Kubi Mensah - Gattaca and the MEV Supply Chain

In this episode, we chat with Kubi, co-founder of Gattaca, most well known for its Ethereum block builder Titan. We discuss Gattaca’s journey as a trading firm and how that led them to infrastructure development across the Ethereum MEV supply chain. We then explore their strategic approach to launching Titan Builder in an already competitive builder market, and touch on the catalysts involved in its rapid rise in market share. We also dive into the broader MEV landscape, including vertical integration, offchain auctions, private and exclusive orderflow, and the growing focus on recapturing MEV and returning value to the user. Lastly, Kubi shares more about Gattaca’s latest release - an off-chain bundle inclusion mechanism with custom configurations for transaction originators, including value recapture, timing preferences, and more.
