- A list of research papers, talks and articles on MEV
- Okay let's do this, What is your favourite crypto/defi research paper or technical blog?
- Convex optimization seems to be an increasingly important topic to know given AMM design, research and growing popularity within finance. Just sharing a few resources that I've found helpful for learning and revising it.
- Wrote a second part on coprocessors with @0xkrane. In this we identify the trend of offloading compute in the Ethereum ecosystem and put it into perspective about how we are heading to a proof based world
- An open list of problems spanning across crypto (2nd Edition) The problems we solve decide the direction we take in the future and the adoption we see.
- Wrote an opinion piece on OlympusDAO which to me has always been an interesting experiment. mirror.xyz/0xemperor.eth/…
- Wrote about Part 2 in the series on "The theory of MEV." The best way I've thought about this paper is that it describes sampling rules for MEV like the one we see in Signal Processing.
- Wrote an incomplete primer on Intents. The discourse around intents has fascinated me since it looks like a much-needed evolution of UX. I believe intent architectures will mostly be application-specific.
- My first article on @viamirror is out. I break down the paper, "Improved Price Oracles: Constant Function Market Makers". Just the first of many. mirror.xyz/0xemperor.eth/…
- Replying to @DegenSpartanSo there's actually research which says that hidden voting is better (also seen in ballot voting), because passive voters tend to subconsciously prefer majority vote in public votes (when they arent privy to things). Strange we have not seen these experiments.
- Replying to @CL207I once knew a cat, only tit for tat, in the orderbooks he sat, then the exchange went flat.
