BREAKING — for me, that is: #web3 finally has a path to mainstream PMF and a reason to exist commercially at scale. The recent AI-driven cyber events illustrate how the centralized internet is fundamentally broken. This is the first time I’ve ever felt like global adoption was possible. Can’t believe it but this might actually happen.

UNI's token jar mechanism is elegant and simple but it leaks a lot of protocol value in the form of MEV.
During yesterday’s volatility, 19.2% of the released fees released never reached the UNI burn. In just 6 hours $320k leaked to builders ($240k) and searchers ($80k).
TLDR:
We built token jar to handle the problem of collecting fees in a million different tokens across a ton of different deployments and needing to convert to just one thing as efficiently as possible: burned uni
Now we’re offering that tech to all of crypto, but it can be converted to whatever you want - a stablecoin in an exchange wallet, your project token in a multi-sig, Uniswap type burn, etc
Integrating is a no brainer if your project collects revenue in multiple tokens
100%, mas claro no se puede decir. Pero eh que viene la ultra derecha…
Para que ocurra un accidente ferroviario como el de Adamuz o el de hoy tienen que alinearse varios puntos de fallo a la vez
en una red bien mantenida, la probabilidad individual de cada fallo es tan baja que la probabilidad conjunta es prácticamente nula
el problema viene cuando dejas que el sistema se degrade en todos sus niveles: poco a poco la probabilidad de cada fallo individual empieza a subir, hasta que la probabilidad conjunta deja de ser despreciable y estás comprando papeletas todos los días hasta que al final te toca
que no nos vengan con la excusa de la "mala suerte" o de "error humano": un sistema crítico se diseña de forma robusta precisamente asumiendo que las piezas se rompen y que los humanos se equivocan, e introduce redundancias para absorber esos errores sin que acaben en tragedia
a cualquiera que haya cogido un tren en España en los últimos años ni lo de Adamuz ni lo de hoy le sorprende lo más mínimo
tenemos a un exministro de Transportes en la cárcel, a la ex-presidenta de ADIF investigada
casualidades, las justas
Aquí hay responsables.

¿Qué necesitan los votantes del @psoe para darse cuenta que estamos ante un Gobierno de criminales, puteros y chorizos?

A ver cuantos chistes hace hoy el simio mononeuronal de @oscar_puente_ sobre trenes
🔴Adif suspende la circulación de la línea de alta velocidad entre Madrid y Andalucía por “un alcance entre dos trenes”. La operadora ferroviaria ha informado de la interrupción en sus redes sociales shorturl.at/AJHBn

Before, 15 steps. Now, 1 click.
$500k position swap in a single transaction, this is what composable DeFi is.
Aave provides the flash liquidity. CoW Protocol powers the execution, and users manage complex positions in one go, without manually unwinding everything step by step. 🐮
The incredible speed of DeFi!
Today, wallet 0xC3B used an Aave flashloan contract to repay a $500k loan with its $LINK collateral in just 1 second.
15 steps, one transaction, no extra capital. Over $500k settled at 08:07:23.
DeFi is wild!

Great episode with @CoWSwap and @VinyasAlex.
We're talking more about CoW because, among the many projects in our portfolio, we're also actively building our own solver with BRRRolver.
This episode covers how @brcapital_fund got involved with CoW and much more.

BR Labs Ep. 12: Solvers and Intents ft. @VinyasAlex: History, Utility, and the Agentic Future
Special episode with Alex Vinyas of @CoWSwap on how CoW started as a @gnosis_ spin-off to solve illiquid markets with batch auctions, why @rezosh BR Capital invested in late 2021, and how solvers already make professionals work for the user, the same pattern agents will use next.
- (01:30) CoW started as a Gnosis spin-off (like Safe) to match illiquid prediction markets via batch auctions and coincidence of wants.
- (04:06) V2 dropped own pools and became a meta-aggregator - solvers compete for the best route instead of the protocol owning liquidity.
- (05:25) Rezo came via @TheLAOOfficial (Gnosis investment), then @brcapital_fund invested directly at the end of 2021.
- (07:31) In a batch, every order settles at one price. Front-running becomes impossible. Professionals work for the user, not against them.
- (08:19) Over $1B in surplus returned to users instead of going to MEV.
- (23:41) CoW has been doing intents long before anyone called it the agentic economy. Agents will use it next.
Check out the full episode:

It fell to Spain to defeat them once and for all and save Europe. Lepanto, 1571. And how did Europe repay it? By creating the Black Legend. Not a trace of France, England, Germany, the Nordic nations, or the Slavs. It had to be Spain.

> For users, actionable steps include:
> checking undocumented implementation details of your wallet
> understanding complex trade-offs
> applying advanced slippage limits
Or you can just use @CoWSwap where professional solvers bear the risk and cost of getting sandwiched.

Me perdonaréis un pellizco de demagogia, pero cada vez que veáis infraestructuras o transporte público decadente, pensad que el dinero que tendría que haber ido a mantenimiento ha ido a pensiones y pagar deuda.

dune.com/queries/8886072/129… shows quote deviation for CoW Swap (Mainnet) in September. Median as well as vol weighted mean is positive for all trade size buckets.
Most "classic" aggregators eat 100% of positive slippage so you never get more than quoted.
