Every time a crypto transaction is executed on a blockchain, users must pay transaction fees, commonly referred to as gas fees. These fees can be artificially inflated by market-abusive behaviors such as front-running, back-running, sandwich attacks, arbitrage, or liquidation-driven MEV extraction. To date, end users and institutions have had limited ability to protect themselves against these practices, which often result in higher costs and loss of value during execution. Blink Labs is an infrastructure platform that enables wallet providers, RPCs, and custodians to protect users from harmful MEV behaviors and to recover value lost during transactions. Through MEV-aware routing and private transaction infrastructure, Blink allows platforms to reduce execution costs, improve transaction outcomes, and return recovered value back to end users.
