Don't forget about MEV (maximum extractable value). Block producers can front run your trades and do other interesting stuff to about 6% extra a year using something like flashbots.
- yieldcrv 4y agoHow can I get MEV people to want to use my validator for the blocks they want to bribe in? I get how that works in Proof of Work, but not this form of Proof of Stake.
- Sargos 4y agoWhen your validator is chosen to produce a block the client software asks flashbots for a list of transactions to include at the front of the block and you get paid for that. The validators produce blocks in a similar manner as miners do.
