EPF Update #2

TLDR / Main Updates

Week of 11/07/2022

  • ✅ research into in-protocol PBS and writing summaries for prominent ethresear.ch posts
    • Notes are written up in my WIP doc in notion
  • main goal here was to get a good sense of what in-protocol PBS gives us and why

Week of 11/14/2022

  • ✅ starting contribution to relay-monitor (first PR done)
  • ✅ synced sepolia node (prysm + geth)
  • syncing mainnet node

Week of 11/28/2022

  • ✅ prysm wasn't optimal for work on relay monitor, so synced a sepolia node of lighthouse + geth
  • ✅ studied Relay API, builder API spec, consensus spec, ssz spec
  • second PR to relay-monitor
  • ✅ wrote up current and upcoming work on relay-monitor project and motivation

This week:

  • Primarily focus on implementing feature for RM
  • Lots of exciting things to work on:
    • Persistance support already WIP
  • Have plans to sync a Goerli node
    • Will check up on best current ways to get Goerli ETH for dev/testing

Extra Notes:

  • Over last week or so I started organizing notes from my first two-week deep dive into a cohesive resource that might at some point be useful for connecting things together. The page I have going is here on Notion (but it's just exportable markdown so possible to put somewhere else) – https://andriidski.notion.site/WIP-Andrii-MEV-Deep-Dive-599a7c4903b84fdfaf08d1cc83488825
    • Is currently WIP, am migrating notes from HackMD and such and organizing according to type
    • Will keep updating with more resources this week
    • Any new writing will go here as well
  • I wrote up a document (might change with comments + suggestions) for some of the project work that I've been getting started on and am looking to continue on – https://hackmd.io/@andriidski/rJ5p4zjvj

Expanding the relay monitor

The following is a mini-report of my EPF project work on expanding the feature set of relay monitor. This can also be used as a paired read along with this PR that implements the actual changes to the functionality. This report assumes some familiarity with the MEV supply chain, PBS, and mev-boost. In terms of background reading on MEV, I made a page with all my notes, roughly organized / tagged as part of my reading-up during the first few weeks of EPF. It can be found here: https://hackmd.io/@andriidski/Hkl6Jh_nBn There are also slides from my short presentation / demo to the EPF fellows, which can be found here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1OjwVr5jGSGLKNj3u3h7ijw8hU49DX16b4SoI2Y5DEck/edit?usp=share_link

MEV notes

General Notes on Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) https://barnabe.substack.com/p/pbs Suggestion to look at PBS from two separate lenses: Market structure Allocation mechanism Market structure is what I think of as the protocol acting out a role of an "enforcer". The protocol ensures certain guarantees / protections for the proposers and for third-parties, i.e. builders. Example of protections can be "proposer is paid a bid no matter what" or "builder given guarantee of bid acceptance, via say, blind signed block header".
