TEEs are eating block building Congrats to solana & jito on the launch :)

Flashbots is significantly ahead of its time in multiple dimensions.

Viem 2.33 introduces initial support for Flashblocks as a first-class citizen! Try it out in Viem or Wagmi by importing a chain that supports preconfirmations – starting with `basePreconf` + `baseSepoliaPreconf`. Then observe sub-200ms transaction confirmation times. 🫡

Base is now 10x faster Flashblocks are live on Base, speeding up effective block times from 2 seconds to 200 milliseconds and making it the fastest EVM chain today From 'click' to 'confirmed' in the time it takes to think

BuilderNet v1.5 → This release has a 2x faster median fill time, 5x faster root hash, and adds trusted TLS certificates for more secure orderflow submission. TDX images can be reproducibly built using the guide below.

BuilderNet v1.5 → We sped up EVM execution by an order of magnitude, added an (even) faster root hash, and migrated to trusted TLS certificates to make orderflow submission more secure. TDX images can be reproducibly built using the guide below.

The future of Ethereum runs on better block building. @SheaKetsdever from @flashbots_x is making Ethereum’s infra more neutral and resilient with BuilderNet: a decentralized TEE network already building 35% of L1 blocks. It replaces exclusive orderflow and trust-based deals with verifiable + confidential compute so builders and users can coordinate fairly without relying on privileged access.

Economic constraints are insufficient in the face of unbounded MEV. There will always be an opportunity that’s worth the cost of slashing.

"Why MEV is the most important problem in crypto?" @SheaKetsdever @EthCC

Killing it at EthCC. You're a great speaker.
