This talk will discuss mehtods to empirically determine the maximal extractable amount of such CEX-DEX arbitrage value in an attempt to measure the upper bound of this LVR problem to date. The video features Ricky Yudhoyaga from Sorella Labs discussing the hidden costs associated with being a liquidity provider (LP) in cryptocurrency markets, particularly in the context of Uniswap's V2 and V3 pools. He begins by explaining the difference between passive LPs and LPs who trade against informed traders, highlighting that informed traders have market insights that LPs lack, which can lead to LPs incurring losses. Ricky introduces the concept of LP's hidden costs or LVR (Liquidity Provider's Value at Risk) and discusses methods to quantify these costs. He details three approaches: a filtered markout based on historical trades, an implied volatility-based model, and a max LVR method. The filtered markout method calculates the difference between the price at which a trade is executed and the price shortly after, adjusted for volume and whether it's a buy or sell. This method also distinguishes between informed and uninformed trades by looking for signals such as high priority fees. Ricky presents data from an open-source MEV classification tool called Brontis developed by Sorella Labs, which shows that LPs have potentially lost over $200 million since March due to not performing proper delta hedging.

They critique the old proposal that required 1000 ETH of collateral as a sequencer, noting its high barrier to entry, unnecessary risk, inefficiency, and lack of user compensation when things go wrong. The new proposal suggests only requiring one ETH of collateral to cover most pre-confirmations and using additional insurance for any larger requirements. This system would make it easier for smaller operators to participate, reduce risks for operators, and ensure users are compensated for any faults. The discussion also covers how to prevent insurance fraud using secure enclaves like SGX to track and limit insurance capital allocation. Questions from participants address concerns about sybil resistance in a permissionless setting, the potential impacts on base rollups with registry requirements, compensating hack victims from MEV proceeds, and ensuring the security and feasibility of the proposed insurance mechanism. The speaker elaborates on how secure enclaves can prevent over-allocation of insurance funds and maintain trust in the

Clip The video features a speaker discussing the intricacies of precomp builders and the separation of attester and proposer roles within a blockchain network. The talk delves into various design concepts like PBS (Proposer Builder Separation) and APS (Attester-Proposer Separation), explaining their importance in mitigating centralization risks, reducing MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) reward viability, and providing a clean protocol interface. The speaker elaborates on the conceptual differences between proposing and building rights, as well as between beacon proposing and execution proposing. They explore the current MEV Boost system where validators, acting as proposers, seek builders to determine block contents. The talk also covers EPBS (Enshrined Proposal Builder Separation), which involves fair exchange via protocol, allowing proposers to commit to builders within the network. Further discussion points include the potential for different market structures under EPBS, questions about bid cancellations, and the concept of burning MEV to capture value from builder-to-proposer transactions. The speaker also suggests an iterative roadmap towards APS, with steps including creating a logical role for execution proposers separate from beacon proposers, running slot auctions in advance to capture bid value more effectively, and considering alternative designs like execution tickets. The talk concludes by highlighting how

Clip This video discusses a new model for pre-confirmation in cryptocurrency transactions that reduces the required collateral from 1,000 ETH to just 1 ETH. The speaker explains the original rationale for the high collateral amount was to cover the worst-case scenario of maximum extractable value (MEV) in a single block. However, this approach is costly as it requires overpaying for security every time. To improve this, a distinction is made between inclusion pre-confirmations, which guarantee a base fee and are economically beneficial when there's no contention on state, and execution pre-confirmations, which are more complex and relate to trades like Uniswap transactions. The speaker proposes an insurance market model where users pay for coverage based on the actual risk of price movement during transaction confirmation time rather than a flat worst-case fee. This model allows solo validators with minimal collateral to provide pre-confirmations and introduces benefits such as increased access for solo stakers, better risk-reward balance, and stronger user assurance through insurance rather than sheer collateral amount. The video also addresses potential user experience aspects, how wallets could handle these changes, and how trust networks might impact gateway reputations. Additionally, it touches on issues like denial of service attacks on validators, decentralized encrypted mempools to protect user transactions from front

