Ordering equality refers to the principle that all participants in a decentralized network have an equal opportunity for their transactions to be processed and ordered fairly. This concept aims to prevent front-running and other forms of transaction manipulation where certain actors gain an unfair advantage by influencing the sequence of transactions within a block. It seeks to ensure that transaction ordering is determined by neutral mechanisms rather than by the power or connections of specific validators or miners. Achieving true ordering equality is important for maintaining a fair and transparent market environment.
Context
Ordering equality is a significant challenge in blockchain design, particularly with the rise of Miner Extractable Value (MEV) and sophisticated arbitrage strategies. The discussion centers on developing and implementing mechanisms, such as proposer-builder separation or fair sequencing algorithms, to mitigate unfair transaction ordering practices. Ensuring ordering equality is critical for the integrity and perceived fairness of decentralized exchanges and other on-chain applications.
By mapping the "equal opportunity" fairness problem to Differential Privacy, this research unlocks a new class of provably fair, bias-resistant transaction ordering mechanisms.
