How much profits does MEV bots 🤖 really make from CEX-DEX Arbitrage? No one can answer this question before, but we are excited to share a new paper measuring it with formal methods finally! (We got accepted by AFT25' !🥳) I summarized all the alpha in one pic for you 😃

While everybody's always got thoughts on Ethereum, not everyone's as informed about where we're actually headed. So let's change that. We're bringing you an exciting session with our friends at @ProtocolGuild (aka core Ethereum devs + researchers) about the Glamsterdam forks. We've got @trent_vanepps and @arlery to lead the convo with: @barnabemonnot repping reducing block latency (to reduce Ethereum's slot time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds) @soispoke repping FOCIL (to improve censorship resistance) @nero_eth repping delayed execution and block-level access lists @tbenr repping ePBS. decoupling of the consensus block from the execution payload) Which path should the Glamsterdam upgrade take? The technical roadmap determines everything. Join us to learn more about it. Wednesday (tomorrow) @ 2 pm UTC / 10 am EDT

Great work led by @William33203632, setting a standard for our understanding of CEX-DEX arbitrages and how they impact the searcher <> builder market structure on Ethereum 🔥

New paper drop! "Measuring CEX-DEX Extracted Value and Searcher Profitability: The Darkest of the MEV Dark Forest"🌲 (aka League of Legends on Ethereum! 🎮) Coauthors: @sui414 @soispoke @malleshpai Paper: Thread 👇

My tier list for headliners in Ethereum's next network upgrade 'Glamsterdam'. ePBS and FOCIL are a must - both of these EIPs should go live together as they are massive unlocks for Ethereum. We can reduce slot times (EIP-7782) in the upgrade after Glamsterdam.

Decentralization is merely a means to an end The goals of a public blockchain are: - Corruption-resistance - Censorship-resistance - Permissionless access To mitigate MEV, we weakened censorship-resistance That’s why I think FOCIL should be the headliner

The FOCIL spec has been revamped! Enjoy the CL spec here: Huge thanks to @terencechain for specifying the first version, and @JustinTraglia @mkalinin2 @mehdi_aouadi_ @0xUncleBill for valuable feedback!

Glamsterdam is coming and so is FOCIL. Here are FOCIL breakout #15 takeaways 🧵

My uninformed take on Glamsterdam headliners. tldr: cypherpunk/acc Ethereum is at risk of institutional capture in next few years, so make CR and light clients real ASAP. No one will object to faster blocks or 64bit opcodes later. But many won't want to give up juicy orderflow.

So this pretty much represents where I'm sitting on CL features. I'd love to see ePBS + FOCIL in Glamsterdam, I do believe they're complimentary. We'll get a team view out soon, but I was excited to play with forkcast from @wolovim and @nixorokish
