Cryptographic Time-Locks and Distributed Sequencing Ensure Fair Transaction Ordering
A distributed sequencing committee uses Threshold Cryptography and Verifiable Delay Functions to cryptographically decouple ordering from the consensus proposer, eliminating MEV extraction.
Quantifying the Compromise between Neutrality and Compliance in Proof-of-Stake
New analysis quantifies how Proposer-Builder Separation and MEV incentives compromise both censorship resistance and regulatory compliance.
L1 Proposers Decentralize Rollup Sequencing Using Delegation and Preconfirmations
Based sequencing leverages the L1 validator set's economic security to credibly neutralize L2 sequencers, unlocking trust-minimized interoperability and high-performance preconfirmations.
Game Theory Reveals Private Orderflow Centralizes Block Building Auctions
Game theory proves private orderflow and latency asymmetries drive MEV-Boost to an oligopoly equilibrium, requiring new trustless orderflow mechanisms.
