Proposal for Whisk: a privacy-preserving protocol for electing block proposers on the Ethereum beacon chain designed by George Kadianakis
The beacon chain currently elects the next 32 block proposers at the beginning of each epoch. The results of this election are public and everyone gets to learn the identity of those future block proposers. This information leak enables attackers to launch DoS attacks against each proposer sequentially in an attempt to disable Ethereum. To fix this issue a SSLE strategy is proposed. Whisk is a privacy-preserving protocol for electing block proposers on the Ethereum beacon chain designed by George Kadianakis.
