NEAR Confidential Intents TVL climbs past $26M. Confidential intents is extending the private execution layer to 35 supported chains across swaps, transfers, and more. Almost half of the volume on NEAR's main venue is now routing through private intents. The Intents stack is becoming one liquidity layer for everything.

Felix @felixprotocol and now @ventuals winding down HIP-3 deploying operations Co-deployments seem like the main route new teams have been picking to deploy onto HyperCore - @Perpsdotfun under @Kinetiq_xyz and a couple more on the way in the next few weeks
Launch perps. Own the fees. We're partnering with @Kinetiq_xyz to bring the first HIP-3 launchpad to life! Perps.fun will list directly on Kinetiq's @Markets_xyz exchange, becoming the exclusive Co-Deployer. More details below.

1/ This is the full story of how I found a JupiterZ RFQ vulnerability, extracted ~$45k in a controlled white-hat test, returned the funds, and worked with the teams involved to get the issue fixed and safely back in production. The One-Byte Heist 🧵

Today, on SpaceX IPO day, is a great time to mention that @SuperstateInc is launching a new podcast, The Pop, all about how IPOs work under the hood: the bankers, the plumbing, the trading, and the madness. First episode just dropped, check it out! superstate.com/pop-podcast

Prop AMMs are changing DeFi on Ethereum. From @titanbuilderxyz documentation: "A Proprietary AMM (PropAMM [pAMM]) is an onchain pool in which prices are continuously updated by a market maker. Instead of relying on a passive inventory curve, makers stream signed quote updates to the builder ensuring prices are updated in real-time" The innovation started on Solana last year and is beginning to take off on Ethereum main-net. See the dashboard [pamm.wtf] for details. As such I decided to record a few episodes with a group of builders who are building products and thinking about this new primitive. The goal of this series of episodes is to unpack propAMMs on Ethereum from different perspectives. In this first episode @katiabanina brings a concrete perspective rooted in product design and market needs. We ground the conversation by understanding AMMs, RFQ (request for quote) and RFS (request for stream) systems from the perspective of an operator , market maker, passive LP, and block builder. Throughout, Katia shares her perspectives on DeFi and the future of finance onchain. Future episodes will present additional nuanced perspectives on propAMMs and how they impact the transaction supply chain in detail.

It already happened, propAMMs won, you just didn't notice 🤓☝️ In this episode of Deeply Intents (🎤,🎧), I chat with @katiabanina from @bebop_dex 🎺🎹🎷🎶🎵🎶. We discuss propAMMs on Ethereum, how they compare to RFQ systems, and pushing the limits of DeFi innovation with BopAMM (Block Oracle Priced AMM). In particular we discuss: - RFQ & RFS - the role of market makers - price discovery & execution quality - block building with pAMMs - BopAMM use cases - the future of DeFi Timestamps: 0:00 - Cat stories 2:19 - BopAMM 6:28 - Request for stream (RFS) 9:41 - RFQ & RFS both have their place 10:53 - Block building and pAMMs 15:47 - Prop AMMs on Ethereum 18:20 - Integrating market makers 23:28 - BopAMM solves the last mile problem 25:00 - Providing passive liquidity is irrational 26:50 - AMMs, Price discovery & Execution quality 30:32 - Block building with pAMMs 33:45 - The oracle update & use cases 40:44 - Performance improvements and optimizations 43:05 - L2s in the future, focused on Ethereum 44:53 - Thinking about security 50:14 - Building with AI 54:18 - The future of DeFi is finance 55:10 - The innovation is blockchain 57:08 - RFQ innovation in the pipeline

really good breakdown of building and scaling a prediction market market maker from scratch. most threads talk about the strategy. this one talks about everything that breaks during testing: stale quotes, websocket desyncs, partial fills, reconciliation, adverse selection, ... also a nice reminder that liquidity compounds. the whole strategy depended on being able to hedge against a deeper, more liquid market nowadays anyone can spin up a bot from their laptop and learn the same market structure lessons that used to require a seat at a prop shop

To go with Kryptos, we launched a challenge with ten brand-new Kryptos-like puzzles. The first solver of each puzzle gets a $1,000 prize. paradigm.xyz/kryptos-ctf
We love puzzles, so we acquired the secret to one of the most notorious puzzles in cryptographic history. Kryptos is a sculpture at CIA headquarters with an encrypted message on it. The final 97 characters of it have never been solved. Here's what we're doing with the solution.

Market makers on Kalshi lost $22 million on the Knicks vs Spurs Game 4 moneyline
Jun 11
Susquehanna International Group’s prediction market desk took its biggest sports loss making markets during the Knicks’ Game 4 NBA Finals comeback Wednesday, while Kalshi reported a record day for volume. Susquehanna’s losses, a source familiar with the situation says, were almost entirely on the game-winner market.

WBTC propAMM just dropped Very different curve than the previous graph! Showed against uni 5bp (green) and 30 bp (orange) Also added a zoomed in version so you can see the price movements. Notice how much more adjustment there is for the prop vs 5 bp pool
Here you can see the same propAMM vs Univ3 5 bps. For small trades the propAMM is tighter, but then widens out for bigger trades This behaviour makes sense while the systems are new and makers are feeling it out. Quoting wide for big trades is a good way to minimise exposure to toxic flow integrate now and ride the wave of tightening spreads on ethereum (link below)

they walked it back 48h after throttling the feeds, HL already softened it from builder feedback: webData2 stays at 5s one more upgrade l2Book default drops to 2s new fastAssetCtxs endpoint keeps the old 5s mark price behavior infra is fast. team's faster.
Free speed is over 🚫⚡️ Hyperliquid’s next upgrade tightens public websocket feeds: allMids every 5s, asset ctxs every 15s, normal l2Book 20 levels every 5s If you want fast books, you now use l2Book fast:true for 5 levels every 0.5s, then merge that with the deeper book yourself. That is not “bad API design” That is what happens when the chain gets real volume and free public infra stops being the product @hydromancerxyz is already positioning around per-block feeds, I get why If you can't afford your own node, use one of the available api providers in the space For hip4, this is exactly why I’ve been node-primary from the start If your app makes markets feel stale, users don’t blame the websocket They blame you
