Why ETH-enshrine PBS is not yet existing

This article explains the benefits of mev-boost to the network and to validators, node operators, and staking pools.

This article explains the benefits of mev-boost to the network and to validators, node operators, and staking pools. The block producer role consists of two jobs: (1) building the best block from all available transactions, and (2) proposing this block to the network together with a proof-of-work or stake. While block building used to be easy, MEV creates an incentive for block producers to vertically integrate with trading firms to boost their returns. Unchecked, this would be a centralizing force in Ethereum. The solution is a technique called proposer-builder separation (PBS) in which valid
