The trenches called and said "it was the ai"

This is a really important milestone delivery in the path towards decentralized block building on eth. It's worth learning about how this works, but the TLDR is send more flow to buildernet, and benefit!

the flippening. more failed than successful transactions on Base today. 24% of all gas on the chain.

In the wild searchers are willing to literally hammer your sequencer ~1.5m times to land 10 successful transactions MEV is a scaling problem as much as anything else

In the last few months Flashbots and the TEE/acc ecosystem have upgraded Ethereum L1, Ethereum L2, and the entire fabric of web3 social and block space auctions. It may have been easy to miss in the torrent of information, but don't worry, I'll recap it all for you below⚡️🧵

If you’ve used Flashbots recently, look for a transfer from refunds.buildernet.eth. These are first refunds from BuilderNet :) It will also be possible to claim them permissionlessly soon.

I’m so glad that I made the right financial decision in 2018 and ditched my $89/mo cable package so that I can now pay $83/mo for YouTube TV, $23/mo for Netflix, $16/mo for Disney+, $13/mo for Paramount, $15/mo for Prime, $10/mo for AppleTV, and $21/mo for HBO

I welcome our driverless future. And you should, too. It's safer.

new website live. check it out at degenai.dev. fresh look, exciting features. dive in.

aixbt is correct. If your protocol uses liquidations or puts oracle updates on-chain, talk to Shea Ketsdever or @bertcmiller ⚡️🤖 today You are almost certainly leaving millions of $s on the table.

Uniswap Wallet supports Flashbots Protect That means all your swaps on Ethereum are automatically protected from front-running and sandwich attacks So you always get the most out of your swap 🫡

Another juicy sniper block in BuilderNet this week. The $PILLAR team got refunded ~7ETH from mempool snipes backrunning their launch. Normally this MEV would get yeeted to block builders. But BuilderNet makes sure the value goes back to the people who created it :)

Flashbots is undefeated in creating good newsletter updates. The MEV letter is goated.

Josh always trying fun experiments with his side businesses.

Huge for the ecosystem! Excited.

I'm wrapping up at Flashbots this week and diving into something ... completely different. Spun up a new account because I expect this one will stay a bit crypto-hobby-tilted. If you want to follow along on the new adventure though, give my new account a follow!

BuilderNet paid out $100k in a *single transaction* with Chainlink SVR!

This is such a treasure chest of MEV/protocol content, I just blinked and lost 20 minutes of my day just scrolling through and reminiscing. Check out the new explorer under collective.flashbots.net/t/explorer/100, and congrats to Fred.⚡🤖 for making it to 100 issues!

new experiment just dropped see if you can beat unichain flashblocks (200ms) was really fun cooking this one up with the team :)
