Today, we introduce a new thesis: MEV has become the dominant limit to scaling blockchains.
At a time when leading networks like Ethereum, its L2s, and Solana are racing to scale as fast as possible, the economic limits imposed by MEV are becoming apparent across the industry. Spectacularly wasteful onchain searching is starting to consume most of the capacity of most high throughput blockchains.
We are excited to announce Unichain is the first L2 to release Rollup-Boost and deploy TEE block building on mainnet!
Rollup-Boost upgrades the performance, programmability, and decentralization of L2s through an open marketplace for innovative extensions. Rollups become cheaper, faster, and more decentralized with Rollup-Boost. It gives L2s control and customizability over their block building modules to enable high-performance features such as fast confirmation times, strong user guarantees, and MEV internalization.
