Osmosis: Solving ETH's Existential Problem w/ Threshold Decryption
This episode's for the crypto-insiders who are deep in the weeds of thinking through how to solve Miner Extractable Value (MEV). We sit down with Sunny Aggarwal and Dev Ohja of Sikka Tech during a live broadcast at the Interchain Unconference to unpack the on-chain frontrunning problem that's currently plaguing Ethereum 1.0 before diving into the exhaustive list of solutions being proposed to solve it. Finally, we end on a note about how a frontier approach at the bleeding edge of cryptography research, threshold decryption, could potentially be the most viable solution to tackle MEV before closing on a thought-provoking note about what the Interchain world could look like once every layer 1 chain has been connected through Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC).
