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.
