Interview with a Searcher - with MEV Senpai and Hasu

Uncommon Core 2.0

For our latest episode, I sat down with MEV Senpai, one of the top searchers in Ethereum. He gave us the unique inside perspective of someone who finds and captures MEV himself. The result was a long & intense convo, one of the best I've had in a while.

We discussed:

• The structure and actors of the MEV game
• What is searching, how can you learn it, what edges exist
• Intro to private relays and transaction bundles
• The role of Flashbots in DEX trading
• and, of course, the hot topic of the day: short-term reorgs in Ethereum

Enjoy!

Listen to conversations between Su Zhu, the CEO and CIO of Three Arrows Capital, and Hasu, an experienced crypto researcher and writer. Together with occasional guests, we explore the transformative nature of trust-minimized currency and financial services.
