We recommend leveraging the Go RPC client or alternatively using the REST API below to send bids. For those who prefer to use command-line tools, options like grpcurl, or BloomRPC are available. These tools require the protobuf definitions from the repository to interact with the RPC services.

​
Official Go RPC Client

For Go developers, leveraging the official Go RPC client is the recommended approach. Start by installing the mev-commit package:

❯_ terminal
go install github.com/primev/mev-commit@latest

Then, incorporate the generated client into your Go application as follows:

import bidderapiv1 "github.com/primev/mev-commit/p2p/gen/go/bidderapi/v1"

conn, err := grpc.DialContext(
    context.Background(),
    "localhost:13524",
    grpc.WithBlock(),
    grpc.WithTransportCredentials(insecure.NewCredentials()),
)

if err != nil {
    // Error handling logic here
}

currentTime := time.Now().UnixMilli()

bid := &pb.Bid{
    TxHashes: []string{
        "fe4cb47db3630551beedfbd02a71ecc69fd59758e2ba699606e2d5c74284ffa7",
        "71c1348f2d7ff7e814f9c3617983703435ea7446de420aeac488bf1de35737e8",
    },
    Amount:              "1000000000", // Specify amount in wei
    BlockNumber:         123456,
    DecayStartTimestamp: currentTime - (time.Duration(8 * time.Second).Milliseconds()),
	DecayEndTimestamp:   currentTime + (time.Duration(8 * time.Second).Milliseconds()),
}

rcv, err := bidderClient.SendBid(context.Background(), bid)
if err != nil {
    // Error handling logic here
}

for {
    pc, err := rcv.Recv()
    if err == io.EOF {
        break
    }
    if err != nil {
        // Error handling logic here
    }
    fmt.Println("Received preconfirmation:", pc.String())
}

​
Custom Client Generation

Utilize the provided protobuf files to generate a client in your preferred programming language, enabling seamless integration with your existing codebase.

​
REST API

🚀 Ready to send bids? Just execute this command:

🌐 Postman Power: Prefer a GUI? We’ve created a custom Postman request as an alterative way to send bids. Ensure you’ve got the Postman agent ready to go!

The REST API provides a straightforward way to submit bids using HTTP requests. For detailed usage instructions, refer to the Bidder API documentation.
