I've always been puzzled by loss-vs-rebalancing (LVR), markouts, market microstructure, toxic flow, and other market making concepts applied to AMM LPs. It's not that I don't understand these ideas, it's just that something always seemed off with the framing. I've been LPing

EthCC was hands down the best conference I've been to in the past 5 years.

EthCC was awesome! Being in France as a french-speaker was a huge unlock for connections, with more than 50% of my convos, and dare I say 80% of the alpha, happening en français. See you next year, Cannes 🏖️🥖🇫🇷

I quite enjoyed speaking with people outside of my usual bubble at EthCC this week. Turns out many of my takes are considered contrarian in some circles. Will post the spiciest ones here 🌶️

Bullshit Analysis In Transit (BAIT) #1 Sandwich attacks in AMMs are extremely beneficial for LPs. - 3x the fees (3 swaps instead of 1) - same net price move, so no extra risk. - effectively a 73% increase in IV with 0 change in RV As an LP, I want *more* sandwich attacks.

BAIT #2 Central Limit Order Books (CLOBs) don’t belong on general-purpose L1/L2s. - intermediaries are required for any trade (ie. market makers), which leads to centralized choke-points - a non-zero transaction cost means orders can’t easily get cancelled to avoid toxic flow -

BAIT #3: cross-chain interop will never make DeFi move away from the L1. - Issuers of RWAs, LST/LRT, tokenized assets will choose a home base - Lending, swapping, leveraging against those tokens will happen on that chain - Liquidation, risk management, hedging will also stay

Anyone know where the "buy" part of a token buyback-and-burn program gets executed?
