tldr; Two Ethereum block builders, Beaverbuild and Titan Builder, produced 88.7% of blocks in the first two weeks of October, raising centralization concerns. This dominance could potentially allow prioritization of transactions, conflicting with blockchain’s decentralized ethos. However, Ryan Lee from Bitget Research suggests this doesn’t pose significant centralization risks. Despite this, concerns remain about validators exploiting maximal extractable value (MEV) incentives. The Ethereum validator count has increased, indicating positive decentralization trends.
