Today we're joined by Katia Banina, CEO of Bebop, to unpack one of the most misunderstood emerging trading primitives in DeFi: PropAMMs.
We discuss:
- What Bebop does and its evolution
- Why PropAMMs aren’t actually AMMs
- RFQs vs streaming quotes
- The concept of Request for Stream (RFS)
- How PropAMMs work on Ethereum
- Market maker incentives and quote signing
- Toxic flow and execution quality
- Block builders and sidecar quote streams
- Ethereum vs Solana PropAMM designs
- Oracle updates and onchain execution
- RFQ vs PropAMM tradeoffs
- Adoption across aggregators
- The future of onchain market structure
And much more—enjoy!
