(4/5) Should your #blockchain be #EVM-compatible? This paper says yes, but notes that non-EVM-compatible blockchains can attract users by offering better features/products.

Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) is generally viewed as a parasitic aspect of blockchain transactions, but it doesn’t have to be bad for crypto social welfare. Read about a new scheme for Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks that redistributes a small portion of MEV revenue to increase staking returns.
Payment Channel Networks (PCNs) enable fast off-chain transactions, but they introduce serious privacy issues. Conventional solutions can cause low success rates, but check out a paper that solves these issues with a PCN built with zk-SNARKS.

Should your blockchain be EVM-compatible? This paper catalogs the many advantages, but also notes that non-EVM-compatible chains can attract users by offering better features/products.
