World Chain, a layer-2 blockchain connected to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, introduces Priority Blockspace for Humans (PBH) to prioritize real humans over bots for faster transactions. Bots congest blockchains, with up to 80% of transactions automated. Flashbots collaborates on the human-focused mechanism to combat Miner/MEV bots.
PBH collaborates include Flashbots, Optimism, Alchemy, and Nethermind. World addresses the bot issue, highlighting the usefulness of some bots and aiming to help users differentiate between human and synthetic interactions. Former Binance CEO calls for banning all bots, raising questions about big tech prioritizing user experience over automation.
PBH introduces a new transaction ordering dimension based on humanness, ensuring Orb-verified users have priority access during congestion. The World team aims to provide reliable transaction inclusion without competition from bots. Industry leaders debate the impact of banning bots on user experience.
