Hey man, long time no correspondence . Hope you’ve been well.
Why are Xenophon Labs suddenly experts in market making? Maybe they are, but there’s no public information about it.
Tell me how you really feel . I wouldn’t describe us as experts! But Xenophon Labs has done some research on market-making related stuff in the past; analyzing MM on uniswap, looking at dYdX HFT-related trading efficacy, and thinking through market maker experience w.r.t. MEV on dYdX chain. But honestly we’re not experts, just willing to put in the work to analyze the vaults performance. And at the end of the day the vault performance isn’t that complicated to measure: number go up?.
I don’t have any particular complaints about Vaults at the moment, apart from some transparency issues.
Hmm, it’s all on-chain, so people can take a look at it if they’re interested.
Would you mind sharing the query you used to find the vaults list via API? That would help anyone who’s interested in finding the vaults addresses, and they can then look at the vault performance via https://dydx.trade/portfolio/overview?address=<VAULT_ADDRESS>
.
I don’t have an aggregated dashboard for vault performance, and I don’t intend to make one. However, I still intend to release research on efficacy of vaults, which will obviously have the performance numbers.
