Welcome to BlockFerret
The practical guide to ethical block building, private transactions, and validator rewards on PulseChain.
2 min readBetter blocks. Private transactions. More value for validators.
BlockFerret is the ethical block builder for PulseChain, built by Switch.win. It builds an ordinary block first, then looks for verified opportunities that add value while preserving protected user transactions. The Vouch relay connects those blocks to validators.

The Ferret Code#
BlockFerret does not front-run or sandwich user trades. User backruns execute after the user’s transaction. When a competing bot’s arbitrage is replaced, the ordinary fees it would have contributed are accounted for before sharing the surplus.
Simulation, retained-transaction checks, and full-block accounting decide whether a candidate can be used. A predicted profit or accepted submission alone is never proof of an included transaction.
