Application
- Has the relay operator posted in the Call for Relays thread with the information required for application?
- Is the relay operator publicly available?
- Is the relay publicly listed and maintained? If yes, please link to the dashboard/webpage.
- Is the relay open source? If yes, please link to the repository.
- Is the relay code audited? What’s the most recent audited version of the code and have significant changes been made to the code base since?
- Are there any ethical or non-neutral considerations about the relay to disclose? This includes MEV strategies such as transaction reordering or censorship such as address filtering and sanctions/legal compliance.
- How does the relay source from builders and searchers? (e.g. are they internal, external 3rd parties, publicly open, private, permissioned, permissionless)?
- What is the relay operator’s policy for at-fault technical mishaps which result in missed proposals?
- Do we have all the necessary disclosures and contact information about the relay operator?
Yes — Kevin from ETHGas posted an application message announcing launch on mainnet and included the requested details below.
YES
YES — mainnet endpoints provided: http://0x88ef3061f598101ca713d556cf757763d9be93d33c3092d3ab6334a36855b6b4a4020528dd533a62d25ea6648251e62e@ap-relay.ethgas.com/, http://0x88ef3061f598101ca713d556cf757763d9be93d33c3092d3ab6334a36855b6b4a4020528dd533a62d25ea6648251e62e@eu-relay.ethgas.com/, http://0x88ef3061f598101ca713d556cf757763d9be93d33c3092d3ab6334a36855b6b4a4020528dd533a62d25ea6648251e62e@us-relay.ethgas.com/; Hoodi endpoint provided: https://0xb20c3fe59db9c3655088839ef3d972878d182eb745afd8abb1dd2abf6c14f93cd5934ed4446a5fe1ba039e2bc0cf1011@hoodi-relay.ethgas.com/
YES — https://github.com/ethgas-developer/ethgas-mev-boost-relay/
YES — the operator states they are transparent about transaction/address filtering policies and offer configurations that either include OFAC-based address filtering (censoring) or do not (non-censoring) when validators register via exchange; see https://github.com/ethgas-developer/ethgas-preconf-commit-boost-module (enable_ofac = true).
Revenue
- How is the relay funded and/or sustained?
- What is the revenue/profit sharing model (if any) of the relay?
- Is this model transparently disclosed and well understood?
Testing
- Does the relay operator have a testnet relay?
- How many days have node operators tested this relay?
- Has the relay been tested for a minimum of two weeks?
- What was the success and failure rate of the relay’s proposed blocks?
- Were there any incident or degraded performance reports from Lido Node Operators while testing the relay? (e.g. missed proposals due to missing/late payloads, validator registration errors, relay timeouts, etc.)
- Were observed issues and incidents during testing investigated and resolved sufficiently in a timely manner?
- Are there considerations and data to be observed and included from mainnet performance?
- Has there been a report compiled to analyze the new relay with performance data on testnet and mainnet?
