After considerable internal debate and in consultation with our Board of Directors, effective Wednesday, September 27, 2023 8am PST Blocknative will suspend the Blocknative MEV-Boost Relay and associated Ethereum Block Builders.
The Blocknative Relay Data API will remain available for data downloads until October 4, 2023.
We do not anticipate this change disrupting Validators or other network operations. To avoid any error messages after September 27, please modify your configurations as follows:
- The Blocknative Relay will return a 503 error with “no builder bid”.
- Ensure your Validators are connected to multiple MEV-Boost Relays and have local building enabled.
- Remove the Blocknative Relay from your Validator configurations.
We deeply appreciate your partnership and readiness to engage with our Relay over the past year.
