🗡🩸 mev-boost stuff

tl,dr

• mev-boost is a middleware run by validators to democratize the block-building market with a implementation of proposer-builder-separation (PBS) for proof-of-stake Ethereum.
• PBS / mev-boost smooths out the variance of validator revenue to a degree, by giving solo stakers the same chance of getting as much MEV for the blocks they propose as a large staking pool, but it doesn’t fix MEV driven validator centralisation.
• pbs was initially proposed by Ethereum researchers as a response to the risk that MEV poses to decentralization of consensus networks.
