You can see here in `swap` the auction winner's fee is set to zero and anyone else is set to `public_fee`: github.com/primitivefinan…

This looks to be almost the exact mechanism we had designed at Primitive. Auction off the right to swap at a discounted fee relative to other traders. github.com/primitivefinan… Unfortunately we never took it to production. At a minimum, I regret that we were not more externally vocal about the design at the time. I'm excited to see if this succeeds in the real world! If it does, it will be a mixture of pride in the mechanism work we did and regret that we didn't pull through on it.

Alongside the UNIfication proposal, Uniswap researchers just dropped a new paper: “The Protocol Fee Discount Auction (PFDA)”. This is a novel mechanism that boosts protocol inflows and makes LPs more profitable. Let’s unpack 🧵

We designed and implemented this at Primitive! Unfortunately it didn't make this into production. We called the right to swap at the discounted fee (0%) a "swap right". Distributing the auction proceeds with concentrated liquidity is one part I'm not sure we got right. We distributed it based on a positions' time in-range during the discounted fee period, similar to swap fee distribution w/ all the tick liquidity accounting.

The "swap right" was the right to swap at a lower fee than other traders for a period of time, so the design was actually more like this paper: x.com/ciamac/status/…

In late 2022 @PrimitiveFi we built a concentrated liquidity AMM that auctioned off swap rights. It accrued auction proceeds to LPs based on how long they were in-range. Check out the prototype: github.com/primitivefinan…

Introducing the auction-managed AMM! A new AMM design that: ⚖️ Reduces LVR ⚙️ Optimizes swap fees 📈 Smooths LP returns 🌊 Should attract higher liquidity than any fixed-fee AMM New paper with @ciamac (@paradigm / @Columbia_Biz) and @aadams @saraareynolds (@Uniswap)

We have to get to a state we trust code (DeFi) more than multisigs. The UX is already on par. We need to level-up smart contract security next. Redundancy is key.

Firewall is an AI agent protecting DeFi. We're taking sequencer level security to another level. The future of crypto is an enshrined security layer that enables billions to deploy liquidity securely. 💦 Safe blockspace is the endgame.

LM! I’ve joined the @CelestineSloth movement. Why? @UseFirewall is building safe blockspace for the modular expansion. Our Safe Sequencer filters out exploits, and makes sure 🦥's can stay lazy and carefree. See my clip with @therollupco, and why the future is speed X security

@Route2FI That blockspace where users get constantly robbed is not the future of finance Safe blockspace will be standard. Crypto-networks today are as unprotected as early internet bandwidth

This is pretty cool, "safe sequencing" as a concept for rollup operators to help create a more secure execution environment. Reminds me of moveVM w/ formal verification embedded. Maybe institutional capital would be more keen to deploy onchain with these types of setups?

@andyyy @UseFirewall From a rollup POV they just run our fork of the default sequencer node! Plug-n-play with the rest of the rollup’s stack We mod the default client to run the firewall EVM for execution (has AI detection + blocking) instead of the vanilla unsafe EVM

One of the amazing properties of L2s is that we can design a system like this that falls back to the full censorship resistance of L1 with a “click of a button” I.e. proof of censorship

Our Safe Sequencer design is essentially this. The Safe Sequencer needs the ability to censor exploits so you grant them extra power then if you detect censorship you can submit a proof to L1 and automatically revoke their extra power.

@sreeramkannan @toly @drakefjustin Light clients detecting censorship would be a powerful primitive for automated soft forks in case of chain capture, huge missing piece

Our Safe Sequencer allows L2s to differentiate their blockspace by making it safer to use, which is what users care about the most.

Instead imagine a sequencer which can only provably censor exploits, and can’t arbitrary censor transactions such that the rollup remains credibly neutral This is what @UseFirewall Safe Sequencer does via the Firewall EVM - uses exploit proofs to filter txns at block construction

Provable exploit detection in the Safe Sequencer stopping exploits - no ability to arbitrarily block users. My favorite application of zkML is proving exploit detection 🧰 🔥

The Safe Sequencer is built to provably only censor exploits in a neutral manner. This system protects a non-malicious user’s rights on a rollup, while still protecting funds
