DESCRIPTION:This talk suggests that Ethereum’s response to MEV (Daian et 
 al. 2019) may be a contemporary case of what scholars call ‘private orde
 ring’ (Ellickson 1991): a pseudonymous\, digitally mediated and globally
  dispersed community (its ‘social layer’) mitigated a market failure a
 ffecting DeFi users without regulators\, much as diamond dealers (Bernstei
 n 1992)\, whalers (Ellickson 1989) and the Chicago Board of Trade (Lurie 1
 979) once did. Attendees will leave seeing MEV as a question of social nor
 ms and institutions as much as engineering\, and Ethereum as a test of whe
 ther self-governance can scale beyond the physically-proximate close-knit 
 communities scholars have traditionally studied.

DESCRIPTION:In this hands-on workshop\, participants will work through real
  Ethereum DeFi cases\, from MEV exploitation and resolution attempts to DP
 RK-linked protocol abuse and potential responses\, to explore how communit
 y norms and visions\, including “Defipunk” as a normative aspiration\,
  might become embedded in practice. They will leave with a broader underst
 anding of the trade-offs and live debates shaping DeFi while contributing 
 their insights to an Oxford doctoral research project (subject to consent)
 .
