ethstaker VS clientdiversity-org

Select your relays from our list on https://github.com/remyroy/ethstaker/blob/main/MEV-relay-list.md. You should use be using one or many of the values from the Relay URL column. Append or concatenate all those values by adding a comma (,) in between. The result should look something like https://relay1,https://relay2. We will need that value for the next step.

If your main concern is preventing bad actors, you can set your MEV relay to only be ones deemed ethical (here’s a list)

And what are the alternative/best relays? I found this list but when I try to use the first relay in there I get that sendBundle is not supported.

It's still very early, but a list of relay providers to use with MEV boost can be included. It would be fun to compare in a year on how many other relays there would be, either many more or zero because of implementation of PBS.

We are improving our MEV relay list with as much details as possible. You should be able to tell which relay is censoring or not. See https://github.com/remyroy/ethstaker/blob/main/MEV-relay-list.md

Alessandro said it'd be a few days before he can get me a data endpoint, but once that happens I'll have clientdiversity.org updated in a day or 2

Ethereum is the most decentralized transaction ledger in the world, with thousands of nodes distributed across the world, and more client diversity than any other blockchain that I'm aware of:

https://clientdiversity.org/

The move to Proof of Stake has also made solo validation accessible to parties other than large pools.

there are guides on https://clientdiversity.org/

Large number of nodes does not equal decentralization. In Ethereum, like all other networks/countries, power tends to consolidate. All the consensus power is consolidated to 1-2 entities.link Hedera is already far more decentralized.

Apparently that’s the case, yes: https://clientdiversity.org/ though the source says „data might not be 100% accurate“, but I guess it’s sure geth dominance is down.

Execution clients only run GETH. Client diversity isn’t even great per eth foundation: https://clientdiversity.org

10+ separate companies implement the protocol in 10 completely different independent code bases https://clientdiversity.org/

As I said this is the second time I did this "report" and asked for better sources the first time as well. In the end I did my best to find reliable sources, but even back then I really wasn't sure if these numbers are correct. And if you look at https://clientdiversity.org/ there are even two data sources you can choose that really differ... so +1 to the irony of our industry...
