Through groundbreaking technology and a commitment to open-source principles, Flashbots is revolutionizing the transaction supply chain. Our core mission is to illuminate, democratize, and distribute MEV, fostering a permissionless, transparent, and sustainable ecosystem for all participants. We develop critical infrastructure and sophisticated tooling designed to enhance the efficiency, fairness, and security of block production. Key innovations include MEV-Boost, which empowers Ethereum validators by providing access to a competitive block-building market, and Flashbots Protect, an RPC endpoint offering users enhanced transaction privacy and protection against front-running and sandwich attacks.

Flashbots operates through two interconnected engines: Flashbots Product and Flashbots Research. Our product division focuses on building robust, market-driven solutions like BuilderNet, a decentralized block-building network leveraging Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), and high-performance block builders written in Rust like rbuilder and op-rbuilder. Simultaneously, Flashbots Research delves into the intricate dynamics of MEV, exploring novel cryptographic methods, economic incentives, and security models. We are actively investigating advanced concepts such as Rollup-Boost for Layer 2 scaling solutions and the potential of Multi-Party Computation (MPC) to further enhance privacy and fairness. Our commitment extends to fostering a vibrant community, sharing our findings openly, and collaborating with researchers and developers worldwide to ensure the long-term health and decentralization of public blockchains. Through these efforts, Flashbots is dedicated to shaping a more equitable and resilient future for decentralized systems, ensuring that the benefits of MEV are harnessed responsibly and its potential pitfalls are effectively mitigated through continuous technological advancement.
