New benchmark report for Crystality-REVM — Deterministic State Parallelism now LIVE for REVM users @base, @OPLabsPBC, & @Scroll_ZKP. ⚡️Higher concurrency, near-linear scaling.
Six representative Solidity contracts tested on 1–64 cores, compared against high-performance chains like Sui , Aptos , & Sei.
Full report + test suites: https://t.co/LTASA4iD4d — download and reproduce the benchmarks.
A 🧵👇
@ethlabs_org As someone who’s been asking where external protocol teams fit as EF leans out, seeing Ethlabs as an independent, mission-aligned R&D org with real funding and support is all in all, positive
true and in reality, the most informed traders, arbitrageurs are usually the first to see the price gap between the AMM & the CEX , then capture the spread. LP loss is often arbitrageur profit in practice
That’s why gradual price adjustment (faster and finer price convergence) matters. so that LPs retain more value when the move happens bit by bit, instead of one sudden, large divergence.
okkkay let me explain what happens when you LP in an AMM, bc this question comes up constantly and the answer is less obvious than it looks.
you deposit ETH and USDT 50/50. ETH price drops. here's the key: the pool's math (constant product, x*y=k) keeps rebalancing automatically so the total value stays roughly split, and as ETH gets cheaper, the pool accumulates MORE ETH and less USDT to maintain that balance.
sooooo, when you close your position after ETH dropped, you walk out with:
--> more ETH than you put in
--> less USDT than you put in
--> a position that's heavy in the asset that fell
aaaannnd yessss, if ETH pumps instead, the reverse is true --> the pool sells ETH as it rises, you exit with less ETH and more USDT than you started with.
the gap between what you're holding and what you'd have held by just keeping your original amounts, that's impermanent loss.
the AMM is always buying the dip and selling the rally on your behalf.
the AMM is a market maker.
++ it profits the traders who take the other side, and the LPs collect fees as compensation for providing that service.
the question isn't whether the rebalancing happens, it always happens --> the real question u should be asking is whether the fees you earn outweigh the impermanent loss.
and spoiler alert --> in volatile pairs, often they don't. ywc.

@jessepollak@base sharing my two cents
The real edge of RWA tokenization is
breaking down the old frictions around jurisdiction, ownership, tax residency.
The rest is just fake edge.
We’ve recently been running tests on the latest Reth update with Crystality integrated. Still a lot of tweaks and engineering work ahead, but Reth is already showing major performance gains in our tests.
Congrats to @paradigm@gakonst on RETH
With BAL (EIP-7928) implemented soon, another major unlock is coming into view
