5 BFT rounds vs 3 is a fair trade if it turns p99 inclusion from “however many slots the proposer/builder ignores you” into a bounded path. Ethereum’s FOCIL/EIP-7805 attacks the PBS builder chokepoint with validator inclusion-list committees, while Solana’s Constellation/MCP goes for 50ms multi-proposer ticks so landing rights are no longer a single-leader market. For perps, liquidations, auctions, and oracle updates, users pay for predictable inclusion, not a vanity TPS number.
