I have recently taken on my new role as team lead of the Robust Incentives Group (RIG) and I am truly excited to continue pushing Ethereum forward together with our incredible team: @julianma @soispoke @anderselowsson @davidecrapis. A quick note on what do at RIG and some of our latest research: At RIG, we study Ethereum’s protocol architecture and mechanisms through the lens of game theory, mechanism design, using formal methods, and empirical analysis. While our work has an economic focus, it is inherently interdisciplinary—drawing insights from economics, computer science, cryptography, distributed systems, and beyond. We work and collaborate across these fields to find ways to improve Ethereum, balancing long-term foundational research with practical proposals for mainnet upgrades—biasing towards the latter. Our goal: mechanisms that are rigorous and practical.

In Orbit SSF, validators rotate based on size, leading larger validators to take on greater risks. We must therefore provide some incentives to ensure consolidation in the staking set. This post offers a framework for designing such incentives. https://ethresear.ch/t/consolidation-incentives-in-orbit-vorbit-ssf/21593

Vorbit SSF with circular and spiral finality: validator selection and distribution This post analyzes how cumulative finality accrues across committees in single-slot finality (SSF) for a wide range of validator sets, with a key focus on committee design. https://ethresear.ch/t/vorbit-ssf-with-circular-and-spiral-finality-validator-selection-and-distribution/20464 ✍️

Excited to share the second part of ROP-7 on 'Embedded Fee Markets and ERC-4337 (Part 2)' by @barnabe and me. Over the past few months, I feel like I've opened many doors and realized how much more there is to learn, therefore I'm really happy to be taking my first steps into researching these topics https://ethresear.ch/t/embedded-fee-markets-and-erc-4337-part-2/20384

Wrote a short post on using Harberger Lease, an idea from @aja @ciamac @undefined and @danrobinson, for Execution Tickets/Auctions. It is an interesting way to prevent hold-out problems and increase allocative efficiency at an, in my opinion, slightly increased risk of more multi-block MEV. https://mirror.xyz/0x03c29504CEcCa30B93FF5774183a1358D41fbeB1/TO_fODV1R1QampX9FVGOYP6m9WZAKckFsZjaj1dizTI

Burn incentives in MEV pricing auctions This post identifies a strong incentive for burning MEV through early bidding in MEV auctions: Stakers wish to prevent competitors from attaining a higher equilibrium yield than them. They will integrate with builders to burn MEV. Link👇

Missed this the first time around but no, not really. Péter’s is still only staking nodes “making a list” by just applying local rules (which I don’t think works well enough in practice). His version is closer to COMIS, minus the on-chain footprint which helps coordination and accountability
