OFAC-Compliant Block Production and MEV
This report discusses Twinstake’s approach to OFAC-compliant block production, and analyzes the impact of taking a compliance-first approach on total MEV rewards.
The analysis indicates a negligible difference in MEV earnings between OFAC-compliant and non-compliant relayers, highlighting that a commitment to compliance does not significantly impact profitability. It also examines some potential drivers of any variance between OFAC-compliant and non-OFAC-compliant blocks: outlier blocks, overlapping blocks, and operational setup.

This report traces Solana's infrastructure transformation over the past five years, from an operationally immature network into one of the most competitive venues for on-chain high-frequency trading.
It follows that journey chronologically: the early years in which validator performance was largely indistinguishable, the memecoin-driven demand shock of 2024 that exposed latency as the critical bottleneck, and the emergence of an execution layer built around MEV extraction, transaction routing and shred propagation. Client diversity, XDP kernel-bypass networking and the Alpenglow consensus overhaul are now closing the gap with centralised trading venues.
Download the report to learn why validator selection, transaction routing and staking strategy are increasingly connected decisions for institutions, and what that means for due diligence.
