Although fairly unrelated at first glance, MEV is currently *the* bottleneck for a censorship-resistant Ethereum. This talk will first explore why MEV and censorship resistance are fundamentally counterforces. Then, we will dive into how MEV constrains the design space of censorship-resistant gadgets like Inclusion Lists and Concurrent Block Producers. What does the future of censorship resistance look like for Ethereum?

He now leads technical development for CoW Protocol, a decentralized trading protocol using Batch Auctions. Focusing on MEV-resistant mechanisms tha ensure efficient and fair price finding. Started working at Gnosis, he developed fair exchange mechanisms, evolving into CoW Protocol.
