Ethereum's future is not just about scaling. And it seems...that future starts before transactions reach the block!
The cryptographic world computer: vitalik.eth.limo/general/202… My attempt to express in somewhat concise terms the true meaning of basically everything planned to happen to Ethereum starting from the fork after Hegota. It's really not just a blockchain anymore. It's a hybrid architecture that combines together blockchains and modern cryptography, to enable much more powerful properties. FOCIL, EIP-8288, Lean consensus, state management, formal verification, advanced mempool improvements (including privacy), and the longer-term specter of obfuscation all mentioned.

One part of the vision Vitalik highlights for Ethereum’s future is privacy in the mempool That’s exactly why we’ve worked so hard on encrypted mempools, they’re essential Temporarily encrypting transactions so they can’t be exploited by sandwich attackers and front-runners

The encrypted mempool working group met this week to discuss one of the biggest open questions in LUCID EIP design: the optionality problem. A thread 👇🧵

5/ The original idea made the whitelist a hard requirement, and that raises a question: how can Ethereum preserve permissionlessness? The call landed on a softer direction. Anyone can publish keys, self-reveal included. Whitelisted publishers are ranked at the top of the block.

6/ The next step is adding the whitelist and top-of-block ranking to EIP-8184.

🔐 Who gets to hold the keys to Ethereum's encrypted mempool? Validators might soon vote on it. Encrypt The Mempool #10: → Validators may soon allowlist trusted key publishers by vote, through an execution-layer contract where an address needs 50% of total effective balance to be accepted (delegation included). → Top-of-block ordering would prioritize allowlisted publishers, lowering market-entry barriers while letting newcomers earn before they hit the 50% threshold. → Threshold encryption and post-quantum requirements are parked until the crypto matures - the focus is now Lucid's optionality problem, with a key publisher revealing keys after commit. → Cadence moves to monthly, and Jannik is opening a PR to EIP-8184 to fold in the allowlist mechanism. 🔗 eipsinsight.com/calls/etm/10 #Ethereum #EncryptTheMempool #Lucid #MEV @drakefjustin @weboftrees @encryptmempool

Encrypt the Mempool ISN'T JUST ANOTHER PROJECT! Protecting users from transaction manipulation strengthens: 1. Security 2. Reliability 3. Trust These are the foundations crypto needs for meaningful, widespread adoption. So that "Fi" in DeFi can become a reality!

Some people believe that encrypted mempools eliminate all MEV. But certain types of MEV are essential for maintaining healthy markets. Encrypted mempools should be viewed as a precise tool that specifically addresses malicious forms of MEV that emerge from information asymmetry.
