web3-flashbots.py
Project description
This library works by injecting flashbots as a new module in the Web3.py instance, which allows submitting "bundles" of transactions directly to miners. This is done by also creating a middleware which captures calls to eth_sendBundle
and eth_callBundle
, and sends them to an RPC endpoint which you have specified, which corresponds to mev-geth
.
To apply correct headers we use the flashbot
method which injects the correct header on POST.
Quickstart
from eth_account.signers.local import LocalAccount
from web3 import Web3, HTTPProvider
from flashbots import flashbot
from eth_account.account import Account
import os
ETH_ACCOUNT_SIGNATURE: LocalAccount = Account.from_key(os.environ.get("ETH_SIGNATURE_KEY"))
w3 = Web3(HTTPProvider("http://localhost:8545"))
flashbot(w3, ETH_ACCOUNT_SIGNATURE)
Now the w3.flashbots.sendBundle
method should be available to you. Look in examples/simple.py for usage examples.
Goerli
To use goerli, add the goerli relay RPC to the flashbot
function arguments.
flashbot(w3, ETH_ACCOUNT_SIGNATURE, "https://relay-goerli.flashbots.net")
Development and testing
Install poetry
Poetry will automatically fix your venv and all packages needed.
poetry install
Tips: PyCharm has a poetry plugin
Simple Goerli Example
See examples/simple.py for environment variable definitions.
poetry shell
ETH_SENDER_KEY=<sender_private_key> \nPROVIDER_URL=https://eth-goerli.alchemyapi.io/v2/<alchemy_key> \nETH_SIGNER_KEY=<signer_private_key> \npython examples/simple.py
