We developed the mevwatch.info dashboard as a free public good for the Ethereum community, because we believe very strongly that the Ethereum base layer needs to remain credibly neatral and censorship resistant. The purpose of the dashboard is to track the percentage of blocks built by OFAC compliant mev-boost relays since the Merge (as a percentage of mev-boost proposed blocks or all blocks).

The Ethereum Merge that occurred on September 15, 2022, has enabled the rise of mev-boost due to the wider distribution of block proposers compared to a small set of miners in charge of block production under PoW. Mev-boost is a service that Ethereum POS Validators have the option to run to outsource their block production duties to the highest bidder, effectively increasing their APR. When setting up mev-boost, Validators add to their config which relays they would like to accept blocks from.

At the time of writing there are seven major mev-boost relays including Flashbots, BloXroute Max Profit, BloXroute Ethical, BloXroute Regulated, BlockNative, Manifold and Eden. Of the 7 available major relays only 3 do not censor according to OFAC compliance requirements. OFAC compliant relays will not include any transactions that interact with the Tornado Cash smart contract or other sanctioned wallet addresses as designated by OFAC.

Not all blocks built by OFAC compliant relays are censoring, however, all blocks built by OFAC compliant relays will censor when non-compliant transactions are broadcast to the network.

While the mev-boost related censorship issue still exists on Ethereum, Labrys will continue to track it’s impact and provide updates to the Mev Watch dashboard.

EarthFund is a DAO-controlled crowdfunding platform for projects and ideas that can build a better tomorrow. It was built to give everybody a meaningful voice in the shape of their future.

It’s a fundraising platform on the blockchain. Decentralised and autonomous, but with all the user-friendly features of Web2, EarthFund is a platform designed for mass adoption.

Users on EarthFund can join communities for causes they’re passionate about, fundraise the money they need, and vote as a collective which world-changing projects get the funding they need to make a difference.

Voting is handled off-chain by Snapshot. Ensuring the results are verifiable and the voting process is tamper-resistant. (Votes and relayer receipts stored in IPFS). Once consensus has been reached, the result is then executed on-chain.

EarthFund engaged Labrys to design, write and deploy the core smart contracts and infrastructure that underpins the platform. This includes the Governor Contract, Clearing House Contract, ERC20 Singleton Contract and Token Staking Contract. Together these contracts allow the EarthFund DAO to vote on and spin up sub-DAOs for individual causes, each of which consisting of it’s own ENS subdomain, Gnosis Multisig wallet and ERC20 Governance Token.

PxQuest is an Australian NFT project developing a hybrid Web2/Web3 MMORPG slated for release in April 2023.

The Genesis Collection of 5,000 Adventurer NFT characters sold out in January 2022. These and future generation NFTs are the playable, tradeable characters of the Web2/Web3 Free-to-Play MMORPG. In full, the PxQuest token economy consists of NFTs (Characters, Land, Mounts, Pets and Valuable Loot) usable in game and a utility ERC20 Token ($CHRONOS). The game has AAA 3D visuals, is desktop-based and centres upon real-time dungeon raiding and a kingdom-building collaborative economy.

Together, PxQuest and Labrys have created a variety of high-quality, robust and bespoke solutions, in terms of Web3 technologies and the Web2 interfaces to user’s Web3 data.

PxQuest is a hybrid-chain NFT project that makes use of both the Ethereum Mainnet blockchain protocol and Immutable X layer 2 protocol for scalability. Tokens can be transferred (bridged) between Immutable X and the Ethereum Mainnet, should owners choose to do so.

Pre-existing Smart Contract ecosystems have been extended to include robust Staking functionality, enabling user’s to stake their NFTs and access/utilise their game utility ERC20 token.

On top of this staking functionality, the ability for user’s to wager their ERC20 tokens on battles between their NFTs has also been added in-game.
