Special thanks to Justin Drake and the Flashbots team for feedback and discussion. A major risk threatening the ongoing decentralization of consensus networks is the economics around miner extractable value (MEV), sophisticated tricks to extract profit from the ability to choose the contents of the next block. A simple example of MEV is arbitraging all on-chain decentralized exchanges against price movements that have happened since the previous block. While normal PoS rewards are reasonably ...| Ethereum Research
MEV-Boost: Merge ready Flashbots Architecture This architecture is a work in progress - the final design will reflect the feedback collected and lessons learned through implementation and can be found on the mev-boost github repository This document outlines the design for a marketplace for block construction (often referred to as block proposer / block builder separation or PBS) compatible with the upcoming Ethereum merge fork. This trust based solution closely resembles the current Flashbot...| Ethereum Research
Flashbots Auction is a permissionless, transparent, and fair ecosystem for efficient MEV extraction and frontrunning protection which preserves the ideals of Ethereum. Flashbots Auction provides a private communication channel between Ethereum users and validators for efficiently communicating preferred transaction order within a block.| docs.flashbots.net
