Episode notes

I was like, i was probably the most hopeful person at the m v dot w the w t f conference. But one way that we have already started to ineffectively, am completely, like, mitigate m v is why a mempl segregation aso, instead of one mempol? You mentioned at least four different relays that you use. And these relays all have an incentive to bit for your order flow that you submit as a searcher. So who's actually in the privileged position here? Like, if there's one mempol, then you have many searchers, and by seach, searcher can be anyone, like not even the searchers use us wit

For our latest episode, I sat down with MEV Senpai, one of the top searchers in Ethereum. He gave us the unique inside perspective of someone who finds and captures MEV himself. The result was a long & intense convo, one of the best I've had in a while.

We discussed:

The structure and actors of the MEV game
What is searching, how can you learn it, what edges exist
Intro to private relays and transaction bundles
The role of Flashbots in DEX trading
and, of course, the hot topic of the day: short-term reorgs in Ethereum

Enjoy!

Listen to conversations between Su Zhu, the CEO and CIO of Three Arrows Capital, and Hasu, an experienced crypto researcher and writer. Together with occasional guests, we explore the transformative nature of trust-minimized currency and financial services.
