We delve into the intricate dynamics of Solana's validator ecosystem, focusing on the implications of MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) and the implementation of Stake-weighted Quality of Service (QoS). Host DeGatchi, alongside Simpdigit, explores how these mechanisms enhance validator operations, improve network security, and optimize transaction processing. The discussion covers the ethical and technical challenges of MEV practices, such as transaction sandwiching, and the benefits of Stake-weighted QoS in ensuring high-quality service for staked validators. This episode provides valuable insights for blockchain enthusiasts, DeFi investors, and anyone interested in the future of decentralized networks and blockchain infrastructure.Follow Scraping Bits on Twitter: https://x.com/scrapingbitsYour Host, DeGatchi: https://x.com/DeGatchiGuest Speaker: https://x.com/simpdigitPlease support this podcast by checking out our sponsors:https://x.com/ComposableFinhttps://x.com/mevdotiohttps://x.com/0xPFLKeywords: solo auditor, public auditing platforms, private audits, scalability, freedom, Scraping Bits podcast, blockchain technology, audit industry, flashbots, reverse engineering, cybersecurity, infosec, mev, mev bot, quant.

In episode #88 of the Scraping Bits podcast, host DeGatchi interviews Michael Moser, the research lead at ChorusOne, to explore the complexities of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) in blockchain ecosystems. They discuss ChorusOne's innovative approaches to MEV, focusing on Solana's MEV validator dynamics, the implications of Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) timing games on Ethereum, and the ethical considerations surrounding orderbook MEV. Moser shares insights from ChorusOne's latest research, emphasizing the importance of transparency and collaboration between validators and the community to mitigate negative externalities and maintain a fair playing field for all participants.
