FastLane partners with Category Labs to launch the world's first fully decentralized MEV Protocol, aimed at helping Monad validators increase revenue while keeping MEV capture within the Monad ecosystem. The protocol consists of Sidecar and Auction Handler, requiring no trust assumptions or centralized intermediaries, promoting the standardization of decentralized MEV architecture.

Deep Tide TechFlow News, January 27, FastLane announced a collaboration with Category Labs to launch the world’s first fully decentralized MEV Protocol. The protocol aims to help Monad validators achieve higher yields while keeping MEV capture entirely within the Monad ecosystem.

It is reported that this MEV Protocol consists of two core components: Sidecar and Auction Handler. The overall design introduces no new trust assumptions, does not rely on centralized intermediaries, and does not involve blockbuilders, private relays, or private RPCs.

FastLane stated that the solution directly utilizes Monad’s existing validator set and transaction pool, implemented through RaptorCast. The Monad Foundation has confirmed that FastLane Sidecar complies with its VDP guidelines and will not affect validators’ eligibility for foundation-commissioned staking.

Industry experts believe that this release further consolidates FastLane’s leading position in Monad’s LST and MEV infrastructure layers and is expected to promote the standardized development of decentralized MEV architecture within the new generation of high-performance public chain ecosystems.
