Clankers

terrific thread explaining how multiple bots are able to snipe every single new clanker launch while it’s being deployed. 

it’s been getting worse and users have been getting rekt. 

good news is, it sounds like an easy fix @proxystudio.eth @dish 

h/t @gramajo.eth for the find

great breakdown of how Clanker MEV works right now:

Base hit a new all time high of 131 TPS, though it is driven by a rise in reverted transactions related to memecoins

25% of gas and 53% of transactions were from reverted transactions

How long until Base integrates in Flashbots' rollup-boost to offer revert protection? https://t.co/25P1tQptqE

1/ So, I think the surge in Base reverts is entirely driven by sniper bots. And the problem is being made much much worse by a peculiar approach Clanker takes towards seeding liquidity. 

A simple change in their deployment approach would fix the problem immediately.

I'm eth newbie..just learning
(working on @farcaster)

terminally.online

small correction: we do not burn the Uniswap v3 position, as doug states

it is custodied in a locker

updated erc20 and locker factory's have been deployed, and we will share full documentation on them prior to resurrecting clanker. should make building on clanker & analyzing this activity easier 

mev is real, farcaster is a dark forest too

what's the reason to escrow rather than burn?
