Strategy is necessary, but it is not what separates a profitable searcher from a spectator. The deciding factor is usually time. By the time a pending transaction reaches you over a public RPC gateway, has been parsed, evaluated, and answered with a fresh state read across the network, the opportunity may already belong to someone closer to the chain. This post is about where those milliseconds go and how co-located node access closes the gap.</p> https://blazed.sh/blog/posts/how-to-access-ethereum-mempool/ Sat, 20 Jun 2026 14:00:00 +0000 https://blazed.sh/blog/posts/how-to-access-ethereum-mempool/ <p>Every transaction spends a moment in limbo between &ldquo;broadcast&rdquo; and &ldquo;mined&rdquo;. That waiting room is the mempool, and it is where a lot of the interesting work in Ethereum happens: a searcher spots an arbitrage before it lands, a bot front-runs a large swap, a liquidation watcher sees the transaction that will tip a position underwater.
