PANews reported on March 2 that according to Ccointelegraph, an Ethereum researcher proposed a new block proposal solution that aims to democratize Ethereum’s current centralized block construction process by implementing a “shared random algorithm.”

Anonymous researcher Malik672 said in a post that "decentralized random block proposals" will use Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) to eliminate the maximum extractable value at the block level, fully democratize block proposals, and may accelerate propagation - the process of broadcasting transactions to network validators.

Under Malik672’s proposal, all Ethereum clients (rather than a few builders) would build blocks through a cryptographically random algorithm. This random selection would prevent profit-oriented manipulation strategies from affecting Ethereum users. The solution would better align with Ethereum’s “trustless root” while still being compatible with the blob requirements of Danksharding — an attempt to scale Ethereum L2. Malik672 added that the solution could even reduce slot times from 12 seconds to around 6 to 8 seconds.
