What happens when a crypto liquidity provider meets MEV Part of the ‘Liquidity issues in crypto’  series, this article breaks down MEV, the JIT liquidity attack on LP fees, and what Aqua changes for crypto liquidity providers.

MEV isn’t only about sandwich attacks.

JIT liquidity lets bots add liquidity right before a large swap, capture the fees, and exit immediately - reducing passive LP earnings.

Aqua changes the structure: strategies belong to individual LPs, preventing external liquidity from capturing those fees.

Ondo RWAs on 1inch hit $2.5 bln in volume Crypto markets may go up and down, but tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are steadily gaining ground on-chain.

Tokenized RWAs on 1inch keep growing.

Since the Ondo integration, trading volume has surpassed $2.5B.

BNB Chain currently leads RWA activity across volume, transactions and users.

The hidden cost of moving crypto liquidity across protocols Part of our  ‘Liquidity issues in crypto’ series, this article looks at what happens when liquidity providers lose efficiency when reallocating liquidity across pools.

Finding a better liquidity pool is easy.

Moving capital there isn’t - gas, approvals, slippage and crystallized outcomes add up.

Aqua’s shared liquidity aims to reduce that friction.

St. Moritz set the tone for crypto. Davos must set the direction.