Clip The video presents a detailed analysis of the potential issues surrounding excessive issuance in a cryptocurrency network, specifically focusing on Ethereum. The speaker discusses the implications of the current issuance policy and whether it would be sustainable if it remained unchanged for the next 20 years. The talk delves into the demand for staking versus the supply, explaining how different levels of stake participation affect issuance. Key takeaways include a steep demand curve for low levels of stake participation to ensure minimum security, diminishing value for additional stake, and uncertainty about future staking levels. The discussion then shifts to supply dynamics, where it's noted that the willingness to supply stake is not well-defined and changes over time. A significant part of the talk is dedicated to differentiating between solo stakers and delegated staking, highlighting their respective costs, risks, and benefits. The speaker also emphasizes that solo stakers face more challenges as staking becomes more competitive and economies of scale favor larger centralized entities. Furthermore, the video addresses concerns about protocol security if too much stake is controlled by a single entity and the potential for one liquid staking token to become dominant, effectively replacing raw ETH as the standard currency on Ethereum. This could introduce an unwanted trust layer into what is meant to be a trustless system. In closing, the speaker

Clip The video features a researcher from Primav discussing the concept of pre-confirmation in blockchain transactions, specifically within the context of Ethereum. Pre-confirmation is a mechanism that provides users with a fast guarantee that their transaction will be included in the next block, improving user experience and potentially increasing profit for activities like arbitrage. The researcher explains the roles of two main actors in this system: bidders, who are willing to pay for pre-confirmations, and pre-confirmation providers, who can credibly promise transaction inclusion. Primav has developed MavCommit as an open network where anyone can participate as either role. The talk delves into why block builders might provide pre-confirmations, emphasizing their specialized knowledge and capability to do so quickly and economically. However, since multiple builders compete to build blocks, a pre-confirmation from one does not guarantee inclusion if another builder is selected. The speaker suggests that even probabilistic pre-confirmations can be valuable for certain strategies like cross-chain arbitrage. Primav's solution includes a side chain with fast block times for settlement and a decay mechanism incentivizing timely pre-confirmations. The protocol also emphasizes privacy for bids and commitments through encryption and special cryptographic commitments. In conclusion, MavCommit aims to offer an open network with strong cryptographic guarantees for timely

Many of the greatest artworks began with a sketch. Sharing sketches and other artifacts from the creative process can provide necessary context to an artist’s work and bring value in their own right. See how artists are telling stories of their process across mediums, and how a sketchbook can be your ticket to do the same. The video features Mackenzie Gavenport, co-founder of Ensembl, discussing the platform which allows artists to sell "artifacts" from their creative process, rather than final works. Artifacts can include sketches, drafts, notes, and other materials that contribute to the creation of a song, film, artwork, etc. Mackenzie's background in theater and subsequent interest in Web 3 informed the development of Ensembl. Mackenzie provides examples of artifacts from various artists who have worked with Ensembl and explains how these digital artifacts can be minted as NFTs. The platform has introduced a physical sketchbook embedded with NFC technology to facilitate the digitization and minting process for artists' sketches. The sketchbook aims to bridge the gap between artifact creation and its documentation on the platform. It's simple to use: artists draw in it, tap it with their phone to go to a URL for minting, take a photo of their sketch, and then digitize and mint it. Ensembl is working on features like embedded wallets and artist-owned contracts to improve the experience further. Mackenzie touches on business strategies such as pricing ($34.99 per sketchbook), onboarding more artists through outreach and partnerships with arts organizations, and future plans for expanding into other creative

