# arbOnlyMEV Stream

The `arbOnlyMEV` stream provides real-time access to private transactions that carry arbitrage potential. These transactions are submitted privately via bloXroute’s and are not visible in the public mempool or standard transaction feeds.

Searchers use this stream to identify MEV opportunities and submit backrun-only bundles.

Service available via Cloud API only.
