Base Transaction Speed Benchmarks: bloXroute Global Endpoint vs Public Endpoints & Cloud API Trading on Base happens in milliseconds, and every millisecond counts. To quantify the impact of latency on performance, we benchmarked bloXroute’s Global Endpoint (our premium Base submission endpoint) against our Cloud API (regional, free) and two public Base endpoints. Benchmark setup: all tests were run from Tokyo (<2 ms latency to all endpoints), sending identical transactions with the same gas prices. Results: across every test, the Global Endpoint consistently outperformed all alternatives, winning ~99–100% of races and achieving better block positioning in nearly all cases. The bloXroute Global Endpoint provides the fastest, most reliable path to the Base sequencer, giving traders: • Higher inclusion probability • Earlier block positions • Lower latency variance As Base adoption grows, every millisecond matters. 🔗 Read the full benchmark breakdown: https://lnkd.in/gbZC5xhU

Introducing traceBlocks: Real-Time State Diffs + Logs for BSC Running MEV bots or analytics tools on BSC just got a lot easier. Traditionally, extracting state diffs and logs required tracing every transaction locally - a slow and resource-intensive process. With traceBlocks, that overhead disappears. Our new BSC stream delivers full state diffs and emitted logs for every transaction, straight from bloXroute’s BDN. That means faster insights, reduced infrastructure, and actionable data you can rely on, instantly. Use traceBlocks to: - Run MEV simulations directly on executed blocks - Build advanced monitoring and analytics tools T- rack protocol-level state changes in real time Available now on BSC via Cloud API WebSocket.

The MEV-Protect Pilot is live! Exclusive orderflow has been hurting Ethereum’s decentralization and competition, but there’s a way to fix it. Our MEV-Protect feature ensures validators get fairly rewarded for their blocks, rejecting underpaying blocks unless the builder adds more. This safeguards revenue and promotes healthier MEV markets. We’re now launching a pilot with leading validators, targeting 15% stake before full activation. 📈 Expected boost: 5–10% higher Execution Layer rewards. We’ve also added new Data API endpoints so validators can: 🔹 Monitor payouts and compliance in real time 🔹 Spot-check underpayment and lost value 🔹 Evaluate the impact of MEV-Protect Read the full post and learn how to join the pilot: https://lnkd.in/gw8JHhpz

We’re excited to launch the TON Trader API, a private transaction gateway designed to level up trading on The Open Network. Traders can now submit atomic bundles directly to validators, bypassing the public mempool to avoid frontrunning and ensure full execution. Built on bloXroute’s proven relay infrastructure, the API supports MEV tip sharing, protects execution integrity, and integrates with MEVTon, TON’s emerging MEV layer. Key launch features: - Private, low-latency transaction delivery - Atomic bundle execution - Validator tip sharing - Support from Chorus One, Twinstake, Hipo, P2P - Performance improves as more validators join This API is ideal for MEV searchers, quant firms, and DeFi protocols seeking reliable and private execution on TON. 👉 Use our Quick Start guide: https://lnkd.in/gtHzhcBB 📆 Book a call with the bloXroute team: https://lnkd.in/gP8mcc6F

Milliseconds matter, especially on BNB Smart Chain. We benchmarked bloXroute’s mempool feed against BlockRazor to quantify how much faster our infrastructure is at delivering new transactions. The results speak for themselves: 📍 Frankfurt • 313k transactions compared • bloXroute saw 59% of txs first • Avg. latency advantage: 9.1ms faster • P10 edge: up to 37.4ms faster 📍 Virginia • 381k transactions compared • bloXroute saw 68% of txs first • Avg. latency advantage: 9.8ms faster • P10 edge: up to 27.2ms faster Across both regions, bloXroute consistently delivered transactions first, often by double-digit millisecond margins. That kind of edge can make or break a trading strategy. We also broke down latency distributions, revealing that: ✔️ Over 40% of transactions were seen ≥10ms faster ✔️ bloXroute led across all key percentiles up to the median ✔️ Tail-end reversals were minor and didn’t change the overall outcome For use cases where speed is critical , like MEV, arbitrage, or real-time DeFi, bloXroute gives you the infrastructure advantage.

Stay tuned. Ethereum & BSC – Gateway Upgrades • ETH Gateway v2.130.16: Support for the upcoming Pectra hardfork • BSC Gateway v2.130.13: Prepares for the Lorentz hardfork

Q1 is a wrap! We rolled out major upgrades across Solana, Ethereum, BSC, and Base—focused on speed, performance, and giving traders, validators, searchers, and dApps the fastest, most reliable infra in the game. Here are some of the highlights: 🔹 Solana • Optimized Feed Relays (OFRs): Receive shreds 30–50+ ms faster than Turbine • OFR Transaction Streamer: Real-time gRPC transaction feed • New regions: Amsterdam & Frankfurt 🔹 BNB Smart Chain • Joined the BNB Goodwill Alliance to block harmful MEV • New bundle features: support for <1 gwei & end-of-block placement 🔹 Base • Launched real-time block streaming via gRPC 🔹 Ethereum • RProxy now live in 8 global regions for improved builder/validator propagation • Pre-fetching improves latency and success rates • Supporting preconfirmations via Primev & Chainbound Ready to get started? 📅 Book a demo: https://lnkd.in/gP8mcc6F 🧪 Start testing with a free Intro account: https://lnkd.in/gFzWEM5d

Introducing Optimized Feed Relays (OFRs): The Fastest Way to Receive Solana Shreds In Solana trading, milliseconds make or break trades. The faster you receive and process data, the better your edge. That’s why we built OFRs, a game-changing upgrade that delivers Solana shreds faster and more reliably than ever before. With OFRs, traders and validators get: ✅ Ultra-fast shred delivery—outperforming Solana’s default Turbine protocol ~98% of the time. ✅ Lower latency—giving traders a critical edge in execution and validators a smoother consensus process. ✅ Direct access via bloXroute’s Solana BDN Gateway—so you can consume shreds efficiently and speed up Geyser updates. The result? Faster execution, better block synchronization, and a real-time market advantage. If you’re an HFT, market maker, DeFi trader, or validator looking to maximize performance on Solana, it’s time to get ahead. 📖 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gjqB9g_V

The Ethereum Pectra upgrade is on the horizon — a major step toward a more scalable, user-friendly, and efficient network. Set to activate in early 2025, Pectra brings a range of improvements across Ethereum’s execution and consensus layers, addressing critical challenges like scalability, validator efficiency, and user experience. Key enhancements include: 🔑 BLS Precompile (EIP-2537): Unlocks advanced cryptographic tools, enabling better privacy, security, and scalability. ⚡ Validator Balance Increase (EIP-7251): Reduces network strain by allowing higher effective balances, encouraging validator consolidation. 💪 New Transaction Type (EIP-7702): Brings more flexibility to externally owned accounts — a stepping stone to full account abstraction. At bloXroute, we're proactively testing our relay network and MEV services on Ethereum DevNets to ensure full compatibility with Pectra from day one. Our infrastructure will remain optimized to deliver ultra-low latency transaction distribution and seamless MEV performance — no interruptions, just faster transactions.
