Episode notes

You need to get to like a third of mining pool power to pull off some of these attacks. But there are groups that actually control a third. That's th amount you would need is like 30 % for some of like the uncle bandit at takstofya 33. Why don't they do it? I think it is a recognition that it would probably hurt the chain. There was probably many legal issues that would open up.

This week, Anna chats with Dean Eigenmann and Edgar Aroutiounian from Project Blanc, a team building bots and developing MEV strategies. They revisit the topic of MEV, what it is and how teams like Project Blanc work to capture it. They also dive into the concept of re-orgs, accelerationism as a philosophy and get a look at what goes on in the Dark Forest.
