https://github.com/carter2099/hyperliquid There was no Ruby SDK for the HL API so I made one. This was my introduction to Claude Code and it was awesome. I was able to code with an LLM, stay in the terminal, and still learn something new (WebSockets). I also forked an existing ruby web sockets client gem and made it my own: https://github.com/carter2099/ws_lite. Up next I'll use this SDK to create an automated short rebalancer for my concentrated liquidity pool positions.
Ryan, who had worked for seven years at the Ethereum Foundation (EF), Ethereum's de facto governing body, suggested that Ethereum could be on the cusp of an era-defining shift.

MEV exploits the block proposer's ability to reorder, include or omit transactions for financial gain.
When we set out, the plan was to replicate the Fortune 500-our flagship list that ranks the biggest U.S. companies by revenue. It quickly became clear that this would be impractical, since few big players in crypto are public companies, and, of those that are, few break out their crypto-specific revenue.
Success in this space is no longer about being the first to launch. It is about being the most reliable and the most compliant. In the first half of 2025, trading volumes on exchanges reached a staggering $9.36 trillion. That is a lot of liquidity moving around. However, it also means the competition is fierce. To win, you need a platform that does not crash when the market gets wild.
