Problem Description
How Bitcoin L2s should be sequenced remains an open question. We aim to assess how today’s Ethereum rollup-sequencing approaches would influence Bitcoin mining incentives if ported over. This analysis should focus on (i) the rise of based rollups and (ii) the use of private mempools, exploring how lessons from proof-of-stake Ethereum translate to a proof-of-work setting. It should also examine how preconfirmation designs can operate in proof-of-work and ask how the need to propagate full mining templates—because a golden nonce is tied to specific block contents—constrains the solution space.
The difference in fees earned by MARA Pool and OCEAN who operate at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of allowed transactions.
