Episode notes

It's understandable that minors would look at this and say, the previous block has a ten million dollar liquidation, for me, a liquidationab penalty to take. And set of ino building on the block before then also try to get this diquidation. You don't actually know if it is reserved, like, with very high certainty. Soa, you don't know if this is happening now,. Because er minus might not release their blocks immediately - which would be like a valet tactic known from som selfish mining. It basically would increase the latency of etherium yit's probably some function of the total mv that your your transaction creates.

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.
