Show notes
In this episode, I'm joined by Devan Non, Ape Dev, and Jiran for a fascinating discussion all about NFT MEV. MEV, or Maximum Extractable Value, is the value that can be extracted from block production in excess of block rewards and transaction fees. Two of today's guests, Devan Non and Ape Dev, are a professional MEV searcher team. They observe the mempool to find arbitrage opportunities that they can act upon for profit. In this very special episode of Web3 Galaxy Brain, they reveal their techniques for NFT MEV and explain why they've decided to return to fungible MEV. Blockchain sleuth and etherscan expert Jiran lends his domain expertise to deepen this exploration of the NFT MEV landscape.It's extremely rare to hear MEV operators discuss their techniques. I was especially grateful for the opportunity to speak with today's guests. I hope you enjoy the show.Hosted by @nnnnicholasProduced by @0xmatthewb and @0xbrileighTopics Discussed Flashbots Risks as an MEV operator and overall strategy Flashmint DrBurry Cool Cats NFTx Killer GF NFT by Zeronis OpenSea market making Mevcollector Chainstride Flashmint, an order book for mint passes Wintermute Paradigm - A Guide to Designing Effective NFT Launches Superplastic: Supergucci Worm_emoji Mark Zuckerberg’s Sister Sings Crypto DrifterChapters00:14:26 Flashmint, the difference between MEV and trading00:21:21 Devan Non saving gas and flashbots00:34:10 What is Flashmint00:49:25 Devan Non’s favourite NFTs00:55:46 Ape Dev and Devan Non working in Ethereum before MEV01:10:30 Drifter
