Flashbots Protect gives users better prices as well as MEV and gas refunds

Flashbots Protect is a private RPC that protects transactions from MEV attacks and helps them earn gas and MEV refunds. To date, we’ve protected >27M transactions and refunded >400 ETH. Trusted by top wallets and dApps, we help you send transactions safely without worrying about wasted gas on failed attempts. Built by the team that pioneered MEV-Boost, we are battle-tested, offer the highest reliability and speeds (dashboard), and provide peace of mind.

Frontrunning Protection

Transactions are not seen by hungry frontrunning bots in the public transaction pool.

MEV and Gas Refunds

Unlock hidden value with gas refunds and MEV-sharing. Protect supports flows where users can recover gas or receive backrun rewards – a win for your users and your app.

Fast Inclusion

Best-in-class inclusion speeds, with >97% of txs included in 3 blocks and >75% included in the next block. Compare inclusion speeds in this dashboard.

Free Transaction Reverts

Transactions are only included on-chain if they do not revert, meaning users won’t pay money for reverts.

Customizable For Every Need

Choose your desired levels of privacy, routing, and refund likelihood to optimize for your needs.

Frontrunning protection

Transactions will not be seen by hungry sandwich bots in the public mempool.

No failed transactions

Transactions will only be mined if it doesn't include any reverts, so users don't pay for failed transactions. Note: transactions could be included in uncled blocks, emitted to the mempool, and then included on-chain.

Priority in blocks

Transactions sent via Flashbots are mined at the top of blocks, giving them priority.

Battle-tested

2.5M users and >$55B of DEX volume protected.
