Execution Payload Rights

Definition

Execution payload rights grant permission to construct and propose the content of a blockchain block’s transaction list. These rights typically belong to a block builder or proposer in proof-of-stake systems, allowing them to select and order transactions for inclusion in a new block. The holder of these rights can optimize the block’s content to maximize transaction fees or extract Maximal Extractable Value. This separation of concerns is a key feature in modern blockchain architectures.
