"name":"Constant Function Market Making, Social Welfare & MEV",
"description":"We consider the social welfare that can be facilitated by a constant function market maker (CFMM).\r\nWhen there is sufficient liquidity available to the CFMM, it can approximate the optimal social welfare\r\nwhen all users transactions are executed. When one of the agent has the role of proposing the block, and\r\nblockspace is scarce, they can obtain higher expected utility than otherwise identical agents. This gives\r\na lower bound on the maximal extractable value exposed when blockspace is scarce.",
"description":"Signing DApp transactions for EVM chains is a security nightmare, as it's very common for users to blindly approve a signature request while being completely oblivious to what the transaction does. This remains a very popular attack vector, taking advantage of the lack of information available to users while signing transactions.\r\n\r\nIn this talk, we'll develop an understanding of Ethereum calldata, and learn how you can decode it reveal insights about seemingly opaque transactions. I'll also present some of our recent efforts at Brave to bring more safety and transparency to the transaction approval process in Brave Wallet.",
