"That is just the queue policy with a smaller budget right I am not arguing with you about the budget. I am saying that your "greedy queue allocator" is not how the queue works.

It liquidates based on contracts not entire accounts. Suppose a user with a [--] ETH short gets liquidated and the budget that is being recovered (computed however you want to compute it) is $1500.

"It's great that Ethereum L1 is scaling throughput but I think its scaling roadmap is nowhere near ambitious enough on latency and MEV As long as there's no roadmap to get 6s block times on L1 or replace PBS auctions for block building there's a huge gap for L2s to fill There have recently been some discussions on the ongoing role of L2s in the Ethereum ecosystem especially in the face of two facts: * L2s' progress to stage [--] (and secondarily on interop) has been far slower and more difficult than originally expected * L1 itself is scaling There have recently been some discussions on the"
