Credible neutrality describes a system or protocol designed to operate without bias towards any specific participant or outcome, making it trustworthy and fair for all users. Such a system is structured to be impartial and resistant to manipulation by powerful entities, ensuring equitable access and predictable operation. Its neutrality is verifiable through transparent rules and open-source implementation. This attribute is a cornerstone for decentralized and permissionless technologies.
Context
The concept of credible neutrality is a central tenet in the design and evaluation of blockchain protocols and decentralized applications, especially concerning governance mechanisms and transaction ordering. Debates often focus on whether a given protocol truly achieves this ideal, or if certain design choices or power distributions introduce subtle biases. Future advancements aim to enhance the verifiability and robustness of neutrality through cryptographic proofs and decentralized governance models that minimize human discretion.
The introduction of a two-stage commit-reveal protocol for block construction cryptographically enforces builder neutrality, eliminating the proposer's censorship vector.
