Flashbots

Flashbots is a research and development organization focused on mitigating the negative externalities associated with Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) on stateful blockchains, starting with Ethereum. The team employs a three-pronged approach: Illuminate (increase transparency around MEV), Democratize (provide open access to MEV), and Distribute (enable sustainable sharing of MEV). With tools like MEV-Boost, they facilitate a competitive block-building marketplace, ensuring decentralized participation and enhancing Ethereum's security.
