The blockchain trilemma presents a fundamental challenge in distributed systems: balancing **decentralization, security, and scalability**. Most networks can optimize for two of these properties, but achieving all three simultaneously remains difficult. **Key technical approaches** being explored: - **Layer 2 solutions** - Moving transactions off the main chain while maintaining security guarantees - **Sharding** - Splitting the network into parallel chains to increase throughput - **Consensus mechanism innovations** - New protocols that attempt to reduce the traditional trade-offs Different blockchain projects prioritize different aspects of the trilemma based on their use cases. Understanding these trade-offs helps evaluate which networks are suited for specific applications. [Read the full analysis](https://brnw.ch/21wZ64V)

**Maximal Extractable Value (MEV)** refers to the practice where validators and searchers reorder blockchain transactions to maximize profits. **How it works:** - Validators can reorder, insert, or censor transactions before they're confirmed - Common tactics include front-running, back-running, and sandwich attacks - These practices often extract value from regular traders **Solutions in development:** - Private mempools to hide pending transactions - Order flow auctions for fairer transaction processing - Intent-based execution systems **The bigger picture:** While MEV presents challenges for DeFi users, new protocols are working to redistribute this value more equitably rather than allowing unfair extraction.
