Flashbots Protect protocol
Overview
Flashbots Protect is a private transaction service that lets users route Ethereum transactions through a private relay to block builders, bypassing the public mempool to prevent frontrunning and sandwich attacks. Since Ethereum's 2022 Merge, blocks are produced by validators and builders (not miners); Flashbots Protect delivers transactions to those builders rather than broadcasting them publicly. It is part of the Flashbots ecosystem, which focuses on making MEV extraction transparent and reducing negative externalities. Users benefit from improved privacy and protection against malicious MEV strategies.
