Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin suggested a way to mitigate ETH censorship
Join Our Telegram channel to stay up to date on breaking news coverage Ethereum recently completed the Merge, meaning that it transitioned to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). But, even before the merge, and more so now that the move was made — there is strong concern that censorship could be a major problem for the project’s continued evolution. In order to mitigate such risks, Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, came up with a proposal to introduce partial block auctions. Buterin published a blog post describing the way this could work, essentially suggesting that builders should have a limited amount of power, which would reduce the risk of censorship. Instead of allowing the builders to have full control to construct the entire block , they would have a more limited amount of power. How can the project limit the builders’ power? This should not hinder the block-building process, as builders would still have enough power to be able to capture almost all MEV ...
