Call summary

Decisions
  • •Top-of-block fee kept; ordering within priority section remains fee-based (not trust-rank-based) - 00:26:35
  • •Priority section admission is binary (≥50% validator support = in), not ranked by degree of trust - 00:26:19
Highlights
  • Key Publisher Governance:
    • ·No automatic slashing for invalid key reveals; validators must manually vote publishers out — external monitoring software proposed to assist - 00:19:13
    • ·Permissionless entry model: new publishers operate outside priority section, build reputation, then get voted in by validators - 00:20:43
  • Option Deterrence Top Of Block:
    • ·Session focus: top-of-block ordering to prioritize trustworthy key revealers; untrusted publishers relegated to bottom of priority section, still above public mempool - 00:04:34
    • ·Jannik opened PR to Lucid spec adding a validator-voted priority list for key publishers; voting weighted by effective balance, recomputed per epoch - 00:05:40
    • ·Key messages now require signatures to prevent impersonation of priority-listed publishers; BLS unsuitable since key publishers are EL addresses — signing scheme unresolved - 00:08:42
    • ·max-preceding-commitments removed from Lucid to avoid conflict with new priority-list ordering; authors' feedback requested - 00:10:03
    • ·Top-of-block fee retained for congestion control within the priority section; ordering inside that section remains fee-based, not key-publisher-trust-based, to avoid collusion effects - 00:26:09
Action Items
  • •Justin Florentine, Ander, Julian - Review Lucid PR (shutter-network/EIPs#1); focus on Engine API changes and priority-list propagation from EL to CL - 00:13:00
  • •Justin Florentine - Escalate optionality concerns and priority-list PR to Tama for review - 00:13:44
  • •All attendees - Review Lucid priority-list PR and provide comments; consult local CL contacts - 00:30:18

Key decisions

  • Top-of-block fee kept; ordering within priority section remains fee-based (not trust-rank-based)

    Fee-based ordering is retained within the priority section to provide congestion control and mitigate potential collusion effects.
  • Priority section admission is binary (≥50% validator support = in), not ranked by degree of trust

    Admission to the priority list for key publishers is determined by a simple majority of validator support rather than a graduated ranking system.
