A quiet Saturday. An ethresear proposal uses a "role bit" inside each note commitment so shielded pool users broadcast for one another, replacing the relayer market; it cites a June Railgun measurement where 1,049 self-broadcast withdrawals were linked to their depositor through the gas payer and 124 relayer-like addresses served 89% of relayed volume. EIP-7906 submitted event views keyed by topic value (merged on the 21st), making it easier to write transaction assertions by user identity.

ethresear.ch: strict role alternation, reciprocal broadcast without relayers for EVM shielded pools

14:07 (atoranzo, spec and simulation only). Shielded pools depend on relayers because `msg.sender` must pay gas from a funded transparent account; the cited Railgun measurement shows 1,049 self-broadcast withdrawals linked to their depositor through the gas payer and 124 relayer-like addresses serving 89% of relayed volume. The proposal adds a role bit to each note commitment so users broadcast for one another.
