At this Ethereum Engineering Group online event on August 12, Kevin Lespoe will deliver this talk: MEV exists because Ethereum’s block is essentially a 12-second blind auction.
ETHGas turns blockspace into an open market with preconfirmations, and splitting the block toward realtime settlement shrinks the arbitrage window that toxic MEV depends on.
This talk is a technical take on where blockspace markets and PBS are actually heading.
