An Ethereum researcher proposed a solution to address centralization issues and eliminate MEV

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, an Ethereum researcher has proposed a new block proposal solution aimed at democratizing Ethereum's currently centralized block building process by implementing a "shared random algorithm."

The anonymous researcher Malik672 stated in an article that "decentralized random block proposals" would utilize Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) to eliminate the maximum extractable value at the block level, fully achieving the democratization of block proposals and potentially accelerating propagation—the process of broadcasting transactions to network validators.

According to Malik672's proposal, all Ethereum clients (rather than a few builders) would construct blocks through a cryptographic random algorithm. This random selection would prevent profit-driven manipulation strategies from affecting Ethereum users. The solution would better align with Ethereum's "trustless root" while still being compatible with the blob requirements of Danksharding—the solution aims to scale Ethereum L2. Malik672 added that the solution could even reduce the time slot duration from 12 seconds to around 6 to 8 seconds.
