Research Shows MEV Blocker Leads RPC Performance Metrics
馃攳 RPCs Battle It Out
A comprehensive study by researchers @VinyasAlex & @PaulJanicot evaluated four major MEV protection RPCs on Ethereum mainnet:
- MEV Blocker
- Merkle
- Blink
- Flashbots
The study analyzed 273 real transactions across multiple metrics:
- Inclusion Speed: MEV Blocker fastest at 1.34 blocks vs others 1.49-1.86
- Swap Execution: 9-21 basis points better output than competitors
- Success Rate: Near perfect transaction completion
- User Rebates: Highest backrun returns
Testing covered various token pairs (ETH-USDC, ETH-GNO, ETH-AAVE) from blocks 21344521 to 21637136.
Which RPC gives you the best swap prices on Ethereum? We measured it, and it's MEV Blocker 鉀憋笍 If you鈥檙e using the wrong RPC, you're literally getting worse token output on every swap. Here鈥檚 what we found 馃憞
New research just dropped: not all MEV-protecting RPCs are created equal. We tested the top RPCs live on Ethereum mainnet. Only one came out top across inclusion, execution, and rebates... You guessed it! It was MEV Blocker 鉀憋笍 Let's break it down 馃憞
Why Speed Matters: MEV Blocker is the Fastest RPC! Speed isn't just a nice-to-have, it's everything. The faster your tx gets confirmed, the better your price, the higher your backrun, and the lower your chance of being rekt by slippage. So which RPC is the fastest?馃憞
Understanding APR vs APY in DeFi: A Clear Guide
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) and APY (Annual Percentage Yield) are crucial metrics in DeFi, but they tell different stories about your potential returns. Key differences: - APR shows simple interest without compounding - APY includes compound interest, reflecting total annual returns - Same base rate can yield different results Understanding these metrics helps optimize your DeFi strategy and maximize yields.

Bridge Aggregators Explained: Simplifying Cross-Chain Token Transfers
Bridge aggregators are emerging as essential tools for cross-chain cryptocurrency transfers, addressing common pain points in DeFi: - Compare rates across multiple bridges automatically - Find the most cost-effective routes between blockchains - Reduce complexity in cross-chain transactions - Provide enhanced security through smart contract audits The recently launched Simple Bridge App demonstrates this technology in action, offering users: - Multi-network token transfers - Automated best rate discovery - Streamlined user experience Learn more at [Simple Bridge Documentation](https://brewlabs.gitbook.io/simple-bridge) Try it yourself: [Simple Bridge App](https://simplebridge.app)
Study Shows CoW Swap Leads Intent-Based DEXes in Decentralization and Volume
A comprehensive 6-month trading analysis reveals CoW Swap's dominance among solver-based DEXes: - **Higher Trading Volume**: ~$200M daily vs $60M (1inch Fusion) and $30M (UniswapX) - **More Decentralized**: Top solver only controls 25% market share, with next five at ~10% each - **Better for Large Trades**: Shows best execution improvement for trades over 100 ETH The study compared CoW Swap, 1inch Fusion, and UniswapX, finding solver-based DEXes generally outperform traditional alternatives through optimized routing and off-chain liquidity access.
