What is GetBlock's MEV protection
GetBlock's MEV protection solution offers fully protected RPC endpoints for the Solana, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Base blockchains. To provide these services, GetBlock partnered with Merkle. Let's look closer:
- The MEV protection operates on the RPC endpoint level: no additional development work is necessary
- Transactions are negotiated through a private mempool in partnership with Merkle as a trusted private builder
- It blocks MEV bots from seeing legitimate user transactions, which would have the potential for sandwiching.
Benefits of using GetBlock's MEV protection
Web3 developers using GetBlock's MEV protection service:
- Don't need to build custom anti-MEV defenses, reducing expenses and complexity
- Are protected against sandwich attacks and front-running without any code changes
- Can maintain the same API while ensuring their users' transactions remain secure
