The Future of MEV
This paper analyzes the Execution Tickets proposal on Ethereum Research, unveiling its potential to revolutionize the Ethereum blockchain's economic model. At the core of this proposal lies a novel ticketing mechanism poised to redefine how the Ethereum protocol distributes the value associated with proposing execution payloads. This innovative approach enables the Ethereum protocol to directly broker Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), traditionally an external revenue stream for validators. The …

Sometimes a random Roy Orbison song pops in my head and I love it. Roy passed when I was only 8. But that's how powerful that dude was. His songs still pop in my head, despite the fact that never really actively listen to them. That's art. That's eternal.

In case you were wondering, the eternal post-fieldwork data analysis continues (when I can find time). I've come in to the office late to prepare for my next fieldwork in a couple of weeks, and thought you'd all like this gif I made from 3 #Sentinel2 satellite images showing one of our study glacier.

Eternal Universes
We consider the possibility of a past and future eternal universe, constructing geodesically complete inflating, loitering, and bouncing spacetimes. We identify the constraints energy conditions in General Relativity place on the building of eternal cosmological models. Inflationary and bouncing behavior are shown to be essential ingredients in all significant examples. Non-trivial complete spacetimes are shown to violate the null energy condition (NEC) for at least some amount of time, althoug…
