Solana: Increasing competition among block producers may be a potential solution to the MEV problem

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko said in a post that a realistic solution to MEV might be to maximize competition among existing block producers and let users choose which block producer they want to package their transactions with. Yakovenko says this is still an engineering problem, but not impossible to achieve. The more block producers are scheduled per second, the less time users have to wait for the best packaged offer, which can be improved by lower block spacing, parallel processing, faster node rotation, and so on. The market will make choices about these issues, and it is important that users are willing to submit their transactions to this type of block auction.
