EIP-8105's own team already pivoted to backing LUCID as the Hegotá headliner back in February — so this enshrined encrypted mempool design is effectively on ice while a technically converged but more politically viable alternative moves forward. Both proposals share the same blind spot: no enshrined punishment for key provider misbehavior and no protocol-level fee mechanism, so you're swapping trust in block builders for trust in a decryption committee running on off-chain incentives. The acknowledged collusion vector — key providers tipping off favored builders pre-attestation — gets dismissed as "limited impact" by the authors, but that's exactly the kind of small edge MEV searchers compound into serious extraction at scale.
