good change. oil trading is hot rn (and so are rwas) so this is a meaningful improvement from Lighter WTI on Lighter tracks oil futures contracts, and those have expires (unlike perps), so you need some kind of rolling method to move from one contract month to the next without

so, the user basically nuked themselves with a massive fill-or-kill swap on an extremely illiquid pair. BUT also several platform-side failures made it way worse: a stale gas cap filtered out better routes, so the order got anchored to a much worse quote, there were no real

fascinating example of what ai-assisted research can already do

cypherpunks are back

interesting, Lighter clearly thinks about market structure all the way down to the oracle layer, and that kinda says a lot about how seriously they’re building the product

💯

so… 2007 scenario?

good security advice, especially for crypto folks in France given the recent spike in robberies (though honestly it applies everywhere)

the end of an era. POAP will move into maintenance mode in a couple of days

a $50M loss on a single simple swap is devastating. at the same time, the system worked as designed, it’s a permissionless environment, and unfortunately user mistakes can happen (bad routing may also have played a role, since I’m seeing quotes from uniswap/defillama show

most people will scroll past this, but it’s actually a big deal the IAC isn’t some random panel, just check the member list, this’s basically a map of the few serious directions left in crypto + modern market infra: Uniswap, Coinbase, Polymarket, Chainlink, Solana, Robinhood,

this is the part a lot of people still underrate about Lighter Lighter is making displayed liquidity more honest. i.e premium makers can update/cancel with 0ms added latency, while takers still face latency, so makers can keep quoting what they think is fair (!) without being

Lighter just made all RWA perps completely free to trade every tier, every market. gold, oil, FX, equities, ETFs, zero fees across the board rwa perps are hot rn, smart move from the team

Lighter just gave every builder, aggregator, and, more important, AI agent, access to its full trading engine, and let them monetize it the new Partner Attribution program lets any third-party build their own frontend on top of Lighter's trading engine and set custom fees, up to

crude oil $CL $108/barrel

this is where ml research is headed (and honestly many other research too). nobody's replacing the thinking part, but the endless cycle of change one thing, wait, check if it worked, repeat, that eats 85% of a researcher's time and an agent can just grind through it while you

interesting initiative by Anthropic

most issues have been fixed in Firefox 148, update

quite a weighted opinion. what if $LIT at $1.1B FDV with $62M annualized fees is actually the most mispriced token in DeFi right now? the trust erosion post-TGE was real, but it happened during one of the roughest macro windows in recent crypto history, high uncertainty, sharp
