Manifold Relay protocol
Overview
Manifold Relay (mainnet-relay.securerpc.com) was an MEV-Boost relay operated by Manifold Finance that acted as an intermediary between Ethereum block builders and validators, forwarding block bids for inclusion in the beacon chain. It no longer appears among the active Ethereum MEV-Boost relays.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Manifold Relay connects to 4 tracked entities, most strongly to Manifold Finance, Ethereum, Ethereum.

Frequently asked questions
What is Manifold Relay?
Manifold Relay was a MEV-Boost relay that enabled validators to receive blocks from builders via the mainnet-relay.securerpc.com endpoint. It is no longer among the active relays in the Ethereum proposer-builder separation ecosystem.
How does Manifold Relay ensure trustlessness?
Manifold Relay was a fork of the standard Flashbots mev-boost-relay software and verified builder submissions before forwarding them to validators. Like other MEV-Boost relays it remained a trusted intermediary rather than a fully trustless system.
What was the motivation behind Manifold Relay?
Manifold Relay was developed to provide a censorship-resistant and reliable relay option for Ethereum validators, aiming to improve decentralization of the MEV-Boost infrastructure.
What is Manifold Relay connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Manifold Relay is linked to 4 other tracked entities, most strongly to Manifold Finance, Ethereum, Ethereum.
