Marinade Finance's new proposal proposes to deal with malicious validators and democratize MEV on Solana

Marinade Finance, a liquidity staking platform on Solana, is discussing a governance proposal to deal with malicious validator nodes and democratize MEV (maximum extractable value). Marinade proposed a "balanced" approach to reduce harmful MEV while fairly distributing related benefits through an open market. The proposal suggests the establishment of a public committee to oversee delegation behavior and blacklist malicious validator nodes. In addition, it is recommended to reopen public trading pools to prevent MEV traffic from being concentrated in a few private trading pools, and to propose funding for MEV research to improve transparency and data access. Researchers pointed out that the current MEV centralization problem is intensifying, especially sandwich attacks that threaten Solana's decentralization. Marinade hopes to seek community feedback through governance proposals, and ultimately vote and implement them based on opinions. (The Block)
