 획득, 첫 번째 Abstract 앱 사용 등 기본적인 사용 방법을 안내했습니다. 향후 Abstract 생태계의 발전과 XP 시스템에 대한 전망도 제시했습니다.

추상적 L2를 시작하는 방법

출시 후 극심한 매도세 이후, 트럼프 대통령과 연계된 월드 리버티 파이낸셜(WLFI) 토큰은 최근 저점 대비 51% 이상 급등하며 초기 회복 조짐을 보였습니다. 그러나 이러한 상승세는 오래가지 못했습니다.

WLFI가 최저가에서 51% 급등한 후 매도자들이 가격을 0.20달러로 끌어내렸습니다. 앞으로 어떤 일이 일어날까요?

EVM 호환 레이어 1 블록체인인 솜니아(Somnia)는 가장 빠르게 상승하는 신규 토큰 중 하나를 빠르게 탄생시켰습니다. 솜니아(SOMI)는 지난 24시간 동안 거의 40% 급등하여 현재 1.59달러 부근에서 거래되고 있습니다.

Somnia Price가 Catapult 움직임을 시도합니다. 풀백이 46% 랠리를 촉발할 수 있는 이유는 다음과 같습니다.

이더리움 가격은 이번 달 모멘텀을 잃었습니다. 오늘(9월 9일) 4,330달러로 하락하며 8월 최고치 대비 13% 하락했습니다. 블랙록이 계속해서 매도세를 보이는 가운데, 이번 하락세는 추가 하락의 시작일 수 있습니다.
