LUCID EIP Adds Validator-Backed Publisher Priority
The new EIP proposes majority-stake voting lists to prioritize trusted key publishers and limit selective key release.
Researchers published a new draft EIP extending the design for an encrypted mempool on Ethereum. The new version introduces validator-managed priority lists for key publishers, aiming to address the optionality problem, where a publisher could choose to delay the release of a transaction’s decryption key to.
Under the new proposal, validators subscribe to publisher lists, and a publisher earns priority when validators holding more than half of active effective balance support it. Sealed transactions using prioritized publishers would be ordered ahead of other sealed transactions, while other publishers could still participate. The proposal also requires key publishers to sign key-release messages and removes LUCID’s limit on preceding commitments.
The EIP is an early draft phase and open to community feedback. The proposal also calls for feedback at the Encrypt the Mempool Tech Working Group meeting on November 11 at 15:00 UTC. See the meeting agenda.
