The article examines the limitations of contention transparency in Ethereum's transaction relay networks. It highlights how miners privately select transactions, which hinders transparency among miners and transaction issuers. The article discusses the rise of relay networks in response to predatory practices like front-running in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) sector. It analyzes transaction prioritization norms and their implications on decentralized governance and scalability, emphasizing the significant role of transparency in meeting the needs of a growing blockchain ecosystem.
Contention transparency in Ethereum's transaction relay networks fails because miners can privately select transactions, leading to an obscured view of pending transactions for others.
The rise of private relay networks in Ethereum has facilitated predatory front-running behaviors, with bots exploiting the system to engage in sandwich and transaction-replay attacks.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has transformed Ethereum into a lucrative market, intensifying competition and prompting the development of relay networks to manage transaction privacy.
Transaction prioritization norms are essential for managing contention in blockchains, yet the lack of transparency can undermine decentralized governance and scalability.
