Optimum's new analysis puts concrete ETH numbers on the value of network latency reduction - 50ms of faster propagation translates to +0.66% APR and 150 ETH/week in additional MEV bid value across the network.
@0x3hu79A study from Yale, Flashbots, and King's College formalizes what many suspected - Ethereum's block-building architecture systematically drives geographic centralization. The mechanisms are different under local vs. PBS building, and consensus parameters act as hidden geographic levers.
@0x3hu79Vitalik laid out a sweeping vision across four areas of Ethereum's protocol evolution - cryptographic primitives, account abstraction, execution layer changes, and block building. Here's what it all means.
