I work for Nethermind as an Ethereum core developer, and am interested in protocol research, applying cryptoeconomics to keep Ethereum censorship resistant. Recently, I have worked on implementing support for the Shutter encrypted mempool in the Nethermind client.

This talk will explore the future of encrypted mempools, paving the way to enshrinement on Ethereum L1. Starting from current designs such as Shutter and SUAVE, security assumptions and out-of-protocol infrastructure can be stripped away with cryptography including homomorphic encryption, VDFs, and delay encryption. These approaches would trustlessly bring front running protection and censorship resistance to the protocol.
