The goal of this paper is to rigorously interrogate conventional wisdom about centralization in block-building (due to, e.g., MEV and private order flow) and the outsourcing of block-building by validators to specialists (i.e., proposer-builder separation): This paper develops mathematical models and results that offer answers to these questions: Our models and results take advantage of connections to contest design, Pólya urn processes, and auction theory.

摘要

The goal of this paper is to rigorously interrogate conventional wisdom about centralization in block-building (due to, e.g., MEV and private order flow) and the outsourcing of block-building by validators to specialists (i.e., proposer-builder separation): This paper develops mathematical models and results that offer answers to these questions: Our models and results take advantage of connections to contest design, Pólya urn processes, and auction theory.
