In this piece I want to discuss solving, and my prediction of the future of what UX/Bridging will look like over the next few years. I think as someone actively engaged in solving for existing bridges, running strategies in this space, and having been talking to many founders working on bridges and intents platforms; I’ll hopefully have an interesting prediction for you, dear reader.

Recently Arbitrum’s DAO passed a vote to determine a feature of the new and upcoming sequencing replacement, named: Timeboost™️. It’s my job by the end of this article to plead for the Arbitrum DAO and team to reconsider their implementation of Timeboost™️, but I likely know this is likely a fool’s errand. There are a few major issues I see, both with the greedy and shortsighted rationale for pushing it through quietly and quickly, as well as the likely catastrophic effects it will have on users in the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Is there anything more cucked than letting someone ELSE sequence YOUR transactions?

Why searchers and solvers are a temporary phenomenon…

The only way to be based is to be sequenced… wait I think I got that backwards…
