- Battle-tested private routing and protection Claude · GPT · Gemini“Battle-tested private routing with exceptionally broad builder reach, frontrunning and revert protection”
- Configurable privacy-to-rebate settings Claude · GPT · Gemini“highly configurable data disclosure settings (via MEV-Share) that allow advanced practitioners to optimize the exact privacy-to-rebate ratio they want”
- Deep builder reach and ecosystem maturity Claude · GPT“deepest builder connectivity means best inclusion reliability among private RPCs”
- MEV-Share backrun rebates Claude · GPT“refunds a share of backrun value via MEV-Share”
What the models credit MEV Blocker (#1) with — and don’t credit Flashbots Protect
- Seamless zero-config rebate mechanism Gemini“seamless, zero-config rebate mechanism”
- Returns about 90% of captured value Gemini · Claude“returns ~90% of captured value to the user”
- Wide wallet adoption Claude“free, permissionless, wide wallet adoption”
What would move the rank — the models’ fix lines, unified
- Trust, privacy, and censorship assumptions GPT“associated trust, privacy, and censorship-policy assumptions”
- Delayed or slower block inclusion Claude · Gemini“maximum-privacy default settings can result in delayed block inclusion”
- High configuration complexity Claude · Gemini“high configuration complexity for non-technical users”

The reference implementation of MEV protection — free, no signup, one-click RPC swap that routes transactions privately to builders, refunds a share of backrun value via MEV-Share, offers configurable privacy/speed hints and revert protection, and is operated by the team that defined the MEV mitigation space; deepest builder connectivity means best inclusion reliability among private RPCs
GPT Battle-tested private routing with exceptionally broad builder reach, frontrunning and revert protection, MEV-Share rebates, configurable refund-versus-inclusion-speed settings, open-source infrastructure, and more than 66 million processed transactions; a near-tie with MEV Blocker and preferable when Flashbots ecosystem maturity matters most.
Gemini The pioneer in private mempool routing and the benchmark for stability. It is in a near-tie with MEV Blocker, earning its high rank due to its highly configurable data disclosure settings (via MEV-Share) that allow advanced practitioners to optimize the exact privacy-to-rebate ratio they want.
Where Flashbots Protect falls short, per the models
- GPT Transactions depend on Flashbots’ private order-flow infrastructure and its associated trust, privacy, and censorship-policy assumptions.
- Claude Inclusion can be slower than the public mempool during low-priority-fee periods since transactions only land via connected builders, and its default privacy settings share some order-flow hints — maximally privacy-sensitive users must tune hints manually
- Gemini It has high configuration complexity for non-technical users, and its maximum-privacy default settings can result in delayed block inclusion when searchers cannot bid to backrun.
