In this bittersweet season finale of Bell Curve Mike and Dan recap key themes from this season. They dive into specific topics like the impact of blocktimes on MEV and innovations in fee market structures. They also hit on rethinking simplistic metrics like TVL for assessing capital efficiency, how execution models like frequent batch auctions can optimize swappers’ experience, and the viability of bringing meaningful on-chain price discovery to compete with centralized exchanges. This leads the duo to the ongoing debate around optimized roles for passive retail liquidity providers in AMMs versus professional market makers, and managing financial inventory across decentralized networks and bridges. To close out Dan discusses Uniswap V4 and what experiences are paramount to get right. Thanks for watching and we'll see you next season!
