Shared Sequencing and Latency Competition as a Noisy Contest
Akaki Mamageishvili, Jan Christoph Schlegel
We study shared sequencing for different chains from an economic angle. We introduce a minimal non-trivial model that captures cross-domain arbitrageurs' behavior and compare the p…
EIP-4844 Economics and Rollup Strategies
Davide Crapis, Edward W. Felten, Akaki Mamageishvili
We study the economics of the Ethereum improvement proposal 4844 and its effect on rollups' data posting strategies. Rollups' cost consists of two parts: data posting and delay. In…
Incentive Schemes for Rollup Validators
Akaki Mamageishvili, Edward W. Felten
We design and analyze attention games that incentivize validators to check computation results. We show that no pure strategy Nash equilibrium of the game without outside parties e…
Buying Time: Latency Racing vs. Bidding in Transaction Ordering
Akaki Mamageishvili, Mahimna Kelkar, Jan Christoph Schlegel +1
We design TimeBoost: a practical transaction ordering policy for rollup sequencers that takes into account both transaction timestamps and bids; it works by creating a score from t…

Hans Gersbach, Akaki Mamageishvili, Fikri Pitsuwan
Systems and blockchains often have security vulnerabilities and can be attacked by adversaries, with potentially significant negative consequences. Therefore, infrastructure provid…
