  4. The Ethereum ecosystem has undergone significant changes due to the increased use of private transactions executed through dark pools. The popularity of these transactions has been growing since March, leading to noticeable transformations in the network.

    Ethereum and Private Transactions

    According to Blocknative's analysis, users are increasing the number of private transactions to avoid front-running bots. Private transactions account for about 30% of all transactions on the Ethereum network, while consuming more than half of all gas fees.

    Avoiding Bots with Private Transactions

    Private transactions are routed directly to block proposers or validators within dark pools, avoiding front-runner bots. These transactions are outside public mempools, preserving them from maximum extractable value (MEV).

    > "Users typically choose to transmit transactions privately for MEV protection, particularly when conducting more complex – and hence gas-intensive – on-chain actions such as swaps." – Blocknative.

    A small number of block builders, such as Titan, Beaver, Flashbots, and Rsync, dominate the network's private flow, significantly increasing their metrics since March.

    Centralization and Volatility

    The Blocknative report highlights that the rise in dark pool usage leads to unpredictable and highly volatile gas fees. This raises centralization concerns, as only authorized participants can execute private transactions.

    Reduced observability in mining fees and a high level of stuck transactions also contribute to this issue. Users may find their transactions stuck due to excessively low fees or overpaying to ensure their transaction is included in a block.

    The increase in private transactions on Ethereum significantly impacts the network ecosystem, causing both positive and negative effects. It is important to continue monitoring this trend and seek ways to improve network accessibility and transparency.
