Been trading on Base for a while and kept missing Clanker launches by seconds.

Decided to look into why — turns out most bots treat Base as an afterthought and use standard RPC calls which means they only see launches after the block is confirmed (2 seconds too late).

Base has Flashblocks which publishes pre-confirmation data every 200ms. Built something that hooks into that and catches Clanker launches automatically before most traders even see them.

Happy to share more about the technical side if anyone's interested — Flashblocks integration was more involved than expected.

Running a small private beta if anyone wants to try it.
