Experience
Intern student, Master Thesis
KU, Leuven 2025 - 2025
This thesis aims to evaluate the feasibility and security implications of implementing Encrypted Mempool(EM), single-slot finality(SSF) and proposer-builder separation (PBS) in Ethereum’s consensus layer. The study involves: understanding Ethereum’s current consensus mechanism, SSF, EM, and PBS. Reviewing existing solutions for SSF, EM and PBS. Identifying security vulnerabilities in these solutions. Proposing new methods to address these vulnerabilities.
