Ethereum Core Developers Introduce EIP-7732
Ethereum core developers have announced the release of EIP-7732, which is the formal specification for Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS). EIP-7732 is an upgrade specific to the consensus layer, separating the execution verification from consensus verification and embedding PBS directly into Ethereum’s consensus layer. PBS refers to the separation of block proposers and builders. EIP-7732 includes modifications to the beacon chain, fork selection rules, P2P communication, and allows validators to act as builders. Builders are complex participants who construct blocks to extract MEV. ePBS provides a trustless exchange between proposers and builders, enabling validators to efficiently utilize CPU. The implementation includes a Payload Timeliness Committee (PTC), where a subset of the validator committee votes on the timeliness of builder payload submissions. The design of EIP-7732 is also compatible with future upgrades, such as inclusion lists.
