Why does my pending transaction expose its full intent to builders before it is included?
機会
FOCIL (EIP-7805) targets censorship of which transactions get included and is slated for the Hegota upgrade in late 2026. It does nothing to hide transaction content from builders before a block is finalized. Builders can still read every pending transaction in clear text and extract value through sandwiching or discriminatory ordering before inclusion. The encrypted mempool proposal LUCID is the intended complement but remains in active design: threshold decryption requires a committee to reconstruct secrets, and the protocol aborts or stalls if a threshold of committee members goes offline. Until that design is finalized and deployed at scale, FOCIL and ePBS together prevent censorship at the inclusion layer while leaving pre-inclusion extraction structurally untouched.
重要な理由
Transaction content privacy before inclusion is the missing piece that prevents builders from using ordering power to extract value from users regardless of which inclusion or auction mechanism is in place.
