    The Capital Suck
    Software ate the world. Blockchains are sucking in all the capital. Stablecoin adoption and onchain economic activity now reinforce each other in a loop that has made growth structurally irreversible....

    data is a funny thing in crypto you’d think that since most of it’s public, it would be easy to get an accurate read on what’s going on but the raw data is messy. many data providers try to fix it, but there’s no clear winner—just fragmenting the data more also, many charts

    1/ A lot of new research is emerging about Multiblock MEV (MMEV). Here is a 🧵 about it. TL;DR: In theory, MMEV can lead to centralization. In practice, it is not so prevalent. However, changing the MEV market structure via MEV capture solutions might induce ppl to exploit it.

    Blockchains are the legal system of the internet. With all the froth and mania in the markets, sometimes I need to remind myself what we are building toward. The way I see it… The foundation of the economy is its legal system—namely, contracts and ownership rights. On top of

    1/ 🎉 Excited to share a new paper on @arxiv co-authored w @DavideCrapis & Fahad Saleh ( @CBER_Forum )! tl;dr We study Execution Tickets (ETs 👽), highlight centralization vectors due to heterogeneous MEV extraction abilities & capital costs, and quantify protocol MEV capture.

    Giving a talk on MEV this Friday (15th) at 11:30am @EFDevcon on Stage 2. There’s been groundbreaking research on MEV over the past year, but it’s been tough to follow. I’ll distill it. Topics include: Execution Tickets, Execution Auctions, BRAID, etc. Come thru! Link below👇

    1/ Super excited to share @DavideCrapis and my new Eth Research post: “Execution Auctions as an Alternative to Execution Tickets” tl;dr: Ethereum leaks MEV to proposers, causing negative protocol externalities. We analyze two solutions: EAs and ETs. Would love feedback 😄

    i just had the opportunity to speak after @VitalikButerin. it was surreal, and i don’t take for granted the meritocracy that this industry provides. there are almost no artificial barriers to contribute to open-source research. thx @tzhen for the invite.
