Location: MOOS Space, Berlin Date: Thursday, June 13, 2024 (dates & times in GMT+2) Livestream (starting at 14:00 GMT+2): streameth.org/zuberlin Curated by T.I.N.A. & Kubi with thanks to the Zuberlin community, stream.eth and PBS Foundation. AM | IRL Researchathon Note: The morning session for MEV Day will focus on tying the loose ends to the Sequencing Day (Video) and Protocol Day (Videos) discussions, through concurrent workshops. The Researchathon Presentation was livestreamed. How does it work? A set of topics selected from the pool of open questions identified or proposed, will be pre-assigned Navigators based on domain of expertise and interest. The goal is to guide each of the group to work as quickly as possible to either get to a rough spec, surface dependencies and come to a next step or conclusion. To learn more about the researchathon format, check out the 1st researchathon experiment at EthDenver 2023.

Special thanks to Rook, Blocknative, Gauntlet, DBA, Fenbushi. wtf is a [re]search-athon Every now and then, when I look around, I find myself, along with many of you lingering on this page, trapped in the parable of the blind men and an elephant. While MEV is a critical metric for network security in any distributed system secured by economic incentives, it is also a multidiciplinary design space that lies in the intersection of economics, security and cryptography. While anyone may bring something to the table regardless of domain of expertise, cross-domain collaboration often incurs higher communications overhead due to vastly different frames of references. Moreover, boundaries of organizations add friction to open collaboration in exploratory research or emergent design problems. We often see withholding of information due to differences in strategic interests, unnecessary redundancies or gaps across organizations, or failure to align on a common understanding due to a lack of shared context. We end up circling around local optima, involuntarily fall into turf wars from unnecessary collisions.

Yet another public research unconference in the open with the brilliant super-coders.
