Episode notes

UXD protocol was at Delta neutral stablecoin on Solana. Proud investors included Alameda, multi coin CMS. They actually had a token unlock on November 14th and the price plummeted from like 1.8 cents to 0.007. The best part about it all is basically the biggest MEV trade on Solana happened on November 17th. And we don't know who it was, but it was clearly one of the seed investors.

In this week's episode of 0xResearch, Youssef Amrani and Sam Hart join us to discuss why Prop 82 was vetoed and what's next for ATOM 2.0. We start with the details of Prop 82, why it was controversial and the potential path forward. Youssef and Sam then break down the Allocator and Scheduler, the impacts of liquid staking, ATOM inflation and expected timelines. This is the go-to podcast for ATOM 2.0 fans/skeptics.
