A place for talking about DeFi and ZK research papers — some academic, some less academic, but all involving math

i mean how do you even separate an ass from its head? is the base layer just a well-formed ass? can devs do the KneesOverToesGuy moves? I've been working on knee, shin and back ability 0 for two weeks and have not felt this better for ages.
It's crazy how often people ignore the init code hash when they are playing around deploying v2.
There are so many tokens locked up just because router can't compute the right pool address on removal.
Designing a liquidation engine for a perps is interesting. If in the next block you have 20 orders that can be liquidated each of varying size (normally distributed), whats safer:

1. liquidate a bit from each account, all 20 orders get a bit healthier

2. only liquidate the biggest order fully

now and then i think about how people took over the ENCORE from the dev because the dev was 14 at the time yet noone took over RARI protocol from the devs they were doing OK.

wen DEGEN "tips lending" markets on a Pendle fork on Base?
I wrote on the unruggable infinite liquidity engine of baseline markets, and the $YES money. Well, it's not a "research" but a better post than some one liners.
been thinking about this whilst watching Vitalik's MEV Market talk online though my question here is utterly unrelated in its gist.
Wondering about how to think about LRTs? @mikeneuder.eth and I spent some time looking into this and coming up with a simple set of "key risks" (one might even say... Eigenrisks, lol) for LRTs

Who do you think the person in the pfp for this channel is?
P.S. If you liked this, please follow my co-authors @ksk and @malleshpai (Theo isn't here yet)
Going to give a *sneak peak* about this paper w/ @ksk and others to FC before Twitter!

There's been a surge of interest in intent-based systems like @uniswapX or CoW Swap — their claim has been to help improve the acquisition of off-chain price data on-chain

But do they work?
Paper deadlines, Paper deadlines...
