Episode notes

Searcher is just this general term for people who find amyty on chain, ind a captureit in different ways. I specifically use flash pots or other types of relays, like bots, in order to capture m e v. You're not away from the public mempi to a private one. i think that p g bots have a lot of negative externalities that are incurred on users. So working off thi decentralized exchange, example, if thereis an arbitrage opportunity chain that is large st to, say, a hundred thousand dollars, there a gon to be a lot of people competing for it. But only one bought, at the end of the day, can capture

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.
