Ethereum researchers propose a solution to centralization issues and the elimination of MEV
Ethereum researcher "Malik672" has proposed a "Decentralized Random Block Proposal", aimed at eliminating MEV and addressing centralization issues.
The research points out that currently about 80% of Ethereum blocks are proposed by only two entities, which damages the network's decentralized nature.
The proposal suggests all Ethereum clients use the same random algorithm to build blocks, reaching consensus through Byzantine fault tolerance mechanisms. This system will eliminate Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) at the block level, distribute block proposing rights from a few builders to thousands of global clients while maintaining compatibility with sharding technology.
Compared to the current Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) mechanism, this system prioritizes trustlessness over optimization. It could potentially reduce Ethereum's block time from 12 seconds to 6-8 seconds but may sacrifice some second-layer network efficiency. Researchers believe this trade-off is worthwhile for an Ethereum that values fairness and decentralization.

Asia-Pacific stock markets follow the overnight rally in US tech stocks, with South Korea's KOSPI up 5% at the open, SK Hynix surging more than 7%, and Nikkei 225 rising over 2%.
This round of rebound occurred after the market experienced severe turbulence. Last week, concerns over the potential for stricter regulation of the artificial intelligence industry, due to the US Congressional election results, triggered a large-scale sell-off in chip stocks. Several market participants believe that this rebound indicates investors have not abandoned the AI trading narrative, and last week’s sell-off was more about position adjustments rather than a trend reversal.
