Flashbots' Mission: Reducing the Negative Effects of Maximum Extractable Value (MEV)
Flashbots is a venture that seeks to minimize the negative impact of MEV, a significant issue on the Ethereum network. MEV represents the potential profit that can be obtained by front-running or reordering blockchain transactions. Through its work on the SUAVE platform, Flashbots aims to mitigate the effects of MEV, striving for a more efficient and fairer crypto ecosystem. #Flashbots
SUAVE: A Decentralized Network and MEV Optimization Innovation
SUAVE (Single Unified Auction for Value Expression) is a decentralized platform that can act as a transaction pool and a decentralized block producer. The $60 million investment raised by Flashbots will enable continuous development of the SUAVE network, allowing users to conduct cheaper and more confidential transactions on Ethereum and similar chains. Developers can initiate intra-block applications using SUAVE and turn it into a preferred platform by many validators running Ethereum through MEV optimization tool called MEV-boost. #SUAVE
