1/9 Riding the Wave of MEV Opportunities: In 2022, Arbitrage Dominates the Market, Promising Explosive Growth for Savvy Searchers! Let's See How It Happened!
2/9 Our results show that arbitrage opportunities were the most frequent, accounting for 68.3% of the market. Sandwich opportunities are around 30.6%. 
3/9 Opportunities for liquidation are far smaller than the other 2 MEVs, for it was more likely to depend on intense market fluctuation rather than conventional arbitrage ones. But the liquidation, the 1% of total MEVs, gained 11% of the total revenue.

Founded in 2015 by @VitalikButerin, @gavofyork, @IOHK_Charles and others, Ethereum was an experiment in programmable money
Written in a brand new coding language called #solidity, dev’d by Gav, it enabled those smart contracts we all know too well

1) I lived under the regime of the #SEC for 25 years as an investment banker. So what I am about to tell you is nothing new to me. Every member of the securities industry can corroborate and every securities lawyer with integrity can back these statements.
2) DISCLAIMER: Before you proceed, you must know that I am not a #securities lawyer, and this is not legal advice. In addition, these are only my own opinions.
3) The SEC designs rules that makes them "operatively contagious", like a virus. If Im sick and I touch you, you get sick. To understand what this means one first MUST understand the term #Gatekeeper as it is has been commonly used in the regulatory community.

The Verge in a nutshell:
- Replaces the state Merkle tree with a Verkle tree...
- ...which allows for builders to attach Verkle proofs to their blocks...
- ...allowing validators to statelessly verify blocks.

After #TheMerge, most focus on $ETH's potential deflationary impact, or ESG, but very few spot out the issue of MEV after #TheMerge! In this 🧵you will know more about:
1. complete paradigm shift of MEV
2. Why @foldfinance has been rising ~8x within 2 months!
1. complete paradigm shift of MEV
2. Why @foldfinance has been rising ~8x within 2 months!
@foldfinance 1. TL;DR: @foldfinance can generate a higher staking reward to $ETH stakers, due to its upper hand on Ethereum order flow, by generating a greater yield from MEV, which leads to a higher block inclusion rate. This causes more people to stake $ETH there, creating a flywheel effect
@foldfinance 2. Before going into details, let's do MEV 101. MEV stands for Maximal Extractable Value. It means miners, by their capacity to select and sequence txns in the network, profit from re-ordering those on-chain txns in their favour.
1/9 Is it ideal that more than 40% of the blocks created on #Ethereum in the hours following #TheMerge belong to just two staking service providers: Lido (DeFi) and Coinbase (CeFi)? No
Am I worried? No. Here’s why👇
Am I worried? No. Here’s why👇
2/9 First, it makes sense that the largest staking service providers have the advantage early on, particularly in the hours & days following Ethereum’s transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS)...
3/9 After all, most stakers experiencing issues during the transition to PoS will be the individual stakers running their own validators, not the prominent service providers with full-time teams & resources dedicated to staking operations.

#crypto people and companies out today saying #TheMerge solves all the problems with crypto and #web3 as if PoW was the main issue. Which is nonsense. The main issue is this is vision of the future where every interaction becomes a financialized transaction.
The lie that crypto and web3 will somehow take power away from banks and governments and corporations and give it to the people is a lie. Crypto and web3 do none of those things. It removes trust layers and the ability to regulate actors and protect users.

1/ What is The Merge?
The main purpose of the Merge is to transition Ethereum from its current proof-of-work consensus mechanism to the proof-of-stake model.
Simply put, a miner becomes a holder and staker

👉 Consumes too many resources: PoW ⚡
👉 Low scalability, High cost, Congested
POS can help Ethereum reach ~100K TPS

👉Key Insights
Instead of depending on computational power like POW, under POS, validators lock (stake) a certain amount of the network’s native crypto-asset as collateral to create new blocks.
In return, they earn inflationary rewards and transaction fees

With @ethereum heading for #TheMerge, it’s a good time to remember how consensus mechanisms work, especially our very own Proof of Less Work and the benefits it brings to the security of our network.

In classical proof of work, miners use equipment like GPUs, FPGAs or ASICS and energy to solve hashing problems: mining cost is the combination of equipment cost and energy costs.

With the speculation around #TheMerge turning #ether into a #security, it's important to understand:
- what the conditions for ruling sth a 'security' are; and
- what this will mean for miners, DeFi protocols, and DAOs.

Context: #Ethereum is moving from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake system, where ppl need to invest/stake in capital to validate new blocks. Anchored in the Howey Test, professor @AdamLevitin argued that this transition will likely turn ether into a security.
Howey Test validates whether a sales/transaction is considered a security and should fall under its law. Its validator components include:
1. Investment of money
2. In a common enterprise
3. With an expectation of profits
4. Solely from the efforts of the promoter/a third party
