Episode notes
Using A North Korea Check As A Security Filter
- Teams adopted a quirky practical check: ask contacts to disrespect North Korea to catch DPRK-affiliated actors.
- defipancakes says his team even records voice notes insulting North Korea before squad transactions as an authenticity filter.
Dart Reoptimizes Routes At Execution Time
- Dart is an on-chain dynamic allocator that re-optimizes routes at execution to hit an NBBO across Solana prop AMMs.
- defipancakes says Dart reallocates across venues at execution time to eliminate quote-to-execute slippage.
Prop AMMs Create Quote Staleness And Widening
- Prop AMMs update prices extremely fast causing stale off-chain quotes to become inaccurate at execution.
- defipancakes frames prop MM behavior as a cat-and-mouse to avoid toxic takers, which creates widened quotes that Dart mitigates by reallocating to better makers.
