Economic Viability and Securing of Preconfirmations
We answer the question of “Are preconfirmation protocols expected to be economically viable for proposers to run?”.
Based Preconfirmations with Multi-round MEV-Boost
We propose multi-round MEV-Boost, a modification of MEV-Boost that enables based preconfirmations by running multiple rounds of MEV-Boost auctions within a single slot. This approach inherits the L1 PBS pipeline and mitigates the negative externalities of based preconfirmations as a result.
Value-Capturing Based Rollups with Based Preconfirmations
A protocol that enables based rollups to capture value from block building while allowing for based preconfirmations, addressing the initial design’s lack of revenue capture for rollups.
The Preconfirmation Sauna
Decentralized preconfirmers come with significant tradeoffs that will likely make them impractical for the forseeable future. The preconfirmation sauna creates a repeated game amongst permissionless preconfirmers…
Strawmanning Based Preconfirmations
This research analyzes a simple "strawman" preconfirmation setup, identifying its shortcomings and highlighting challenges that future solutions must address to mitigate negative externalities.
