looks like propAMMs are coming to Ethereum faster than expected
a propAMM is active market making, but it truly disrupts CLOB based market making because it doesn't just update quotes
It is programmable and thus can conditionally behave differently atomically within a swap
A concept that doesn't exist in TradFi CLOBs !
The result is quotes end up tighter than on centralized exchanges
on Solana these have existed for a while and dominate market share on majors
they work on Solana because fee/compute pricing is such that maker price updates land before taker swaps
on Ethereum that is not the case at the protocol level.
however they're now being enabled through Ethereums off chain transaction supply chain, which unlocks "application controlled execution" for these propAMMs
application controlled execution in this context refers to guaranteeing that updates of these propAMMs land before any taker flow
if you need a recap of the transaction supply chain on Ethereum, highly recommend this 1 hour episode with

on the builder side with
@titanbuilderxyz and
@QuasarBuilder , 94% of mev boost powered blocks are now supporting propAMMs
to my knowledge only
@KyberNetwork currently routes through these
nonetheless they already make up ~1% of the last 24h ETH/USD volume and have been rapidly increasing (from a low base), see

Def worth keeping an eye on!
If Ethereum becomes the best execution venue on top of powering the deepest TVL across all major DeFi verticals, the benefits will compound to the Ethereum economy as a whole !
(pic below -> fermi, kipseli and bopamm are propAMMs)
