Ethereum

I submitted a transaction via Flashbots Protect RPC 50 mins ago and the transaction just never got published lol

What happens now? Can I assume it's not happening at this point? Should I send a replacement tx with the same nonce to be sure? Being in the dark with a signed transaction out there doesn't feel great

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

whoa just had 2 txns fail with the normal RPC then fast mode was instant

how is the flashbots builder so much faster?

Nice! Glad it improved.

The way fast mode works is that it sends your transaction to other (non flashbots) block builders. Since the flashbots builder only builds a fraction of blocks, sending to other builders increases your likelihood of landing onchain.

ahh I see, I read the docs incorrectly. thanks!

hmm appreciate the heads up but seems like a worthwhile tradeoff given my little experience

weird because I've used normal mode without issues in the past, but had 2 txns pass the 25 block limit today so just never got processed

take note that fast one lets your failing txs land onchain and waste your eth

normal one never includes failing txs
