## **Summary** This proposal suggests removing the SecureRPC (Manifold) relay [mainnet-relay.securerpc.com](http://mainnet-relay.securerpc.com) from the **“must-use-some”** category due to sustained unavailability. * * * ## **Background** The relay was [previously promoted](https://research.lido.fi/t/proposal-inclusion-of-securerpc-com-mev-relay-as-a-mandatory-relay-in-lidos-mev-relay-list/8073) from optional to **“must-use-some”** based on its non-filtering design and alignment with decentralization goals. * * * ## **Issue** - The relay has been **unavailable for ~4 months** - Node operators consistently observe: - No recent communication or recovery timeline from the operator * * * ## **Rationale** Relays in the “must-use-some” category are expected to be **reliably operational**. A persistently unavailable relay: - adds unnecessary errors for node operators - provides no value in block building - undermines the reliability of the curated relay set * * * ## **Proposal** Remove the following relay: `https://0x98650451ba02064f7b000f5768cf0cf4d4e492317d82871bdc87ef841a0743f69f0f1eea11168503240ac35d101c9135@mainnet-relay.securerpc.com/` ---

Thanks for the proposal. I have shared it with the others in the RMC. I’ve also seen the downtime by Manifold. Reaching out to them so far has not resulted in a response so I’ve suggested to go ahead with the removal. As a reminder - [as of last year these changes are made through easytrack motion.](https://research.lido.fi/t/introduce-easytrack-factories-for-managing-mev-boost-relay-allowed-list/9638) I will share the vote once it’s made on-chain. ---

Just an FYI that the easyTrack motion is up and going to be enacted within the next 24hrs > **[Motion #1024 | Lido](https://dao.lido.fi/easy-track/motions/1024)** > > Lido Governance Portal: follow Lido DAO governance, votes, decisions, on-chain voting, Aragon proposals, and Dual Governance. ---

The proposal is enacted and the Manifold SecureRPC relay is removed from the list. Thanks to the committee 🙏
