Convex mindset be like:

So you say that it's HEALTHY to drink WATER? Well, if you take that idea to its LOGICAL CONCLUSION, you end up essentially advocating for people to put a GARDEN HOSE down their throats and pour WATER in until they're DEAD. So maybe this WATER thing ISN'T SO WISE AFTER ALL.

The true convex optimizers use concave utility functions

Going to give a *sneak peak* about this paper w/ @ksk and others to FC before Twitter!

There's been a surge of interest in intent-based systems like @uniswapX or CoW Swap — their claim has been to help improve the acquisition of off-chain price data on-chain

Ever got an arbitrage from a Frame? Now you can 😛
Here's how it works:
- Flood detects arbitrages and shows them in the frame
- The first to click the button gets the arbitrage to their wallet (on Arbitrum) once the Flood takes it
We hacked it in a few hours, so won't be perfect etc...
