Episode notes

Some surchers publicly pressure others sches not to bit more then 70 % of the opportunity. The places where cartalization happens are more towards the frontier, some newer types of strategies. It could lead to divergences in the amount of m e v that the miner is able to get per average block. And i think it might just pist the miners off and maybe get them to do something more aggressive.

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.
