Relay Endpoints
The Aestus relay runs multi-region deployments for both mainnet and hoodi. Traffic is geo-steered to the nearest relay instance to minimise latency for proposers and builders.
Mainnet
| Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|
https://aestus.live | Primary endpoint (geo-steered) |

Geo-steering
aestus.live uses DNS-based geo-steering to route traffic to the nearest region:
Each region runs independent auction instances.
Builder direct endpoints
We also provide dedicated paths that bypass load balancing. These require an API key. Contact us if you are interested in helping to test these features.

WebSocket Streams
Top bid WebSocket streams are available per-region and with geo-steering:
| Network | Endpoint |
|---|---|
| Mainnet | wss://mainnet.aestus.live/relay/v2/builder/top_bid |
| Hoodi | wss://hoodi.aestus.live/relay/v2/builder/top_bid |
See WebSockets for details on the stream format.
