The inclusion list design of FOCIL is like issuing a number for the transaction first, to prevent it from being endlessly jumped ahead.

a16z Crypto publishes an article exploring the fundamental contradiction between blockchain "censorship resistance" and "low latency"
a16z Crypto points out that there is a fundamental contradiction between censorship resistance and low latency.
Censorship-resistant BFT, when more than 20% of validators act maliciously, has an optimal delay of at least 5 rounds; traditional BFT only requires 3 rounds.
To prevent censorship, schemes like Ethereum's FOCIL/EIP-7805, Solana's Constellation/MCP propose that validators collect inclusion lists before the formal proposal, and then broadcast and confirm an additional two rounds before reaching consensus.
Five rounds are the theoretical lower bound; achieving both simultaneously in four rounds is difficult.
While censorship resistance increases delay, it can significantly improve the predictability of actual confirmation, preventing transactions from being indefinitely delayed.
