Ethereum’s OFAC-compliant blocks have started to decrease after peaking in late November. This improvement is thanks to the efforts of Flashbots as well as the community prioritizing neutrality over profits. The relay market is still dominated by Flashbots’ MEV-boost but is moving in the right direction. The builder market is more distributed. Ethereum staking returns peaked in November at 11% as the FTX hacker traded with high slippage. Since then, the returns have fallen into a range of 5% to 6%.
