🚀 Open-MEV on Solana: The Future of Fair and Permissionless MEV by Toby Network

In a blockchain world dominated by closed ecosystems and centralized MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) capture, Toby Network is flipping the script. Welcome to Open-MEV—a permissionless, transparent, and community-governed infrastructure designed to redefine how MEV is captured and distributed on Solana.


🌐 What is Open-MEV?

At its core, Open-MEV is a free-market auction house for MEV opportunities. Think of it as the DeFi of MEV—a permissionless playground where:

  • Searchers hunt for profitable trading opportunities,
  • Validators construct optimized transaction bundles,
  • Relays bridge the communication gap,
  • And Stakers reap the rewards.

All of this runs through Toby’s hybrid MEV engine, Block Chef, where governance is handled not by a corporation, but by Toby’s community and ecosystem stakeholders.

🛠 The Infrastructure That Powers It
Toby Network’s tech stack isn’t just buzzwords—it’s a full-blown MEV machine built for speed, fairness, and decentralization:

🧠 Toby-Solana Client

An Open-MEV validator client that runs on Solana nodes, enabling direct communication between MEV searchers, relayers, and validators via a custom mempool.

🍳 Block Chef (MEV-Capture Engine)

  • MEV-Hub: Screens transactions with intelligent filtering.
  • Headchef: Processes and auctions MEV bundles for block inclusion.

⚙️ Validator Optimizer
Delegates staked assets to top-performing validators, boosting staker yields automatically.


🧬 Resolution Suite
Smart contracts that govern MEV auctions, reward systems, and governance.


📊 OtterFlow

A high-performance data stream delivering real-time blockchain and market data to enhance MEV capture strategies.

🛡 Security & Governance
Toby is committed to decentralized decision-making and robust security via audits and compliance-first engineering.

🤝 How It All Comes Together

Here’s how the participants fit in:

  • Stakers lock their assets and receive a share of MEV rewards.
  • Validators build blocks that include the most profitable transaction bundles.
  • Searchers discover MEV opportunities in real time.
  • Relays ensure smooth communication between actors.

💡 Why Open-MEV Matters

🌍 Democratized MEV: No gatekeeping, more opportunity for all.

💰 Higher Yields: Competitive market = better rewards for stakers.

🔍 Transparent & Auditable: Built for the public, not behind closed doors.

🔒 Network Security: A broader validator base means stronger decentralization.


🛤 The Road Ahead

Toby Network isn’t just building a product—it’s pioneering a movement. One where MEV becomes a tool for community growth, not corporate gain. They believe blockchain should stay true to its roots: open, decentralized, and permissionless.

The future of MEV is open—and it's being built on Solana with Toby.
