Citadel Securities published this graph showing a strange phenomenon.
Job postings for software engineers are actually seeing a massive spike.
Classic example of the Jevons paradox. When AI makes coding cheaper, companies actually may need a lot more software engineers, not fewer.
When software is cheaper to build, companies naturally want to build a lot more of it. Businesses are now putting software into industries and tools where it was simply too expensive before.

the MEV landscape is like a 100m sprint - a race to the finish with little room for collaboration.
searchers rush to spot opportunities. builders scramble to package them. fast. fragmented, (often) futile.
our partner @0xFastLane has flipped that model.

Weโre excited to announce ๐๐ถ๐น๐ป ๐ฉ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐, our initiative to back and partner with the next generation of onchain builders.
As a trusted platform in digital asset infrastructure and builders ourselves, weโre bringing more than just capital:
๐งโ๐งย ๐๐
๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ด๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ from our world-class engineering team
๐ย ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ง๐ through our extensive institutional and investor networks
๐คย ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ focused on staking, Ethereum, Solana, new Layer-1s, DeFi & stablecoins, restaking, and more
Weโre already partnering with amazing teams like @reown_ , @cedelabs, @raikucom, @0xFastLane, @pyefinance and @DexariDotCom, and now we want to hear from you!
If youโre building innovative onchain products, letโs explore how Kiln Ventures can help.

Why Monad?
Well, for @perpltrade, there is no better place to launch

2025 will be the year of the Oracle Wars.
The entire oracles vertical is misled by the false narrative that one blue giant controls the entire industry.
The market will reveal the truth. Monopolies can't and won't thrive in crypto.

Had an absolute blast yapping on the bell curve podcast with Mike.
Amazing podcast host. Very spicy episode.
New Bell Curve with @ThogardPvP is LIVE.
In this episode we discuss:
- Different approaches to MEV
- App Specific Sequencing
- EVM vs SVM
- The bull case for Monad
- Ethereum vs Solana alignment
- Rollup centric roadmap
Alex is one of the most unique thinkers in crypto, this episode was a blast.
Links in first comment, hope you all enjoy ๐ซก

@0xFastLane We are thrilled to announce the launch of PFL powered by the Atlas protocol.
This is a significant milestone as MEV-X becomes the first project to be launched on this innovative platform!

I had an amazing time on the gwart show. Itโs one of my favorite podcasts for a reason - tastefully not-quite-aligned.
Amazing host, great conversation, and spicy subjects ๐ถ๏ธ
Sequencing and Layers With Thogard
Welcome back to the Gwart Show! Today we are joined by Alex Watts, CEO and co-founder of @0xFastLane. They discuss MEV, Ethereum's challenges, and UX. He explores the tensions between DeFi and traditional finance, the potential risks of stablecoins, and the need for crypto to focus on real-world outcomes beyond just decentralization.

OH: โOk so I know you joined FastLane as an engineer to work on cutting edge MEV solutions in high throughput environments, but how good are you at drawing butts?โ

This is guaranteed to be a very high level, sophisticated conversation between learned gentlemen.
Come join!

Frontend specific sequencing is a subset of app specific sequencing that doesnโt affect composability of the app. Atlas can do it all
For atomic arbitrage, apps can use ASS to capture MEV without upgrading their smart contract and still maintain atomic, bidirectional composability.
The MEV is controlled by the app used by the user that created the arbitrage.
It looks like this: ๐

The NYC monad madness was a ton of fun to participate in, even for infra projects like FastLane that didnโt compete.
Donโt miss out on this if youโre in dev con. The FastLane team will be there again - come say hi if you want to talk about Monad MEV ๐
The second Monad Madness will be held in Bangkok, coincident with Devcon ๐น๐ญ
Our original vision was to have the second instance in Seoul in December. After the success of Madness NYC (500 attendees across 3 days; 1000+ viewers on livestream) and the level of venture interest in participating teams, it became clear that it made the most sense to bring Madness to the biggest stage possible.
Applications are open until October 25. Link in the next tweet.

If youโre interested in becoming a solver on @0xFastLane โs new RFQ, please message me so I can just not add you to our white list because there isnโt one, and then I wonโt send you the api endpoints because there arenโt any.
Itโs simultaneously the worldโs first fully permissionless RFQ and the worldโs first fully decentralized RFQ. Itโs also the fastest RFQ outside of TradFi. It also has the best execution outcomes for users.
While most apps took the easy path of relying on centralized infra and permissioned solvers, we opted in to hard mode because we actually care about decentralization and users. When it goes live tomorrow weโll be taking the biggest step back towards decentralization that a major EVM app has taken in years.
It took me two days to build this using @atlasevm
Many of you have a lot of catching up to do, but I promise itโs worth it. If I can do this in two days, I canโt wait to see what all of you amazing builders can do with Atlas for app-specific sequencing. The future is now, and for the first time in a long time, decentralization is back on the menu. Letโs fucking go ๐

Unaligned Day is tomorrow. Let the roasts begin ๐ฅ
At the end of each presentation will be a free-form panel to debate the subject and its counterpoints. Panels wonโt be recorded, so be sure to attend in person!
