I used to think all DEX aggregators were basically the same — they all just “aggregate,” right? Turns out, not even close After hundreds of millions in on-chain swaps over the past months, I found a tool that shows how differently they actually perform: @matchametaxyz meta aggregator Some crush it, some trip up. Here’s what stood out 🧵

Happy 10 years birthday to @ethereum ! I am forever grateful for this email and how @ethereumJoseph graciously offered an internship for 2 students like us who were just curious and passionate about Ethereum. It opened the door for me to this industry and paved the way to where I am today. Like all of us, Ethereum is what we work on and what we love, what we believe in and what becomes part of our identity.

Let's create a tokenized world where all value can flow freely

Ethereum turns 10🎉 and we're hosting an epic birthday celebration in SF alongside robots, AI, arts, music & more. This Wednesday at 4pm Come join us with @tkstanczak from @ethereumfndn, @ETHGlobal, @daimopay , @EspressoSys, and @PrismaXai at the @frontiertower.

1/ 📜 New research just dropped on one of the darkest corners of MEV: CEX-DEX arbitrage. @William33203632 @sui414 @soispoke @malleshpai mapped 7.2M trades and $233.8M in extracted value, using a custom Dune dataset. Here’s what they found 🧵

small feature request for @_hex_tech : i open hex by typing in browser every time, why it has to go to the landing page without pre-load my login to the app page directly? it makes me click "Log In" to do anything every time, either check dash or create new ones. is it intentionally designed to make user do 2-click conversion, this seems like some unnecessary friction. maybe im an edge case in user journey..

I partnered with @Data_Always to provide our MEV perspective on the Glamsterdam upgrade. TLDR: While BALs are uncontroversially good for the EL, there is no standout candidate for the CL. Every option has clear pros & cons, some of which surprised us.

How much profits does MEV bots 🤖 really make from CEX-DEX Arbitrage? No one can answer this question before, but we are excited to share a new paper measuring it with formal methods finally! (We got accepted by AFT25' !🥳) I summarized all the alpha in one pic for you 😃

my favorite part of this is that you can see not just the subslot ordering, but also the shift in the full block. here for example, the transaction at index 122 here would have been ToB and skewed everyone else's execution.

1/ AI is coming to Ethereum. And Ethereum is ready to be its backbone. This Friday, @EthereumHouseSF hosts a gathering of the builders shaping AI x Ethereum — in the city that’s the global capital of AI. Here’s why it’s important👇
