 Block 15537940 is the first PoS block proposed by MEV-Boost. The Flashbots team is incredibly proud to be apart of such a big moment in the history of Ethereum. We want to thank ETH2 Working Group node operators, contributors, researchers, friends, the Ethereum community, and internal Flashbots mates for all the hard work and support leading up to this historic moment. We did it! 🥳 🎉 

Development updates

⭐  MEV-Boost v1.3.2 Released ⭐

This release went live September 22, 2022, and includes several notable upgrades and QoL improvements:

  • getPayload requests are sent only to the relay(s) which had the bid (not to every relay as before)
  • Enhanced logging which simplifies debugging, in particular on errors
  • -debug cli argument to enable debug logs
  • Improved end-to-end testing with Ethereum Foundation test data. Fixed potential issue with voluntary exits.
