"It's interesting that some of the ideas behind FTX if properly executed in a decentralized way actually do work - for example you can think of Lighter's LLP public pool as an "internal market maker" but there are fundamental differences. - LLP can only execute its trades on Lighter (which leaves lots of other strategies that involve multiple exchanges e.g. funding rate arbitrage to external MMs and HFTs) - everything that LLP does can be seen on-chain - LLP is explicitly using capital from the community that traders have opted into adding to the pool - LLP is not able to do anything with that"

"It's funny that for some reason people in crypto use the term CLOB to talk about exchanges - CLOB DEX sounds especially like an oxymoron is it central or decentralized or somehow both This term is obsolete even in TradFi I think it was used in the 90s and early 2000s. I did a little bit of research and it seems that the point of the C in CLOB is to differentiate the design from a less transparent model where makers and takers don't have a symmetric view of what's going on. I am not sure that "central" was the best choice of terminology even then but it's interesting that it was out of a push"

If you just want to get an order of magnitude look no farther than LLP - like during the private beta everything that could go into LLP did go into LLP while going forward it will be split between LLP holders and protocol. It's easy to get order of magnitude from LLP returns as many analysts have done already"

"@luigidemeo @chang_defi We do want this. And we already have it with Ethereum as the base layer. To be clear Im not saying that all other L1s are bad. Just that for the problem of building the future of finance Ethereum is the most obvious base layer if you can build a fast and cheap L2 on top"

"Assuming you are asking in good faith and want clarification - the point here is that the hard part of the architecture is ensuring that everything the L2 does is verifiable and sits on top of Ethereum. Lets say that we remove all of that code that we spent [--] months building and just keep the centralized sequencer and the bridge. Then we will have an L1. But clearly thats worse than what we have now and not a win at all. So being an L1 cant be a goal in itself; if anything it has negative correlation with the objectives that should matter. In our view those objectives are: - low costs - low"

"@degenomics @HyperliquidX @Lighter_xyz LLP is down 5% not 8% (the other 3% drop in TVL is from withdrawals). These losses are painful for LLP holders in the short run but because LLP offered liquidity when no other market maker - on Lighter or elsewhere - did it protected a lot of traders' portfolios"

"Lets see if Tom goes all in @vnovakovski I had used hyperliquid a bit but never a ton. Just started on lighter the day after the crash. Sorry I was so slow 😂. Heard some people complaining about lighter during the crash others saying good stuff.
