bloxroute/mev-relay-proxy repository overview

⁠mev-relay-proxy

mev-relay-proxy allows validators to connect to mev boost relay via grpc.

⁠grpc support

mev-relay-proxy server proto files are defined as part of github.com/bloXroute-Labs/relay-grpc

⁠Installation

mev-relay-proxy can run in any machine, as long as it is reachable by the validator client. The default port is 18550. The most common setup is to install it in the same machine as the validator client.

⁠From source

Install the dependencies:

• Install Go 1.20⁠
• Install build dependencies (in Ubuntu):

sudo apt install make gcc

⁠Build:

make build

⁠Run:

⁠MEV Relay Proxy Docker Setup

This guide provides instructions on how to run the mev-relay-proxy as Docker container. a

⁠Prerequisites

• Docker⁠ installed on your machine.

⁠Steps

⁠1. Stop and Remove Existing Container

docker stop mev-relay-proxy
docker rm mev-relay-proxy

⁠2. Run MEV Relay Proxy Container

docker run --name=mev-relay-proxy \
--hostname=0ba39b5ff5c5 \
--workdir=/app \
-p 18550:18550 \
--restart=no \
--runtime=runc \
--detach=true \
bloxroute/mev-relay-proxy:v0.0.1 \
--addr 0.0.0.0:18551 \
--relays {RELAY_IP_1:PORT},{RELAY_IP_2:PORT}

• Relays can specify comma seperated list of relays to be connected from proxy. Replace RELAY_IP:PORT with the desired relay address.
• The MEV Relay Proxy should now be running and accessible at http://localhost:18551⁠.

⁠3. Configure MEV Boost to connect to mev-relay-proxy

• connect to mev relay proxy by configuring the relay proxy ip using --relay flag in mev boost

⁠How to configure relay proxy to MEV Boost

⁠Goerli testnet

Run MEV-Boost pointed at a Goerli relay and relay-proxy:

./mev-boost -goerli -relay-check -relays http://0x821f2a65afb70e7f2e820a925a9b4c80a159620582c1766b1b09729fec178b11ea22abb3a51f07b288be815a1a2ff516@bloxroute.max-profit.builder.goerli.blxrbdn.com,http://0x821f2a65afb70e7f2e820a925a9b4c80a159620582c1766b1b09729fec178b11ea22abb3a51f07b288be815a1a2ff516@54.164.127.218:18551 &

⁠Mainnet

⁠Max-profit

Run MEV-Boost pointed at a mainnet max profit relay and relay-proxy running as local host:

./mev-boost -goerli -relay-check -relays https://0x8b5d2e73e2a3a55c6c87b8b6eb92e0149a125c852751db1422fa951e42a09b82c142c3ea98d0d9930b056a3bc9896b8f@bloxroute.max-profit.blxrbdn.com,https://0x8b5d2e73e2a3a55c6c87b8b6eb92e0149a125c852751db1422fa951e42a09b82c142c3ea98d0d9930b056a3bc9896b8f@localhost:18551 &

⁠Regulated

Run MEV-Boost pointed at a mainnet regulated relay and relay-proxy running as local host:

./mev-boost -goerli -relay-check -relays https://0xb0b07cd0abef743db4260b0ed50619cf6ad4d82064cb4fbec9d3ec530f7c5e6793d9f286c4e082c0244ffb9f2658fe88@bloxroute.regulated.blxrbdn.com,https://0xb0b07cd0abef743db4260b0ed50619cf6ad4d82064cb4fbec9d3ec530f7c5e6793d9f286c4e082c0244ffb9f2658fe88@localhost:18551 &
