MEV-Boost release v1.9 with Pectra support is out! 🎉 github.com/flashbots/mev-… It's a required upgrade for the upcoming Pectra fork.

We're excited to share that you can now use Nethermind Client with rbuilder for block building. Learn more collective.flashbots.net/t/announcing-m…

The Nethermind team are chads. We've loved working with them and have been impressed by all their contributions to BuilderNet & rbuilder!

We've been working hard on improving BuilderNet, and are excited to announce the new BuilderNet v1.3 release! buildernet.org

Lastest BuilderNet release is really cool My favorite is that we cut our p99 for "time from tx receipt to inclusion in a top relay block header" by ~half More to come - there is a lot the team is doing to make BuilderNet the most performant & most decentralized builder

block building must be made decentralised, uncensorable, and neutral. see beaverbuild.org/buildernet.txt, sighash 0xa32c499998e1f55dad0eaab29d33996a30ab1d822d785fb5acc5b6df702c560b1dd7326d5b21cf4884738d5c4493f27ba8c30eaa5e09e7cb7ebb50d7667f6ac61c

Beaverbuild is retiring their centralized block builder to work full time on BuilderNet.

✅ 250ms L2 tee preconfirmations ✅ verifiable L1 tee auction, cutting-edge efficiency ✅ built on a rigorous base of open research and code warm up done. next inning is gonna really start blowing minds 😉⚡️

Great questions about BuilderNet on the forum, tried to answer them adequately! collective.flashbots.net/t/questions-ab… Keep 'em coming :)

Flashbots MEV-Boost Relay logs show some proposers still using old versions of mev-boost... If you are using mev-boost, please ensure you've updated to the Pectra-compatible version v1.9! Any older version might cause issues, as it doesn't know the Pectra/Electra data types.

ICYMI: $9B+ in Aave TVL is now secured by Flashbots-enabled SVR price feeds. With 0 bad debt accrued during the (unusually volatile) trial period :)

Relayscan got a small update to show builder aliases grouped if they belong together! relayscan.io

Wanted to share some quick stats for relayscan.io 📊 In the last 30 days: - On average about 400-500 unique daily users - 5-6k requests per day - Most traffic from US, then Ireland, UK, Finland and Japan

BuilderNet is really frickin fast now. In just the last 3 months: - ~30% faster root hash - 100% faster time-to-bid for 99% of bundles - projected 250% (not a typo) faster average fills with EVM caching Soon: HFT-grade sequencing in TEEs.
