Preconfirmations

bloXroute now supports pre-confirmation solutions for both Primev and Chainbound. Below is an overview of how our integration works.


Primev Integration

About Primev

Primev is an infrastructure provider offering pre-confirmation capabilities on Ethereum. They operate a custom chain alongside a set of Ethereum smart contracts to coordinate builder and validator participation in their preconf ecosystem.

Our Integration

Validator Tracking (Ethereum Mainnet)

  • We reference Primev’s validator opt-in contract on Ethereum Mainnet: 0x821798d7b9d57dF7Ed7616ef9111A616aB19ed64

  • A helper function is used to query validator participation status.

  • This contract maintains a list of validators who have opted into Primev’s pre-confirmation program.

Builder Tracking (Primev Custom Chain)

  • Primev maintains a contract on their own chain to track builder opt-in status: 0xb772Add4718E5BD6Fe57Fb486A6f7f008E52167E

  • Builders are mapped to externally owned accounts (EOAs) via a helper function that converts their public key to an address.

  • We query this contract through their public RPC endpoint: wss://chainrpc-wss.mev-commit.xyz

Validation Checks

  • Once per epoch, we validate the opt-in status of all known validators and builders.

  • This polling-based model ensures data consistency without requiring persistent event listeners.


Chainbound Integration

About Chainbound

Chainbound is another provider building a pre-confirmation solution for Ethereum, called Commit-Boost. Their focus is on enabling block builders to provide pre-confirmations directly to searchers and users, without requiring validator coordination. Chainbound’s architecture is designed to integrate seamlessly with builder workflows, offering lighter-weight guarantees and flexible integration points.

Our Integration

We’ve added support for Chainbound’s Commit-Boost protocol within our pre-confirmation infrastructure. It allows validators to manage proposer commitments—such as pre-confirmations—using a modular and extensible framework, without requiring coordination with external contracts or RPC endpoints.

Commit-Boost is designed to:

  • Run as a sidecar next to MEV-Boost or without.

  • Provide a unified platform for validator commitments (e.g., inclusion guarantees, blockspace futures).

  • Be extensible via plug-and-play modules.

  • Avoid fragmentation or duplicated infrastructure.


Technical References

Primev:

  • RPC endpoint: wss://chainrpc-wss.mev-commit.xyz

  • Validator opt-in contract: 0x821798d7b9d57dF7Ed7616ef9111A616aB19ed64

  • Builder opt-in contract (Primev chain): 0xb772Add4718E5BD6Fe57Fb486A6f7f008E52167E

Chainbound:

  • No RPC endpoint or smart contract required.

  • Uses Commit-Boost sidecar alongside or independent off MEV-Boost.
