Transaction sequencing refers to the process by which a blockchain network orders and includes transactions into blocks. This order is critical because it determines the final state of the ledger and can significantly impact the outcome of smart contract executions. Different consensus mechanisms employ various methods for sequencing, influencing factors like transaction finality and resistance to front-running. It dictates the chronological processing of operations.
Context
The fairness and efficiency of transaction sequencing are persistent challenges in blockchain design, particularly in high-throughput networks and decentralized finance (DeFi). News reports often discuss the implications of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), where validators or miners can profit by strategically ordering transactions. Ongoing research aims to develop more equitable and transparent sequencing mechanisms to mitigate these issues.
Fino integrates MEV-resistance directly into Directed Acyclic Graph consensus, decoupling transaction content from ordering metadata to secure high-throughput systems.
A novel AMM mechanism uses a constant potential function to batch-process transactions, provably eliminating miner arbitrage and enforcing honest user behavior.
Research introduces the Fair Consensus Factory, a systemic framework to integrate order-fairness primitives into Byzantine consensus, directly addressing the foundational MEV problem.
Mechanized formalization of MEV using the Lean theorem prover provides machine-checked proofs of extraction bounds, fundamentally securing DeFi protocol logic.
Researchers established that any Differential Privacy mechanism can enforce fair transaction ordering, transforming a privacy tool into a core mechanism design primitive for decentralized systems.
FairFlow introduces a layered protocol using decentralized auctions and randomized ordering to mitigate MEV, ensuring equitable and private transaction execution.
A novel AMM mechanism processes all block transactions in a single batch, mathematically eliminating block producer arbitrage and mitigating MEV extraction.
FairFlow introduces a commit-reveal auction and randomized ordering to eliminate validator control over transaction sequencing, potentially restoring fairness to DeFi.
By shifting MEV mitigation to the AMM's core logic, this mechanism guarantees risk-free profit elimination and truthful user behavior under fair sequencing.
This work introduces a Decentralized Clock Network that separates transaction ordering from consensus, using timestamp agreement to enforce δ-Median Fairness and mitigate front-running.
A new AMM mechanism ensures provable incentive compatibility by maintaining a constant potential function, fundamentally eliminating application-layer MEV exploitation.
Research shifts MEV mitigation from consensus to smart contracts, using batch processing and a potential function to ensure arbitrage resilience and fairer DeFi markets.
