A new episode of Talking Tokens features @jackoholleran discussing crucial developments in blockchain technology:
- Potential elimination of MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) at consensus level
- Development of MEV-resistant blockchain architectures
- Integration of AI optimization in chain design
- Practical approaches to move beyond crypto hype
This follows recent industry focus on cross-chain MEV, highlighted at the MEV Summit where experts explored value capture across different blockchains.
Can MEV be eliminated at the consensus level? š @jackoholleran joins @jacqmelinek on @_TalkingTokens to break down: ⢠MEV resistance ⢠AI-optimized chains ⢠Moving crypto beyond the hype Grab some popcorn and drop your thoughts š
Can MEV be eliminated at the consensus level? @jackoholleran, co-founder of @skalenetwork and co-creator of the recently launched @FAIR_Blockchain, thinks so. FAIR aims to be MEV-resistant, while prioritizing for AI optimization. He shares on @_TalkingTokens why crypto

BITE Protocol Whitepaper Released: A Consensus-Layer Solution to MEV

The BITE (Blockchain Integrated Threshold Encryption) Protocol whitepaper has been released, introducing a novel approach to eliminate MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks that have cost users nearly $2B since 2020. Key features: - Implements threshold encryption at consensus layer - Encrypts transactions before mempool entry - Decryption occurs only after finalization - No reliance on secondary networks The protocol's roadmap includes: 1. Transaction encryption 2. Smart contract data protection 3. Selective disclosure capabilities 4. Fully homomorphic encryption integration Read the whitepaper: [BITE Protocol Whitepaper](http://skale.space/BITEWhitePaper)

Decentralized AI Agents in Gaming: A Balanced Perspective

Industry experts Cedric Schmidt (ForumAILabs) and Andrew Saunders discuss the role of decentralized AI agents in game development. While these agents offer potential benefits in speed, quality, and cost-efficiency, they emphasize that successful games must be engaging even without AI features. Key points: - AI should enhance, not replace, core gameplay - Focus remains on creating fundamentally enjoyable games - ForumAILabs' NPC Maker demonstrates practical applications - Technology offers optimization opportunities in development process The experts suggest a measured approach to AI integration, prioritizing player experience over technological novelty.
