major narrative violation:

hyperliquid ADL actually INCREASED PnL for the vast majority of shorts last week

many ppl are sour that ADL closed shorts right before prices nuked. but the data reveals that most ADL hit near the price bottom, locking in near-optimal profits

when did ADL happen?

on 2025-10-10, hyperliquid performed ADL 35K times across 20K users and 161 coins

99% of these ADL’s occurred during a 5 minute period starting around 21:16 UTC

~68% of Base chain state has been taken over by a single protocol of questionable utility

thanks to cheap fees + storage mispricing, a tiny number of users have monopolized the majority of network resources

this has implications for every cheap fee blockchain. some thoughts 👇 the chart above visualizes how Base’s state is currently being used. size of each rectangle = how much state is used by each type of contract

the chart was generated using the same methodology as our recent blogpost looking at Ethereum. find it here:

new research from @paradigm: How to Raise the Gas Limit ⛽⛽

lots of people want to raise the gas limit, but so far most of the discourse has lacked detailed quantitative evidence

that ends today. we are making the scientific case for scaling Ethereum using ultra-high-res data check out the full post or keep reading below for the key takeaways

🌋🔥 very exciting breakthrough 🔥🌋

if you are doing rpc data extraction in python, cryo will make your code faster

it can do 10,000+ requests per second in rust and return results as a python dataframe. up to 16x faster than a highly-optimized native python client

details 👇 what is cryo? it’s a rust tool for bulk data extraction from EVM nodes

it can be used to build pipelines that are fast + robust + embracing open data standards

🟩📊🌀excited to announce the launch of the Paradigm Data Portal 🟩📊🌀

TLDR: we are assembling a bunch of public crypto datasets for researchers and tool builders

short thread crypto has a very unique relationship to data
- unprecedented levels of openness and detail 🔎
- trustless consensus on a single global state 🌎
- culture of open-source-first 🗽

but there's a massive problem

wanna look up defi APY's and TVL's from the command line?

let me show you how

1 / 13 ctc is an open source toolkit for collecting and analyzing crypto data from the command line + in python

ctc can display yield + TVL data from multiple data sources including @DefiLlama, @iearnfinance, and more

how I made a cli with 90+ subcommands in python... I recently released ctc 0.3.0, which contains a large suite of cli tools

I want to briefly explain why I implemented it using a custom cli framework instead of reaching for an already-existing cli framework

are you trying to scrape large amounts of data from an EVM RPC node? 🤔🤔

it's a simple task in theory, but in practice it can require a lot of book-keeping, boilerplate, and fault-tolerant infra

allow me to explain how ctc's new RPC client makes this process easy and efficient ctc is a python library for collecting and analyzing EVM data

it implements an RPC client that is specifically designed for data scraping:
1. it is async-first, making it easy to orchestrate many concurrent queries
2. it utilizes JSON-RPC batching to maximize performance

[a thread with many screenshots and examples]

1 / 16 whether you work on smart contracts, frontend products, or data analysis, there **will** come a point where you need to check the outputs of on-chain contract functions

the easiest way to do this is using etherscan's "Read Contracts" tab

**10 ways** that ctc makes it easy to work with ABI's of contracts, functions, and events

ctc is a python+cli toolkit for collecting+analyzing EVM data

it has lots of built in machinery for handling ABI's to make your life easier 1. **ignore ABI's**

the best part about working with ABI's in ctc is that you don't need to work with ABI's at all

to make an eth_call or gather events, you just need the function name or event name

ctc automatically grabs the ABI from your friendly neighborhood block explorer

a guide to collecting historical @chainlink data

complete with screenshots and examples

⛓️⛓️⛓️⛓️⛓️

1 / 16 chainlink data is nice because it provides reliable pricing for many assets, including assets that trade mostly off-chain in CEX's

some chainlink feeds have also existed for years now, so they can provide nicely-sized datasets with block-level temporal resolution
