Relative Batch Fairness

Definition

Relative Batch Fairness is a concept that aims to ensure transactions within a group are ordered equitably, without giving undue advantage to any specific participant. This principle applies to blockchain systems where transactions are processed in batches or blocks, seeking to minimize the ability of block producers to reorder transactions for their own financial benefit. It focuses on ensuring that transactions submitted around the same time are processed in a sequence that is not arbitrarily manipulated, promoting a more level playing field for all users. The goal is to reduce the impact of Miner Extractable Value (MEV) within a given block.
