By analysing pool data from @graphprotocol, we propose a way to predict expected returns for LP on #UniswapV3. The results show that for most pools the fees do not compensate for the impermanent loss from token volatility. Check our latest paper. https://t.co/fjGZxtroIl

@Hertz I rented a car at Frankfurt Airport in August. Check-in mileage was 11,000 km, but at check-out it was changed to 1,885 km, and I was charged €3,000 for unused km. I filed a claim 2 weeks ago, no reply. Phone lines cut off after 30s.

[DeFI Scientist @DefiScientist]

This retroactive change and silence is unacceptable and dishonest. #CustomerServiceFail It would be great if you could have a look at my reclamation because I have also noticed that other people on the social media are complaining of similar practices at the frankfurt branch.

Understanding the AVS risk/reward is key for restakers and LRTs like @ether_fi, @renzoai, @KelpDAO.

Big thanks to @nethermind for dropping the first deep-dive research, giving insights on maxing out your restaking gains.💪 #Restaking #eigenlayer

Stakers, validator operators, and AVSs!

Nethermind Research, in collaboration with @FourPillarsFP, introduces a framework for evaluating security measures and @eigencloud restaking strategies in shared sequencers.

Inside the report:
🔵 Technical nuances of sequencers like Espresso, Astria, and Aztec Fernet
🟡 An analysis of the cost-profit dynamics in validator corruption and its impact on security
🟠 A review of sequencer attack types, centering on the most threatening ones
🟢 Strategies for optimizing risk-adjusted returns, including slashing mechanisms and dynamic reward models

@arcxmoney Any news about your lending product? Been hearing so many good things about it

[DeFI Scientist @DefiScientist]

@PowerStiering keen to have your thoughts about potential risks of EL. I am currently doing an analysis on the topics and keen to have your thoughts

Stay tuned for more articles covering the #Shanghai upgrade in collaboration!

[DeFI Scientist @DefiScientist]

The Shanghai #ETH upgrade will unlock new opportunities for arbitrageurs and #MEV searchers :

1/ Redeeming liquid staking coins #stETH, #cbETH,#rETH trading at a discount. Buying stETH
at a 20 bps discount and redeeming it 3 days later would bring 23% APR!

[Nethermind @Nethermind]

Our DeFi researchers discuss the upcoming #ShanghaiUpgrade's possible short and long-term impacts on MEV. Full article here 👇

#Ethereum #MEV #withdrawals

[DeFI Scientist @DefiScientist]

4/ L2 adoption is just starting but should soon become important.
More #DeFi integrations eventually means a multiplication of MEV possibilities between the various liquid staking tokens.

@sygnumofficial If you want to collaborate on future articles, do not hesitate to reach to me by DM.

[DeFI Scientist @DefiScientist]

@sygnumofficial @sygnumofficial thank you for that great article. There seems to have a little error on the amount of partial withdrawals allowed. It is 16 per slot so 512 per epoch not 256! https://t.co/hUc5jbLmpK

@truflation leverages #Web3 to provide great #inflation insights.
Particularly love their comparison of UK rates versus US rates 🫢. US inflation has been steadily going down since June but UK inflation looks out of control.

@Chiliz Hi Alex,
National Fan Tokens do not seem to be as popular as club tokens despite World Cup. How do you explain this? Do you think that this is due to lack of utility?
Do you plan to improve the model so national token take off? Thanks again🙏

The SEC is recruiting a trial attorney regarding recent crypto events.👀 The FTX collapse about to move to judicial litigation phase. https://t.co/GedsnFW5wa

[DeFI Scientist @DefiScientist]

@arcxmoney is screwing minority retail investors by taking off their #ARCX token private🤑and repurchasing at a very low price despite being profitable. 😤

They are BLOCKING the token smart contract.

Another flagrant governance issue in crypto !! https://t.co/YPniurxBR2

@Timeless_Fi Waiting for a whitepaper. can you explain how different that is from G-UNI solutions🧐?
