Episode notes

i'm curious because whenever i hear, you know, mempool and then validator set in the same sentence My mind jumps to mev so with your order book model is that gonna play a role and if so Does the mev flow to dy dx token holders in the revamp tokenomics? So this is still something we're thinking about Uh in pretty early stages to be transparent in the development process right now. I think again building our own blockchain does give us better tools to be able to attack it Then building on a more generalized chain where like the validators really aren't incentivized at all to care about your application.

In this week's episode of 0xResearch, Antonio Juliano (the founder of dYdX) joins us to discuss dYdX's roadmap and upcoming AppChain. The fallout from FTX has shifted the spotlight to decentralized DEXs, and dYdX is in a perfect position to be the go-to DEX for perpetual trading. Antonio explains why dYdX is building an AppChain, what features to expect, how dYdX approaches MEV, new asset on-ramps and more. Antonio is a DeFi legend, you don't want to miss this one!
