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

Using rpc.flashbots.net/fast as your RPC will send transactions to more block builders so they are included faster onchain

You can also look up the status of your transaction at protect.flashbots.net/status-docs

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.

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

how is the flashbots builder so much faster?
