A Searcher Builder Strategy describes the operational approach adopted by participants in the maximal extractable value ecosystem, specifically distinguishing between “searchers” who identify profitable transaction ordering opportunities and “builders” who construct blocks to capture these opportunities. This strategy often involves specialized algorithms and infrastructure to detect and execute arbitrage, liquidations, or sandwich attacks. The interaction between searchers and builders forms a competitive market for block space and transaction inclusion. It represents a key dynamic in blockchain transaction processing.
