"The partnership centers on sequencing, the behind-the-scenes process that determines how quickly a transaction confirms, which trades are prioritized, and how much users ultimately pay. Optimism says Flashbots' infrastructure, which is already responsible for building more than 90% of Ethereum's blocks, will now bring near-instant confirmations and user-friendly transaction ordering to every chain in the so-called Superchain. This matters because"
"Until now, advanced sequencing features such as ultra-fast settlement, frontrunning protection and custom compliance rules were only available to the largest chains with resources to build them in-house. With Flashbots on board, those features will be available via tools for any project building on Optimism's OP stack. Flashbots is best known for its work on MEV, or maximal extractable value, where its MEV-Boost tool has reshaped how blocks are produced."
Optimism is partnering with Flashbots to integrate advanced sequencing infrastructure across chains built on the OP Stack. The integration aims to deliver near-instant confirmations, user-friendly transaction ordering, faster settlement, frontrunning protection, and customizable compliance rules to any OP Stack project. Flashbots already builds the majority of Ethereum blocks and brings MEV-focused tooling such as MEV-Boost and Flashblocks. Some OP Stack chains already use Flashblocks to reach block times around 200 milliseconds and are testing verifiable ordering and priority blockspace. The rollout will expand these sequencing and R&D capabilities to Optimism mainnet and other OP Stack chains.