Conflux - Web3 UX Unconference · Nov 16, 2023

No description The video features a speaker from a well-known crypto wallet discussing the concept of "connection" within Web 3 and the user experience. The speaker emphasizes the need to make connections invisible to users while also ensuring they remain informed, rather than stripping away complexity abruptly. They highlight that current Web 3 practices may have reached a local optimum and question the established pattern of connecting accounts, which can expose users' financial history and assets. The speaker suggests looking for inspiration from Web 2's account model to improve privacy and user experience in Web 3. They propose new models for asset interaction that prioritize user consent and selective disclosure, similar to a file picker system that only shares chosen information with applications. They also discuss potential security concerns with current centralized infrastructure and suggest decentralized alternatives that could offer more privacy. The idea of creating a protocol for conversational site connections is introduced, which would enable more nuanced agreements between users and applications. The speaker invites community participation to tackle these challenges, emphasizing the need for wallets and app developers to collaborate on standards that allow users to express their terms when interacting with digital agents. They end by addressing questions about privacy practices within their own organization and encourage developers to engage with them in rethinking established patterns for a better user experience in Web 3.

Conflux - Web3 UX Unconference · Nov 16, 2023

No description The video features Serge, a Web3 founder and builder, discussing the types of users in the Web3 space. Drawing from his experience transitioning from a SaaS background to Web3, he outlines the challenges of user interaction and feedback in this new domain, where traditional methods like interviews are replaced by digital engagements on platforms like Discord and Twitter. Serge shares his observation that many users are more interested in tokens and financial incentives rather than product features or improvements. He identifies four main user groups in Web3: builders (developers and founders), VCs (venture capitalists), farmers (users motivated by financial gains such as airdrops), and the 'lost' (those who try out Web3 due to marketing or influencers but don't fully engage). Serge discusses how some products have successfully targeted these user groups, such as Blur with its airdrop-based strategy and FriendTag with its focus on financial incentives. He also highlights Reddit's approach to seamlessly integrate Web3 technology for their users without them being fully aware of it, which resulted in limited active trading or interaction. Serge concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding who you are building for and not being swayed solely by feedback from financially motivated users. He suggests that long-term success will come from creating products that offer genuine value beyond financial

Gregory Markou

No description The video features Greg, a co-founder and CPO at Chain Save, discussing the concept of removing network switching in the blockchain space to create a seamless user experience. He emphasizes that developers should not be asking which blockchain to build on, but rather how they can enable users to access everything from a single chain. Greg presents a solution developed during a hackathon that aggregates assets across chains, allowing users to perform transactions without worrying about which chain they are on. This approach uses bridges for transactions and aims to reduce costs and improve user experience. Greg also covers the importance of app developers not having to worry about where their players are located and users not needing to learn new chains. He provides an example with a demo game that utilizes wager matches across different chains without requiring users to switch networks or fragment their funds. The talk further explores the use of session keys and embedded wallets within games to allow transactions on multiple chains without network switching. Greg suggests that multi-chain accessibility could attract a larger user base for apps, making them more inclusive. Lastly, he touches on future developments in multi-chain interactions, including the use of relayers for optimistic transfers and higher-level bridge abstraction protocols that could significantly advance this area. The video concludes with a brief Q&A discussing the challenges of multi-chain UX and potential solutions

What if I told you every account you created on every website you’ve visited in your life might have some money just sitting in it? In Web3, “create a wallet” is the new “create an account.” I’ve done a deep dive into wallets and found design trends that are going to confuse non-Web3-fluent people so much that many will simply abandon them, often before using them even once. And these go far beyond the “store your passphrase on a piece of metal in a fireproof box.” Want to make your wallet work better for new (and current) users? I’ll show you the biggest and most common wallet UX problems and suggest basic changes you can start implementing tomorrow. https://twitter.com/tamaraadlin Tamara Adlin Advisor & Product Coach Blockchange Ventures Join us for an insightful talk by Tamara Adlin, a seasoned professional in the tech industry. With her extensive experience at Amazon and expertise in personas, she brings a unique perspective to the topic of wallet adoption. In this video, Tamara explores how wallets need to evolve to cater to a wider audience. Tamara starts off by addressing non-crypto-headed individuals and emphasizes the contrasting speeds of technological advancements and human development. She delves into the challenges faced by everyday users when it comes to adopting wallets. Throughout the talk, she provides valuable insights on how we can bridge this gap and make wallets more accessible. If you're curious about the future of wallets and want to understand why they need to change for mass adoption, this video is a must-watch.
