FRB’s plan for SUAVE
Based on the roadmap published in “The Future of MEV is SUAVE”, we built an operational playbook that shows how to prepare clients, distribute bundles, and analyze risk before shared settlement goes live.
Phase 0 · Dual builders
FRB fans bundles to Flashbots and Titan builders simultaneously, settling on Ethereum while sampling SUAVE latency.
Phase 1 · SUAVE mempool
Bundles sit inside the SUAVE encrypted mempool until execution clients reveal the winning bid.
Phase 2 · Shared sequencing
FRB routes through SUAVE shared sequencing lanes for non-Ethereum chains (Polygon, BNB).
Ready-state checklist
Follow these checks to guarantee a smooth cutover to SUAVE.
Point FRB to at least two SUAVE builders (Flashbots, Titan) plus a fallback block builder.
Keep 5–10 bundles queued to the SUAVE mempool to absorb blockspace spikes.
Enable bid sanity limits so FRB drops a bundle if SUAVE returns a >1.5× gas escalation.
Track SUAVE settlement tx hash + relay inclusion to reconcile profits against Ethereum L1.
Builder capacity
FRB estimates based on last week’s simulation runs.
| Builder | Inclusion | Latency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flashbots | 93% | 148 ms | Protect lane keeps private bundles within ±4% of on-chain fills. |
| Titan | 88% | 172 ms | Requires double encryption (KZG + AES) before submission. |
| bloXroute | 85% | 190 ms | Performs best when paired with Base/Polygon routes. |
FAQ
What is SUAVE?
SUAVE is the private mempool and execution layer announced by Flashbots to separate search, ordering, and settlement. It lets you submit bundles to multiple builders while preserving strategy privacy.
How does FRB integrate with SUAVE?
FRB signs MEV bundles, encrypts the payload, and pushes them into the SUAVE mempool while simultaneously mirroring to legacy builders. Latency and inclusion are monitored continuously.
When will Polygon/BNB routes be supported?
Flashbots plans to expose L2 routes via SUAVE during 2026. FRB customers prepare now so they can switch the moment the APIs open.
