Being able to congregate this many relevant people (searchers, solvers, market makers, trading firms) all in the same room took us several months of planning but it was well worth it!

🚄 Exploration of MEV Latencies
I've decided to expand on my previous piece, exploring the latencies involved in the trade lifecycle under PBS.
I also pose several optimisations and promising research areas to explore.

Latency is still a major principle in the world of MEV.
Building low-latency systems for on-chain trading and arbitrage is a multi-faceted problem. However, likening it to traditional trading systems helps to understand each part.

The idea of a transaction supply network is very enticing, especially as more components spin up to provide more functionalities to the user.
One interesting problem to think about is the “last aggregator” problem.
🧵/
1// how do we solve the "last aggregator" problem in DeFi? inherent benefit to being the "highest level" aggregator, and I'm not sure can be solved easily. Some examples: DEX aggregators that aggregate other DEX aggregators, baskets of stablecoins, baskets of staking derivs, etc

A lot of innovation by using Uniswap v4 hooks, but almost certain we'll also see a few dangers to be wary of:
- One-way ponzi pools i.e can only buy one way
- Salmonella v2: the hookening
- Privilege escalation (if pool key isn't checked)
- Pool-state-as-oracle manipulation

I still think about this to this day - in fact, came up in conversation recently
Perhaps it’ll take us a step closer to optimising intent / trade execution, where block builders now become public execution platforms for both institutional firms and the lay user?
Block builders should offer DEX aggregation services
It'd give traders (some) pre-trade privacy and builders can dynamically find the optimal route at the time of execution instead of needing to find it way before execution (current standard)

Thinking of an updated version of this:
the question of why a dapp would opt for one solver network / aggregator over another is akin to the reasons one would choose one exchange over another:
> accessibility
> liquidity
> brand value
> customer loyalty
> first-mover advantage
the question of why a user would opt for one solver over another is akin to the reasons one would choose one exchange over another:
> accessibility
> liquidity
> brand value
> customer loyalty
> first-mover advantage
> available pairs
> token offerings

A DEX aggregator doesn’t need to directly compete with an orderbook.
If the book is more competitive than one's routing, an aggregator can refer to the book for improved quotes.
If the aggregator is more competitive, it can overcut on the book to capture more flow / surplus.

Enjoyed this overview piece by
@keccak254
on a next step forward for the Ethereum blockspace market: illuminate the block building market through reputation scoring and visualising
Potential features that come to mind:
- Commitment to PGA / FCFS
- Frontruns
- Subsidies / rebates
I wrote a article to make builder reputation visible as a way to mitigate the centralization of block builders.
The builder reputation system is still underdeveloped, but I believe in its potential. Hopefully this article will facilitate discussion.
