The Ethereum Foundation’s Barnabé Monnot introduced an “execution tickets” mechanism at the EthCC conference. The goal is to reduce block proposer monopolistic power by using a protocol auction for transaction execution and ordering rights, thereby increasing transparency and fairness.

This mechanism is a core proposal of the Ethereum roadmap’s “Scourge” phase, and it will effectively prevent transaction censorship.
