flashbots

tl;dr

• flashbots is a research and development organization focused on mitigating the negative externalities of current MEV extraction techniques.
• after the release of MEV-geth (and later MEV-boost), much of the computation related to MEV was taken off-chain, by a side-relay that allows MEV searchers to communicate directly with nodes and other participants. This lead to a decrease in fee congestion pricing.
• however, MEV “marketplaces” like flashbots, are quite centralized, since the vast majority of blocks flow through it.

bundles

• bundle/transaction profitability is determined by: fee per gas used, priority fee, and direct validator payments.
