Here is deep dive on the methodology we developed for detecting cross-chain arbitrages in our recent paper. In this post, we detail our approach, which utilizes data from Allium, and discuss our findings while attempting to reimplement it using Dune. collective.flashbots.net/t/detecting-cr…

ethereum has been online ten years straight with zero pauses and zero maintenance windows. in that time: - facebook went down for 14 hours - aws kinesis froze for 17 - cloudflare dropped 19 datacenters - alt L1s…well, you know. every centralised giant blinks, they rely on…

BuilderNet is quietly paying over a $1m/month in refunds to users, and is nearing 1000 ETH in refunds overall Excited for those numbers to keep scaling

on ACDC #161, Flashbots Researcher Christoph Schlegel's gave the 101 on the free option problem with ePBS and other slot restructuring proposals like it. here's the full recap of the free option problem in my latest writeup for ACD After Hours: christinedkim.substack.com/p/acdc-161-min…

The MEV Letter #100 will be published in a couple of weeks. I’m working on a fun new thing to celebrate the occasion - Lmk if u want early access⚡️

Missed new day one? We launched Flashblocks and made Base Chain 10x faster A quick 🧵 on how you can experience the power of Flashblocks yourself or integrate them into your app to improve user experience!

I partnered with @Data_Always to provide our MEV perspective on the Glamsterdam upgrade. TLDR: While BALs are uncontroversially good for the EL, there is no standout candidate for the CL. Every option has clear pros & cons, some of which surprised us. collective.flashbots.net/t/an-mev-persp…

How much profits does MEV bots 🤖 really make from CEX-DEX Arbitrage? No one can answer this question before, but we are excited to share a new paper measuring it with formal methods finally! (We got accepted by AFT25' !🥳) I summarized all the alpha in one pic for you 😃

Contender is a tool for sending lots of Ethereum transactions — but did you know you can plug in custom logic too? We used it to build a cross-chain tester that sends messages between two chains. Here’s how it works: Normally, when you send a tx with Contender, that’s it. But…

Built by BuilderNet 🫡 Excited to support scaling Ethereum!

45MGas block proposed by BuilderNet(Flashbots) and accepted Ethereum mainnet block size and L1 throughput has increased 25% since last week! Moar

next mev-boost community call is scheduled for next week! will discuss fusaka and potential glamsterdam impacts to builder/relay ecosystem hope to see you there! link to details in next tweet

First day of Flashblocks on @base saw the biggest DEX volume spike since January -- pure acceleration. It will take some time for market makers to update their approaches now that block times are 10x faster. But zero doubt if this was Day 1, going to be huge.

🚀 Contender v0.3.0 is out! Here’s what’s new in our Ethereum stress-testing toolkit:🧵

live now! x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Flashbots continues to push the frontier of performance engineering for the EVM! In this release we cut our p50 time for building blocks ("fill time") by 2x and our already market leading state root time by 5x AND we enhanced security in the same release!

just block people like this, don't engage with them absolutely miserable people with no ideals or dreams, no principles, who take great pleasure in trying to smash the ideals and principles of others to bring everyone down to their same bitterly cynical level

BuilderNet v1.5 → This release has a 2x faster median fill time, 5x faster root hash, and adds trusted TLS certificates for more secure orderflow submission. TDX images can be reproducibly built using the guide below.

🚨 Going live tomorrow at 1PM EST on X! 🚨 I’ll be coding up a demo using Unichain Bundles to explain how they differ from normal bundles, and what you can do with them. Come hang out, ask questions, and learn something new! 🔗 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

First L2 with native bundle support! ⚡️🦄
