If you liked Salmonella you're gonna love this Last night someone used an *extremely* clever mechanism to take a hundred ETH from sandwich bots Then a 2nd person jumped in and made 300 MORE ETH by exploiting other sandwich bots Long thread on how 👇🏻

Alright everybody, join me as I relay a heist that took place across blocks yesterday and unveil a novel form of MEV. Again it will be a long and semi-technical journey but I think it is worth it.

An Ethereum Uncle Bandit strikes again, this time for 145 ETH However this time the bandit left a trail to their identity, and you'll learn who it is in this MEV story 🧵👇🏻 h/t Alchemy for the artwork

Even vitalik.eth can't escape the monsters of the dark forest Twitter wasn't the only party watching Vitalik's wallet. As always bots were ready to extract what value they could from his pending transactions. Brief recap of those bots and what Vitalik did

Found a clever honey pot contract At a glance it looks vulnerable: an admin provides a string that is used as a key. Anyone that calls a function w/ 1 ETH and the string takes away 30 ETH. So just find the admin's transaction and copy the string, right? etherscan.io/address/0xb58c…

A thread of all my MEV related threads in chronologic order 👇🏻

It is a small coup that fairness is so associated with "fair ordering" / time based ordering There is no single notion of "fair." These protocols privilege a different set of actors and MEV extraction is a different "game" to play on them Disclaimer: personal views

One reason why it makes sense to study the broadest definition of MEV - and NOT only frontrunning - is these ~$100m/yr worth of arbs might contribute to economic centralization over time if they aren’t available to all validators.

Curious about the proposed changes to our transaction ordering policy? Read on as our co-founder Ed Felten walks us through a modified version of the first-come, first-served (FCFS) sequencing model, outlining the why, and the rationale behind it! 🚀 offchain.medium.com/time-boost-a-n…

In my new article, I switch sides for a change🫡 This is Part I of an III-part series exploring the myths and misconceptions surrounding rollups mirror.xyz/toghrulmaharra…

It’s really really good article

I think this is really importantly thing

Motivated by smartcontracts.eth (✨🔴_🔴✨) ETHGlobal talk, I’ve put together a rollup deconstruction to try and get to the heart of this question: - Should we define a rollup through the lens of a validating bridge or a community? Find out for yourself 🙋🏻‍♀️ stonecoldpat.substack.com/p/deconstructi…

Layer 0 is social consensus. Why? Because every blockchain relies on off-chain social consensus to agree on: 1. The state transition function 2. The fork choice rule How does this relate to sovereign rollups? 🧵
