🌟 Happy to share my latest research on accessing historical data on onchain!
Now, a smart contract can confirm that at a certain past block N, the outcome of a call to smart contract X was Y.

Excited to share our latest DeFi primitive: Declarative Liquidity Management (aka Mellow v2)!
After extensive design work across various research areas at @mellowprotocol, it's all come together. Dive into the whitepaper here: 🔗 alexeuler.dev/declarative-li…

Another bad day for @ethereum security. There needs to be a guide / framework / core features to mitigate these problems for dapp builders. Imagine you’re using Mac is vulnerable to emptying your bank accounts… How much traction would you expect?
Balancer has received a critical vulnerability report affecting a number of V2 Pools.
Emergency mitigation procedures have been executed to secure a majority of TVL, but some funds remain at risk.
Users are advised to withdraw affected LPs immediately.

It's wonderful to see that several remarkable DeFi concepts are now making their way towards implementation! 😄
medium.com/@alexeuler/toward…
1/ Today, we’re announcing our vision for Uniswap v4 🦄
We see Uniswap as core financial infrastructure & think it should be built in public with space for community feedback and contribution.
An early implementation of the code can be found here:

Hypothetically, if the stETH got hacked will ETH make a hardfork with rollback ETH classic style?
If so, that makes stETH super safe asset

Solidity has still a lot of optimizations to catch up
Did you know that Solidity is not that efficient at reading to & writing from packed structs? 😬
With just a few lines of code, you can manually pack values and save ~200-300 gas per struct change. 💸
Let's dive in, looking at the following code as our base example👇

Can’t oracles be manipulated almost free to any extent after the POS update? At least in some cases.
Manipulation of price oracles can have severe consequences for DeFi protocols, including exploits and financial losses.
We're excited to announce the launch of @chaoslabs Uniswap v3 TWAP Oracle Risk Portal, which quantifies real-time pool manipulation risk.

I came across this thread that I had bookmarked a couple of days ago and finally got around to reading it.
Unsurprisingly, it presents a well-thought-out perspective on DeFi security, which aligns closely with my own views on the subject.
DeFi is broken.
Last year, we had $3.8b was stolen via exploits, a frequency and severity far too high for mainstream adoption.
We need to fundamentally rethink how DeFi protocols are designed and secured.
Here's one place to start:

Good read. Unlike engines with cruise control though, it seems like central banks needs to change the speed itself manually. So it still relies on human control.

RIP @delete_shitcoin
To understand why we stand at the precipice of a central banking revolution, let us tell you story...

The standard method of calculating UniV3 APR is broken.
Explore this article medium.com/@alexeuler/naviga… and use this tool alexeuler.dev/uniearn for a competitive edge in:
1. Identifying the best Uniswap pools
2. Accurately calculating APR
3. Effectively measuring pool risks

Good point but on this scale if we don’t see mass adoption and companies hunting for customers, there’s definitely a reason for that. Once that problem is solved, expect mass user inflow to DeFi.
DeFi projects would be wildly more successful if they invested in customer acquisition like their centralized counterparts.
By way of example, @Stake :
- Generated $2.6B in 2022
- Sponsored @Drake and the @ufc
- Launched a @Twitch competitor (@kick) after it banned Stake streaming
How can DeFi do better at customer acquisition/retention?

Recently the whole chain just hanged for 1 hour. This proves no such thing as risk-free exist.

Top 9 audits firms still leave open exploits. That means that even if you pour $1mln into securing your contracts, it's only a matter of time before your users will get rekt.
How can DeFi evolve in this madness?
9 audits from top firms, yet all audits were able to find new bugs.
This proves that no audit guarantees 100% security.
Audits are super important and helpful, but everyone, please stop using them as certification.

AI shillers be like:
Here's the new AI tool that will take your productivity to the next level:
Input:
A simple Python program greeting whoever runs the program with python main.py. Make sure the program is short and the message is to the point. Also, the message must be standard like those in hello worlds programs. Make sure there’s a line break at the end of the message. Do not use single quotes, use double quotes. Do not forget to use an exclamation point at the end of the greeting.
Output:
def main():
print(“Hello, world!”)
