Flowra launches Open Orderflow Auction for Solana blockspace

• Flowra launches an open auction for Solana blockspace and MEV.
• Early tests showed a 20.6% increase in compute units per block.
• Programmable policies give Solana validators more control over blocks.

Flowra has launched an Open Orderflow Auction (OOA), a new block-building framework for Solana designed to introduce greater competition into the network's maximal extractable value (MEV) market and potentially increase validator revenue.

The Seoul-based blockchain infrastructure company said the system allows registered searchers to compete for transaction inclusion through a transparent auction instead of relying on closed orderflow channels.

Flowra said the approach could improve price discovery while allowing validators to capture more of the value generated by MEV.

Flowra opens Solana block building to competition

The Open Orderflow Auction is intended to create an open marketplace for Solana blockspace, allowing searchers to compete through bids for transaction inclusion.

Flowra's approach is inspired by competitive block-building models that have emerged on Ethereum.
