This talk will explore the future of encrypted mempools, paving the way to enshrinement on Ethereum L1. Starting from current designs such as Shutter and SUAVE, security assumptions and out-of-protocol infrastructure can be stripped away with cryptography including homomorphic encryption, VDFs, and delay encryption. These approaches would trustlessly bring front running protection and censorship resistance to the protocol.
I work for Nethermind as an Ethereum core developer, and am interested in protocol research, applying cryptoeconomics to keep Ethereum censorship resistant. Recently, I have worked on implementing support for the Shutter encrypted mempool in the Nethermind client.
