Thrilled to have jammed w/ Angela Lu and danning to build orderflow.art! We've just open-sourced the repository: github.com/JadenDurnford/…

this is equivalent to you enjoying a perfect New York slice (of pizza) made with flour and mozzarella sourced from the italian mafia and fresh tomatoes delivered by new jersey mobsters, both of whom had to kill a guy to get the best ingredients but pizza gud so who cares

Early on there was a plausible argument that Uniswap X could actually contribute to decentralizing liquidity. While many solvers would compete by using off-chain liquidity (internalizer solvers), other solvers would specialize in very clever routing strategies for on-chain

.Angela Lu tells the amazing story of 35 entities cooperating and competing at the same time in 4 subsequent auctions in just few seconds - all so that we can trade worthless meme-coins in the most efficient way. DeFi is beautiful!

🧵1) We have taken a close look at the 'Coincidence of Wants' concept in DeFi swaps. Analyzing 25 random blocks (19063173 - 19063198), we aimed to understand its effectiveness with the current trading volumes. Spoiler alert: it is feasible to save nearly $1.5 million in token

here's "Sirrah", a minimalist TEE coprocessor! Kind of a mashup of Solidity and Gramine-SGX. The code release and end-to-end demo include an MEV-aware auction and a timelock decryptor writings.flashbots.net/suave-tee-copr… w Mateusz Morusiewicz konVera and more

Robin Hanson Would you consider automated market makers (AMMs) a relatively recent crypto value add? Hard to dispute that the ability to easily and cheaply spin up liquid markets without high skilled, high touch professional market makers is a big unlock. Also hard to dispute that there’s not

How do TEEs work at a high level? Can we use them for blockchain use cases? How easy is it to run sth. like a validator in TDX? Checkout these takeaways at zuberlin: streameth.org/zuberlin/watch…

I'm very excited to share this project and grateful we had an opportunity to collaborate! Flashbots and rsync teams put in an insane amount of effort, setting a milestone in the practical application of TEEs in MEV. This tech has potential to change Ethereum supply chain forever

BOB on TDX is the most surprising and innovative project I've seen yet from Flashbots. It actually runs a *sandboxed proprietary process* from an untrusted searcher tenant, accessing sensitive data from a colocated builder. It's a low-latency TEE-enforced data room

Rocco if you think "hobbyists" has anything to do with it you are still missing the point perhaps one place to start is actually quantifying why people want the type of decentralization these systems provide, why it wins every time despite being slower and less convenient, and what

TradFi vs DeFi

we are finally on the way to widespread dont trust verification culture in our food and im very excited

We have been experimenting with TEEs to allow searchers to backrun private transactions, but programmatically restrict them from sandwiching or exporting private data. x.com/0xangelfish/st… We're excited to bring this to L2s with a next-generation MEV auction!
