The liquidity staking platform Marinade Finance on Solana is currently discussing a governance proposal aimed at addressing malicious validator nodes and democratizing MEV (Maximal Extractable Value). This proposal suggests a 'balancing' solution that attempts to reduce harmful MEV while fairly distributing related profits through an open market. 🌐

The proposal recommends establishing a public committee to oversee delegation activities and blacklisting malicious validator nodes. Additionally, it suggests reopening public trading pools to prevent MEV traffic from concentrating in a few private trading pools. 🔍

To enhance transparency and data accessibility, the proposal also suggests funding for MEV research. Researchers note that the current centralization of MEV issues is worsening, particularly as sandwich attack behaviors threaten Solana's decentralization. Marinade seeks community feedback through the governance proposal, ultimately aiming to vote and implement based on the feedback received. 📊
