This concentration undermines the network’s decentralized foundation and allows these entities to hold most of the maximum extractable value (MEV). The proposed solution would fundamentally change Ethereum’s block creation process. Instead of specialized builders constructing blocks, all Ethereum clients (like Geth and Nethermind) would use an identical random algorithm to…
