@LayerZero_Core's OTTER proposes a new step in DEX design: an intent-style exchange built on top of a Uniswap-like liquidity pool.
Instead of settling swaps one-by-one in block order, OTTER clears them together as a batch.
🧵
New from the LayerZero research team: Otter, the MEV-resilient AMM.
Front running is a thing of the past.

4/5
Instead of leaving residual value for builders to capture as MEV, OTTER removes it from the batch.
The paper says it could subsidize trader fees, reward OTTER pool LPs, deepen the pool or support the underlying chain and validators—but it does not define a distribution policy.
5/5
OTTER is currently a research proposal.
Its guarantees depend on censorship-resistant transaction inclusion and sufficient block capacity.

The best memecoin strategy: buy in the launch block and then dump
Lido now has $1B+ in pending withdrawals.
Lido estimates ~15 days for withdrawals.
Current Lido validator exits cover just 58% — and take ~8 days to process.
Without a lot more validator exits, the real wait will be much longer.
@OriginProtocol's Lido ARM is helping users exit while generating strong yield for LPs.

I love seeing the merkle proofs of OETH's validator balances and deposits in action on Ethereum mainnet
It's been a good week for the Origin ARMs. They tend to do well when crypto prices are falling.
sol2uml now shows what functions are called on contract dependencies.
The latest release also contains bug fixes and performance improvements.
@claudeai did all the code changes and testing

The $OETH staking upgrade has passed governance and is now deployed.
This marks the start of OETH’s transition to Merkle Proof–based validation: a major step toward fully trustless Ethereum staking.
Validator migration begins this month 🧵 (1/2)
This makes me happy as a smart contract developer.
Thanks @NethermindSec, @sigp_io and @OpenZeppelin for their security audits.
The new staking strategy that uses merkle proofs of beacon chain data is now in the governance pipes.

Hardhat 3 is now in beta, and ready for production use!
Hardhat 3 is a complete overhaul. We introduced Solidity tests, rewrote the performance critical components in Rust, added multichain support across the board, implemented OP Stack simulation, revamped the build system, modernized our TS CLI and plugin system, and a lot more.
