Censorship resistance and decentralization have long been core principles of public blockchains, yet Ethereum faces increasing threats from real-time transaction censorship, particularly impacting DeFi users. The current Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) supply chain has led to severe centralization, with two builders controlling over 80% of blocks and half of all relays censoring transactions. A promising approach to address this is the "Holy Trinity of Censorship Resistance", a combination of enshrined PBS (ePBS), FOCIL (Fork-Choice enforced Inclusion Lists), and encrypted mempools. This approach can even be extended by using Smart Accounts which give users more control over the transaction inclusion process. While this proposal has the potential to restore Ethereum’s fairness and neutrality, challenges remain, particularly around the encrypted mempool design. Those challenges include designing a generalized encryption interface that supports multiple encryption mechanisms, ensuring that encrypted transactions remain decryptable despite changing encryption parameters, and guaranteeing a timely decryption of transactions.

In this talk we will discuss how these 3 pillars can work together and how they can be extended by Smart Accounts. Additionally, we will show a (Gnosis Chain) mainnet demo of the encrypted mempool in action from an end user perspective.
