About

Flashbots is a research and development organization founded in 2020 to address the existential challenges posed by Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) to blockchain ecosystems, starting with Ethereum. The organization operates through two engines: Flashbots Product builds open-source infrastructure including MEV-Boost (enabling validator access to competitive block markets), BuilderNet (a decentralized block-building network running on trusted execution environments), Rollup-Boost (verifiable block-building for rollups), and Protect RPC (a secure transaction endpoint). Flashbots Research explores MEV market dynamics at the intersection of economics, security, and cryptography via in-house work and the Flashbots Research Proposals (FRP) program. The organization raised $60M at a $1B valuation in 2023.
