Titan Builder Earns $2.28 Million in a Single Day as Top Ethereum Protocol
Current overview (not historical)
Titan Builder leveraged a transaction ordering mechanism to earn $2.28 million in a single day, ranking first among Ethereum protocol revenues. Reports indicate that hackers swapped stolen USDT and USDC into unfreezeable tokens to pay fees, effectively "cutting in line" by purchasing ETH at high prices. This activity pushed Titan Builder to the top of the daily revenue chart, surpassing Tether at $16.99 million and Circle at $6.76 million in total protocol earnings, though Titan's figure represents its own daily take. The protocol's revenue surge highlights ongoing issues with transaction fee manipulation on Ethereum, where actors exploit ordering dynamics to extract value, impacting the broader ecosystem's fee distribution.

Report first recorded Nov 2, 12:55
Following the Binance hack, Titan Builder, a 16-person London-based infrastructure firm, earned $2.28 million in a single day by prioritizing Ethereum transactions. As hackers needed to convert frozen USDT and USDC into unstaked assets, they paid premiums to expedite transactions. Data from Bitquery shows builders received $29.5 million in tips, a 2,000-fold increase from the prior night, while transaction failures surged. Titan Builder, which controls block building and connects to over 90% of validators, captured the majority of these fees, reflecting its dominant position in Ethereum's block-building market.
