There's lots of debate over what market structure will look like with ePBS. I'm bullish trustless payments because a decentralized network shouldn't need to push 90% of blocks through three geographic chokepoints that just facilitate an offchain auction.

truly incredible.

With Quasar now integrated, PropAMMs are quoting in 94% of mev-boost blocks!

As of today, BuilderNet supports prioritised updates This means propAMMs and other designs that want to prioritise some calls over others are now feasible This Titan's announcement earlier this week mark the beginning of a new chapter in transaction execution on Ethereum with a whole new set of challenges, opportunities and unknown unknowns (definitely tighter spreads) Making this new market efficient and reducing the need to rely on trusted intermediaries will require a lot of coordination across the ecosystem As a first step, we want landing updates to be permissionless. So we're launching v0 of a registry format we hope will become an industry standard - one where builders don't need to trust the prioritised updater. We've been collaborating with other builders and DeFi teams on this behind the scenes - post coming soon. Landing updates is just the beginning, we're cooking on several related features. Some of them are predictable, some of them are not - stay tuned. Docs in next tweet

Honestly insane that the hacker felt comfortable enough to swap their stolen funds into USDC to bridge out. What is Circle doing

This is great research highlighting a problem This should be a call to mechanism designooors. We don’t want to be stuck in an equilibrium where aggregators are forced to police liquidity providers. That sucks for them and it won’t lead to the permissionless world we’re trying to build IMO the right approach here is just-in-time routing. We’re cooking on it. Other folks are too. Don’t think anyone knows how best to do this though

very important paper about JIT resale of certain auction designs (!!)

1/n Ahead-of-time (AOT) auctions may lead to secondary resale markets. Arbitrum's Timeboost is a live case. We study what happens when such a market actually emerges.

Spicy take: execution quality through LUCID might be worse than getting sandwiched - 6s --> 18s median inclusion time - Higher fees from gas limit pricing - 150M gas of transactions changing pool states leading to huge slippage in routes - Big jump in reverts from the slippage

Today, more validators censor OFAC than builders. Builder censorship has gone from over 70% to less than 5% over the past two years.

People just aren't ready for Flashbots to change blockchains e2e. They even used FHE to blindly backrun transactions and created an anonymised mempools. Even outside of crypto, this team is our real shot to complete trustless confidential computing. Onwards 🚀
