SSE subscription for newPayload event
Block builders in the MEV-Boost ecosystem need a few bits of information to start block building as soon as possible. This information is available at at the newPayload event, or after a timeout if the BN missed a slot, so block production is still triggered. Currently a custom BN fork is needed to trigger block production in time.
Chris Hager wants to propose adding another SSE event subscription to the beacon-APIs, which can be used to trigger block production.
Here is the complete GitHub Issue on SSE Subscription for newPayload event to Trigger Block Building.
MEV-Boost Bug
According to Chris Hager, On the launch day of MEV-Boost, there was a bug that caused missed slots when a deposit was included. This bug was resolved since version v1.3.1, i.e., on 16th September. It was present in the decoding the getPayload request body, which would fail if a deposit is included in the SignedBlindedBeaconBlock sent to the relay. The total impact was three missed slots. This bug was firstly identified by Enrico del Fante. Here is the complete Post Mortem Analysis by Chris Hager.
