How this site is organised
Section titled “How this site is organised”Every topic page has the same ten sections: a TL;DR, an Explain it simply section (analogy, ELI5, walkthrough, misconceptions), the mechanism and math, a worked numeric example, where it is used on Ethereum and on Solana, risks and real incidents, open problems, an Ethereum-vs-Solana comparison, a Reference doc section that summarises the primary source and tells you how to read it, and the full source list.
Exchange & AMMs
Constant-function math, concentrated liquidity, LVR, batch auctions, order books, hooks.
Lending & stablecoins
Money markets, liquidations, CDPs, delta-neutral dollars, payments.
MEV & market structure
From the Dark Forest to PBS, MEV burn, Jito bundles and based rollups.
Built from Paradigm’s writing and papers, ethresear.ch, and Solana primary sources (Helius, Anza, Jito, protocol docs). Numbers are date-stamped; every claim links to its source.
