UI Design process for custom price alerts on RoverX apps
As RoverX gets ready to roll out the custom price alerts feature, we break down how our design and product teams developed and finalized its UI design from scratch. At RoverX, the development of UI design is a collaborative effort between our designers, product managers, and sometimes our front-end devs. Once our designers receive a brief from the PM, they come up with an initial UI and source feedback, then improve it over several iterations until the final design is agreed upon. With the re...

Flashbots MEV-boost explained in 5 mins
In an earlier article, I covered the basics of MEV (Maximal Extractable Value), the most common ways it is extracted, and the (mostly negative) impact it has on the Ethereum network as a whole. The problems caused by MEV are quite serious. The competition between and amongst searchers/validators to extract as much value as possible from transactions leads to:A terrible user experience due to the proliferation of frontrunning attacks and the like.High transaction fees and network overload.A he...

What is MEV and how it endangers Ethereum
Ethereum’s smart contracts enabled the birth of DeFi and forever changed the landscape of retail investing. This naturally has drawn a lot of negative attention from the TradFi sector, with the SEC leading the charge against the highly-valuable blockchain network. But Ethereum’s biggest threat may come from within due to the novel risks posed by MEV. Before I go into what MEV is and how it works, it’ll help to quickly recap how transactions on Ethereum are finalized. When users interact with ...

How EIPs are implemented as ERC token standards
In Ethereum, ERC standards serve as templates for the creation and trade of tokens, and are also used to denote application-level standards and conventions. An ERC, which stands for Ethereum Request for Comment, essentially dictates the rules a smart contract or application in the Ethereum network must follow. For instance, ERC-20 is a token standard which allows for the implementation of a standard API for tokens within smart contracts. Used by ETH, DAI, and numerous other crypto tokens, ERC...

Why TradFi should be worried about CBDCs, not crypto
The world’s governments are not happy with crypto. Seeing as how its permissionless, trustless and decentralized nature is anathema to the highly regulated traditional financial sector, most state authorities have dismissed cryptocurrencies as not being either commodities or currencies, since they have no intrinsic value and aren’t backed by collateral (with the exception of stablecoins). But with the evolution of DeFi (decentralized finance) and the growing mass adoption of crypto the world ...
