Can we get Ethereum without tradeoffs? Probably not but we’re gonna try. This week we’re joined by MEV searcher and developer 0xprincess to discuss “trustless order flow operations layers,” or how 1-second block times with no protocol changes or L2s can happen today. Later on we get into Wintermute, Flashbots and chain order flow.
