Flashbots

Flashbots is a research and development organization working to mitigate the negative externalities of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) on stateful blockchains, primarily Ethereum. It builds core infrastructure and ecosystem tooling — including MEV-Boost, BuilderNet, Protect RPC, and SUAVE — to redefine the block production supply chain and protect users. Its dual engines of Product and Research pursue a permissionless, transparent, and sustainable MEV ecosystem via three initiatives: Illuminate, Democratize, and Distribute.
