Crypto trivia 📚 Proposer-Builder Separation
In the MEV-Boost process, builders assemble transactions into blocks and submit bids. Relays forward the bids to the validators proposing blocks, and the validators choose the highest bid.
Each validator can choose whether to use MEV-Boost. Validators who don’t use it can also build blocks with their local clients.
Don’t laugh at me—I only remembered this after learning the hard way.
For blocks produced through MEV-Boost, builders must pay their bid to the validator proposing the block: $ETH . Currently: 2396.08.
