This entity seemed to have independently perceived the benefits and potential of the Hyperliquid platform an onboarded on their own.
6/ 🕵️♀️ Unraveling the depositing wallets led me to a wallet with a track record of market-making activities - a key player maneuvering substantial liquidity in the crypto markets.
7/ The trace led me across multiple platforms and contracts where the wallets interact with, notably many exchange wallets.
Continuing the lead, we traveled across different routers and bridges ending with the ETH mainnet wallet, which then led us to the head multisig.

I went through the @CALC_Finance's innovative DCA Plus whitepaper so you don't need to.
It employs machine learning for a dynamic Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) approach.
1/14 🧵
2/14 Let's start with why this matters. Crypto markets are known for their volatility, which makes timing the market a difficult task. Traditional DCA helps by spreading out investments over time, thus reducing the risk of buying at the wrong time.
3/14 However, the traditional DCA has its limitations. By investing a fixed amount at regular intervals, you might miss out on buying more when the prices are low, or save some when prices are high.
I've spent some time diving into the @Uniswap v4 whitepaper so you don't have to. 🦄
Here's a breakdown of the major improvements and why they're special.
1/25: 🧵 🦄
2/25:
But first, let's give some context on Uniswap v2 and v3.
Uniswap v2 facilitated ERC-20<>ETH and ERC-20<>ERC-20 transactions using a constant product market maker (CPMM) model. However, it had its limitations such as gas inefficiencies and lack of price range specificity.
3/25: Uniswap v3 introduced concentrated liquidity, which allowed liquidity providers to set a specific price range for their capital allocation. This improved capital efficiency but added complexity and increased gas costs for users.
