Do you ever wake up in the morning thinking about blockspace?
Do you enjoy working on complex problems at the cutting edge of technology?
Do you thrive working with a tightly-knit team and don’t mind getting your hands dirty?

👷 Builder Dominance and Searcher Dependence
We have decided to provide some transparency on the Builder landscape by using our proprietary data to explore the relationship between Searcher flow and Builder market share. 🧵
Full article:
We are testing a new feature that allows searchers to specify the target position of their bundles within a block. Looking for searchers that already submit bundles to Titan to help beta test. Dm's are open
The rumours are true - we’ll be hosting our first ever event at ETH Denver in collaboration with
@HashKey_Capital
. Sneak peek of the agenda below, with more speakers and panels to be announced soon!
Apply here:
Limited spots available.
It’s been 4 months since our public launch!
With ~15% market share (7d) and over 50k blocks built, we’re incredibly proud of our progress.
Our analytics however show that we’re still not receiving bundles from ~50% of all Searchers!🥲
Plz RT to help us reach more Searchers 🙏
🚨 PSA: WE’RE BACK!
Our domain suspension has been lifted and we’re back online.
We're in the process of scaling our builders back up, you can now start sending us bundles & transactions at our usual endpoint again:
FYI: We have added a list of all our builder pubkeys to our Docs:
If you see a block that appears to have been built by us, but the pubkey is not listed on our website, it was not us.

We got an email out of the blue this morning saying that our domain () has been suspended. This means that DNS resolutions for RPC requests will start failing soon.
While we try to resolve this issue, please use the following URLs, to make rpc requests 👇🏻
Last week we built our 100,000th block on Ethereum!🎉🎉🎉
Check out our latest substack post to see what we've been up to (spoiler alert: we had our first impersonator!), and don't forget to subscribe to receive future updates! 👇
The cat’s out of the bag! The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed we started rolling out our relay on mainnet.
We’ll share a detailed post soon, for now we wanted to front-run any conspiracies and clarify our relay will be open to all builders and won't be vertically-integrated
Recordings from Beyond the Block at ETHDenver are now live! We want to extend our thanks to all the speakers and panelists for sharing their insights, and to all attendees for their engaging questions and positive vibes. We hope to do this again soon!
1/ The videos are up from “Beyond the Block" MEV research day with
@titanbuilderxyz
. The line-up of speakers were incredible, introducing many new ideas and concepts. Here is a recap thread

The builder has set our address (titanbuilder.eth) as the block fee recipient, but sends the proposer payment transfer from their own address (titanpayload.eth)
These blocks are being built entirely at the imposter's expense and we estimate it has cost them >17 ETH so far.
We're proud to be supporting MEV Blocker, built by our friends
@CoWSwap
,
@GnosisDAO
and Agnostic relay!
If you want to minimise the chances of being front-run or sandwiched, head on over to and add the RPC endpoint to your wallet.
Attention 📈Traders: we have now been added to Flashbots Protect's builder list!

1/🍵 The second serving of Technical Teatime with Titan is ready to be sipped!
Today, we're unpacking our priority queueing system - an essential read for any Ethereum Searcher!👇
We are looking for extremely passionate and hungry software engineers and data scientists to join our team.
Must haves:
- Extremely driven and motivated (see previous tweet)
- Strong sense of ownership
- True grit and resilience
- Some Rust experience (software engineering only)
Only hiring in UTC +/- 1 or people willing to relocate to those timezones.
If you’d like to find out more about our openings, please send your resume and a short, genuine note on why you are interested in joining us to careers [at]
We have recently built our 10,000th block on Ethereum, a milestone we're quite proud of considering we only launched a few months ago! 👷♂️
Read our first post to find out more about our approach to block building:
Howdy Searchers!
We're now accepting bundle submissions at:
We support the standard endpoints and eth_sendBundle with replacements/cancellations, as well as refundPercent (see )
Come say hi on our Discord:
It's time for our first Tech Teatime! ☕️
Read below to see what we've been up to, and sign up to our substack to stay up to date with our future releases:
We found 38 active builders, with the top four alone holding an impressive 87% market share.
The higher market share correlates with a significantly higher number of searchers submitting to them. This suggests a strong preference among searchers for these dominant builders.
5/✨ Tips to optimise your priority queue:
- 🚫 Don't spam
- 🖋️ Always sign your headers
- 📈 Aim for a high inclusion rate while sending value-packed bundles
Our Ethereum block analytics dashboard is now in beta! It provides insights into the formation of blocks from mempool transactions & the sources of block value. It also shows the competition among builders for the best blocks. Visit

However, when we normalise builder market share to account for variances in searcher flow, the gap between the top four builders and some smaller builders narrows. This implies that smaller builders could compete if they had similar flow.
Integrating Titan builder is super easy!
Follow this link:
And then these steps:
1. Expand the "Advanced options"
2. Select "Titan" from the Builders list
3. Click on "Connect Wallet to Protect"
5/ 🔍 Status Codes Explained (2/2):
- ExcludedFromBlock: Valid but not picked. Likely due to insufficient bribe or late submission
- IncludedInBlock: Included in a block but not selected for relay submission
- Submitted: Included in a block submitted to a relay
3/🔢 We've created four distinct queues:
- High Priority: Signed header + Reputation
- Medium Priority: Signed header
- Low Priority: Unsigned header
- Ultra-low Priority: For those, well... not-so-helpful bundles!

2/🔍 So, what are priority queues?
Think of them as our way to efficiently handle the vast influx of Searcher bundles, ensuring we process the most valuable ones promptly to achieve our objective of building the most valuable block possible within the cut-off time.
6/ 📫We Want Your Feedback!
This is an early version of our bundle tracing feature, and we're keen to make it as useful as possible for you. Feel free to drop your thoughts and suggestions on our Discord Server:
4/ By default, bundles enter the Low or Medium queues based on their headers.
🎟High value + high inclusion rate? That's your ticket to the High Priority queue
⚠️ But beware! Searchers sending excessive bundles with low inclusion rates might end up in the Ultra-low priority pit
New builders face a 'chicken-and-egg' problem. They rely on block subsidisation to gain market share and struggle with outreach and trust establishment. Searcher-builder entities have an advantage here, but potential conflicts of interest may arise.
