Skip Select

Skip Select is a blockspace auction system that allows searchers to capture MEV in the Cosmos ecosystem, across a variety of chains, and for validators, stakers, and searchers to share in the rewards.

Please see our documentation below for how to integrate and use our endpoints.

For validators​

Get started right away

Check out Quickstart to set up Skip Select now. It takes 5 minutes.

Validators that integrate with Skip Select:

  • Allow MEV to be captured in their blocks without needing to sign headers for unseen blocks, increasing block rewards without sacrificing their builder rights
  • Can prevent toxic MEV strategies like frontrunning & sandwich attacks, while still capturing revenue from other forms of MEV
  • Can configure how much MEV revenue to keep and how much to share with delegates and the network
  • Do not need to modify their consensus key signing services (e.g. Horcrux, TMKMS, or custom), or make any new security assumptions

The process of integrating with Skip Select is very easy:

  • Estimated time: 5-10 minutes
  • Estimated downtime: < 10 s with Cosmovisor
  • No need to make any modifications to consensus key signing services
  • No need to make changes to sentry ↔  signing node configurations

All you need to do is register for an API key and rebuild your chain client mev-tendermint according to the the instructions in Quickstart
