This post proposes a mechanism for users to protect their txs against MEV extraction. Users encrypt and decrypt their txs without intermediaries using a simple cryptographic hash, trustlessly achieving an encrypted mempool. https://ethresear.ch/t/sealed-transactions/21859

🧵 Rainbow roles & incentives: ABPS + FOCILR + AS This post explores the limits of a maximally unbundled staking set, examining potential rainbow roles and the incentive designs required to coordinate them. It presents three unbundling mechanisms: https://ethresear.ch/t/rainbow-roles-incentives-abps-focilr-as/21826

In Orbit SSF, validators rotate based on size, leading larger validators to take on greater risks. We must therefore provide some incentives to ensure consolidation in the staking set. This post offers a framework for designing such incentives. https://ethresear.ch/t/consolidation-incentives-in-orbit-vorbit-ssf/21593

My talk from Devcon on a Practical endgame on issuance policy is now up. I review the motivations, impacts and potential downsides of a reduction in issuance. This thread will visualize an automated gradual reduction in issuance, which I suggested in an answer at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m91Wu6-cdwk

Here is rough draft of how we can design consolidation incentives in Orbit SSF. Publishing it now since I will briefly refer to it during my talk at Devcon tomorrow. https://notes.ethereum.org/@anderselowsson/Incentives_SSF

Practical endgame on issuance policy This post presents a practical endgame on issuance policy that can stop the growth in stake while guaranteeing proper consensus incentives and providing positive regular rewards to diligent small solo stakers. https://ethresear.ch/t/practical-endgame-on-issuance-policy/20747

Vorbit SSF with circular and spiral finality: validator selection and distribution This post analyzes how cumulative finality accrues across committees in single-slot finality (SSF) for a wide range of validator sets, with a key focus on committee design. https://ethresear.ch/t/vorbit-ssf-with-circular-and-spiral-finality-validator-selection-and-distribution/20464 ✍️

I wish to highlight is how to present yield distributions for non-pooled stakers. Some webpages and researchers rely on things like the median across all validators over some minuscule time period, averaging these medians over time. This fails to capture the probabilistic outcome facing the solo staker. Half of the validators will never propose a block during the same day, yet half will still propose within a few months. Order statistics are instead relevant on a per-validator basis over longer time. To check if it is raining, do not extend your hand and measure the median number of fingers impacted by raindrops every millisecond. The result will always be zero; yet it might still rain. The tiny vertical black line segment is the solo stakers that do not have a block proposal or sync-committee duty over a year, presented as the “all-time median” on sites such as Rated. The real median outcome facing solo stakers after one year is indicated by a black arrow, fairly close already to the expected yield.

MEV resistant dynamic pricing auction of execution proposal rights: This post presents an alternative auction mechanism for selling execution proposal rights in advance, relevant to current research on ET/EA. It induces little new MEV, producing a high aggregate MEV burn. Link👇

Burn incentives in MEV pricing auctions This post identifies a strong incentive for burning MEV through early bidding in MEV auctions: Stakers wish to prevent competitors from attaining a higher equilibrium yield than them. They will integrate with builders to burn MEV. Link👇

FAQ: Ethereum issuance reduction When it comes to reducing issuance, there are many important questions to consider. Having studied these questions extensively, I thought it would be fruitful to address them one by one with detailed answers. Link 👇 https://ethresear.ch/t/faq-ethereum-issuance-reduction/19675

One million validators. A reminder that there is a proposal for tempering issuance, which would bring many benefits. Would be great to see more discussion within the community on the proposal, and I'm available to answer any questions. https://ethresear.ch/t/reward-curve-with-tempered-issuance-eip-research-post/19171

There is a paradigm for the reward curve that I wanted to highlight: a reward curve with capped issuance. It is similar to the reward curve with tempered issuance. I outline the baseline design here and will return with a longer write-up. https://notes.ethereum.org/@anderselowsson/Reward-curve-with-capped-issuance

Foundations of minimum viable issuance. A simple post on the core premise behind a change to Ethereum’s issuance policy. There are many benefits to minimum viable issuance; I wanted to emphasize how it inherently creates value by reducing costs to users. https://notes.ethereum.org/@anderselowsson/Foundations-of-MVI

This EIP research post provides the rationale for adjusting Ethereum’s issuance policy to use a reward curve with tempered issuance. It covers relevant trade-offs, reviews security considerations, and discusses the endgame. https://ethresear.ch/t/reward-curve-with-tempered-issuance-eip-research-post/19171
