The End of Reordering Slippage: Introducing Placement Commitments
TL;DR: Placement commitments extend mev-commit preconfirmations beyond simple inclusion/execution guarantees by allowing bidders to specify where within a block their transaction should be placed. This provides practical protection against reordering slippage and enables precise execution strategies such as top-of-block liquidations or better retail trade pricing. By turning transaction placement into a priced market dimension, placement commitments open a new design space for managing execut...

Connecting Superchain to Ethereum with Sequencer Commitment Games
TL;DRSequencer Commitment Games (SCGs) give OP Stack rollups instant, trust-minimized transaction execution guarantees.No protocol changes needed: Integration via a lightweight sequencer side-car, without modifications to the rollup or Ethereum L1 core logic, enabling immediate adoption by existing OP Stack chains without forks or governance delays.Major UX upgrades: Delivers instant trade confirmations, trust-minimized bridging, and sub-10 ms inclusion guarantees. Reduces multi-minute or mul...

Robust Preconfirmations via Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Tl;drWhen preconfirmation providers open a commitment to claim rewards, they now have to prove in zero-knowledge that the bidder could also have opened it.The proof aligns provider incentives to act honestly in the protocol, and not make malicious commitments that they can reveal only when convenient.This extremely performant proof with only ~0.122 ms proving time and highly efficient proof verification is now available on mev-commit and can be used in low latency applications.IntroductionThe...

Tackling Blob Fee Slippage with Preconfirmations
TL;DRExcessive Blob Fee Slippage: Long inclusion times averaging 730 seconds exacerbated large fee spreads, which we coin as blob slippage, significantly increasing costs for rollups.Ineffective Blob Posting Strategies: Rollups employed various methods during the June 2024 congestion but failed to reduce blob inclusion times or mitigate fee slippage.Network Instability and Builder Censorship: The network experienced a spike in instability due to increased reorg rates, with approximately 10% o...

Pioneering End-to-End Privacy for Intra-Block Commitments
tl;dr (1) mev-commit introduces two novel cryptographic primitives ARUBE and DPCOM that together provide end-to-end privacy in mev-commit. (2) ARUBE provides privacy and anonymity for bidders against all third-parties. (3) DPCOM provides privacy and anonymity for providers issuing commitments to bids. Combined, these mechanisms create a robust privacy framework that prevents bidders and providers from unintentionally disclosing information about their actions and intentions. Additionally, bot...
