Fair Ordering Consensus

Definition

Fair ordering consensus aims to prevent malicious manipulation of transaction order within a blockchain network. This concept addresses the challenge of miner extractable value (MEV) and front-running by ensuring that transactions are processed in a sequence that is equitable and resistant to arbitrary reordering by block producers. It seeks to establish a verifiable and transparent method for determining the order of operations, thereby minimizing opportunities for predatory trading strategies. Achieving fair ordering enhances network integrity and user trust in decentralized systems.
