@potuz_eth @FIFAWorldCup They’ll play 72 (!) games only to end up with the same number of teams they used to started with 🤯🙃

@0xQuintus Super interesting!
The “verticals” at ~$60k and ~$67k are just where the plotting ends, right?

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@0xQuintus very cool pictures!
is the transparent yellow "in the middle" the Uni v3 pool?

Looking forward to presenting our paper "MEV Capture Through Time-Advantaged Arbitrage" (with @robin_ethz, @misilva73, @EdFelten, @convoluted_code) at MARBLE conference next week. Full program of the conference: https://t.co/0KfUlxJUBE The paper studies the value of TimeBoost coming from CEX-DEX arbitrage and (empirically) compares it to FCFS and PGA auctions.

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@stonecoldpat0 Do I understand correctly that you're saying Timeboost is less extractive than PGAs? And if so, why?

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@0x94305 Got it, that makes sense. Thanks! 👍

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@0x94305 Do you think this is a reasonable comparison?
(In absolute terms, LPs end up with the same final position for path-independent AMMs.) (3/3)

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@0x94305 And these profits can be viewed as LP losses, assuming LPs hedge each time an arbitrage trade occurs. However, this approach introduces different hedging strategies when comparing LP profitability between the two scenarios. (2/x)

[Akaki Mamageishvili🇺🇦 @kakia1989]

In a paper: https://t.co/cClHmC7Edp we look into effects of TimeBoost policy on arbitrageurs and MEV.
Co-authors of the paper are: @robin_ethz, Maria Ines Silva, @EdFelten and @convoluted_code.
Check out a research post about the paper here: https://t.co/4uYvzknOh0

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@aklamun @ljfgudgeon Makes sense, thanks!

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@aklamun @ljfgudgeon I see, thanks! What's the motivation behind choosing the price range asymmetrically?

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@robinhanson Why do you have the impression that they do worse than we expect? I don't really have this impression

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@hdevalence It's a key feature of many AMMs, right? It enables passive liquidity provision

[Lioba Heimbach @liobaheimbach]

As we have been reminded recently by the Compound DAO incident, governance attacks are a reality. What attack vectors are exploited most often, and which factors facilitate attacks? This is what we set to find out in our Systemization of Knowledge on Attacks on DAOs. (1/8)

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@o_herminator Very promising team! :)
Looking forward to your findings! Your McAMM ideas have been very influential!

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@ballsyalchemist Super interesting plot! How do you define MEV Value here?

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@0xemperor Very cool work! 😎 Here, builder profits don't include any value they get from including their own transactions, right? @boez95

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@LiamKovatch @Polymarket And this one market/two market choice is separate from the AMM/LOB question. (You could potentially also have two AMMs for YES/USD and NO/USD.)

[Robin Fritsch @robin_ethz]

@LiamKovatch @Polymarket The difference: With one YES vs. NO market (be it AMM or LOB), passive LPs (that don't react) will lose everything, when the result becomes clear.
With two market vs. USD, this will only happen in one of the two markets.
