TechFlow news, December 11 — According to The Block, Marinade Finance, a liquid staking platform on Solana, is discussing a governance proposal aimed at addressing malicious validators and democratizing MEV (Maximum Extractable Value).
Marinade proposes a "balanced" approach that reduces harmful MEV while fairly distributing associated revenues through an open market. The proposal suggests establishing a public committee to oversee delegation activities and blacklist malicious validators. Additionally, it recommends reopening the public transaction pool to prevent MEV flow from concentrating in a few private pools, and proposes funding MEV research to enhance transparency and data accessibility.
Researchers have pointed out that MEV centralization is worsening, with sandwich attacks in particular posing a threat to Solana's decentralization. Marinade hopes to gather community feedback through this governance proposal, followed by voting and implementation based on the input received.
