ETHGas wants to bring Wall Street to public Ethereum by selling advance block reservations

ETHGas is developing Institutional Blockspace to let banks and trading firms reserve space in Ethereum blocks in advance, choose validators, and screen counterparties for compliance. The service currently has about $800 million in blockspace commitments and a $3 billion three-year agreement with ether.fi, but only about 5% of Ethereum validators are qualified participants. Validators face no financial compensation requirement if they fail to deliver on commitments, though founder Kevin Lepsoe says the market mechanisms exist to determine appropriate pricing.
