At Chorus One, our mission is to empower institutions, protocols, and individual stakers with the best-in-class infrastructure and yield opportunities across the Proof-of-Stake ecosystem. Today, we’re excited to announce a new partnership with MEV Zone, a permissionless protocol designed to bring transparent and standardized MEV extraction to Avalanche.

Introducing MEV Zone

MEV Zone is pioneering an Avalanche-specific implementation of Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS), a mechanism designed to optimize block production and democratize access to MEV (Maximal Extractable Value).

Through MEV Zone, validators run a custom client that receives block chunks from builders and assembles them into the final block. In return, validators receive a share of the block yield from the extracted opportunities.

This approach not only enhances validator rewards but also contributes to healthier network dynamics by ensuring that arbitrages, liquidations, and other MEV-driven market activities are executed in a transparent and standardized way.

What This Means for Chorus One Customers

As one of the largest and most trusted validation providers across Avalanche and 40+ other networks, Chorus One is proud to be the first partner of MEV Zone.

This collaboration will make MEV Zone’s innovative solution available to both:

  • Public nodes operated by Chorus One;
  • Validator-as-a-Service (VaaS) customers, who will now gain access to this additional yield source without any operational overhead.

By integrating MEV Zone into our infrastructure, we’re extending a new layer of yield opportunities for Avalanche validators and delegators, while ensuring the network benefits from more efficient and fair markets.

Transparent and Sustainable MEV

The broader MEV conversation in blockchain has often been clouded by concerns around fairness and opacity. By supporting MEV Zone, we believe Avalanche can set a new standard—where MEV is permissionless, transparent, and beneficial for both validators and the network’s long-term sustainability.

At Chorus One, we see this as an important step in our ongoing journey to provide robust infrastructure and innovative yield strategies for our partners and clients.
