Titania Research is a research organization established to solve the problem of MEV, known as the dark forest. Named after the fairy queen Titania, who possesses the ability to resolve the dark forest, we contribute to the issue of fairness in Ethereum by researching and developing solutions from both protocol and application.
1. About Us
Titania Research is a research organization working on research and development of Ethereum MEV problems. We do not only focus on research, but aim to develop solutions and contribute to Ethereum. This includes software, supply chain and security research and development, primarily based on our knowledge in mechanism design, computer science and cryptography.
2. Mission, Vision and Values
- Mission “Contribute to Ethereum”: The goal is to contribute to Ethereum from the aspect of MEV by researching and developing solution to problem such as centralization and censorship. Promoting problem-solving to expand Ethereum as a free space for humanity.
- Vision "From competition to contribution”: From the conventional idea of competing and winning, we will focus on the idea of contributing to and distributing the ecosystem and creating a new competitive environment and seek to solve problems.
- Value "Open Source”: We inherit ethereum's open, permissionless, and free culture, by openly discussing and developing issues, we aim to achieve our mission, our activity is publicly available, allowing anyone to find areas where they can contribute.
3. Motivation
Consensus protocols are typically evaluated based on their ability to maintain liveness and safety. Liveness means that new transactions are added to the output ledger in a timely manner, and safety means that confirmed transactions remain in their location in the ledger.
However, maintaining decentralization also requires economic fairness among consensus participants. The emergence of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) impedes this goal of fairness. And the negative impact of MEV on fairness will affect not only consensus but also applications.
4. Our Work
- Mechanism Design and Analysis: Conduct mechanism design and analysis on protocol applications.
- Software Design, Implementation, and Operation: Develop software on distributed computers including mechanism design, encryption, and distributed verification technologies.
- Collaborative Research and Development: Partner with academic institutions, industry leaders, and other research organizations to advance the field of MEV mitigation and blockchain fairness.
If you are interested, please let us know your requirements and specific academic or technical requirements.

6. Outcome
The expected outcomes of our core work are open source in principle. They are free for anyone to use. This approach is consistent with our core values and reflects our commitment to fostering innovation in the crypto-economy space. We inherit Ethereum’s open, free, and permissionless culture, fostering a collaborative environment where knowledge and code are accessible to all.
7. Partners
We are looking for industry, legal, corporate and university partners who support our values and want to collaborate with us
Please see our Partners page for how to get involved.
