Episode notes

I would expect not in general by det developers, because so difficult to read and reason about unless you have really specific knowledge. And there's a much higher barrier to entry with reading assembly than reading solidity. But i think it will be table stakes in this weird future financial system where, like amy, the extraction is hyper efficient and you have professionalized funds doing it. It'll be table stakes that you know how to write assembly and lt get as close to the eliam as possible.

For our latest episode, I sat down with MEV Senpai, one of the top searchers in Ethereum. He gave us the unique inside perspective of someone who finds and captures MEV himself. The result was a long & intense convo, one of the best I've had in a while.

We discussed:

The structure and actors of the MEV game
What is searching, how can you learn it, what edges exist
Intro to private relays and transaction bundles
The role of Flashbots in DEX trading
and, of course, the hot topic of the day: short-term reorgs in Ethereum

Enjoy!

Listen to conversations between Su Zhu, the CEO and CIO of Three Arrows Capital, and Hasu, an experienced crypto researcher and writer. Together with occasional guests, we explore the transformative nature of trust-minimized currency and financial services.
