Our team (me and my friends 😉 decided to try to simplify life for ourselves and for people who frequently and actively trade or interact with Flashbots
Right now, we want to understand how in-demand an API solution would be if it could offer the following:
– Send transactions privately, bypassing the public mempool to avoid MEV sandwich attacks (which private RPCs and some other services already do to some extent)
– Simulate transactions before sending them, in order to minimize losses in gas fees and time
– Automatically determine optimal gas settings, saving traders time
– Provide a fallback to the public mempool in case of issues with the private pool, ensuring transaction inclusion
At the end, the user gets a clear, concise result in highlights: transaction status, explanation, routing path, and number of attempts
In essence, we aim to help users avoid reverts, missed blocks, gas overpayment, and manual retries – saving time and, most importantly, money and nerves
This solution would act as a neutral layer designed to make trading more convenient. We are close to presenting an MVP and would really like to understand whether this is something people would be interested in trying, and what you think about its applicability in day-to-day trading.
