Economic Censorship Games in Fraud Proofs
Ben Berger, Research Scientist, Offchain Labs This talk considers economic censorship attacks, where an attacker censors the defender's transactions by bribing block proposers. We analyze three game theoretic models of these dynamics and determine the challenge period length required to ensure the defender's success, as a function of the number of required protocol moves and the players' available budgets. https://defisecuritysummit.org/schedule
