Let’s talk about proposer-builder separation.
In the MEV-Boost process, builders assemble transactions into blocks and place bids, relays pass the bids to the validators proposing blocks, and validators choose the highest bid.
Honestly, this is something I hadn’t paid attention to before either: when running 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.
For blocks produced through MEV-Boost, builders must pay the bid of $ETH to the validator proposing the block.
Every reward comes with corresponding risks, so take a closer look at how much you could lose in the worst case.
