About Rook

At Rook, we believe the value in your transaction belongs to you.

It’s your transaction value, so it’s only fair you should get paid for it.

We came together to work on this project so that everybody could have access to one of the most complex processes on the blockchain.

So that MEV-aware apps and protocols were easier to build.

So that there would never be an excuse for predatory PFOF.

To build a future where MEV stays decentralized, diverse, competitive, and accessible to new participants.

At Rook, we believe the value in your blockchain transaction belongs to you. It’s your transaction, so it’s only fair you should get paid for it.

Innovation

Our contributors work to solve challenging problems that few have faced and to take DeFi and web3 into a better future. It is from their passion and drive that we make progress.

Public Good
