In this week's bonus interview, we are joined by Blocknative CEO and Co-founder Matt Cutler to dive into the world of MEV and order flow on Ethereum. They explore how the proof-of-stake transition has impacted block building, the economics and incentives faced by builders and relays, and the prevalence of private order flow. Matt shares his thoughts on protocol changes like MEV-Geth and burning and how to make order flow more equitable for users. Looking ahead, he discusses how L2 scaling could reshape MEV dynamics and why Blocknative remains committed to improving Ethereum despite its flaws.  - - Follow Matt Cutler: https://twitter.com/mcutler Follow Sam: https://twitter.com/swmartin19 Follow Dan: https://twitter.com/smyyguy Follow Blockworks Research: https://twitter.com/blockworksres Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3foDS38 Subscribe on Apple: https://apple.co/3SNhUEt Subscribe on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3NlP1hA Get top market insights and the latest in crypto news.

Blocknative is a Web3 infrastructure company, enabling dynamic user experiences and better decisions via pre-chain insights. Tune in as we unpack influences from Sean's education technology background, demystifying Web3, asynchronous work and Blocknative's process from onboarding team members. It was refreshing to hear his thoughts on perfectionism: “the business is changing so rapidly, so I've learnt to be okay with ‘good enough' and not spend too much time future-proofing”. We all need to remind ourselves about this, as the less you get things out the door and test, the less you learn. You can find Sean on Twitter or at his website seanoconn.org.

Before, we had miners who extracted value and dubbed this term Miner Extractable Value. Now, we have maximum extractable value (new term, of course).This episode is a deep dive into what makes up the ever so valuable block space of Ethereum. We discuss the ins and outs of possible MEV opportunities now, the differences in blocks post merge with validators and we even tap into some of the tokenomics that make ETH an amazing long term bet.Sitting down with Matt Cutler from BlockNative was a pleasure (and shoutout to them, if you or a protocol wants to do more with ETH staking/block building/research, I'd hit them up).Thanks for sticking around during the wild times.This episode combined with the stats on ultrasound.money really showcase the bright future for Ethereum.Cheers,Andy

Ethereum is the second biggest thing in crypto, and it may one day flip Bitcoin in market cap. But the big news around Vitalik's creation is the upcoming switch from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. We have questions and concerns about this major change in how the Ethereum chain will operate.  So today we welcome Matt Cutler of Blocknative to the show to answer all our questions about the Ethereum merge. Someone call 911 because it's an Ethmergency on episode #630 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. Full Show Notes at:  00:00 - Intro - Twitter and jokes; don't miss 08:02 - Matt Cutler, CEO of Blocknative 08:43 - A pre-chan internet? Is that possible? Matt gives his history in the technology space 09:40 - What is Blocknative?  11:03 - When did you get on board with blockchain and crypto?  12:25 - Early introduction to the Internet, and a comparison to the current early cryptocurrency market and adoption.  14:18 - What's broken with Ethereum that we even need to move from POW to POS?  15:12 - We need more scalability for transactions beyond the current 13-14 transactions per second. Matt explains.  16:50 - In order to get to a future state without sacrificing decentralization, Ethereum determined it would be best to move from POW to POS.  17:25 - In a POW system, you need to operate computers to solve problems on the network, which also require large amounts of energy to operate. Externalities include the conversion of cryptocurrency to fiat to afford operating the system. These are problems proof-of-stake can solve. 18:45 - Reduced energy impact of operating the network is a benefit. 19:45 - What is the easiest, dumbed down way to explain the Ethereum Merge?  22:28 - What are we going to see? Are we going to see lower gas fees?  24:48 - Is there going to be a time where the Ethereum miners are going to be upset and earning less money? Will that cause people to flock to Ethereum Classic? 28:51 - Miles Sudor makes the case this merge is extremely dangerous for some of the reasons you mentioned, including UDC basically decides which chain wins and which chain loses. All of this introduces due to the OFAC regulation that base layer protocol censorship would be introduced on Ethereum, meaning very centralized crypto, which is not what Ethereum was intended to be. What are your thoughts on that?  36:41 - According to my research, there are over 4,000 ERC-20 tokens. What about those tokens? Will the Merge be noticeable to them? Will they have to upgrade their tokens?  42:32 - Let's play a game here, and I want you to think about a nightmare scenario. What is the worst thing that could happen if everything goes belly-up here?  43:30 - The nightmare scenario for any chain - Bitcoin, Ethereum - is that the network stops producing blocks. 45:18 - This is a big event in technology.  45:55 - What's the best case scenario? People are saying this is like a triple-halvening.  49:25 - What is Vitalik saying about the Merge?  49:50 - What should people be thinking about doing now, because if it is proof of stake, where and how should we be staking our Ethereum to earn other Ethereum?

