What is OrderPath?
OrderPath is a private transaction-routing layer for Ethereum that routes signed transactions through an optimized builder network instead of the public mempool. This gives wallets, dApps, and infrastructure providers a drop-in way to:- Protect user transactions from frontrunning, sandwich attacks, and other MEV risks
- Reduce gas costs via priority-fee rebates
- Enable MEV rebates / value sharing when blocks generate surplus profit
- Maintain compatibility with standard JSON-RPC (
eth_sendRawTransaction) — no changes required on your end
Why OrderPath Matters
Public Mempool == Risk
Sending transactions via public RPC or mempool exposes them to bots that monitor pending transactions. This opens up your users to:- Front-running (bots see your tx before it’s mined)
- Sandwich attacks (bots place trades around yours to extract value)
- Higher gas fees due to uncertainty in inclusion time
Many Users Overpay Gas
To increase the odds of inclusion, users often overpay priority fees (tips). That surplus normally goes straight to validators/builders — with zero transparency or refund mechanism.Builders + MEV = Opportunity
Modern builders like Beaverbuild / BuilderNet can:- Accept private bundles
- Optimize transaction ordering
- Extract MEV profit (arbitrage, sandwich, liquidation, etc.)
- Refund overpaid gas fees and share block-level surplus
What You Get With OrderPath
How OrderPath Works — High-Level Flow
- User / dApp signs a transaction as usual.
- OrderPath RPC receives the signed
rawTransaction. - OrderPath wraps the tx in a private bundle, optionally with rebate/MEV parameters.
- Bundle is sent to a trusted block builder (e.g. Beaverbuild, BuilderNet).
- Builder includes the tx privately — not public mempool.
- On block inclusion:
- Refund transaction may trigger, returning surplus priority fees
- MEV-share payout, if the block generated surplus value, sent to configured recipient
- OrderPath records inclusion, rebate, and MEV-share; exposes data to users/partners via dashboard or API.
Who Benefits From OrderPath
- Wallet providers — offer users a safer, private, and cheaper execution option.
- DeFi apps & aggregators — protect trades from sandwiching while reducing effective gas cost.
- Infrastructure & RPC providers — add a premium “private + MEV-aware” layer on top of standard node infrastructure.
- High-volume traders / bots — reduce gas waste, avoid MEV losses, increase profit potential.
Getting Started
- Swap your RPC endpoint for OrderPath’s (e.g.
https://rpc.orderpath.xyz). - Send transactions with your existing tooling — no changes required.
- Optionally set rebate / MEV parameters if you want refunds / revenue-share.
- Use OrderPath dashboard or API to monitor inclusion, rebate status, and payouts.
Our Vision
We built OrderPath because we believe on-chain activity should be private, fair, and efficient — not auctioned off to the highest-paying bots. With OrderPath, every user, wallet, or dApp automatically benefits from:- Private execution
- Lower net gas cost
- Transparency
- Shared upside when their orders generate value
