Searching for EVM Parallelism
summary
Argues that EVM parallelism stalls on unpredictable state access: transactions are parallelizable only when they touch disjoint state, and the proposed simple rule — reject blocks where transactions’ state intersects — raises a block‑producer problem because producers cannot know intersections without running transactions. Notes 60%+ hash running Flashbots and explains Flashbots’ bundles mirror this verifier/producer asymmetry (payment to coinbase happens at the end). Mentions access lists are optional and suggests layered MEV auctions plus Flashbots resale can raise L2 throughput.
