The CLOB wars are here. And DeFi is about to eat CeFi. The first shots fired came from @HyperliquidX - and they just surpassed $10B in open interest RollApps on BLOBs: @bulletxyz_, @hibachi_xyz Native DA chains: @rise_chain on @Celestia L2 Apps: @GTE_XYZ on @megaeth_labs No more FTX "trust-me-bro" - time to explore what's next ↓

CLOBs are how EVERY major exchange trades - from NYSE to Binance. They're the most capital-efficient way to match buyers & sellers. Direct price discovery. Tight spreads. Advanced order types. Blockchains were too slow & expensive until rollups + @Celestia changed the game.
CLOB Spotlight: @HyperliquidX - 60%+ of all perps DEX volume - 200ms block times - 10K+ TPS capability - Onchain orderbook They didn't just build a DEX - they proved onchain trading can rival CEXs.
CLOB Spotlight: @hibachi_xyz on Celestia - The high-speed privacy-first CLOB using ZK proofs powered by @SuccinctLabs - 3-4ms trading latency - Off-chain orderbooks with on-chain verification via zk proofs
CLOB Spotlight: @GTE_XYZ on @megaeth_labs - Built on MegaETH (100K TPS, 1ms latency target) - FULLY onchain - Unifies entire token lifecycle: launchpad → AMM → spot CLOB → perps
CLOB Spotlight: @bulletxyz_ one of the first Solana L2s - The speed demons: 3.5ms latency in production - Building ultra-high performance rollup on Solana (@aeyakovenko cant stop it) - Solving Solana's priority fee problem for MMs
CLOB Spotlight: @rise_chain - Fastest EVM L2 delivering sub-5ms latency - Targeting 1ms latency (matching TradFi) and 100K TPS
Why are so many building on rollups + external DA like @Celestia? - Low latency - Priority fee wars eat MM profits - Congestion kills reliability
