Minor Extractable Value. This phrase is essentially one of the largest fundamental risk locations present for blockchain -based systems. The basic concept of a blockchain included encouragement for miners (or other general consensus participants who decide to order a transaction) who are also entered into each block to earn revenue on the basis of initial block subsidy, in addition to the fees paid by users, their transactions are confirmed.
These two things are no longer the only source of revenue that encourage the functions of miners. More complex contracts and protocols are now present to facilitate the construction and exchange of various assets held on a blockchain. These contracts, by design, allow anyone to open access. If you have an essential property, and can meet the specified exchange conditions, then any user can unilaterally interact with the contract or protocol to exchange property.
Given that the miners eventually decide what the transaction is accepted in the block, it gives preference to “jumping the line” in interaction with such contracts and protocols. It presents a serious problem, which depends on the degree of complexity involved in successfully extracting value from various contracts or protocols.
This creates a huge centralization pressure on mining as much as these contracts and protocols are formed. Are miners Capacity To collect all of this value, but to do so they actually need to analyze the current status of these contracts. The more complex, more complex and expensive analysis as the contract, and more centralization pressure makes it for miners.
This sensorship is terrible for resistance.
Proposer builder separation
The poster of Ethereum Mev is the child. Due to the high complexity of the contracts deployed on the Ethereum, the amount of MeV created on that series has been very large. Naturally they have come up with a solution in response to the issue.
The proponent builder separation demanded to reduce the centralization risks of MeV by creating isolation between two roles involved in furthering blockchain. Builders (block template creators) actually handle the role of assembling transactions in the block, and the proposer (miners/stackers) choose to choose the most profitable one between the available block templates. The idea behind the proposal is that we can affect centralization to template producers, but this can protect miners/stakes. As long as there is a competitive market for template production, things should still be safe.
This has not happened in practice. The reality is that only some competitive builders are present, and when the most profitable template manufacturers decide to do some sensors, it is effectively sensor by each minor/stacker that chooses to use those profitable block templates. Given that not choosing the most profitable template is financially irrational, it does not actually resolve the risk of sensorship.
Mevpool
Mevopol proposal The PBS proposal for bitcoin by Matt Korlo and 7D5x9 is an attempt to a way to revise a way that actually provides mitigation for the risk of sensorship.
The main difference between PBS and Mevpool is outsourcing of template construction, not total, Mewpools still finally form the end block template. They simply outsource the process of selecting the most of the transactions that optimize mev extraction, including block templates that they form themselves. Its purpose is to allow miners to maximize their mev cuts, while still maintain the freedom to include whatever transactions they want, as the binary choice of accepting the binary choice of accepting sensorship for maximum profit or profit to prevent sensorship under PBS.
The proposal will have to install the marketplace relay for the host orderbook, where MEV Extractor can post its proposed transaction and they will pay miners to include fees they include them in a block. They will allow the tongs to define the conditions under which they will pay for the transaction conclusion, ie only when they are the first transaction to interact with a specific contract in the block. Marketplaces will also support seal or uncontrolled orders, ie seal request orders where the proposed transaction is actually not revealed to the minein until they look at the block.
How does he work? All miners have a transaction ish to include in a merclay tree to start mining, they do not require full transactions until they find a valid block and go to broadcast it. But they need to know that the transaction is valid. This is the role that has to be filled by the Marketplace Relay.
There are two ways about doing this. First, the simplest way is for them for a purely reliable third party. MeV’s extractor relay operators will submit their transactions, and miners will join these relay. They will later request the list of sealing and uncontrolled dialects from the marketplace operator, including the required to include the bids sealed, and the construction of the block template is a custom piece of software. Once they successfully find a valid blockheader, they used to send the missing data to the block minus in the relay.
The relay will then include full seal transactions, the block will be broadcast itself, and then sending full seal transactions to the miners so that they can also broadcast the block. During this entire process, the fee of the MeV Extractor will be conducted in the Escro by the marketplace relay, and the minor will be released after finding a valid block.
This requires a lot of belief in the relay, from both miners as well as MEV extractors pay them.
The second option is the use of a reliable execution environment (TEE) to handle the construction of block templates from the miners, as well as handling encrypted seal bids. Custom template software and a bitcoin node will be run inside the minein tea. After obtaining seal and unsold bids to the miners and constructing their blocks, the TEE will sign a verification of the block and provide a marketplace relay with a session key.
Marketplaces will encrypted sealed transactions and a transaction to the transaction paying their fee to the session key. After completing the mineral a valid blockhash difficulty target, TEE will decry to seal transactions and allow them to broadcast the full block and collect their fees from MEV Extractors. Everyone involved in this scenario has to rely on T to stay safe.
Final result
Its final result is likely to be the same as PBS at the atherium. There are only a handful of big builders who build the MeV customized template for miners, and they all directly transact that exclude them from the band from Mempool. Mevpool Marketplace relay, both variations, rely on public information about publicly circulated orders to allow general users to estimate appropriate fees. If large marketplace transactions were not sent anywhere else and were able to withdraw that fee data, it could affect users extensively.
In addition, while it allows the miners to select the freedom to select its own transactions outside the customized subgroups, it still leaves the room for large markets, which receives private transactions to take advantage of the situation. Such marketplace miners can sensor other transactions by stopping orderbook data from them, if a contestant does not exist with access to the same information.
Eventually I do not see it as a solution to the issue of MeV, more of its worst potential effects of a banded or mitigation. This centralization does not completely remove risks and pressures, but it modifies them in some areas.
