The document explains how Uniswap v3’s range-based liquidity positions can be arranged to approximate the liquidity behavior of other two-asset automated market makers. It represents an AMM’s local liquidity across logarithmic price ticks as a curve, calling…

The document introduces Foundry as a toolkit for Ethereum application development, with an emphasis on testing Solidity contracts. It describes writing tests in Solidity, using randomized inputs to fuzz functions, and shrinking failures to small…
The article argues that miners are economically better off accepting EIP-1559 than trying to block it or split away from Ethereum. It outlines miner revenue from block subsidies, transaction fees, and miner-extractable value, and explains that mining…
This report argues that Bitcoin mining can act as flexible electricity demand rather than simply competing with household and industrial use. It explains miners’ incentive to run when power is cheap and to reduce activity when prices rise, and describes how…

This advocacy article previews congressional hearings on whether banks and regulators restricted banking access for crypto businesses and their founders. It describes operational consequences such as losing payment rails, institutional financing, and…
The document proposes a layered approach to reducing illicit finance and related threats in crypto, arguing that varied and fast-moving systems need multiple defenses rather than a single control. It groups the proposed measures into risk assessment and…
This document outlines Paradigm’s argument in support of James Harper’s challenge to an IRS summons seeking records about a large group of cryptocurrency users. It says the summons functioned as a broad information-gathering effort rather than a targeted…
