MEV Space #2: Offer Builders Can't Refuse:The Searcher Integration Saga

In the first 11 months of 2024, three powerhouse searcher-builders—MEV Frontrunner Yoink, C0ffeebabe.eth, and Turbobuilder—pulled in a staggering 9K ETH tips from just 13K transactions, including hacks, arbitrages, and liquidations. Searcher-builder integration has become a phenomenon the Ethereum ecosystem can’t afford to ignore.

The growing prevalence of searcher-builder integration has emerged as a key factor in how MEV is extracted and distributed in the Ethereum ecosystem. What started as a natural evolution in the PBS ecosystem has become dominant, raising important questions about market dynamics, privacy considerations, and ecosystem health. From Shutter Network's work on privacy-preserving solutions to Sorella's research on MEV capture and the deep insights into order flow dynamics, our speakers today represent different angles of this complex puzzle.

Co-host:
Blair Marshall, MEV Solution Architect of Fastlane.

Speakers:
Luis Bezzenberger, founder of Shutter Network.
David Phillips, Order Flow expert.
Yuki Yuminaga, Founding Research and Growth of Sorella Labs, Research Partner of Fenbushi Capital.

We will discuss:

How do you calculate the actual net income of a builder?
The impact of searcher-builder integration on the health of Ethereum.
How would you evaluate the effect of Inclusion Lists solutions on searcher-builder integration? I.E., FOCIL or MCP.
Are TEE and BuilderNet helpful in relieving damages?
