I just checked the pool of a well-established DEX. The curve parameters have been adjusted, and the slippage has increased by about a notch compared with before. Some people say this is to prevent MEV, but let’s be real—it’s just a matter of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Once you’ve made the changes, figuring everything out together with impermanent loss is even more of a headache. I’m not a math teacher—I just do on-chain health checks—but I’d still recommend that before you make a market, you run a small simulation with a little money. That stuff about AMM curves isn’t “easy money”; it’s a game where you’re taking a wager against traders.

Lately, I’ve been seeing heated arguments in groups about privacy coins and mixer coins, and the compliance boundaries are getting blurry. In truth, it’s the same principle as AMMs: rules are hidden deep within liquidity, and even if you can’t see them, it doesn’t mean they aren’t there. As for my own positions, I still choose pools that have clean audits and transparent lockups—at least that way I can sleep a bit more soundly.
