• Abstract: Ethereum has emerged as a leading platform for decentralized applications (dApps) due to its robust smart contract capabilities. One of the critical issues in the Ethereum ecosystem is Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), a concept that has gained significant attention in the blockchain community. However, MEV has remained a major challenge with significant implications for the platform's operation and integrity. This paper introduces the FairFlow protocol, a novel framework designed to mitigate the effects of MEV within Ethereum's existing infrastructure. The protocol aims to provide a more equitable environment, preventing exploitation by miners or validators, and protecting user data. The combined approach of auction-based block space allocation and randomized transaction ordering significantly reduces the potential for MEV exploitation.

  MEV arises when miners or validators manipulate transaction ordering to extract additional value. This not only affects user experience by introducing unpredictability and potential financial losses but also threatens the underlying principles of decentralization and trust. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of MEV mitigation techniques as applied to both protocolss L1 and various L2 solutions.

  We study the interplay between threshold cryptography and a class of blockchains that use Byzantine-fault tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols. Existing approaches for threshold cryptosystems introduce a latency overhead of at least one message delay for running the threshold cryptographic protocol. We propose a mechanism to eliminate this overhead for blockchain-native threshold cryptosystems with tight thresholds.

  In traditional finance, there are possibilities to create values, e.g., arbitrage offers to create value from market inefficiencies or front-running offers to extract value for the participants having privileged roles. Such opportunities are readily available in DeFi ecosystems, where diverse participants engage in financial activities. In this survey, first, we show how lucrative such opportunities can be. Then, we discuss how protocolfollowing participants trying to capture such opportunities threaten to sabotage blockchain's performance. Finally, we review the current state of research trying to restore trustlessness and decentralization to provide all DeFi participants with a fair marketplace

  Execution Tickets is a novel ticketing mechanism poised to redefine how the protocol distributes the value associated with proposing execution payloads. This innovative approach enables the protocol to directly broker Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), traditionally an external revenue stream for validators. The analysis demonstrates that the Execution Ticket system can facilitate a more equitable distribution of value within the ecosystem, and pave the way for a more secure and economically robust blockchain network.
