To send your first commitment, you will need to connect to the mev-commit Testnet. This will allow you to consume bids incoming to the network and submit commitments. To do this, you'll want to run an emulator to simulate accepting and rejecting bids.
You can read more about the internal builder API here.
To get started with the emulator, open a new terminal and run the following command:
You require Go Version 1.21.1 to run the example emulator
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/primev/mev-commit.git && cd mev-commit &&
git checkout v0.3.0 && cd p2p/examples/provideremulator && go run .
Now you have a running instance of both an emulator that will auto-accept incoming bids and a provider node that will submit commitments on your behalf. We can take a deeper look at how you can add custom logic to decision on the sending of commitments.
To integrate bid processing in your system using the Provider API, follow these steps to receive bid information and send back processed bids:
Implement the Provider service as outlined in the providerapi.proto. This requires setting up a server that can manage RPC methods, with a particular emphasis on the reception of bids and response of commitment authorizations.
Utilize the ReceiveBids RPC method to listen for incoming bids from clients. This method streams bid messages to your server. The structure of the bid is as follows:
message Bid {
option (grpc.gateway.protoc_gen_openapiv2.options.openapiv2_schema) = {
json_schema: {
title: "Bid message"
description: "Signed bid message from bidders to the provider."
required: ["txHashes", "bidAmount", "blockNumber", "bidDigest"]
}
example: "{"bidDigest": "9dJinwL+FZ6B1xsIQQo8t8B0ZXJubJwY86l/Yu7yAH159QrPHU0qj2P+YFj+llbuI1ZygdxGsX8+P3byMEA5ig==", "status": "STATUS_ACCEPTED"}"
};
repeated string tx_hashes = 1;
string bid_amount = 2;
int64 block_number = 3;
bytes bid_digest = 4;
int64 decay_start_timestamp = 5;
int64 decay_end_timestamp = 6;
};Below is an image of the flow through which bids would be received through the gRPC API
For each received bid, implement your custom logic to validate and process these bids. This could involve checking the bid's validity and feasibility based on orderflow, computing the effective gas price, and deciding whether to accept or reject the bid.
After processing each bid, construct a BidResponse message indicating the outcome. This message should include the bid's digest and a status indicating acceptance or rejection.
At a high level, to commit to a bid, your code must send a STATUS_ACCEPTED with the bid digest specified, and correspondingly STATUS_REJECTED to reject the bid.
It contains the following fields:
- bid_digest: A byte array (bytes type) that represents the digest of the bid message signed by the bidder. This serves as a unique identifier for the bid in question.
- status: An enumeration (enum Status) that indicates the status of the bid. The status can be one of three values: STATUS_UNSPECIFIED: The default value, indicating that the status has not been set or is unknown. STATUS_ACCEPTED: Indicates that the bid has been accepted by the provider. STATUS_REJECTED: Indicates that the bid has been rejected by the provider.
- dispatch_timestamp: Timestamp (int64 type) at which the commitment is accepted by provider and is used to compute the expected revenue from the preconfirmation.
Deploy your gRPC server on suitable infrastructure, ensuring it's accessible to clients. Configure necessary network settings for security and connectivity. Example Server Implementation in Go:
import (
...
"github.com/primev/mev-commit/p2p/examples/provideremulator/client"
providerapiv1 "github.com/primev/mev-commit/p2p/gen/go/providerapi/v1"
)
func ...() {
...
providerClient, _ := client.NewProviderClient(*serverAddr, logger)
bidS, _ := providerClient.ReceiveBids()
for {
select {
case bid, more := <-bidS:
if !more {
return
}
logger.Info("received new bid", "bid", bid)
_ := providerClient.SendBidResponse(context.Background(), &providerapiv1.BidResponse{
BidDigest: bid.BidDigest,
Status: providerapiv1.BidResponse_STATUS_ACCEPTED, // decide here if you want to accept or reject
DispatchTimestamp: time.Now().Unix(),
})
}
}
}
