The BDN is a private, low-latency network that routes transactions, bundles, and data faster than public protocols, across multiple blockchains.
What the BDN does
Routes Transactions Privately
Submit transactions and bundles through private, authenticated channels. Frontrunners and sandwich bots can’t see what they can’t reach.
Cuts Propagation Latency
Bare-metal relays colocated with validators and builders replace multi-hop gossip with direct, optimized routes. Single-digit-millisecond delivery in most regions.
Streams the Chain in Real Time
The same backbone that delivers your transactions pushes blocks, swaps, mempool, and shred data back to you, gap-free
How it works
bloXroute operates a global fleet of bare-metal relay nodes positioned in datacenters next to validators, builders, and exchanges. The network has been running on Ethereum since 2018 and now spans Solana, BSC, Base, Hyperliquid, Monad, and more.

FAQs
What is a Blockchain Distribution Network (BDN)?
A private, low-latency relay layer that sits beneath the public mempool and routes transactions, bundles, and data between traders, validators, and block builders faster than public gossip protocols can. bloXroute pioneered the category in 2018 and operates one across Solana, Ethereum, BSC, Base, Hyperliquid, Monad, and other major networks.
How does a BDN reduce latency?
By replacing multi-hop public gossip with direct routes between bare-metal relay nodes, colocated with the validators and builders that need the data. Single-digit-millisecond propagation in most regions, versus 100ms+ on public RPCs.
What is transaction propagation?
The process of broadcasting a transaction across a blockchain so validators can include it in a block. Faster propagation = higher probability your transaction lands in the next block.
What is MEV and how does a BDN help?
MEV, or maximal extractable value, is the profit available from reordering, including, or excluding transactions in a block. A BDN serves both sides: searchers get the lowest-latency path to deliver bundles to builders, and wallets get private submission channels that hide intent from frontrunners.
How do term discounts work?
A trader or bot that scans for MEV opportunities and submits bundles of transactions to capture them. Searchers compete on speed and strategy; the BDN is the rail their bundles travel on.
How do validators use a BDN?
Validators connect through a dedicated gateway to receive a stream of high-value bundles and MEV-aware block templates, increasing rewards earned per block while keeping public traffic and paid order flow cleanly separated.
What chains does bloXroute's BDN support?
Solana, Ethereum, BSC, Base, Hyperliquid, Monad, X-Layer, and additional networks as they reach production.
Is using a BDN secure?
Yes. Transactions travel over private, authenticated channels and aren’t broadcast to the public mempool unless you explicitly choose to. The BDN doesn’t custody funds, take counterparty risk, or modify your transaction payload — it only routes signed transactions on your behalf.
How is a BDN different from a public mempool?
A public mempool is the open queue every full node sees — fully visible, fully frontrunnable, only as fast as gossip. A BDN is a private, optimized overlay: faster routing, no public visibility until you choose, and direct delivery to the validators and builders that decide what gets into the next block.
