Metis Launches Decentralized Sequencer Mining to Eliminate L2 Centralization Risk
The rollout of a decentralized sequencer and its associated mining mechanism transforms rollup security from a single point of failure into a composable yield primitive.
Decentralized Order Flow Auction Secures Transaction Ordering Neutrality
A new mechanism design decentralizes block construction, using cryptographic commitments to enforce fair, censorship-resistant transaction ordering.
DAG Protocol Achieves MEV Protection with Zero Overhead
Fino, a new DAG-based BFT protocol, integrates a commit-reveal scheme to achieve Blind Order-Fairness, eliminating MEV risk with zero message overhead and no latency penalty.
Verifiable Delay Functions Cryptographically Eliminate Frontrunning and Transaction Ordering Attacks
Verifiable Delay Functions Cryptographically Eliminate Frontrunning and Transaction Ordering Attacks
The FIRST framework uses Verifiable Delay Functions to enforce a mandatory pre-execution time lock, making transaction frontrunning probabilistically impossible.
Jito Launches Block Assembly Marketplace Re-Architecting Solana’s Transaction Value Chain
BAM introduces encrypted, auditable execution, transforming Solana's MEV landscape into a transparent, revenue-generating sequencing primitive.
Differential Privacy Enforces Transaction Ordering Fairness in State Machine Replication
A breakthrough links Differential Privacy to fair transaction ordering, repurposing noise mechanisms to eliminate algorithmic bias in State Machine Replication and mitigate MEV.
Formalizing Proposer-Builder Separation Guarantees Credibly Neutral Transaction Ordering
The introduction of a two-stage commit-reveal protocol for block construction cryptographically enforces builder neutrality, eliminating the proposer's censorship vector.
Decoupling Prover and Sequencer Roles for Decentralized ZK Rollups
A new Prover-Validator Separation mechanism uses a sealed-bid auction to decentralize zero-knowledge proof generation, mitigating rollup centralization and MEV risk.
Protected Order Flow Secures Transactions, Aligning Validator Incentives
PROF introduces an incentive-compatible mechanism that enforces private transaction ordering within PBS, mitigating harmful MEV while preserving validator profitability.
