Block Proposer Fairness refers to the impartial selection and compensation of participants responsible for adding new blocks to a blockchain. This concept ensures that all eligible network participants have an equal opportunity to propose blocks, preventing undue advantage or centralization. It is a fundamental principle in proof-of-stake systems to maintain network decentralization and security. Achieving this balance helps prevent manipulation and promotes equitable participation.
Context
Achieving Block Proposer Fairness remains a central challenge in blockchain protocol design, particularly with the rise of sophisticated maximal extractable value (MEV) strategies. Current discussions address methods to minimize opportunities for block proposers to unfairly benefit from transaction ordering. Research and development are concentrated on implementing mechanisms that distribute block rewards more equitably among network participants.
A Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant protocol uses zero-knowledge proofs to enforce transaction ordering based on network latency, mitigating sequencer MEV and censorship.
