The machines are waking up
Replying to @zmanian
This talk is such a great 10,000 foot view of what have we learned from the last 5 years of order flow on permissionless blocks and argument for why these are particularly relevant insights when the machines are waking up

At @chainbound_ , we collaborated with Flashbots on a new implementation of BuilderNet overflow proxy (FlowProxy) created with the goal of reducing e2e latency and increasing observability. It's now open source and live on all instances since October 17th!

Shea is one of the most engaging and technically accessible speakers on crypto!
Honored to have her give a talk at the Bankless Summit at @EFDevcon!!
Remember: at the Bankless Summit, there are no panels. Talks only.
Heard great things about bankless summit last year, excited to join the lineup for buenos aires!
See you nov 18th

As a community we exclaim “don’t trust, verify”, but the reality is every single one of you sends your transactions into a black box where unknown actors can see your data and deploy arbitrary code, all behind a closed door dev process. BuilderNet is different. 🚀

Optimism is partnering with Flashbots to bring fast, verifiable sequencing to the Superchain 🔴
Faster confirmations = smoother user experience.

2/ @ethereum’s second decade kicked off with a block built by @flashbots_x BuilderNet, a decentralized, MEV-sharing network already refunding users >1,000 ETH. A fitting milestone for a decentralized network that’s never gone down in 10 years.

Awesome reveal that will radically improve Solana's market structure
Jito chads just keep shipping
And shoutout Flashbots for leading the way on MEV yet again - BuilderNet helped inspire BAM as Lucas mentions in here

Viem 2.33 introduces initial support for Flashblocks as a first-class citizen!
Try it out in Viem or Wagmi by importing a chain that supports preconfirmations – starting with `basePreconf` + `baseSepoliaPreconf`.
Then observe sub-200ms transaction confirmation times. 🫡

Base is now 10x faster
Flashblocks are live on Base, speeding up effective block times from 2 seconds to 200 milliseconds and making it the fastest EVM chain today
From 'click' to 'confirmed' in the time it takes to think

"Why MEV is the most important problem in crypto?"

The future of Ethereum runs on better block building.
@SheaKetsdever from @flashbots_x is making Ethereum’s infra more neutral and resilient with BuilderNet: a decentralized TEE network already building 35% of L1 blocks.
It replaces exclusive orderflow and trust-based deals with verifiable + confidential compute so builders and users can coordinate fairly without relying on privileged access.
