Fremen Bi-Weekly is a content piece that you’ll be seeing from us, surprise surprise, every 2 weeks. We’ll be updating the community about interesting conversations in the world of DEXs and liquidity provision, as well as sharing what Arrakis has been up to. If you would like to contribute or feel like you have an interesting article or tweet thread we should share here, feel free to drop it into our discord.
So lets begin.
Tweet Threads and Articles We Liked From the Last 2 Weeks:
@nutstasher provides a great and easy to understand explanation of how UniV3 works, with visuals to help you understand.
@AustinAdams10 , @xin_wan, and @NoahZinsmeister have released a research paper going into the details of how TWAPs in POS are theoretically less secure but this all comes with certain caveats.
A short but sweet and fun tweet by @guil_lambert which should make you think about how sideways markets are great for LPing, since prices are in a tight band.
@juan_p2p makes us aware of a new research paper by @AlvaroCartea which takes a detailed look at optimally trading large positions in an asset and executing statistical arbitrages on UniV3.
The Past Two Weeks at Arrakis:
Things have slightly changed here on Planet Arrakis, specifically in regards to the release of V2 and PALM. We have decided to do another external audit prior to release as we believe it is our utmost responsibility to be as secure as possible, due to this the release will be taking a bit longer than initially expected. Also on the security side we have done a ton of research on different price feeds - TWAPs, VWAPs, etc. and have now started building an engine for getting VWAPs from UniswapV3!
We have also put some focus on the PALM minimum viable product frontend which our genesis house partners will have readily available on launch. On the marketing and business development side we have been active and took part in a community call with Alchemix and Across Protocol as well as had a great Twitter Spaces with Connext. We had various calls with treasury managers that showed interest in the V2 infrastructure as well as further explored PALM with various projects.
The biggest release from a user perspective in the last 2 weeks has surely been the deployment of the Optimism vaults that have $OP liquidity mining rewards. These rewards have been distributed by the Uniswap Foundation, the roll-out is done in 3 phases, with phase 1 distributing 16,666.66 $OP tokens across the 3 pools evenly over 2 weeks. Phase 2 and 3 will follow after that, though the token amounts to be distributed are not yet defined.
