Marinade Finance's new proposal suggests addressing malicious validation nodes and democratizing MEV on Solana

On December 11, Marinade Finance, a liquidity staking platform on Solana, is discussing a governance proposal to address malicious validator nodes and democratize MEV (Maximum Extractable Value). Marinade proposes adopting a "balanced" approach that reduces harmful MEV while fairly distributing related profits through an open market. The proposal suggests establishing a public committee to oversee delegation behavior and blacklist malicious validator nodes. In addition, it recommends reopening the public trading pool to prevent MEV traffic from concentrating in private trading pools and proposes funding for MEV research to enhance transparency and data acquisition capabilities. Researchers point out that the current centralization problem of MEV is intensifying, especially sandwich attacks threatening Solana's decentralization. Marinade hopes to seek community feedback through the governance proposal and ultimately vote and implement based on opinions. (The Block)
