MEV support for Polygon is here!

Dive in: https://blog.marlin.org/introducing-mev-support-for-polygon

You will now be able to send bundles to bor.txrelay.marlin.org just as you would to relay.flashbots.net.

Target users:

Validators in the Polygon network looking to increase their income by including MEV bundles.
dApp devs who want to protect user's txs from frontrunning.
MEV searchers interested in prioritizing bundles.

The bundle format and transaction ordering rules remain as they are on Flashbots Ethereum. Validators will be required to run mev-bor which is based on mev-geth.

Users, devs & validators interested in participating in the alpha release can register their interest by filling this form.

Instructions for validators to install the gateway to enable communication between mev-bor and the Marlin relay can be found in our docs.

mev-inspect on ETH suggests that over USD 711m has been extracted since the start of 2020. We’re expanding mev-inspect to add support for Polygon-based dapps to analyze MEV opportunities in Polygon and are in touch with some other chains as well.

The relay used here will initially be permissioned. Bundles will only be visible to the validator whose chance it is to produce the block. We expect to decentralize the relay and add privacy-protecting features over time in conjunction with Flashbots’ efforts.
