Episode notes

This chapter delves into the benefits of using tokens for project funding over traditional VC investment and transitions into a discussion on Loss Risk Rebalancing (LVR) in Uniswap liquidity pools. It debates the relevance of LVR versus impermanent loss for AMM designers and LPs, discussing the significance of LVR in Ethereum's ecosystem and potential impacts on liquidity. The conversation also explores the future dynamics between AMMs and order book systems in the crypto space, with a focus on Ethereum's design philosophy.

In this episode, the research crew dives into the recent launch of VanEck's meme coin index, the state of consumer crypto adoption, and the controversy surrounding key opinion leader (KOL) investment rounds. The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by AMMs in the form of loss versus rebalancing (LVR), and how this issue compares to impermanent loss. Thanks for tuning in!
