Censorship resistance through game theory

AI summary of the linked article

Proposal argues that relays should disclose more metadata about winning blocks, such as transaction hashes, so validators can decide whether to delegate block building based on their own preferences and reduce censorship by block builders. The author suggests this would make including all valid transactions the dominant strategy for builders, and notes that it needs no hard fork, only changes to the relay spec, consensus layer client and minor execution client changes. The article's payoff matrix models a builder and proposer game, concluding that mutual acceptance of transactions yields the best outcome. The author also acknowledges that relays may leak some information to other builders as a possible downside.
