An Offer Builders Can't Refuse:The Searcher Integration Saga - MEV Space #2 Preview
13K Transactions, 9K ETH: Inside the Searcher-Builder Integration Phenomenon
In the first 11 months of 2024, three powerhouse searcher-builders—MEV Frontrunner Yoink, C0ffeebabe.eth, and Turbobuilder—pulled in a staggering 9K ETH tips from just 13K transactions, including hacks, arbitrages, and liquidations. Searcher-builder integration has become a phenomenon the Ethereum ecosystem can’t afford to ignore.
The growing prevalence of searcher-builder integration has emerged as a key factor in how MEV is extracted and distributed in the Ethereum ecosystem. What started as a natural evolution in the PBS ecosystem has become dominant, raising important questions about market dynamics, privacy considerations, and ecosystem health. From Shutter Network's work on privacy-preserving solutions to Sorella's research on MEV capture and the deep insights into order flow dynamics, our speakers today represent different angles of this complex puzzle.
Co-host: Blair Marshall, MEV Solution Architect of Fastlane.
Speakers:
Luis Bezzenberger, founder of Shutter Network.
David Phillips, Order Flow expert.
Yuki Yuminaga, Founding Research and Growth of Sorella Labs, Research Partner of Fenbushi Capital.
We will discuss:
How do you calculate the actual net income of a builder?
The impact of searcher-builder integration on the health of Ethereum.
How would you evaluate the effect of Inclusion Lists solutions on searcher-builder integration? I.E., FOCIL or MCP.
Are TEE and BuilderNet helpful in relieving damages?
If the only way to survive as a small builder is to become a searcher-builder, what changes must happen to stop this trend?

Meanwhile, please check out our recap of the first MEV Space.
MEV Space #1 Recap: Breaking the Ethereum Builder Duopoly
The MEV landscape is experiencing unprecedented centralization, with just two builders controlling 95.7% of MEV-Boost blocks. On December 3rd, we gathered eight brilliant minds from academia, infrastructure providers, and builders to explore this crisis and potential solutions in the first of the Twitter Space series - MEV Space.
