Our take

Flashbots is a research and development organization that is mitigating the miner-extractable value (MEV) problem, striving for a transparent and fair ecosystem for MEV extraction to reinforce the Ethereum blockchain ideals.

Flashbots, while connecting searchers and mining pools, stands out for not using private contracts and arrangements. Instead, it is an open participation system where any searcher or mining pool can join. This is considered more beneficial to the network, rather than a few private entities dominating because it still allows for competition.

The company is making notable strides, having raised $60M to fund the launch of Suave, an ambitious new project aimed at transforming the way blockchain operators earn value across different networks. With this, the company is becoming a genuinely exciting disrupter to an ever-changing industry. While things are still in motion, the company has ramped up its hiring efforts, signalling an exciting phase of growth and innovation ahead.
