How to: send backrun bundles to mevblocker RPC

n.b. that historical submitted bundles, including those that did not land on-chain, will not only be shared with builders but also archived and presented to the public for transparency

1. Connect to websocket server located at searchers.mevblocker.io

websocat searchers.mevblocker.io

2. Use eth_subscribe method to subscribe to unsigned pending transactions - mevblocker_partialPendingTransactions:

{"method":"eth_subscribe","params": ["mevblocker_partialPendingTransactions"]}

Response:

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "0xd58bbbc0f5190962eff01b6f0ec17724"}

3. You'll start receiving unsigned pending transactions (missing v, r, and s):

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "eth_subscription", "params": {"subscription": "0xd58bbbc0f5190962eff01b6f0ec17724", "result": {"chainId": 1, "to": "0xe33062a24149f7801a48b2675ed5111d3278f0f5", "value": "0x0", "data": "0x", "nonce": "0x1006", "maxPriorityFeePerGas": "0x10c8f83", "maxFeePerGas": "0x1307bf2380", "gas": "0x5208", "type": 2, "hash": "0x272ef23fc2c1ae118a1d0ba7203fa0ec8663e4991cc96a1338d4534383dffcdc", "from": "0xe33062a24149f7801a48b2675ed5111d3278f0f5"}}}

4. Construct a back-run bundle like you would normally for a target transaction from the mempool, but where the first element of the txs array in params of eth_sendBundle should be the hash of the pending target, instead of the full encoded transaction.

n.b. that the pending target transaction must be the first transaction in txs, and only one target transaction can be included per bundle, otherwise the request will be rejected. It is still possible to submit multiple bundles for the same block, containing different target transactions._

5. Send back-run bundle to the same websocket connection using eth_sendBundle method.

n.b. that replacementUuid is supported in this version of eth_sendBundle.

n.b. that revertingTxHashes is also supported, however the target tx may not be contained in revertingTxHashes.
