you cant ship any of this overnight. it requires thoughtful and tireless work.
re "it's closed source and operated by a single entity"
we've just started onboarding third party node operators! onwards! https://t.co/mhQ4Ajd6XSโฆ
re "some people can send bundles directly to BAM and others not, so you are selecting friends with VIP access."
we're onboarding keys every week based on block engine activity; there isnt a VIP list lol. i understand the onboarding may be slow for some folks, but its early, and we are being careful about how fast we scale it to avoid onboarding spam like the block engine and negatively impacting other areas of the node.
And so far results have been great! since weโve began onboarding DBI keys and applying improvements, BAM leaders are processing less spam and getting higher rewards. Can read more below.
if youre waiting for access, hit me up and ill take a look.
How does BAM schedule transactions? How do BAM nodes sort txs vs bundles? What happens in every auction tick?
Our eng will share highly technical details about all the above and more.
Seats are v limited. tell us why you should get one!

i think over the next few years, crypto takes a back seat, and IMO, this is by design. and it may not sound as optimistic, but it is really bullish if youre creating value.
historically "crypto" is either seen as a sexy, niche, disruptive industry (sexy is an overstatement haha) or a scam. and to a degree it is all of those things at times.
but IMO, crypto is infrastructure -- its p2p networking, globally distributed and decentralized, real-time immutable payments, 24/7 trading, and more. in the end of the day, its boring -- think of the small fraction of ppl using AI, a smaller fraction of that gives a shit about tick sizes, merge rules, and landing latencies.
the best apps like fomo will continue to onboard the masses bc they can just trade anything and pay whoever, without even knowing its crypto, bc the infra takes its backseat, by design.
this may not sound exciting, bc its not. but the tech is legit and can actually deliver competitive prices at global scale.
we've just started to onboard equities and the list of things one can trade is legitimately endless.
the next few years are for apps who introduce price discovery for markets ppl didnt think were possible and for infra providers that support their journey.
create value. value is making a comeback.
naively, I expected more propAMMs would be using Market Tick by now. ~50% of blocks support it
looks like only bisonfi actively uses it for quoting. tessera passes the account in for swaps but it's pools don't seem to have it enabled for quoting yet
Excited to be sharing the stage with @deanmlittle where we'll debate the merits of in-protocol ordering ๐ฆ
