What You'll Learn:
- How MEV and arbitrage currently extract hundreds of millions in value from liquidity providers
- Why traditional AMMs are vulnerable to price staleness and toxic flow
- The mechanics behind Angstrom's innovative batch auction system for preventing arbitrage losses
- How Angstrom's dual-order system separates arbitrageurs from regular traders
- Why centralized exchanges remain the primary venue for price discovery
- The potential for app-specific sequencing rules to revolutionize DeFi protocols
- How Sorella plans to expand beyond Ethereum to create a unified, cross-chain liquidity layer
- The future of sophisticated liquidity provision strategies for maximizing returns in DeFi
Ludwig is the Co-founder and CEO of Sorella, a DeFi protocol company backed by Paradigm that's revolutionizing automated market makers (AMMs) through their flagship product Angstrom. With deep expertise in MEV, arbitrage, and DeFi protocol design, Ludwig is pioneering solutions to address the estimated $850 million in value lost from liquidity providers due to toxic flow and arbitrage. His innovative approach focuses on fixing AMM mechanisms at the application layer rather than the protocol level, introducing a novel auction system that redirects arbitrage value back to liquidity providers. Through Angstrom's integration with Uniswap v4, Ludwig and his team are set to launch a groundbreaking solution that promises to make DEX liquidity provision sustainably profitable while maintaining decentralization principles.
