Archer DAO was launched in 2020 on a mission to create a new revenue stream for Ethereum miners through realizing profits from MEV.
In 2021, as EIP-1559 was enacted and greatly impacted miners' revenue potential, the mission evolved into Eden Network to continue to support miners while also protecting users from the negative externalities of MEV.
At its peak, Eden’s miner partnerships represented over 50% of the hashrate, and thousands of transactions funnelled through its MEV protection RPC daily.
Post-Merge, Eden Network became an MEV-Boost relay operator, achieving the highest average block reward amongst all relays at its peak. However, over time, the relay and block building space became extremely competitive and expensive to operate, with only a small handful of operators able to turn a profit. Despite early momentum and success, Eden was unable to maintain its position in the more mature MEV landscape.
After careful consideration and consultation with community members, a difficult decision has been made to retire Eden Network. There is consensus among those consulted that this is the right course of action given the circumstances.
Effectively immediately, the following products are no longer operational:
Eden RPC + Eden Rocket RPC
Suggested Alternative: Flashbots Protect
Eden Bundles
Suggested Alternative: Flashbots Bundles
Mempool Stream
Suggested Alternative: Blocknative Mempool Explorer
Tx Explain
Suggested Alternative: ChatGPT, Grok and Claude have reasonable EVM transaction reading capabilities
Eden Public Data
Suggested Alternative: Flashbots MEV-Share and Mempool Dumpster are two of the main data sources
0xProtect
Suggested Alternative: Use the OFAC sanctions list directly
Last year, Eden Relay was transferred to Gattaca. Read more about that at: https://t.co/CR5ePmu8rE
EDEN Token Retirement Program (Swap for ETH)
As operations cease, Eden Network still holds a treasury of 2,000 ETH, of which 100% will be distributed to EDEN holders through the token retirement program.
The program begins now and closes on September 30 at 23:59 UTC. The fixed exchange rate is 0.00001506 ETH per EDEN (~66,401 EDEN = 1 ETH).
Only the current circulating supply of ~132,800,000 EDEN is eligible for the retirement program. All tokens currently held in the treasury and all unvested core contributor tokens have been burned.
Swap your EDEN for ETH, and view the contract at: https://t.co/Y0KxGn7CTR
If you still have EDEN staked on the web app, unstake at: https://t.co/HoXg2Pa4dG
Any ETH remaining in the contract after closure of the swap window will go towards company wind down admin costs.
The EDEN token retirement program is only available to non-US residents.
The $EDEN token retirement program ends on block 23478285. As block times are going faster than expected, the $EDEN to $ETH token swap will now end at approximately 21:49 UTC on September 30.
Still more than $2m left to swap!

The $EDEN for $ETH token swap has ~3 weeks to go, and there's still over 520 ETH ($2.2m) in the contract.
Claim your portion of the Eden treasury before the end of September.
See our pinned tweet for details.
Still 765 ETH ($3.5m) left in the token swap contract.
If you hold $EDEN and haven't claimed your portion of the treasury, do it now before the window closes.

Even with agents like Replit and Bolt available, I find myself turning to @cursor_ai for nearly every dev task.
Here are three reasons & a tip for using it to build crypto agents...
Intrablock Lending: A Solution to Break the Sandwich Monopoly?
I've written an article exploring the idea of intrablock lending on Ethereum, using Jared's sandwich strategy as a case study.
https://t.co/DccjCNK0VE
Replit extremely good for prototyping server work and worth trying
Bootstrapping a python api, db and web ui can just be tasked to Replit at this point
Best feature: automatic checkpoints to back out of any bad code changes
Claude Artifacts is truly a game changer, and it's easy to see the direction that app development is heading.
Today it's simple games. What will it be in a year from now? What about a decade? 🤩
Today the Eden team ran an internal hackathon where each team member was tasked with building a video game in just two hours, and only by using @AnthropicAI's Claude Artifacts tool.
That's right -- no coding, just prompts!
Here are some of the games we created today, purely by chatting to an LLM:
