Block proposer economics examines the financial incentives and strategic considerations influencing entities that create and propose new blocks on a blockchain. This includes analyzing the rewards obtained from transaction fees, block rewards, and potential profits from ordering transactions. The economic framework seeks to ensure network security and efficiency by aligning proposer self-interest with protocol objectives. It considers how various fee mechanisms and block reward structures shape proposer behavior.
Context
In proof-of-stake blockchains, block proposer economics is a significant area of study, particularly concerning the maximization of miner extractable value (MEV). Debates center on designing fee markets and block construction rules that reduce opportunities for proposers to exploit their position for undue profit. Future protocol upgrades often aim to decentralize block production and mitigate centralized control risks stemming from economic incentives. Regulatory scrutiny also addresses fair market access and manipulation concerns related to block construction.
The Cryptographic Second-Price Auction (C2PA) overcomes TFM impossibility by encrypting user bids, eliminating miner off-chain influence and achieving strategic simplicity.
