According to BitMEX Research, the Blocksize War was won so market participants do not need to police what goes on‑chain, beg peers not to relay transactions, or plead with miners about block contents, reaffirming a neutral relay and mining stance for Bitcoin (BTC).

For traders, this signals no advocated change to BTC transaction inclusion norms or mempool relay behavior, aligning execution assumptions with the existing feerate-driven fee market used by nodes and miners.

This message focuses on network policy rather than price guidance, so near-term trading relevance centers on maintaining current assumptions for confirmation risk, fee budgeting, and settlement finality rather than protocol change risk.

According to Farside Investors, the mempool exists to model which transactions will get mined and acts as a spam-prevention layer (source: https://twitter.com/FarsideUK/status/1972207671974719623; original statement via BitMEX Research: https://x.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1972207072516214854). For traders, this implies BTC fee levels directly signal inclusion probability and confirmation timing, so monitoring mempool pressure can help set competitive fees and manage settlement risk during execution (source: https://twitter.com/FarsideUK/status/1972207671974719623). When spam-like low-fee floods occur, the mempool’s filtering role concentrates blockspace on transactions most likely to be mined, shifting fee and timing dynamics that affect trade settlement and on-chain arbitrage windows (source: https://x.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1972207072516214854; https://twitter.com/FarsideUK/status/1972207671974719623).

According to @jih2nn, FOCIL guarantees equality of opportunity for all transactions in the public mempool as long as there is at least one honest includer, establishing a fair-inclusion baseline for on-chain order flow management.

According to @jih2nn, the freedom to censor does not stand above this guarantee, positioning censorship resistance as subordinate to the protocol’s equal-opportunity rule.

According to @jih2nn, this explicitly covers all transactions in the public mempool, making it directly relevant to execution reliability for traders who broadcast orders publicly.
