Privacy Enabling Tech (ZK, MPC, FHE, TEE) may have more or less the same goal but each of them has a differentiated approach to privacy with its own set of ideal use cases and limitations. ZKPs enable single-user privacy without data disclosure. MPC relies on collective trust

1/I spent the last few weeks diving into dark pools. Here's a deep dive Since 2011, Tradfi Dark Pools have paid out over $340M in penalties for mishandling confidential trade information The future of crypto dark pools is trustless privacy and many projects are working on it.

MEV on L2s could be getting a makeover with @arbitrum 's Time Boost. A second-price sealed bid auction instead of First-come-first serve model could enable backrunning and arbitrage instead of just latency games. We will also have L2 liquidations with @API3DAO 's OEV Network

2/ Privacy is a silent but growing concern in defi. People don’t mind showing their faces on social media and expressing opinions but when it comes to “putting money where the mouth is” most people prefer to do it privately. This is the case for both institutions and individuals.

3/ Dark Pools have existed since the late ‘60s and make up ~14% of US trade Volume. While they’ve been a tool of great convenience, dark pools are not free of trust issues. An operator can leak confidential order information to others who trade against its customers for profit.

4/ In crypto, truly private dark pools don’t have to trust an operator. Beyond privacy, dark pools also reduce the price impact large trades may have on markets. Issues like front-running, copy-trading, and wallet tracking are solved if not minimized.

@Ariiellus @arbitrum @API3DAO There's also DEX-DEX arbitrage on L2s. Given that Arbitrum follows FCFS, searchers could mostly compete on latency. Here with bundling made available, searchers can get creative with their bundles, like they do on L1.
