🦴🦕 The FOCIL EIP is now EIP-7805 🦕🦴

This EIP proposes a committee-based, Fork-choice enforced Inclusion Lists (FOCIL) mechanism to preserve Ethereum’s censorship resistance properties by guaranteeing timely transaction inclusion.

🧩 On multi-proposer gadgets and protocols 🧩

I wrote this small note on the different multi-proposer designs and philosophies behind gadgets like FOCIL🦴 and protocols like BRAID🪢.

tldr: FOCIL can be thought of as gadget, or an add-on to the existing Ethereum protocol. It is focused on leveraging multiple validators to improve the network’s censorship resistance properties, but is minimally interfering with the current block market structure.

BRAID has a much broader scope, as it aims not only to improve CR but also to 'solve' MEV by trying to prevent any one proposer from having a privileged role or special advantage over others. This involves building a protocol from the ground up, with a new consensus mechanism, as well as significant changes to the execution layer (e.g., ordering rule), and market structure.

anyone knows a good co-working space where blockchain researchers/devs/builders usually go to in Lisbon?
Here are the slides of my talk: "Designing against centralizing forces on Ethereum" at MARBLE 2024.

It starts with a rather high-level view on what the protocol does before going deeper into PBS, MEV-boost empirical analyses, models and simulations.

Super excited to release and open source and share MMASim, our MEV-boost simulation framework 🎉

We used an agent-based modelling (MESA) framework in Python to simulate strategic bidders competing to win the right to build blocks 🔨

🚨New post: The price is right: Realigning builder-proposer incentives with predictive MEV-burn

tldr: efficiently burning MEV on a single-slot basis is hard, but here are some thoughts :-)

Making progress on mapping out the Inclusion List design space 🛑

Feels more important than ever after Titan Builder domain suspension last week.
