>50% of trading volume on Uniswap are consumed by MEV bot, while only 16.3% volume (potentially less) now are originated from Uniswap UI.
Another quarter are consumed by aggregators, and another 21.3% consumed by unknown applications (partially potentially bots too).

@0xProject
, I’ve recently made change to jump deeper in MEV rabbithole!
(picture rendered by Midjourney: a girl stepping into the glorious dark forest.)
Today, ~15% of Ethereum Txs are landed thru Private Mempools.
Cross-checking txs seen by public mempools, we are able to observe the trend of Ethereum txs moving towards private channels over time - thru metrics across the Tx Settlement Stack on Ethereum. 👀

This graph is a re-statement of

A thread 👇of cross-chain stats & user behaviors based on 0x API volume:
(1/x)
It's time to talk about L2 MEV!
L2s activities surged after Dencun. As the cost goes down, more bot activities and spamming tactics appear. They cause 2 problems: gas congestions & high reverts.
On Base, BananaGun Telegram Bot users pay 43x‼️ higher gas price than other users!
Uniswap X Volume has surpassed $1b since the launch. 👀
Over 15 fillers are active today and winning volume, and more are onboarding - 4 new filler contracts were seen in the past week;
but the top 3 fillers are filling up to ~90% volume.

won this prompt apparently 😹😹😹.
OH at a Crypto Academic Research Camp:
a famous CFMM researcher chewing a sandwich: “actually I’ve never used Uniswap til today even once”
A famous game theorist who designs auction for a major wallet: “me neither, I’ve still never used Uniswap or even MetaMask.”
when people say "Solana has good UX"
do they just simply mean Phantom wallet is better than Metamask? and maybe faster block time?
cuz the <revert🔁resubmit trade> experience was pretty bad for me
(i hold SOL / not a hater just wondering the good UX narrative)
INSANE amount of fee revenue for Telegram Bots on the memecoins craziness
1)

2)

Since the launch 2 years ago, there were over 12m Flashbots Protect txs landed onchain (including legacy endpoint & RPC).

sure execution layer rewards is smaller than consensus layer, but itself is still a ~$500-800m scale business.

personally also prefer data onchain - the cost is the security guarantee - that’s the whole design of gas fee and block space
How do I trust a data that’s just running offchain, or you are basically spinning out a DA layer for Ethereum?
not onchain, not consensus, not truth.
Not emitting events is not "optimizing" it is a huge step backwards
I get that devs are incentivized to minimize gas consumption. There is a clear benefit for the usefulness of the contract
We already have one hell of a story to explain to regulators, and now we have to tell

Does that mean there is no users on Uniswap frontend? - NO, 62.5% user traffic are from Uni V3 Router. Come next 1/4 user traffic from 0x API.
This just shows the 80/20 Pareto on DeFi right now 🤔- 20% whale managing 80% volume; while 80% retail manages the 20% tail.

Interesting to see the breakdown of capital efficiency across fee-rate pools differ largely on Uni v3:
USDC-WETH 5bps pool shows almost ~600% turnover, while 100bps is lower than v2 pool.

in the past 6 months, Ethereum onchain transactions from private mempool quickly grew to over 30% now.
