This section will present manipulation resistance analysis as the research program progresses.
Attack Vectors
Analysis of potential attack vectors including:
- Spam transactions to manipulate basefee
- Empty block mining strategies
- Off-chain fee agreements between miners and users
L-Smoothing Resistance
Evaluation of how the backward-looking fee distribution (l-smoothing) mechanism mitigates these attacks by diluting manipulation incentives across multiple blocks.
Parameter Sensitivity
Analysis of how different values of BACKWARD_FEES_BLOCK_COUNT affect manipulation resistance.
