“The short seconds between when a blockchain transaction is submitted, and when it is final, is the most valuable and important moment in finance—and also the least understood. Blocknative is developing crucial infrastructure to monitor & manage blockchain transaction processing.”

The Costs of Swapping on the Uniswap Protocol

We present the first in-depth empirical characterization of the costs of trading on a decentralized exchange (DEX). Using quoted prices from the Uniswap Labs interface for two pools — USDC-ETH (5bps) and PEPE-ETH (30bps) — we evaluate the efficiency of trading on DEXs.

The False Narrative of MEV Protection

Private transactions have taken off across the Ethereum ecosystem. In the graph below you can see that private transactions have been steadily growing post-Merge from ~5% to nearly 15% of all smart contract interactions today, with a large jump around April and May. The reason for many of these private transactions is to protect users from being frontrun by MEV bots that target their transactions in the public mempool.
