Unbelievable the amount of cope, seethe, and hoop jumping people are doing to discredit deepseeks accomplishments lol
Our new Solana mainnet validator Ghost is live. If you find our public data & research useful, please consider delegating to support our work. stakewiz.com/validator/HJmf…
If you don't believe in wide(*) sandwiching, here's a thought experiment: Let's assume a MEV bot: (1) Has access to a transaction, with or without the signature (2) Does _not_ have privileged access to the current leader _and_ cannot bundle through Jito So you're either…
I am highly skeptical of "blind sandwiching" It seems far more plausible that "blind" sandwiching is simply validators sandwiching and trying to avoid being caught
2/ 16 months of blocks, 8.5 Billion trades, over $1T in DEX volume. Over this time period, the Atomic Arb volume was $380M.
Skimmed 10 "comprehensive" and "in-depth" guides about eip-7702 Not a single one had an example on how to actually build a 7702 transaction The only one I found was in the alloy examples repo. Take a look: github.com/alloy-rs/examp…
Good time as any for my yearly reminder that 550,000 ETH is still locked away forever in original Parity multisig wallets If there's a vulnerability in Gnosis Safe or other smart contract-based wallets, it would be foolish to expect a chain fork
What makes people comfortable storing large $ in Gnosis Safe? What would it take to replicate that in another smart contract that acts as a user wallet?
Cool use of litesvm to simulate SolFi swaps
Nearly 25% of atomic arbs (and 13% of rev) on Solana touch a SolFi pool I was curious how SolFi works. When something is closed source and with no IDL sometimes the best thing to do is to simulate. Over the weekend, my co-founder wrote a simple simulator that fetches all pool…
I created a DATASET of all $libra trades so you can do your own analysis 6 differente AMMs 67 distinct pools 117k unique traders 600k+ trades $1.8B+ volume All in 1 file for your convenience -> You can see who sniped and for how much -> You can do simple PnL calculations in…
Even better, use a Dutch auction. Bonding curves still rely on a party (not the market) trying to 'solve' price discovery at the wrong level—tweaking constants or formulas isn’t the answer. Let the market decide the price, not a fixed curve. *then* switch to an AMM
creating a steeper bonding curve is a way to solve this problem. It should be EV- to snipe every launch or it will continue to happen Doppler-v3 utilizes a programmable bonding curve that controls the steepness of the curve by adjusting 1 parameter
onchain thinking machines (whether they use a TEE or not is an implementation detail) are the only way under-collateralized loans will ever work in crypto an AI agent with a verifiable brain can be perfectly risk-scored, creating trustless, scalable credit systems.
The fundamental flaw with swQoS is that the top validators are NOT the top tx senders. It doesn't even maximize token value. All validators have to do is share block rewards with stakers. Soon, we'll be giving everyone an alternative.
Once again, impressive work by the fuzzland (now: solayer) team. Within 5min of the hacker's implementation contract being deployed, they were able to detect the vulnerability and bridge over funds to initiate a rescue. Building and submitting the rescue txn itself seems to…
We just automatically hacked the hacker and rescued 1.4M USDC! 100% of fund were returned to the project owner > 🧵 Here's how the hacker is whitehat-hacked
Remember Chi gas tokens? The original gas arbitrage. You could mint or buy them when gas was cheap and then use them when gas was expensive. Burning Chi gas tokens in a transaction would refund gas, up to 50% of the total gas usage.
Looked into this. It was not a fat finger, it was self-dealing. Buyer and seller are the same person, both funded by allbridge transactions originating from connected accounts on Solana.
Oh fuck... Someone just sold 5 of their @pudgypenguins for only $175 USD. They must have mistaken 35 USDC for 35 ETH (USD $116,970). That’s a half-million-dollars fumble. Feels bad man.
DeepSeek v3 (sonnet 3.5-level LLM with a $5m training cost) is the kind of innovation you get when you take a hedge fund with 100 gigabrains and incentivize them to build open AI
You should fight the urge to say "we did it first" or "someone already built it" when a competitor launches something. Whatever you think, let them have their day.
My first reaction was "how do they manage all that without a smart-contract platform?" Good explainer
I heard about Hypurr Fun which looks like pumpfun for Hyperliquid Like pumpfun, there's a bonding curve stage and a deployment stage. Instead of Raydium, the tokens launch on the Hyperliquid order book But how does it work without smart contracts to run the bonding curve stage?…
