RFP: Ethereum censorability monitor

Projects
15

Thanks Lido for this RFP!

Here’s the P2P Team and our proposal - the Ethereum Censorship Monitor.

Our proposal satisfies all criteria for the first grant:

  1. Tracks the current and historical metrics of service degradation for censorable transactions

We are monitoring the main indicators and metrics since February 10th, 2022: time delay, block delay, censoring addresses, mev-relays, mev-builders, Lido validators etc.

  1. Tracks the impact of Lido and Lido’s node operators on service degradation

In our research and dashboard we consider Lido validators and compare these with others. Also in our paper we made statistical analysis impact of Lido on service degradation.

  1. Provides API, or, preferably, an open dataset to work with

We provide Google Bigquery Datasets (p2p-data-warehouse.p2p_public.eth_mev_censored,
p2p-data-warehouse.p2p_public.eth_missed_blocks_metrics) which contains all main indicators and metrics to analyse influencing of censorship on service degradation in Ethereum.

  1. Is likely to be maintained long term (low complexity, low cost of maintenance, other sources of funding are a plus)

Our DWH system is automated and scalable and increasing the dataset is not a problem for our solution.

  1. Tracks the impact of Lido and Lido’s node operators to service degradation compared to the other staking pools and operators in staking pools, where applicable

We marked only Lido validators so far. So, we analysed it in the subgroup Lido / Non-Lido. But we are planning to mark all other validators to deeply research.

  1. Is open-source

We released open-source:

  • Google Bigquery Dataset p2p-data-warehouse.p2p_public.eth_mev_censored, p2p-data-warehouse.p2p_public.eth_missed_blocks_metrics

  • Dashboard in Superset
