We break down the transaction pipeline from validators to builders, explore the risks of today's order flow systems, and unpack how encrypted mempools aim to reduce MEV, improve privacy, and strengthen censorship resistance. Featuring Luis Bezzenberger from Shutter Network and Julian Ma from the Ethereum Foundation's Robust Incentives Group, the conversation dives into EIP-8184 (LUCID), its design, tradeoffs, and what it means for the future of Ethereum market structure. If you care about MEV, decentralization, and the path to low-risk DeFi, this is a must-listen!
