## About

### What it is

Flashbots is a research and development organization formed to mitigate the negative externalities posed by Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) to stateful blockchains, starting with Ethereum. Flashbots operates a block builder and an MEV-boost relay on Ethereum.

### Who uses it

The Flashbots team and investors own the Flashbots Builder. Currently, Flashbots does not take a cut of the fees paid by searchers. Flashbots' investors include Paradigm, among others.

### How it works

Ethereum validators use MEV-boost to outsource their block construction to a marketplace of relays and builders, including the Flashbots Builders. This dashboard only captures metrics about the Flashbots Builders.
