MEV protection, arbitrage infrastructure, and trading bot optimization. $3B+ extracted annuallyโhere's how proxy infrastructure plays a critical role.
Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) has evolved from a niche technical concern to a multi-billion dollar industry. In 2026, almost 70% of Uniswap transactions are conducted by bots, and MEV operations consume 40% of Solana blockspace while paying only 7% of fees.
| Chain | Q2 2025 MEV | Market Share | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solana | $271M | 40% | MEV bots consume 40% of blockspace |
| Ethereum | $129M | 25% | Flashbots dominates private pool |
| Tron | $165M | 30% | Growing DeFi ecosystem |
| Arbitrum | $45M | 15% | L2 MEV increasing |
| Base | $38M | 12% | Top 2 searchers = 50% gas |

First to buy new token launches on DEXs
Distributed RPC calls across multiple IPs prevent rate limiting and provide redundancy. When your Alchemy or Infura endpoint gets throttled, your bot continues executing.
Competitors analyze RPC traffic to reverse-engineer profitable strategies. Distributed proxy infrastructure makes pattern analysis significantly harder.
In MEV, milliseconds matter. Geographic proxy distribution lets you access nodes closest to validators and reduce transaction propagation time.
Cross-chain arbitrage requires simultaneous monitoring of multiple chains. Proxy pools let you scale RPC connections without endpoint exhaustion.
If you're a regular DeFi user rather than a bot operator, here's how to protect your transactions:
Submit transactions directly to validators, bypassing public mempool
Use private transaction pools that dont broadcast to public mempool
Aggregate private pools with refund mechanisms
Reduce maximum slippage to make sandwich attacks unprofitable
