What Is the Primary Service Provided by Flashbots to Mitigate MEV?
Flashbots provides a private transaction relay service, specifically designed to mitigate Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) attacks like front-running. It allows users to send transactions directly to a block builder without exposing them to the public mempool.
This privacy prevents MEV bots from observing and exploiting the transaction, while also enabling users to pay a block builder directly for priority inclusion.
