# Builder API

Builder API implementing [builder spec](https://github.com/ethereum/builder-specs), making geth into a standalone block builder.

Run on your favorite network.

Requires `builder_payloadAttributes` update to be sent for block building, run [our Prysm fork](https://github.com/flashbots/prysm)

Test with [mev-boost](https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost) and [mev-boost test cli](https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost/tree/main/cmd/test-cli).

Provides summary page at the listening address' root (http://localhost:28545 by default).

## How it works

* Builder polls relay for the proposer registrations for the next epoch

Builder has two hooks into geth:
* On forkchoice update, changing the payload attributes feeRecipient to the one registered for next slot's validator
* On new sealed block, consuming the block as the next slot's proposed payload and submits it to the relay

Local relay is enabled by `--local_relay` and overwrites remote relay data. This is only meant for the testnets!

To connect to a remote relay use `--builder.remote_relay_endpoint`.

## Limitations

* Blocks are only built on a specialized call `builder_payloadAttributes`, see [our Prysm fork](https://github.com/flashbots/prysm)
* Does not accept external blocks
* Does not have payload cache, only the latest block is available

## Usage

Configure geth for your network, it will become the block builder.
