Our primary focus is to enable a *permissionless*, *transparent*, and *sustainable* ecosystem for MEV, via a three-pronged approach: 4 | 5 | * **Illuminate**: Bringing transparency to MEV activity. 6 | * **Democratize**: Democratizing access to MEV revenue. 7 | * **Distribute**: Enabling sustainable distribution of MEV revenue. 8 | 9 | Our efforts are separated into three sub-organizations: 10 | * **Product**: builds core infrastructure and ecosystem tooling that redefines the block production supply chain. This includes [MEV-Boost](https://boost.flashbots.net/), [SUAVE](https://writings.flashbots.net/the-future-of-mev-is-suave) as well as [Flashbots Protect RPC](https://docs.flashbots.net/flashbots-protect/overview), [mev-geth](https://github.com/flashbots/mev-geth), [MEV-Inspect](https://docs.flashbots.net/flashbots-data/mev-inspect-py/overview) and [MEV-Explore](https://explore.flashbots.net). 11 | * **Research**: an open, transparent, and [collaborative research effort](https://github.com/flashbots/mev-research) that explores MEV market dynamics and blockchain design challenges at the intersection of economics, security, and cryptography. To fuel the collaborative nature of our research, anybody can submit a [Flashbots Research Proposal](https://github.com/flashbots/mev-research/blob/main/process.md) (FRPs) and might become eligible for a grant. 12 | * **Coordination**: an organizational effort to streamline operational processes, interface with external teams in the ecosystem and scale ourselves to maximize our impact. 13 | 14 | Flashbots Research and Product are tightly-coupled dual engines that propel our organization forward in a phased approach: 15 | * Long-term oriented research efforts spec out and update our roadmap, define our organization’s phases and identify key milestones. 16 | * Milestone-oriented engineering efforts ship core infrastructure and ecosystem tools while collecting data and other artifacts that feed back into research. 17 | 18 | Our work is open source and you can follow our progress in each respective repository of the Flashbots organization. Anyone is welcome to comment on an issue or pick it up entirely. 19 | 20 | ### Community 21 | The best way to interact with the Flashbots community is through our [forum](https://collective.flashbots.net/), which is our central communication platform for conversations, announcements and information sharing. We also publish monthly [transparency reports](https://collective.flashbots.net/search?q=transparancy%20report%20%23ship%20in%3Atitle) that aggregates information and provides summaries on everything Flashbots and MEV. 22 | 23 | ### Join us! 24 | We are not your typical project, we are fully remote and our principles are based on that of a [pirate hacker collective](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0fAznO1wA8).

If you are an institutional or collective participant in Flashbots Relay that provides us with personal data on individuals connected to you for any reason in relation to your participation in the Flashbots Relay or through other communications including Discord, this will be relevant for those individuals and you should transmit this document to such individuals or otherwise advise them of its content. 12 | 13 | *Your personal data, if any, may be processed by the Company, and by persons engaged by the Company. Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have rights, and the Company has obligations, with respect to your personal data. The purpose of this notice is to explain how and why the Company, and persons engaged by the Company, will use, store, share and otherwise process your personal data. This notice also sets out your rights under the Data Protection Legislation, and how you may exercise them.* 14 | 15 | ### YOUR PERSONAL DATA 16 | 17 | By virtue of being either a Transaction Submitter or a Transaction Acceptor (the “**Services**”), (including the initial application and ongoing interactions with the Company and any affiliates and persons engaged by the Company) or by virtue of you otherwise providing us with personal information on individuals connected with you (for example directors, trustees, employees, representatives, shareholders, investors, clients, beneficial owners or agents), you may provide us with certain personal information which constitutes personal data within the meaning of the Data Protection Legislation. 18 | 19 | We may also obtain personal data on you from other publicly accessible directories and sources. These may include websites; blockchains, bankruptcy registers; tax authorities; governmental agencies and departments, and regulatory authorities, to whom we have regulatory obligations; credit reference agencies; sanctions screening databases; and fraud prevention and detection agencies and organisations, including law enforcement. 20 | 21 | This includes information relating to you and/or any individuals connected with you such as: IP address, device information, geolocation, name, residential address, email address, contact details, corporate contact information, signature, nationality, place of birth, date of birth, tax identification, credit history, correspondence records, passport number, bank account details, source of funds details and details relating to your Relay activity. 22 | 23 | ### HOW THE COMPANY MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA 24 | 25 | The Company, as the data controller, may collect, store and use your personal data for purposes including the following. 26 | 27 | The processing that is necessary for the performance of Relay, if any, including: 28 | - administering or managing the Company; 29 | - performing Miner Authentication in connection with your involvement in the Relay project of the Company; 30 | - processing your Relay transaction, including failed transactions; 31 | - sending you reports relating to your Relay transaction; 32 | - facilitating the continuation or termination of the contractual relationship between you and the Company; and 33 | - facilitating any transfer of funds, and administering and facilitating any other transaction, between you and the Company. 34 | 35 | The processing may be necessary for compliance with applicable legal or regulatory obligations, including: 36 | - undertaking due diligence including anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing checks, including verifying the identity and addresses of Transaction Submitters or Transaction Acceptors (and, where applicable, their beneficial owners); 37 | - sanctions screening and complying with applicable sanctions and embargo legislation; 38 | - complying with requests from regulatory, governmental, tax and law enforcement authorities; 39 | - surveillance and investigation activities; 40 | - carrying out audit checks, and instructing our auditors; 41 | - maintaining statutory registers; and 42 | - preventing and detecting fraud. 