FRPs - Flashbots Research Proposals
1

Flashbots Research Proposals (FRPs) are MEV research projects submitted by the community to Flashbots research for collaboration and support.

Anybody can submit a research proposal for consideration. Upon community review, proposals will be considered toward our research, and might become eligible for a grant.

Find out more about our research process, ongoing FRPs, and the grants we issue.

Please use this area of our forum to:

  • Share posts that result from FRP work

  • Open threads to comment on active or closed FRPs

  • Suggest areas of exploration for new FRPs

  • Seek FRP collaborators from the MEV research community

Please note that the formal submission process for FRPs is through Github. If you wish to submit an FRP for consideration, do so here.

I suggest we completely let go of GitHub, unifying our communication platform and using it only for code.

We can move the process to the forum, with tags for the status: draft, proposed, accepted/rejected, active, completed.

Hello Flashbots Community,

I’m Emad Al-Shamiri, Founder & Builder of the Dollar1usd Protocol on Layer Infinity.

I’ve been closely following the discussions on infrastructure challenges and have identified three core issues that I believe are critical to the ecosystem’s future :

  1. Infrastructure Incompatibility: The incomplete and sporadic support for EIP-7702 in legacy Bundlers (including some within the Flashbots ecosystem) creates “Unsupported Address Type” errors and risks asset entrapment .
  2. Centralized Builder Hegemony: The dominance of a few centralized Builders (e.g., Titan, Flashbots relays) introduces censorship risks and a form of “Shadow Centralization,” which contradicts the goal of a permissionless network .
  3. The “Protocol Lock” Dilemma: Fragmented liquidity and the complexity of managing assets across multiple wallets with excessive gas costs remain unsolved for most users .

To address these, I’m building Layer Infinity, a universal abstraction protocol that introduces:

· An Infinity Delegation Engine (IDE): A secure proxy-delegation system with emergency EOA reversion to bypass builder failure and ensure the private key remains the ultimate root of trust.
· A Sovereign Relayer: A decentralized relay network that prioritizes protocol compliance over MEV extraction, ensuring transactions for delegated accounts are never dropped.
· Gas-Optimized Batching (GOB): A mechanism to reduce multi-chain transaction costs by up to 40%.

My deployed infrastructure is anchored at:

I believe the solutions being built for Dollar1usd align with Flashbots’ mission to illuminate the dark forest. I’m here to engage with the community, share research, and contribute to building a more resilient and decentralized infrastructure.

Code is Truth.
