In a joint work with @BenBerg07141321 @EdFelten, Benny Sudakov, we study censorship attack during a challenge protocol of an optimistic rollup. Block proposers, who control transaction inclusion on base layer, can be bribed by an adversary to exclude honest party's transactions.

We looked into the option of selling multiple TimeBoost licenses. While having multiple arbitrageurs with time advantage has obvious advantages and disadvantages, there is a considerable probability one monopolist will buy all of them, given extra value from owning all licenses

In a new paper ( https://t.co/yqkQZ4JtBl) with Minghao Pan and Christoph Schlegel, we look into Sybil(Sibyl)-proof mechanisms. We show that the only non-wasteful, incentive compatible and Sybil-proof mechanism is a second price auction. A🧵:

We show that in the single-parameter mechanism design environment, the only non-wasteful, symmetric, incentive compatible and Sybil-proof direct mechanism is a second price auction with symmetric...

Since fraud proof security is in the news-with some questioning whether it even matters if a fraud proof system is secure-let’s review Arbitrum’s approach to protecting user funds with fraud proofs. This is my view but I think it’s widely held in the community. 🧵

Arbitrum has just processed over 1 BILLION transactions across One and Nova. We've come so far as an ecosystem, and yet our growth has only just begun. Thank you for building with us. 🤝💙

Proud of the whole @OffchainLabs team for making this happen-especially our research team for the heavy lifting to make sure this groundbreaking protocol is secure by design, and proven secure. Want a technical deep dive?

We’re thrilled to see Arbitrum BOLD live in testnet! Since Arbitrum’s inception, Offchain Labs’ focus has been aligning with Ethereum’s vision of decentralized rollups. The BOLD public testnet is the next step in its journey to becoming a Stage 2 rollup.

Just to highlight how much of a laughing stock the BBC is now, an Israeli satirical programme made fun of them and it’s pretty spot on.
