Deep dives into dark pools, private relays, and atomic arbitrage. Curated for builders who ship code, not just speculation.
## Why Clawdbot & Moltbot AI Dominate MEV in 2026 The landscape of **Maximum Extractable Value (MEV)** has shifted. In 2026, manual scripts are obsolete. The market is dominated
Most new MEV searchers start with "Atomic Arbitrage": scanning Uniswap V2 vs Sushiswap for price discrepancies. The problem? **Everyone else is doing that too.** The competition i
If you send a transaction on Ethereum Mainnet using the default Infura or Alchemy RPC, you are broadcasting your intent to the entire world before it happens. This "Dark Forest" i
Staking ETH for 3-4% APY is fine. But if you know how to open a terminal, you are leaving money on the table. The "Developer Yield Premium" is real: tools that require minor techn
The tribalism in crypto is legendary, but for MEV searchers, loyalty is a liability. You go where the yield is. In 2026, the battleground has shifted significantly between **Ethere
The "Golden Age" of public mempool sniping is undeniably over. If you are still running a basic Gas War bot on Ethereum Mainnet in 2026, you are likely burning more in failed trans
## Why Do Bundles Fail? Even in 2026, a "Failed Bundle" remains the biggest nightmare for MEV traders. However, failure is just data that helps you improve. In this guide, we di
## Why Base in 2026? In 2026, **Base** (Coinbase's L2) has become the premier destination for smart MEV traders. Thanks to extremely low gas fees and surging liquidity from reta
## Our Commitment to Security in 2026 In the world of crypto, trust is the most valuable currency. At **FRB**, we understand the growing concerns regarding automated trading sof
## Principles - Cap downside first; size upside gradually. - Use canary sizes on new routes.
## Overview Most failures trace back to latency variance, configuration gaps, or invalid assumptions.
## Preparation - Regional endpoints with low variance. - Gas/fee awareness; set per‑trade caps.
## Overview Keep endpoints stable, watch fee dynamics, and start with canary sizes.
## Overview Both paths have trade‑offs. Start with simulation and measure outcomes.
## Overview Treat inclusion as a measured distribution, not a promise. Use controlled experiments.
## Why it matters Polygon is sensitive to latency variance; consistent endpoints improve inclusion probability.
## Testing Use our **WSS Latency Test** across multiple time windows and compare both median and spread.
## What to measure - Open/first‑message times and variance. - Error rates and throttling under light load.
## Selection criteria - Median latency and low variance. - Stable policies under burst and fair limits.
## Considerations - Deep pools and audited routers. - Tight slippage on volatile pairs.
## Checklist - Nearby region; stable variance. - Error rates monitored; backpressure handled.
## Notes - Monitor error codes/timeouts for early signs of throttling. - Prefer consistent endpoints over occasional fastest spikes.
## Overview Private RPCs can reduce variance and exposure for MEV workflows. Focus on reliability, latency, and fair policies.
## Checklist - WSS latency and variance acceptable (< 150 ms median ideal). - Router allowlists + token hygiene.
## Overview Reliable endpoints, fee awareness, and a conservative playbook are key to consistent Base MEV execution.
## Key principles - Balanced filters for recall; avoid over‑filtering. - Consistent endpoints matter more than occasional peaks.
## Overview Avoid throttled endpoints, measure variance, and balance filters to maintain recall.
