Ethereum Reworks Transaction Ordering to Curb MEV and Censorship
Over the coming months, Ethereum's protocol roadmap and research agenda restructure transaction ordering — enshrined builder separation, encrypted mempools, and censorship-resistant auctions — to limit MEV, front-running, and proposer censorship, redefining who controls the block-building supply chain.
