How MEV PnL Works — An Illustrative Model
The figures below are a modeled example of how MEV performance is structured — the strategy mix, the drag from gas, and how win rate moves net results. They are not real user results and not a track record.
Disclaimer: These are illustrative, modeled figures for education only. They are not actual trading results, not a performance promise, and not verifiable on-chain. MEV extraction is variable and can lose money. Past or modeled performance does not indicate future results.
Illustrative Monthly Breakdown
| Period | Trades | Win Rate | Gross PnL | Net PnL | Avg/Trade | Gas Spent | Top Strategy |

| Month 4 | 2,411 | 72.5% | +22.3 ETH | +17.84 ETH | 0.0074 ETH | 4.46 ETH | Arbitrage |
| Month 5 | 2,687 | 74.1% | +28.9 ETH | +23.12 ETH | 0.0086 ETH | 5.78 ETH | Arbitrage |
| Month 6 | 1,934 | 73.6% | +19.4 ETH | +15.52 ETH | 0.0080 ETH | 3.88 ETH | Backrun |
How to verify real activity: These rows are modeled figures, not on-chain records. When you run the agent, every transaction is recorded on-chain — check your own results on Etherscan, BscScan, or Solscan. See the Trust page for the verification methodology and what evidence we do and do not publish.
Illustrative Revenue Mix
In this model, all value comes from MEV extraction — not from subscriptions, new-user deposits, or referral fees.
Structural note: FRB's fee model does not earn from user subscriptions, deposits, or recruiting new members — only a performance fee on net profitable executed trades. If the market has no opportunities, there are no trades and no performance fee. This is by design.
How the Agent Is Designed to Behave Under Stress
Illustrative scenarios showing the agent's intended behaviour during adverse conditions — high gas, congestion, relay outages, and zero-opportunity periods. These describe design intent, not logged incidents.
Pauses execution, resumes when gas normalises
Throttles to a safe-mode submission rate
Falls back to alternate relays / direct submission
Idles — no forced trades
Fee Structure
You keep 80% of net profit on qualifying executed trades
Charged only on qualifying net profitable executed trades
No subscription or withdrawal fee to FRB
Costs that still apply: network gas, slippage, and failed-transaction costs are paid to the network — not to FRB — and apply regardless of whether a trade is profitable. See Pricing and the fee policy for full detail.
Execution Architecture — Where Does Your Trade Run?
What Runs Locally (Your Machine)
- ✓ Private key storage & transaction signing
- ✓ Mempool scanning & opportunity detection
- ✓ Strategy execution & trade simulation
- ✓ PnL tracking & portfolio management
- ✓ All wallet interactions & approvals
What Uses External Infrastructure
- → Flashbots Relay — bundle submission (public infrastructure)
- → Jito Block Engine — Solana bundle submission (public)
- → RPC Nodes — blockchain data queries (configurable)
- → Telemetry — anonymous health metrics only (opt-out available)
Honest Disclosure: While the agent runs locally, it communicates with external MEV relays (Flashbots, Jito) to submit bundles. These are public, permissionless infrastructure — not FRB-controlled servers. Your private keys never leave your machine.
Verify Everything Yourself
Start with Simulation Mode, review the modeled results, verify your own transactions on-chain, and read the risk disclosure before any live execution.
