Selecting MEV Relays

On the machine running your node, run this script developed by Obol to check your MEVBoost relay latency:

docker run -it obolnetwork/charon:v1.1.0 alpha test mev --endpoints=https://0xa15b52576bcbf1072f4a011c0f99f9fb6c66f3e1ff321f11f461d15e31b1cb359caa092c71bbded0bae5b5ea401aab7e@aestus.live,https://0xa7ab7a996c8584251c8f925da3170bdfd6ebc75d50f5ddc4050a6fdc77f2a3b5fce2cc750d0865e05d7228af97d69561@agnostic-relay.net,https://0x8b5d2e73e2a3a55c6c87b8b6eb92e0149a125c852751db1422fa951e42a09b82c142c3ea98d0d9930b056a3bc9896b8f@bloxroute.max-profit.blxrbdn.com,https://0xb0b07cd0abef743db4260b0ed50619cf6ad4d82064cb4fbec9d3ec530f7c5e6793d9f286c4e082c0244ffb9f2658fe88@bloxroute.regulated.blxrbdn.com,https://0xb3ee7afcf27f1f1259ac1787876318c6584ee353097a50ed84f51a1f21a323b3736f271a895c7ce918c038e4265918be@relay.edennetwork.io,https://0xac6e77dfe25ecd6110b8e780608cce0dab71fdd5ebea22a16c0205200f2f8e2e3ad3b71d3499c54ad14d6c21b41a37ae@boost-relay.flashbots.net,https://0xa1559ace749633b997cb3fdacffb890aeebdb0f5a3b6aaa7eeeaf1a38af0a8fe88b9e4b1f61f236d2e64d95733327a62@relay.ultrasound.money,https://0x8c4ed5e24fe5c6ae21018437bde147693f68cda427cd1122cf20819c30eda7ed74f72dece09bb313f2a1855595ab677d@titanrelay.xyz

In this script, you can input any mev-relay endpoint after "endpoints=". Add the ones you want to use.

The output should look like this:

Usually you will have some relays with poor performance, meaning more than 100ms latency. You should remove those and stay connected to all relays with good or average performance.

This works the same way on Holesky.
