  • Roast Master of the week: Tom Schmidt (in absentia)
  • Roast Questions:
    Q1. In every problem space, there are known unknowns and unknown unknowns. Flashbots is currently uncovering the known unknowns around MEV. How large do you anticipate the unknown unknowns are in relation to the known?
    Q2. In a potential future world where the majority of economic activity on Ethereum moves to an L2 w/ built-in sequencing, what’s the role of generalized L1 MEV tools?
    Q3. Should protocols and their users have rights to protocol-specific MEV / should a portion of MEV go back to users or the DAO? If so, how might such a mechanism work?
    Q4. In some ways, MEV resembles something like climate change: a looming existential collective action problem, but with negative effects that are too difficult to feel on an individual or local level. What’s the most important thing we need to do to get people to care?
