MEV-SBC’25 is starting now! @0xQuintus is kicking us off with “TTEE: Marrying Cryptography and Physics”

Tether's quarterly profits are higher than the entire Ethereum validator set's annual rewards 🤯🤯

Just thinking out loud: does FOCIL shift the overton window for what builders should feel compelled to put in their blocks? If a tx is not in an inclusion list and builders aren't making money from it, is it a greenlight for builders to exclude it and remain ethereum aligned?

IMH(umble)O, the free-option problem should be seen as a P0 bug in our thinking about ePBS! 🪲🛑 without getting bogged down in the greeks, the intuition is simple: builders *will be* incentivized to intentionally miss slots – especially during periods of high volatility.

@Data_Always Our post is best read in conjunction with this new research from Christoph and @0xBrMazoRoig of Flashbots. It expresses serious concerns about the Free Option Problem in ePBS, and explores possible mitigations.

my favorite part of this is that you can see not just the subslot ordering, but also the shift in the full block. here for example, the transaction at index 122 here would have been ToB and skewed everyone else's execution.

45MGas block proposed by BuilderNet(Flashbots) and accepted Ethereum mainnet block size and L1 throughput has increased 25% since last week! Moar

did we hit escape velocity on the way to 45M?
