Restaking and MEV Mycelial Partnerships in the Dark Forest
summary
Restaking via EigenLayer lets Ethereum stakers opt into extra slashing-backed commitments so block proposers can credibly promise specific ordering rules; concrete builds include event-driven activation (keepers tethered to proposers to force timely liquidations, lowering collateral ratios), partial block auctions (selling a prefix of block space to builders while proposers retain tail agency), and threshold-encrypted lanes plus futures for reserved block space; experiments claim these compose modularly but raise measurable risks: increased proposer complexity, potential centralization, and censorship markets that need social or protocol mitigation.
