Bulding the infrastructure layer for on-chain capital markets. Building @FermiTrade and @ContinuumChain https://t.co/s5nzgXxxIg









There is no true “fifo”. True fifo would be each user gets a perfect timestamp as soon as they sign their tx and txs cannot be dropped and are executed in timestamp order. All the deviations from this introduce some exploit vector. Mcp + fba is actually a closer approximation to true fair FIFO then what people call fifo.

MCP would eliminate the @jito_sol @harmonic_gg business models: BAM and open block building are incompatible with MCP is this a good or bad result? discuss





Consider the following. To have price discovery on a CLOB you must have FIFO, but FIFO is incompatible with permissionless sequencing. Therefore you can’t have price discovery on a permissionless CLOB. You can have extremely liquid markets. But not price discovery.

Thesis Drop: MEV has become the dominant limit to scaling blockchains. Our data reveals that the dominant paradigm of MEV extraction has moved to on-chain searching, and is starting to consume most of the capacity of most high throughput blockchains. 🧵 👇
