Appreciate all the thoughtful insights from everyone. I deliberately left side deal details out of proposal, preferring instead of focus on highlighting the misalignment of incentives.

This proposal is not aimed at eliminating all potential side deals, but to realign validator interests in a way that encourages more on-chain activities.

It’s assumed block producers always act in the best interests of themselves and their stakers, removing one obvious interests misalignment might help them to focus on building more valuable blocks.
