ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the liquid staking platform Marinade Finance on Solana is discussing a governance proposal to address malicious validator nodes and democratize MEV (Maximum Extractable Value).Marinade proposes a "balanced" approach that reduces harmful MEV while fairly distributing related profits through an open market. The proposal suggests establishing a public committee to oversee delegation activities and blacklist malicious validator nodes. Additionally, it recommends reopening public trading pools to prevent MEV flow concentration in a few private trading pools and proposes funding for MEV research to enhance transparency and data accessibility.Researchers point out that the current centralization issue of MEV is worsening, particularly with sandwich attack behaviors threatening Solana's decentralization. Marinade hopes to seek community feedback through the governance proposal and ultimately vote and implement based on the opinions received.
