Bitcoin MEV: Workstream Update Thread

Dear all Stacks/Bitcoin community:
To expand further “How you can help” in Pavitthra’s comment, in additional to joining the discussions of public calls, there are targeted questions core devs would like to know from the community if you have any thoughts/feedback:

  • Q1. Which proposal, PCR or Smoothing, seems to adequately addresses the issue of miner extractable value? What improvements or changes would you suggest?
    • Q2. You can evaluate the solutions on the basis of: does it adequately deter MEV miners from excluding block commits of other miners?
  • Q3. What changes to miner behavior might result from implementing either of these solutions? Do these changes affect the efficacy of the chosen solution?

Looking forward to hearing feedback from all community, or if you know anyone who might have knowledge in this can help gather deeper thoughts.
