Background

The paper highlights emerging systems—MEV-Share, MEVBlocker, and BuilderNet—that aim to distribute private orderflow more fairly and privately, potentially mitigating centralization pressures in the builder market.

Because these systems either rely on trusted components or are not yet mature, their ultimate effects on market structure, including competitiveness and centralization, are not yet established, prompting the need for longitudinal evaluation.

References

Recent proposals like MEV-Share , MEVBlocker , and BuilderNet aim to provide a fairer and private orderflow distribution. However, these systems are either relying on trusted entities or remain in early development, leaving their long-term impact on market structure unclear.