43 | 44 | In pursuance of our legitimate interests, or those of a third party to whom your personal data are disclosed, including: 45 | - complying with a legal, tax, accounting or regulatory obligation to which we or the third party are subject; 46 | - assessing and processing requests you make; 47 | - sending updates, information and notices or otherwise corresponding with you in connection with your participation in the Relay; 48 | - investigating any complaints, or pursuing or defending any claims, proceedings or disputes; 49 | - providing you with, and informing you about investment products and services; 50 | - managing our risk and operations; 51 | - complying with audit requirements; 52 | - ensuring internal compliance with our policies and procedures; 53 | - protecting the Company against fraud, breach of confidence or theft of proprietary materials; 54 | - seeking professional advice, including legal advice; 55 | - facilitating business asset transactions involving the Company or related entities; 56 | - monitoring communications to/from us (where permitted by law); and 57 | - protecting the security and integrity of our IT systems. 58 | 59 | We will only process your personal data in pursuance of our legitimate interests where we have considered that the processing is necessary and, on balance, our legitimate interests are not overridden by your legitimate interests, rights or freedoms. 60 | 61 | The Company continues to be a data controller even if it has engaged other third parties to perform certain activities on the Company's behalf. 62 | 63 | ### SHARING YOUR PERSONAL DATA 64 | 65 | We may share your personal data with our affiliates and delegates. In certain circumstances we may be legally obliged to share your personal data and other financial information with respect to your Relay transaction with relevant regulatory authorities such as the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority or the Tax Information Authority. They, in turn, may exchange this information with foreign authorities, including tax authorities and other applicable regulatory authorities. 66 | 67 | The Company’s affiliates and delegates may process your personal data on the Company's behalf, including with our banks, accountants, auditors and lawyers which may be data controllers in their own right. The Company's services providers are generally processors acting on the instructions of the Company. Additionally, a service provider may use your personal data where this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which it is directly subject (for example, to comply with applicable law in the area of anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing or where mandated by a court order or regulatory sanction). The service provider, in respect of this specific use of personal data, may be deemed to be acting as a data controller. 68 | 69 | In exceptional circumstances, and to the extent possible after notice to you, we will share your Personal Data with regulatory, prosecuting and other governmental agencies or departments, and parties to litigation (whether pending or threatened) in any country or territory. 70 | 71 | ### SENDING YOUR PERSONAL DATA INTERNATIONALLY 72 | 73 | Due to the international nature of our business, your personal data may be transferred to jurisdictions that do not offer equivalent protection of personal data as under the Data Protection Legislation. In such cases, we will process personal data or procure that it be processed in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation, which may include having appropriate contractual undertakings in legal agreements with service providers who process personal data on our behalf. 74 | 75 | ### RETENTION AND DELETION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA 76 | 77 | We will keep your personal data for as long as it is required by us in connection with a single Relay transaction. For example, we may require it for our legitimate business purposes, to perform our contractual obligations, or where law or regulation obliges us to. We will generally retain your personal data throughout the lifecycle of the specific Relay transaction you are involved in. Some personal data will be retained after your relationship with us ends. We expect to delete your personal data (at the latest) once there is no longer any legal or regulatory requirement or legitimate business purpose for retaining your personal data. 78 | 79 | ### AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING 80 | 81 | We will not take decisions producing legal effects concerning you, or otherwise significantly affecting you, based solely on automated processing of your personal data, unless we have considered the proposed processing in a particular case and concluded in writing that it meets the applicable requirements under the Data Protection Legislation. 82 | 83 | ### YOUR RIGHTS 84 | 85 | You have certain data protection rights, including the right to: 86 | - be informed about the purposes for which your personal data are processed; 87 | - access your personal data; 88 | - stop direct marketing; 89 | - restrict the processing of your personal data; 90 | - have incomplete or inaccurate personal data corrected; 91 | - ask us to stop processing your personal data; 92 | - be informed of a personal data breach (unless the breach is unlikely to be prejudicial to you); 93 | - complain to the Data Protection Ombudsman; and 94 | - require us to delete your personal data in some limited circumstances. 95 | 96 | ### CONTACT US 97 | 98 | We are committed to processing your personal data lawfully and to respecting your data protection rights.

If any provision of these Terms of Service is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain effective and enforceable. 140 | 141 | ### DISPUTE RESOLUTION 142 | 143 | Except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise, these Terms of Service and any access to or use of the Flashbots Service will be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands, without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof. All disputes of any nature related to these Terms of Service shall be determined by final and binding arbitration in the Cayman Islands before a single arbitrator. The parties shall agree on the rules and procedures to be followed in the arbitration. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, the arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and the arbitrator shall apply the laws applicable in the Cayman Islands (without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof). Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The foregoing arbitration provisions shall not preclude either party from seeking an injunction or other provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall, in the arbitral award, allocate all or part of the costs of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator and reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party, for payment by the non-prevailing party, and shall determine the prevailing party for this purpose. The parties further agree that (i) any claims brought by either party must be brought in such party’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and (ii) the arbitrator may not (x) consolidate more than one person’s claims, (y) otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding or (z) award class-wide relief. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 144 | 145 | ### CONTACT 146 | 147 | If you have questions about these Terms of Service, You can contact us by email at legal@flashbots.net 148 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /recordings.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Flashbots MEV Roasts & Community Calls 2 | 3 | ## MEV Roast Recordings! 4 | 5 | MEV Roast is a bi-monthly discussion that stems from the research collective MEV Pi-rate Ship tradition.
