Holy shit. 79% of Uniswap volume is now sandwich attack trades. WTF!
THIS is the product you shill on twitter? That you say is INFINITE MONEY PRINTER? Is THIS JOKE? Maybe I was being TOO KIND by saying that you as a trader get BUTT FUCKED by making a trade. Absolutely DISGUSTING
I see a LOT of BAD takes in the replies of this thread.
You want to talk about MEV? OK WE talk about MEV.
When you hear fancy people say MEV is theft, FLASHLOANS are MISTAKE, ETC. ETC. This is PURE COPE!

Time for LONG JOSHUA RANT. PLS READ if you are considering LPing or are on an AMM.
The FACT that HAYden had to write this thread shows he’s aware of the DISASTER that LPing has been for all users of Uniswap except for the “professional” liquidity providers he also denies exist
Some thoughts on the term “impermanent loss”
AMMs make liquidity provision accessible to new and wider audiences, with significantly less sophistication than traditional market makers
I made up the word impermanent loss (IL) to help describe to new audiences (NOT professional

The move from smart contracts to off-chain infrastructure that has permission-less settlement will be fast and shocking.
I think this will be the clear next move across EVERY type of dapp.

26/ And that's because the "reach quantity" was the upper bound for reaching the tick boundary was calculated as ...22080000, whereas the exploiter set a swap quantity of ...220799999
That shows just how carefully engineered this exploit was. The check failed by <0.00000000001%
Hello everyone,
First and absolutely foremost: We want to acknowledge that this has been a trying week for the crypto industry and for lenders and borrowers in particular.
dAMM did not experience ANY losses from our borrowers. 1/12
We’re sorry everyone, we lied.
We said that we’d stop doing airdrops, and we said that we’d launch the first bond redemptions with a 20% discount, but we were wrong.
So we’re here to apologize… 1/4
I think I need to write important thread on perhaps one of the most under explored questions in DeFi…
if market makers are so sophisticated why do ONLY 2 dominate all on-chain trading?
Hello my frens today I wish to write you a thread on two things
1. Why I love Aori
2. Give you some Aori alpha if you’re interested in MEV, trade on-chain at all, or want to build cool things on Aori (skip 16/n for this)
ok lets begin…

Yes yes let me TELL you about how AORI going to REVOLUTIONIZE trading yes.

I'm incredibly concerned about GMX and it's ability to stay above watermark for LP's. In the last 100 days, GMX LP's have lost: $32,913,000
In total, that is 23% of ALL fees generated, ever.
GLP will become a net loser for all LP's unless a change is made soon.

The reason there has been so little innovation in onchain liquidity since

Is because it’s unbelievably hard to build generalized trading systems that can integrate new schema.

The CEO of DAI Makah Daoh has officially announced an infusion of $500M USDC into the algorithmic stablecoin DAI to avoid a potential depegging. When asked for a comment he replied:

Arbitrage the big boys! You no longer have to be CITADEL TO perform an arbitrage, you can be JOE SCHMOE And ARB THEIR STALE PRICES! Do not listen to them, use flashloans for your advantage. They are incredibly powerful tool that makes markets efficient

You are saying that because SOMEONE trade GOOD against YOU that means they are STEALING. NO! You just are bad trader! Stop LPING and be the good arbitrager instead!

My father-in-law is a founder of a FAMOUS AMM. He is insanely gifted. We were in a call together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build an Orderbook today. I will never forget his answer…
“We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”
It BLOWS MY MIND that so many FINANCIAL PROTOCOLS obsess over attracting RETAIL FLOW or LIQUIDITY… is it not OBVIOUS after 10 YEARS that the only people who LOVE this decrepit industry are AUTISTIC HFT nerds from tradfi or uni? Use brain for a moment please…

While flashloans have sped up many hacks, those hacks were inevitable with with capital and by the same vein many hacks were avoided with flashloans! The reason THEY HATE them is because Flashloans DEMOCRATIZED the ability for YOU to

degeneracy means little in the context of reactionary thought. The issue is when degeneracy is welcomed into law+culture; which is a completely an enlightenment phenomenon and brief periods of bad Roman monarchs.

My friend MITIGATING Impermanent LOSS is like trying to PATCH a BULLET HOLE with A BANDAID
YOU do NOT need a bigger BANDAID you need to STAY AWAY from GUNS!
aori solves a major problem for MM's and searchers wanting to extend their trading into each other's domains
for Searchers: you don't need to build blocks or even work with a blockbuilder, you can simply take CEX pricing yourself from Aori quoters and fill across multiple blocks

Thank you
@Delphi_Digital
for featuring Aori in your latest research article. It is an exceptional read from start to finish.
You can read through the full article, "The Future of On-Chain Liquidity" linked below ⬇️
This makes amms all the more ironic!
Onchain CLOBS never have taken off because when you charge makers gas for making and cancelling, you limit the amount of orders they can profitably place. Thus CLOBS that are ENTIRELY onchain have a liquidity ceiling based on GAS.
What this
@0x94305
@AustinAdams10
It's almost entirely driven by gas cost, particularly during periods of low volatility.
For example, two weeks ago the V2 ETH/USDC was doing more volume than the V3 0.3% pool, despite the latter having more TVL and liquidity being concentrated. Mainly because V2 wins much more
This conversation with
@joshuagunn
helped me understand MEV terminology and also nerd sniped me goodly: Why AMMS got broke by MEV, and about CEX-DEX arbitrage, which is really hard for the little guy to do (and is where serious arb money happens)
u must understand I will not sleep until aori is:
completely gasless for non programmatic users
you can swap any token, on any chain
and lastly: amms are GONE
