@_Dave__White_ @toly @paradigm @matthuang @alanapalmedo @danrobinson @FEhrsam Congrats!

today was my last day @paradigm i'm so grateful to @matthuang, @alanapalmedo, @danrobinson, @FEhrsam, and the rest of the team for the opportunity and for taking such good care of me over the past five (!) years i'm also very excited for my next chapter. watch this space.

@danrobinson @gakonst Why this amount? Is there a clear general solution if the $ amount is far higher?

Suppose I want to pay ~$100-500 to subsidize a prediction market on a specific question I have, with the goal of getting as accurate a probability estimate as possible. What is the best turnkey way for me to do that today?

@FrankieIsLost Can you remove line 70 of submission_tests.py so that I can submit a 0-cycle solution

this is a really great test for AI tool proficiency, since it requires working with long-running tasks, multi-step reasoning, tool use and iterative debugging. here's a leaderboard for it if you want to enter the arena:

@transmissions11 @imagine_mev does this count? sorts bits

@imagine_mev this is a shitpost

@MonetSupply Wait, beanstalk got attacked?

governance attacks to date: - beanstalk - build finance - steem/hive - mirror (attack failed) - maker flash loan (arguable not an attack/not malicious) what am I missing?

@_Dave__White_ Wolfram is correct, but it's undefined, not unbounded, when cos(x/2) = 0 (due to domain of tan)

what is the integral of 1/(cos(x) + 2)? cos(x) is always greater than -1, so this integral should be monotonic increasing but for some reason, wolfram is telling me it becomes unbounded to both the upside and downside on a regular period wolframalpha.com/input?i=integr…

@danrobinson Yeah it'd be more expensive than CLOB. Despite that I still like the idea because (more flexibility for) custom maker order types would be super neat

@wardbradt The gas issue seems impossible to solve Gas cost proportional to the number of unique liquidity providers, some of which may even fail!

Anyone want me to roast their AMM design? It's Friday night

@angeris Do you mean where a validator charges delegators an effective zero fee? And "enforces no-arb" => zero fee is the equilibrium, or this would make zero fee the equilibrium?

Waiting for the day someone enforces no-arb on consensus and just gives the rewards to delegators

@EdgarArout pool.removeTx(tx.Hash(), false) lol

Here’s a head scratcher - what kind of tricks can you do to have a pending mempool txn get evicted from mempool

@0xalpharush @cmichelio Derivations for Balancer and Curve are in section 2.5 here stanford.edu/~guillean/pape…

@0xalpharush @cmichelio This is a generalization to Balancer tokens if you're interested docs.gyro.finance/overview/core-…

Is this the accepted solution to pricing Univ2 tokens or are there other approaches? h/t @cmichelio blog.alphafinance.io/fair-lp-token-…

@zmanian @tarunchitra @gakonst @Interledger What did you mean by "MSB" here? @zmanian

@tarunchitra @gakonst @Interledger The main problem for the Interledger vision has been the regulatory go to market. Is there a 50 state & global MSB willing to make accelerating L1/L2 interoperability their core business ? Can we create one?

Can't wait for people to start doing cross Layer 2 interoperability by using market makers that hold inventory risk on the L1 The experienced reader will know that this is basically the @Interledger vision

@statelayer @hasufl Is this a joke

There are few things I am as certain about as this: Sooner or later, every algo ponzi collapses. You can have the best memes - doesn't matter. If not today, then next week or next month.

Unexpected protocol design tip from @_Dave__White_ in a Twitter space on RICKS: read the Japanese manga "Liar Game"

@angeris @JonnyRhea @tarunchitra @yevhenx @alexhevans @danrobinson very cool. I was previously unaware of Savage '71 and the work between '07 and '11

Best papers on AMMs to read? cc @alexhevans @angeris @tarunchitra @danrobinson 🙏

@kevinsekniqi @phildaian Will the default transaction ordering be price-time priority (as it was pre-Snowman++)? This would open up Avalanche to priority gas auctions, which one could interpret as a form of FCFS. And if Snowman++ still has a gas price ceiling then it is more so FCFS

@thegostep Thoughts on the general idea of redirecting extractable value to users? Instead of only miners and searchers as in mev-geth

Throw some questions below twitter.com/i/spaces/1ynKO…

Super interesting article on AMM research. Very cool @PlanetHunter_HS

@hasufl @gakonst What forms of MEV exist for OpenSea? Are any atomic?

@gakonst OpenSea must surely be the biggest emittent of MEV today but on the other hand, writing a bot for it must be simple enough that the margins get compressed extremely hard

Best bot category to build today?
