MEV and how it can be mitigated, including some actionable advice on how you can avoid getting sandwich-attacked today
The new features and remaining challenges of Uniswap v3
Paradigm’s thesis for Cosmos and why each blockchain should adopt the IBC protocol
Whether Bitcoin's value proposition is still intact at a time where Bitcoin dominance is at an all-time low
Our personal “wishlists” for Bitcoin improvement proposals, and
whether Bitcoin will ever go to PoS
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.
