Ethereum Researcher Pushes for Decentralized Block Building

An Ethereum researcher, Malik672, has proposed a new solution to address the centralization issues plaguing Ethereum's block-building process.

The proposal introduces a “shared random algorithm” that aims to decentralize block creation by leveraging Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) to remove Maximal Extractable Value (MEV).

This would prevent profit-driven manipulation by block proposers and promote more fair and distributed block creation, unlike the current Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) model.

Malik672’s proposal comes in response to reports showing that a small group of builders, Beaverbuild and Titan Builder, controlled nearly 90% of Ethereum’s blocks, raising concerns about centralization. By involving thousands of clients in the block creation process, the plan aims to distribute power more equally.

Additionally, the proposal aligns with Ethereum’s scaling efforts, including Danksharding, to improve transaction throughput and reduce block times from 12 to 6-8 seconds.

While the proposal has some drawbacks, such as reduced Layer 2 efficiency and potential gas-tip changes, Malik672 believes these can be addressed in future updates. The proposal reflects Ethereum’s ongoing efforts to decentralize and scale its network, with developers actively working on speeding up upgrades.
