Eden Network zbira 17 milijonov USD za zaščito pred zlonamernimi MEV

Denar tveganega kapitala se nenehno preliva v inovativne kripto in decentralizirane finančne projekte, zadnji prejemnik pa je Eden Network.

Eden is a priority transaction network for Ethereum that offers protection against miner extractable value (MEV) and front-running. Multicoin Capital led a $17.4 million funding round with participation from Jump Capital, Alameda Research, Wintermute, GSR, Defiance Capital, and Yearn Finance founder, Andre Cronje.

Sredstva so zbrali s prodajo žetonov EDEN, ekipa pa bo s kapitalom izboljšala infrastrukturo, povečala posvojitev in razširila svojo obstoječo ekipo za deset oseb.

Zaščita MEV v akciji

The Eden Network went live with Ethereumova londonska trda vilica on Aug. 5 in a bid to help users prioritize their transactions while protecting them against MEV.

Multicoin Capital explained the issue of miner extractable value in a Sept. 8 blog post announcing the funding round. Ethereum miners have the power to select and prioritize which transactions are included in a block, which gives them opportunities for profits. According to the venture company, MEV on Ethereum is estimated to be more than $700 million since the beginning of 2021.

There are different types of miner front-running, but the most basic one is arbitrage between decentralizirane izmenjave, it explains.

“If the price of an asset is different between Odklopite and SushiSwap, there is a guaranteed profit to be made by the first trader who can execute the arbitrage.”

Dodal je, da proizvajalec bloka izbere, katera transakcija bo prva v tem bloku, in se lahko odloči, kdo bo zaslužil ta arbitražni dobiček. Obstajajo tudi druge oblike bolj zlonamernega MEV, kot so sprednji tek in "sendvič napadi", ki manipulirajo z verigo blokov zgolj zaradi dobička.

Zaradi tega je celoten sistem "manj varen, manj stabilen in manj učinkovit ter ima izključno vrednost," je navedel Multicoin Capital.

Žetoni EDEN imajo prednost

Eden works by prioritizing blocks where EDEN tokens have been staked, protecting from MEV, and providing better price execution. It terjatve to already represent 54.7% of Ethereum’s hash rate.

Mreža ustvarja prihodke proizvajalcem blokov Eden v obliki svojih žetonov, hkrati pa blaži slabo vedenje. Oddaja prednostne bloke v blokih Eden "Slot Tenants" prek "Slot Auctions" za projekte, ki želijo dobiti zaščito pred MEV.  

The Eden Network is formerly known as Archer DAO which raised $1 million last year selling ARCH tokens. Its EDEN token has surged 47% on the day to trade at $9 at the time of writing according to CoinGecko.
