Twinstake has just published our latest research report, Exploring MEV: Distribution, Drivers and Trends. In the past year, the optimization of MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) rewards on Ethereum has been a focal point of extensive research. The community's interest has particularly been engaged in the impact of validator proposal timing optimization and significant advancements in relay infrastructure. Recently, there has been a notable shift towards increasingly compliant MEV practices, driven by institutional needs. Amid these technical and regulatory developments, ecosystem-level factors have influenced MEV rewards, resulting in fluctuations in the MEV APR (Annual Percentage Rate) over the past seven months. This article delves into these evolving dynamics, examining how the economic incentives of MEV for validators have transformed. By analyzing the shifting MEV statistics, we aim to provide a detailed understanding of the inherent stochasticity in MEV rewards and the element of 'luck' involved in this revenue stream.

A very thoughtful primer on CESR swaps from Anaïs Ofranc, founder of QualitaX. In this video, Anais unpacks the CESR methodology and the utility of fixed versus floating swaps. She provides excellent examples of how CESR swaps are being used today for validator risk management and speculation by citing recent announcements from Nonco, FalconX, Twinstake, Parataxis Capital and Multicoin Capital. Hedgers and speculators are two important components of healthy derivatives markets, and CESR derivatives are off to a great start. CESR is the composite ether staking rate from CoinDesk Indices and CoinFund. We hope that this fundamental benchmark will unlock next generation financial products across global markets.

We are thrilled to announce the first official partner with Twinstake, institutional leading staking and digital financial service provider. Check out how this advancement will improve our customer experience.

It's exciting to watch a new institutional crypto rate like #CESR, from CoinFund and CoinDesk Indices, starting to deliver the same utility via fixed vs floating swaps as the $500 trillion traditional interest rate derivative market. Nonco is a market maker and liquidity provider that has been at the forefont of the CESR derivatives market, and they have worked with validators including Twinstake to better manage risk and optimize its business model.

Congratulations to Twinstake and Nonco for trailblazing a new level of sophistication for the institutional staking business model. Benchmarks, like #CESR, enable derivatives. With today's announcement, CESR fixed versus floating swaps power next generation risk management tools and business model enhancements for institutional validators. Institutional staking businesses earn variable revenue based on 1) their performance and 2) overall activity across the ecosystem. CESR swaps allow businesses to receive fixed/pay float which hedges downturns--a key risk management tool for finance teams. But, there's more. CESR improves business models and enhance the client experience by overhauling APY models and delivering enhanced transparency. Institutions demand this. Today, most staking business models are: ❌ "You get what I get and I take 10%" (limited transparency, uncertain return; idiosyncratic risk) With benchmarks, staking providers can deliver incremental transparency to their clients by offering benchmarked APYs: ✅ CESR +/- (floating rate transparency--calculated by a third party) ✅ Fixed APY (fixed rate transparency over a time period) This is one of the important institutional unlocks we've been waiting for...special thanks to CoinDesk Indices for their continued partnership as we blaze new frontiers. https://lnkd.in/dDSUqEqG?
