@arktypeio are we getting the feather? 👀

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@bencirc @solana @AxiomExchange well if provider fees aren't bogus, then why is setting them a bad thing? :P

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@jacobdotsol How come? Genuinely asking

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@SolPlay_jonas shenanigans

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@andreivacariu_ oh no, they're backrunning their own orderflow

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@PerceptualPeak windows..

@bencirc @solana Very unlikely to be a pricing issue. Funds were withdrawn from the pools, not swapped.

@d0nutptr @OpenAI Congrats!

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@bridgemindai But do you trust moonshot with your data?

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@0xSharples this looks like it wasn't even intentional (aside from being a normal arb bot)

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@eightbitsim @mert @alessandrod yes. a bundle usually does that

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@eightbitsim @mert @alessandrod You're not making much sense. also you have shared no evidence that every arb is even caught..

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

first of all, you never HAVE to hold a tx. The fact you see it early already gives you the advantage (unless a crank arb bot gets lucky) -- the amount of profitable crank bots would also decrease if more stake would backrun :p

I also highly doubt anyone is holding transactions (even for just a few ms). They simply submit their arb in a bundle with the backrunnable tx. That is just jito / harmonic doing it's job. And for the 0 prio fee ones, it's likely just a private way of inclusion that skips the regular fee auction.

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@eightbitsim @solana @Helius Right but this deal is backrun only. If anything this helps the chain by making crank arbs less profitable.

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@eightbitsim @solana @Helius Sure, but is it someone right to land just because they’re high paying and efficient? The only reason a validator would take a deal like this, is if they earn more than they’d make on priority fees for those same opportunities

[Splatter @Splatter7_]

@cavemanloverboy I guess it’d depend on the scheduler. But to me it seems like they’d get more priority with less base fees this way
