🚨 Ethereum is not trying to be faster.
It is trying to be harder to censor.
Today, few builders create most of the blocks.
This is efficient.
But concentrated efficiency = concentrated power.
And concentrated power creates veto risk.
🔒 The FOCIL (EIP-7805) changes the game.
With each block:
• A random committee of validators publishes inclusion lists
• The proposer is required to comply
• The attestors oversee
It’s not goodwill.
It’s the protocol rule.
Builders continue to exist.
But the simple veto ceases to exist.
Censoring now requires coordination against a group that changes all the time.
▶️ The cost rises.
▶️ The friction increases.
▶️ Neutrality strengthens.
While many networks pursue speed...
Ethereum is strengthening resistance.
And in the long run?
Neutrality > Throughput.
The final question is simple:
Do you want a fast blockchain?
Or a blockchain that is hard to control?$ETH
