They discuss the recent exploit in the MEV Boost codebase, the Department of Justice's response, and the ongoing efforts to solve MEV.

Takeaways |
- The recent exploit in the MEV Boost code base highlights the ongoing battle to solve MEV and the need for more decentralized solutions.
- Restaking is a market to rent economic security and work from an open market, and there are different approaches to restaking, such as native restaking and non-native restaking.
- Lido aims to make staked ETH the dominant asset in Ethereum DeFi and stimulate demand for renting security with StakeETH.
- The design differences between Eigenlayer and Symbiotic in the restaking ecosystem offer different trade-offs in terms of capital efficiency and spillover effects.
- Censorship resistance in Ethereum can be addressed through inclusion lists, private memepools, and geographical/geopolitical diversity in the network.
