Does Ethereum Really Need PBS? Solving MEV at the app vs the infrastructure layer

Duration: 00:24:35

Speaker: Felix Leupold

Type: Lightning Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

In this talk, we will give a brief history of MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) and its influence on enshrining PBS (Proposer Builder Separation) into Ethereum. We will explore the Ethereum community’s evolving perspectives on PBS while looking at successful outcomes, unexpected consequences, and alternate solutions. Ultimately, the talk will provocatively ask: does Ethereum really need PBS at all?
