Looking ahead, our team now has the opportunity to take our work into a new context at Deloitte, focused on the intersection of blockchain, AI, and agentic workflows. More on the Blocknative transition, including the timeline for sunsetting APIs: https://t.co/YEiki1DbC6

Excited to share that I’ve joined Deloitte along with the full Blocknative team.

The past almost 8 years building Blocknative have been a defining chapter for me professionally, alongside a talented team and inside an ecosystem that never stops advancing the state of the art.

GM frens! Please say hello to Gas Network ⛽️🛜 by @Blocknative: a new distributed gas oracle protocol designed to bring clarity (and sanity) to transaction pricing across all chains. Ready to ditch the gas fee guesswork? 🧵1/10

It's been one year since The Merge. And in that time, there have been significant advancements that have redefined the @Ethereum ecosystem w/ both positive and negative impacts on the network, its end-users, and the critical actors in the MEV supply chain.

Blocknative PM @sajidazouarhi breaks down some of the key lessons we've learned this past year, including:

✅The pursuit of maximum profits fuels centralization at the core of the network.
✅Vertically integrated Searcher/Builders have proven positive economics, while credibly neutral Builders struggle to find margin and hence revenue/profitability.
✅MEV-Boost Relay operations are effectively 100% risk, 0% reward.
✅Based on the latest in ePBS research, trusted third-party Relays at the core of the network will be a fact of life for the foreseeable future.
✅Sanctions – and OFAC SDN specifically – played an unexpected role in shaping staking and PBS landscape.
✅Promises of ‘protecting’ users from the adverse effects of MEV remain to be fully proven out.

Feeling FOMO from missing our presentation on Latency Wars yesterday? Luckily we recorded it 🤓

Learn more about the constant fight for lower latency and the critical nuances and strategies used in the PBS ecosystem to reduce latency.

1/14 A new mental model to help wrap your mind around #ERC4337: 4337 adds a new “user intent layer” upstream/on top of the existing transaction flow.

The big unlock (for me at least): working backwards from the current Ethereum EOA model. 🧵

[Spencer Bogart @CremeDeLaCrypto]

Absolutely thrilled to continue backing and working closely with the entire Blocknative team

From the co-founders to the most recent hires, this is a truly world class team that keeps the best interests of Ethereum (and crypto more broadly) at the core of what they do

1/ Couldn’t be happier to share that our team at @Blocknative has closed an additional $15M financing to build blocks for Ethereum mainnet. As co-founder & CEO, it is both humbling and satisfying to see it all come together 4.5 years into our journey. 🧵👇 https://t.co/igncVsaoGC

[dmarz ⚡️🤖 @DistributedMarz]

MEV is an unexpected black hole in the ethereum security budget and PBS is our best shot at mitigating its effects. I'm excited to announce that @blocknative we're helping slay the beast by open sourcing our relay implementation dreamboat🛳️ https://t.co/ubSy7jdGRd

[Blocknative | ⛽ @blocknative]

Happy to announce $12 million in new Series A financing, enabling us to scale our core transaction monitoring infrastructure as well as collaborate deeply with an incredible investor roster of top Web3 operators and thought-leaders.

“Something wicked this way comes.” Simulation Platform is a _monster_ release from our team and an important step forward in leveling the playing field across the Ethereum ecosystem. For clarity, we are simulating the entire mempool in *real-time*. 🛳⛴🚢

[Blocknative | ⛽ @blocknative]

In our latest post, @ChrisMeisl covers the fundamentals of #Ethereum transaction simulation — and how to see inside pending internal transactions.

@CurveFinance @JonGalt14 @metamask_io @blocknative We're hoping https://t.co/alWqAnKcZE is fixed soon as it sometimes (not always) prevents Onboard from detecting the injected provider, i.e. MM in their browser.

[Chris Meisl | Blocknative | Gas Network ⛽️ @ChrisMeisl]

@JonGalt14 @CurveFinance @metamask_io There is a known issue with MM on Android with an open PR to resolve. https://t.co/alWqAnKcZE

@frame_eth @intocryptoast @CurveFinance We are taking a look at Frame support in Onboard. Thank you for noting this issue. @blocknative

@austinrobertsiv @R_I_V_E_T @R_I_V_E_T continues to demonstrate killer ops for Ethereum infra. Great writeup!

The mempool is a dark forest

It's filled with money-hungry apex predators

But it doesn't have to be scary

We just need the tools & resources to navigate it

@mcutler shares his knowledge w/ the Bankless Nation

Let's explore the dark forest:

Why should you listen to Matt about building products people want? Uh, because he’s a boss. Literally.
