I want to write a quick thread about what JIT is and cover who the absolute king of JIT. Context: I have been doing JIT for a little while now. I am not making any money, I am using it as a way to get good at integrating with Uniswap v3. So what is JIT. JIT stands for Just in Time liquidity, and it is a type of MEV. In this type of MEV, a searcher provides liquidity for one block and removes it, collecting transaction fees along the way.

I have seen a bit of @TornadoCash hate recently. This is ridiculous. There are many reasons other than crime that a person would want privacy. Here is a short list.

You know the deal, java, data structures, algos, computer systems architecture.

A short thread on ERC-998s. I believe that 998s radically improve the power of NFTs. Let's suppose that you wanted to make Clash of Clans on the blockchain. You should definitely implement the village as a 998. The village should be a 998 because everything within the village can be standard 721s or 20s. If you have accumulated a lot of gold while playing the game, this accumulation is easily represented in code with an 998 because the 998 village is allowed to hold ERC20 'gold' tokens
