+# Study Group Week 8 | MEV and censorship resistance
+
+This research talk is dedicated to MEV and censorship resistance, discusses the current state and proposals being worked on. 
+
+Join the presentation by [Barnabé Monnot](https://twitter.com/barnabemonnot) from Robust Incentives Group on [Wednesday, April 10, 3PM UTC](https://savvytime.com/converter/utc-to-germany-berlin-united-kingdom-london-china-shanghai-ny-new-york-city-japan-tokyo-australia-sydney-india-delhi-argentina-buenos-aires/apr-10-2024/3pm).
+
+The talk will be streamed live on [StreamEth](https://streameth.org/65cf97e702e803dbd57d823f/epf_study_group) and [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@ethprotocolfellows/streams), links will be provided before the call in the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/addwpQbhpq). Discord also serves for the discussion and questions during the stream. 
+
+## Pre-reading
+
+Before starting with the week 8 development content, make yourself familiar with resources in previous weeks, especially week 5. It's important to understand the current architecture of the protocol, existence of MEV and implications of PBS.
+
+Additionally, you can get ready by studying the following resources:
+
+- [MEV basics](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/mev/)
+- [RIG projects](https://ethereum.github.io/rig/)
+- [Wiki on MEV and PBS](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/protocol-studies/tree/pbs/docs/wiki/research/PBS)
+
+## Outline
+
+- MEV issues and current state 
+- Staking economics proposals
+    - Censorship resistance
+    - Execution tickets
+
+## Additional reading and exercises 
+

 Patricia tries are designed to be more space-efficient than traditional trie structures by eliminating redundant nodes with single children. They achieve compactness by sharing prefixes among keys. This means that common prefixes are shared among different keys, reducing the overall storage requirements.

+## Merkle Patricia Trie in Ethereum
 
 Ethereum's primary data structure for storing the execution layer state is a **Merkle Patricia Trie** (pronounced "try"). It is named so, since it is a Merkle tree that uses features of PATRICIA (Practical Algorithm To Retrieve Information Coded in Alphanumeric), and because it is designed for efficient data retrieval of items that comprise the Ethereum state.
