Exciting news for MEV extractooors, MATIC delegators and validators on Polygon

The Marlin node on Polygon has received more than 165m MATIC in delegations!

What does it mean for you?

For MEV searchers:

The node is producing ~8% of Polygon blocks at the moment. This will grow as more validators switch to the mev-bor implementation or as the Marlin node receives more MATIC delegations.

However, 8% seems to be sufficient for searchers to get started.

We successfully landed our first single transaction bundles on Feb 12:

For Polygon validators:

mev-bor is running smoothly. It has been producing blocks and been in consensus as expected. We expect mev-bor to generate substantial revenue for validators.

For DApps:

DApps which would benefit from the ability to prioritize transactions or use a private relay are invited to reach out to us to explore integration possibilities!

The Flashbots relay on Polygon will go live on Feb 21st once spam & DoS protection is made more robust.
