MEV Scaling Ethereum Panel
summary
Argues that MEV acts as a real centralization pressure: specialized infra and network proximity favor large block proposers, while Flashbots searcher-miner separation only partially flattens advantages. Predicts base fees have a nonzero floor and historically rebound after increased capacity. Proposes constraining proposers via a commit-to-search-algorithm marketplace and moving sequencing/data availability to randomized committees or federated DA (mentions Chainlink fair sequencing protocol). Flags staking liquidity, exchanges and correlated slashing as the biggest systemic risks.
