The $USDC - $ETH @0xfluid pool lost a staggering 1.2M to 2M during Apr 02–10 to CEX-DEX arbitrage.
Here’s why those losses happened, why Fluid’s proposed fixes will make things worse, and how @angstromxyz fixes this.

To recapture CEX-DEX arbitrage, Angstrom runs an auction each block.
Arbitrageurs bid directly for the right to rebalance the pool fee-free, and the winning bid goes straight to LPs instead of builders/proposers.

Builder payments for the Fluid pool mirror its arbitrage losses almost exactly.
CEX–DEX is so competitive that most MEV flows to block builders/proposers.
If arbitrageurs bid just as competitively on @angstromxyz, LPs would have recaptured essentially all of their losses.
