This is why Ethereum needs PROF. MEV-Blocker, MEV-Share etc. operate in a very fragile trust model, and force users to choose between privacy and inclusion likelihood. PROF circumvents such tradeoffs and privacy risks. More info:

@pkedrosky The public doesn't care about decentralization per se it wants stuff to work. Centralization makes stuff work fast and at scale so even when it begins with the promise of decentralization competitive pressures push Web3 towards centralization behind the scenes.

re Wormhole hack: Is this a $300 million write off, or changes are being made to the protocol to recoup this loss? (Assuming that the attacker doesn't return the money) @wormholecrypto

@cargodog_ @gakonst Good point. Avalanche has a diff nature than some of the recent DAG-based protocols like Mysticeti. Avalanche has a lot of positives going for it, main one being: subsampling avoids all-to-all communication, which means it can scale to a large number of nodes (100s-1000s). 1/N
