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!
