The Market Is Rigged - Just Not the Way You Think
Most people think markets are unfair because of insiders or manipulation. That’s not the real problem.

Every trade you make, someone faster is on the other side. They've already won before you hit confirm. You're just paying for it - on every trade, whether you know it or not.

1. The hidden problem of CLOBs
Most exchanges run on a Central Limit Order Book (CLOB): real-time matching, tick-by-tick updates, first-in-first-out. Simple. Efficient. But structurally biased.

Orders are processed sequentially, so the fastest participant always gets priority. Traders with superior infrastructure or proprietary data access can react first and pick-off stale quotes before the rest of the market adjusts. LPs know this and to protect themselves, they widen spreads and quote more cautiously, pricing in the constant risk of adverse selection. As a result, the end user gets a worse price.

The faster you are, the more you extract. Everyone else pays for it.

2. Frequent Batch Auctions on pod
Frequent Batch Auctions (FBAs) eliminate this arms race

Instead of matching orders continuously, FBA's group orders into very short, discrete time windows (50 -200ms) and clear them at a single uniform price. Because everyone in the batch trades on the same price , speed advantages disappear. The batch window is the speed bump itself - except instead artificially slowing down fast participants, it makes speed structurally irrelevant.

A retail trader and a co - located HFT participate on equal terms, removing the constant race for microsecond execution.

This single structural change has meaningful downstream effects:

- Adverse selection disappears
- Spreads tighten
- Price discovery improves
- Manipulation becomes structurally impossible
- Batches are transparent and verifiable

3. What this means in practise
On @poddotnetwork the structural tax of wider spreads, thinner books and adverse selection is removed at the protocol level.
LPs quote tighter because they carry less risk. Traders execute better because the liquidity they access is genuine, stable, and priced fairly. The market functions the way it should.

This isn't just a marginal improvement. FBA's represent a fundamental rethinking of what a fair market looks like - shifting the competitive edge away from latency and toward what should always have mattered: pricing accuracy, capital efficiency, and execution quality for everyone.

People think pod is fast because it’s consensus-less.

Yes - but that’s only part of the story.

Consensus-less makes high performance possible.
The engineering is what actually unlocks it.

To fully utilize pod’s consensusless design, the entire stack had to be built around it:
1. Actor-based concurrency to avoid locks
2. Batching across the pipeline to amortize expensive operations
3. Append-only logs instead of databases in the hot path
4. A hand-tuned UDP networking stack to keep packets moving

Every piece removes a specific bottleneck.
When validators don’t need to wait for global ordering, the system stops being coordination-bound.
But you only realize the benefit if the execution pipeline, storage, and networking are designed for it.

Performance isn’t something you bolt on at the end. It has to be designed all the way down - from the protocol to how packets leave the kernel.

The L2 Block Building space is accelerating (again)! Check out our latest L2 demo day w/ Flashbots, @base, @worldnetwork, and @poddotnetwork where we show lower block times, improved tooling, a modular block building library, p2p flashblocks, and a new censorship resistance gadget!

[Pod Network @poddotnetwork]

🎂 Happy Birthday to us — pod turns 1 today!
Year One: built a consensusless, blockless, super-fast L1.
Year Two: onboard the next billion users to Web3.
LFG!

[shresth @sagrawal]

interesting finding by the flashbots team.

"spam" txs are taking all our throughput gains!

the article outlines two parts to the solution: the first can be solved by TEE, while the second necessitates @poddotnetwork!

to solve the spam problem, we need:
1. open but restricted access to the real-time state and transaction flow = programmable privacy using TEE
2. efficient markets for tx inclusion and ordering = fast auctions on pod

finding the MEV
searchers spam the network trying to find potential MEV opportunities on the L2. With open but restricted access to the state and tx flow, searchers can identify MEV opportunities without simulating trades on-chain. this can be done using TEEs, where searchers can run a specific program in a restricted fashion without leaking private data - aka programmable privacy.

explicit bidding
once a searcher successfully identifies MEV opportunities, they need to get their transaction included. Without additional infrastructure, they would spam the network with increasingly higher tips—leading back to the same problem. this requires an efficient off-chain market where searchers can explicitly compete for inclusion and ordering. the most straightforward solution is a fast auction system where the highest bidder gets their transaction included. this is where pod comes in—pod can be leveraged to build sub-second auctions with strong censorship resistance.

the combination of programmable privacy through TEE and explicit bidding on pod will enable L2s to reach their true throughput potential.
