Episode notes

Miner will run a bunch of workers in parallel that are trying to make multiple bundle length blocks. If two bundles conflict, then one of them is going to revert. And so the protection against conflicting bundles is that miners won't make profit from mining them. Itw'll sent off an alert in the system if there's a failed transaction in like this parallel worker kind of systemthat i just laid out. Did that make sense? Em, let me take a step back, actually. So this is both flash pots and the minor so it happens at the level of the client that miners are using to decide which transactions o include in their block.

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.
