- flashbots/mev-boost-relay
- https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost-relay
- The canonical relay codebase. This is what we are building the optimistic relay on top of.
- flashbots/mev-boost
- https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost
- The validator EL (geth-fork) for interacting with the external builder network.
- flashbots/prysm
- https://github.com/flashbots/prysm
- The prysm fork used as the CL for the validation nodes of the relay and as the CL of the builder.
- flashbots/builder
- https://github.com/flashbots/builder
- The geth fork used as the EL of the builder.
- flashbots/block-validation-geth
- https://github.com/flashbots/block-validation-geth
- The geth fork used as the EL of the validation nodes in the relay.
- relayooor/geth
- https://github.com/relayooor/go-ethereum
- The geth fork used for the validation nodes of relay. Removes a few constraints from flashbots/block-validation-geth.
- flashbots/prio-load-balancer
- https://github.com/flashbots/prio-load-balancer
- The router that sits between the relay and the validation nodes and queues blocks.
- flashbots/relays-specs
- https://github.com/flashbots/relay-specs
- Defines the API for the relay data API and block submission.
- ethereum/builder-specs
- https://github.com/ethereum/builder-specs
- Defines the API for validators to outsource block building (naming is a bit confusing here, this is the API the proposer uses to talk to the relay, not the block builder).
- ralexstokes/mev-rs
- https://github.com/ralexstokes/mev-rs
- Rust toolkit for builders & builder network.
- ralexstokes/relay-monitor
- https://github.com/ralexstokes/relay-monitor
- A service to monitor the behavior of relays.
- flashbots/go-boost-utils
- https://github.com/flashbots/go-boost-utils
- A small utils library for
mev-boosttypes and signing.
