mev-boost


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 was initially proposed by Ethereum researchers as a response to the risk that MEV poses to decentralization of consensus networks.
  • mev-boost+ is an iteration that uses eigen layer, a meta-slashing protocol on ethereum, to return agency to block proposers (allowing them to partition an execution block).
