Modular Summit's PBS.day: Keeping Crypto Decentralized is co-created by Flashbots, bringing together leading researchers such as Vitalik Buterin, Jon Charbonneau, Tarun Chitra, and more. Join us on July 21 at 2:00pm at Modular Summit as we navigate through the PBS design space from the elegant PEPC proposal to the latest version of the enshrined PBS (ePBS) design PTC.

  • Builders and More Advanced Forms of Aggregation
    2023. July 22
    15:40
    Speakers:
    Vitalik Buterin

    As the Ethereum ecosystem starts taking scalability, privacy and account security more seriously, we start seeing the need for more advanced forms of "aggregation" when combining user operations into a block. So far, this has started to include ERC-4337 bundling with its aggregate signature feature, but in the future such aggregation will include proofs of L2 state, a single recursive SNARK replacing many application-layer SNARKs, and perhaps even state update proof bundling across different L2s. This will add more load to the builder ecosystem. I will talk about what kinds of aggregation we may end up seeing, and the challenges in creating standardized open mempools or maximally decentralized markets for performing this type of aggregation.

  • Design Trade-offs in Proposals for Sequencer Decentralization

  • PBS on Shared Sequencing Layers and PBS design for Responsive Consensus Protocol
    2023. July 22
    17:20
    Speakers:
    Ben Fisch

    In a shared sequencer layer for L2 rollups, proposer-builder separation can be leveraged to achieve strong interoperability of applications across rollups with economic safety. The second part of the talk focusses on PBS design in a decentralized sequencing layer that uses a responsive consensus protocol for fast-finality and thus has no fixed block time. It has some advantages and also presents some unique challenges.

  • Exploring MEV Capture in Modular Systems
