Protective RPC Endpoints for Developers Introduced by GetBlock with MEV Safeguards

GetBlock, a leading provider of blockchain infrastructure services, has announced the launch of a new service aimed at creating a safer environment for developers and users across major blockchain ecosystems. This innovative solution, which integrates Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) mitigation directly at the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) layer, is designed to protect decentralized applications (dApps) from malicious transaction manipulation tactics such as frontrunning and sandwich attacks.

The new service, which is now available for four blockchain networks - Ethereum, Solana, BNB Smart Chain (BSC), and Base - comes as a response to the growing concern over MEV exploits, which pose a risk to end-users and burden developers with the need to implement their own in-app defenses. By routing user transactions through Merkle's private mempools and builder nodes, GetBlock's RPC gateway ensures transactions are bundled and processed securely within a private network, away from prying eyes and exploitative algorithms.

Collaborating with GetBlock on this special MEV-protected solution are industry leaders such as Eden Network and Flashbots. This collaboration is part of a broader trend in the Web3 space, where initiatives like this, which embed security deeply into the core infrastructure, are becoming increasingly common.

GetBlock's MEV-protected service offers several benefits to dApp developers. For starters, it maintains the same familiar API specifications, ensuring developers can continue working with their usual tools and workflows. Moreover, developers can activate the underlying Merkle protection protocols by choosing the MEV-Protected endpoint available within GetBlock's dashboard without requiring any changes to existing code.

All users on GetBlock's paid shared-node plans can access this enhanced security at no extra charge. However, free-tier users are required to upgrade to benefit from the MEV-protected feature. For high-throughput and institutional clients, GetBlock is developing a dedicated MEV-protected solution.

GetBlock's leadership is confident that this enhancement represents a significant step toward a more secure and equitable blockchain environment. By providing developers with practical tools to combat one of the most persistent threats in decentralized finance today, GetBlock's latest move is set to redefine the landscape of blockchain security.
