FOCIL [Minimize Power of Builders]
In this episode of Deeply Intents (🎙️,🎧), I chat with @soispoke from the Robust Incentives Group (RIG) at the EF.
Here we both steelman and strawman FOCIL. But more importantly, we discuss the meaningful user facing affordances provided by FOCIL.
In particular, we discuss:
- History of ILs
- Weak & Strong censorship
- FOCIL (Fork-choice enforced Inclusion Lists)
- Addressing the criticism directly
- How FOCIL defends Ethereum's moat
- Governance and EIP process
