If you look on-chain, Alameda paid back it’s DeFi loans way before it covered anything in CeFi (because they couldn’t say, “trust me bro, don’t liquidate me” to a smart contract) — if you can’t see how this is the future of avoiding calamities, I don’t know what to say

This is a BFD. Now Matcha users can trade any token AND even if their trade is routed 100% through Uniswap or any other single liquidity source, it's still cheaper than going directly to the source. This is the best example of the power of aggregation in DeFi.
