A Transaction Sequencing Game describes the strategic interactions among network participants, such as validators or miners, regarding the order in which transactions are processed and included in a block. Participants may compete to prioritize certain transactions, especially those offering higher fees, leading to potential issues like front-running or censorship. This game-theoretic aspect significantly impacts transaction fairness and network efficiency. It is a critical area of study in blockchain economics.
