Wrote a post on FOCIL resource considerations after reflecting on how clients might implement it. We outlined some concerns about potential bottlenecks, hoping to spark more discussions to move it toward the spec realization phase. Feedback welcome!

One thing BRAID simplifies over something like FOCIL is that it doesn't require introducing a third type of actor (inclusion list construc

Here are my slides for ethcc on redefining trust between proposer and builder through ePBS. Today, to use a builder, a proposer MUST trust a relayer, which carries invisible costs across multiple domains: money, latency, fault, schedule, and healthy market dynamics. I argue that these costs become cheaper (or go away) ...
