Study Notes | Proposer-Builder Separation
① Validators cannot access the specific transactions in a block before signing its header. This prevents them from seeing the contents and stealing the builder’s MEV opportunities.
② Whether to use MEV-Boost is up to each validator. Validators who don’t use it can still build blocks with their local client.
③ If you run your own validator, find out who operates the relays you connect to and what filtering rules they use. Don’t focus only on the bids.
