Ever wondered where your order actually sits in the @HyperliquidX queue? I built a live L4 orderbook visualizer this weekend so you can see: • Your exact queue position • Other MM quotes updating in real time • Individual order details bad-auth.github.io/l4book_vi…

HL doesn’t expose an L4 endpoint, so you’ll need to run your own: github.com/hyperliquid-dex/o… or use @DwellirOfficial (free trial available)

This paper is simply wrong about its central topic: how Hyperliquid’s ADL works. Tarun is describing a different (much crazier) algorithm, which also might explain how he calculated that traders somehow paid $653m to cover a $23m deficit. 🧵

Did @HyperliquidX autodeleverage (ADL) $650m of PNL that it didn’t have to? Was this 28x more than the minimal necessary? Did almost every exchange (incl. @binance) copy-pasta a Huobi heuristic from 2015? Can we do better in 2026? 𝐘𝐞𝐬 (+ a new paper)

@ventuals Genuine question: What's the point in an oracle price if the funding is 1/500th of the standard funding rates? What are we trading here?

SPACEX hasn't even touched the current oracle price since launch and there's barely any incentive for traders to move it. Are we just trading meme-coins with the names of private companies?

Any frens have experience writing high performant (multi-threaded) rust code? Trying to dig into rayon + tokio and core_affinity but it's kicking my ass. Also having a tough time finding resources to fit my needs 😭

Are there any solid MPC solutions out there that have a similar UX to Safe? I need to distribute signing authority across multiple parties and can’t be restricted to eip-1271 signatures (UX is important)

This was handed out for the press TL;DR seems to be: - Tool was used by criminals - Alexey did not do anything to stop it - Tool has no legitimate non criminal use - accuse him of criminal intent & arrogance - 64 months imprisonment - steal his car & crypto since he is so bad
