PANews reported on December 11 that Marinade Finance, a liquid staking platform on Solana, is discussing a governance proposal to address malicious validator nodes and democratize MEV (Maximum Extractable Value). Marinade proposes a 'balancing' solution that reduces harmful MEV while fairly distributing related profits through an open market. The proposal suggests establishing a public committee to supervise delegation behavior and blacklist malicious validator nodes. In addition, it suggests reopening public trading pools to prevent MEV flow concentration in a small number of private trading pools and proposes funding for MEV research to enhance transparency and data access capabilities.
Researchers point out that the current centralization problem of MEV is intensifying, especially the threat of sandwich attacks to Solana's decentralization. Marinade hopes to seek community feedback through a governance proposal and ultimately vote and implement based on the opinions.