Today, we're talking about the mempool and MEV with Matt Cutler of Blocknative.Matt told me that any given block has 150 to 250 transactions. For context, block times range from,  a few  seconds on Ethereum to 10 minutes on Bitcoin. At any time, there's actually 80,000 to 250,000 pending transactions to get into that block with only about 200. That is insane competition for block space. How does this actually work? How does it affect the gas prices? Which tax every trade? What does MEV mean? And how does it affect traders today? We're gonna find out.And if you want to learn even more about MEV and how it will be impacted by the upcoming Ethereum Merge? Check out Blocknative's blog.

Matt Cutler is the Co-Founder and CEO of Blocknative and a gigabrain when it comes to Ethereum's hidden power structures and all things blockchains. As Ethereum approaches the merge, these power structures are going to change. What will this post-merge future look like? Will users get paid to use Ethereum? Matt explains everything from first principles and it helps illustrate the complexities of everything discussed in this insightful episode. By the end of it, you'll have a better understanding of the purpose of blockbuilders, the new post-merge roles, all things MEV, and so much more. ------

Gas fees? With Ethereum, and so many more blockchains, you need gas to process your transactions, yet so many people still do not understand the concept of gas and why it's needed.

Matt Cutler grew up in an idyllic setting in Connecticut, roaming the woods with friends and playing soccer. He attended M.I.T. where he started his first company, NetGenesis, at the dawn of the Internet era. Having that experience with web1, Cutler sees parallels today in the web3 world where the move again is toward decentralized applications. His latest firm, Blocknative, helps web3 developers, traders and others navigate the perils of the mempool, where blockchain transactions sit before being added to the next block. This is Dark Forest territory. It's a fascinating and little-understood part of web3 and I spoke to Cutler to help cut through the confusion.

I've been carrying them in my head for thirty years, and I've been living them. Over time (sadly or fortunately), the thing I got really good at was looking at businesses and figuring out the point of maximum leverage to actually create wealth and capture some of that created wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Seek wealth, not money or status. - Naval Ravikant    Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant    Money is how we transfer time and wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.    You're not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity—a piece of a business—to gain your financial freedom.  - Naval Ravikant       The most important skill for getting rich is becoming a perpetual learner. You have to know how to learn anything you want to learn. The old model of making money is going to school for four years, getting your degree, and working as a professional for thirty years. But things change fast now. Now, you have to come up to speed on a new profession within nine months, and it's obsolete four years later. But within those three productive years, you can get very wealthy. - Naval Ravikant     Important quotes from the podcast by Naval on Leverage:   “Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.”  —Archimedes    To get rich, you need leverage. Leverage comes in labor, comes in capital, or it can come through code or media. But most of these, like labor and capital, people have to give to you. For labor, somebody has to follow you. For capital, somebody has to give you money, assets to manage, or machines. - Naval Ravikant   Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media). - Naval Ravikant   Capital and labor are permissioned leverage. Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you. Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you. - Naval Ravikant   Code and media are permissionless leverage. They're the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant   If you can't code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts. - Naval Ravikant   Leverage is a force multiplier for your judgment. - Naval Ravikant   Apply specific knowledge, with leverage, and eventually you will get what you deserve. - Naval Ravikant   “We live in an age of infinite leverage, and the economic rewards for genuine intellectual curiosity have never been higher. Following your genuine intellectual curiosity is a better foundation for a career than following whatever is making money right now.” - Naval Ravikant   Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship   There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant   You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.    But usually, the real wealth is created by starting your own companies or even by investing. In an investment firm, they're buying equity. These are the routes to wealth. It doesn't come through the hours. - Naval Ravikant
