Solo Stakers Guild: The Math & Mechanisms Behind AMMs
Our friends at Uniswap Labs are joining us for the next edition of the Solo Stakers Guild!
Have you ever wondered how Automated Market Makers (AMMs) actually work under the hood?
What do x×y=k, Concentrated Liquidity, and Hooks even mean?
How does malicious MEV occur, and how can we protect ourselves from it?
Supercharge your understanding of this core DeFi building block with friends and level up together.
Who should attend?
Despite the seemingly technical nature, this meetup is open to and suitable for the basic Web3 user.
You are good as long as you know what wallets are and have used some form of DeFi before.
But feel free to join us and learn via osmosis even if you don’t fall neatly within this category!
Format
As with all editions of Solo Stakers Guild, this will be a hands-on session that requires you to crank your brain juice and participate meaningfully.
Walkthrough on how the math works for the x×y=k invariant curve » how to calculate the starting and ending balances of token pairs in a pool + the effective swap price
How does MEV happen in AMMs + how to avoid front-running and sandwich attacks?
Form groups to solve curated problems on the above. Yes, just like what we used to do in school :)
Pre-reading Materials
Stakesaurus and Uniswap Labs will be preparing layman-friendly materials for all participants to pre-read.
Join the Telegram group to make sure you don’t miss it and engage in pre-game discussions with the community!
About the Solo Stakers Guild
The Solo Stakers Guild is the home of Ethereum Solo Staking Enthusiasts.
We believe that Solo Stakers are the power users of the Ethereum ecosystem and have a high propensity to become builders over time.
Curated by the Lido Community Lifeguards, we collaborate with local organisations in each city to run in-person meetups focusing on high-quality programming with a goal of deepening our understanding and participation across the Ethereum ecosystem.
Our mission is to create a fun space for Solo Staking Enthusiasts to explore the world of Web3 beyond the superficial level, grow with friends made along the way, and capture unique opportunities together!
Solo Stakers make Ethereum better!
