* Package name : mev-boost Version : 1.9 Upstream Author : Flashbots * URL : https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost * License : Expat Programming Lang: Go Description : MEV-Boost allows Ethereum validators to source high-MEV blocks from a competitive builder marketplace mev-boost is open source middleware run by validators to access a competitive block-building market. MEV-Boost is an initial implementation of proposer-builder separation (PBS) (https://ethresear.ch/t/proposer- block-builder-separation-friendly-fee-market-designs/9725) for proof-of- stake (PoS) Ethereum. . With MEV-Boost, validators can access blocks from a marketplace of builders. Builders produce blocks containing transaction orderflow and a fee for the block proposing validator. Separating the role of proposers from block builders promotes greater competition, decentralization, and censorship-resistance for Ethereum. . PoS node operators must run three pieces of software: a validator client, a consensus client, and an execution client. MEV-boost is a sidecar for the beacon node - a separate piece of open source software, which queries and outsources block-building to a network of builders. Block builders prepare full blocks, optimizing for MEV extraction and fair distribution of rewards. They then submit their blocks to relays. . Relays aggregate blocks from multiple builders in order to select the block with the highest fees. One instance of MEV-boost can be configured by a validator to connect to multiple relays. The consensus layer client of a validator proposes the most profitable block received from MEV-boost to the Ethereum network for attestation and block inclusion.
