For example, scarce resources like blockspace require careful pricing. Block rewards, transaction fees, and maximal extracted value (MEV) must be shared across the stakeholders in the system, and participants must be incentivized appropriately. Subtle game theory governs the interactions between block builders, block proposers, and end users. Many of these economic and game-theoretic challenges are specific to the blockchain application domain, necessitating new models, new mechanisms, and new analysis frameworks. This two-day workshop will bring together practitioners, researchers, and academics to discuss challenges, recent progress, and opportunities in the economics of blockchain protocols. The workshop will consist of invited keynote presentations, contributed talks, and panel discussions, and will include sessions on: *MEV mitigation *Restaking *Block co-creation *Transaction fee mechanisms *Layer 2 sequencing and interoperability *Layer 1 macroeconomics Hosts: *Briger Family Digital Finance Lab at Columbia Business School *School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University *Ethereum Foundation Organizers: *Davide Crapis (Ethereum Foundation) *Justin Drake (Ethereum Foundation) *Ciamac Moallemi (Columbia Business School / Paradigm) *Barnabé Monnot (Ethereum Foundation) *Mike Neuder (Ethereum Foundation) *Tim Roughgarden (Columbia Engineering / a16z crypto)
