I am open sourcing the MEV bundle generator and multicall which was winning most Uniswap v2 arbitrage for a few months in 2021. - it's written in rust, and kind of in a messy state, but there is stuff to glean for the MEV researchers out there.

AMMs have the potential to evolve and become more sophisticated with cheaper blockspace and on-chain compute. However, almost all AMM LPs lose money, we need more sophisticated AMM designs.

I've been thinking on the nature of MEV. The fact is that people leak beta/gamma to purposefully send others down optimization rabbit holes, while they themselves spend time finding new alpha, and given the fact that MEV is a negative sum game, win.

Whilst Openzeppelin is a powerful tool for rapid prototyping, I am convinced it leads to a lot of gas inefficient code on mainnet. Consider solmate from

Been thinking quite a bit about order flow, disparate markets, MEV, solvers, block builders, etc, etc again past few days. A pretty opaque but also complex and powerful settlement system has emerged rather organically in defi. I don't think it's any less opaque than tradfi though

This is one of the primary issues we are addressing with
@warlock_xyz
- strong solvency for lending protocols. By ensuring that positions are continuously monitored on integrated protocols, we can ensure that volatility events don’t leave protocols holding bad debt.
looks like comp v2 just ate about 3m of bad debt from the UNI +40% candle which didn't oracle update fast enough
multiple mev bots managed to create accounts like these

One of the most important features of Rust is that it makes you handle missing data and all possible error conditions, in other words, you have to explicitly ignore them with semantics like unwrap, and when you do - you know you are creating future bugs.
