Demonstrating a dramatic reversal of censorship on Ethereum, fewer than a third of new blocks over the past 5 days are OFAC-compliant, cryptauxmargaux writes for this week’s Valid Points newsletter
What contributed to the reversal?in September, about 85% of the blocks that made it onto the blockchain participated in a middleware known as MEV-Boost, where validators can request pre-made blocks from builders., which are profits that come from rearranging or including certain transactions within a block. The MEV-Boost software was innovated by Ethereum research and development team Flashbots in order to distribute MEV among validators more equally.
While MEV-Boost hasn’t been integrated into Ethereum at the protocol level, it’s widely used by the Ethereum ecosystem, ashave relayed blocks via the middleware component. Flashbots also has its own relayer for validators to connect with, used by roughly 25% of validators. After OFAC sanctioned Tornado Cash, there was debate over whether validators should include those transactions or not. Ever since then, the Ethereum community has continued to push for a censorship reversal, and the results of those efforts now appear to be paying off thanks, in large part, to the introduction of new, non-censoring relays.
At the time the sanctions went into effect, most validators were connected to Flashbots’ MEV-Boost relay which Flashbots immediately programmed to censor transactions by default.its code for MEV-Boost, so others could develop their own non-censoring relays.
