Although ZKFPs don’t completely solve this, they are able to drastically reduce withdrawal times due to their “one-shot” methodology. Rather than a lengthy back-and-forth bi-section protocol on ETH, ZKFPs allow for a single back-and-forth transaction to prove/disprove fraud.

We have estimated the institutional digital asset prime brokerage TAM today to be approximately $30B, which is expected to grow roughly in line with the 32% CAGR that’s expected for the broader cryptocurrency market.
Why we invested: FalconX - B Capital Group
While mainstream consumer adoption is evident, it may not be apparent that institutions are also lining up to allocate capital to digital assets. Marquee names like Tudor Group ($38.4Bn in AUM) and Guggenheim Investments ($233Bn in AUM) have championed Bitcoin as an asset, and other large traditional players are expected to allocate as well.

We can do this now that we’ve split validation and execution, because the entry point can require that the wallet sends ETH to the entry point as part of the validation step or the op gets rejected.
You Could Have Invented Account Abstraction: Part 1
handleOp will do the following: Check to see if the wallet has enough funds to pay the maximum amount of gas it might possibly use (based on the gas field in the user op). If not, reject. Call the wallet’s executeOp method (with the appropriate gas), keeping track of how much gas it actually uses. Send some of the wallet’s ETH to the executor to pay for the gas.
You Could Have Invented Account Abstraction: Part 1
As the wallet’s executeOp can contain arbitrary code and we can’t reasonably restrict it to stop it from fooling a simulation, this problem is insurmountable with the current interface. executeOp is just too much of a black box.
You Could Have Invented Account Abstraction: Part 1
A problem here is that simulation doesn’t perfectly predict the future. It’s entirely possible that the wallet pays for gas during simulation and fails to do so when the transaction is actually added to a block. A dishonest wallet could do this intentionally, getting its operations executed for free and racking up a huge gas bill for the executor.
You Could Have Invented Account Abstraction: Part 1
For simplicity, we will assume that these partially synchronous protocols with n≥3t+1 � ≥ 3 � + 1 are committing a single value, though the idea directly extends to multiple values. At the core, all of PBFT, Tendermint, HotStuff, and HotStuff-2 use (roughly) the same approach to obtain the safety property.

After all, Ethereum devs changed the VM many times, the consensus mechanism several times, but the state only once.

In order to help push rational behavior (delaying the block publication) towards honest behavior (on-time publishing), “honest reorgs” were implemented.

For example, an application specific DEX chain can batch all trading orders within the same market and execute them at a uniform clearing price.

The sequencer cannot exclude or censor transactions, but they are given complete control over transaction ordering over this period.

The MessageDispatcher lives on the origin chain and dispatches messages to the MessageExecutor for execution. The MessageExecutor lives on the destination chain and executes dispatched messages.

Protocol-Owned Builders, The Future of Sovereign Cosmos MEV — Osmosis Blog
Centralization of builders: as soon as block-building is outsourced out-of-protocol, the best builders are determined by access to private orderflow, and have a flywheel effect once they attain it to further entrench dominance.
Protocol-Owned Builders, The Future of Sovereign Cosmos MEV — Osmosis Blog
Ethereum has moved to the PBS model, where validators can choose from a wide variety of builders. However, PBS still has multiple problems:

In order to achieve a scalable SGX infrastructure, we’ll publicly explore architectures for end-to-end SGX designs that can deal with outside requests in a scalable fashion, and prevent spam through pre-simulation.

which would simplify TLS termination, rate-limiting, spam prevention, load-balancing and reputation management.
Block Building inside SGX | Flashbots
Public users want to connect directly to the code inside the enclave (via TLS), to be able to verify the system is running inside SGX and the code is exactly what they expect.
Block Building inside SGX | Flashbots
A likely culprit for this degradation is the way Golang handles syscalls. Instead of using the libc syscall interface, Golang calls directly into the kernel. This produces additional execution overhead when running inside an SGX enclave.
Block Building inside SGX | Flashbots
The SGX builder currently performs at around ~150 mgasps, which is about half the performance of a non-SGX builder.

Looking to the future, builders inside SGX can make blocks that are provably valid and truthfully report their bid size, possibly obviating the need for mev-boost relays.

Informally, In the first stage every non-byzantine validator on the committee sends a signed special bundle of transactions, to the leader. In order to construct a valid block, the leader must include at least 2/3 (stake weighted) of these bundles. Therefore the leader cannot construct a valid block that omits a transaction which was included in >1/3 (stake weighted) of the special bundles.

We expect that there will be many rollups with significant activity, serving as “hubs” for different ecosystems. They will gradually increase their interoperability until they form a “mesh” or “Superchain” that jointly scales Ethereum.

However, in this case, the rollup system would only alleviate computational bottlenecks of the L1. Its throughput would still be limited by the data sequencing rate of the L1.
