Ether.fi Ventures just wrote a check for Blockspace, a new commercial entity built to improve and monetize the Ethereum infrastructure that exists outside the core protocol.
Blockspace isn’t trying to reinvent the protocol. It’s targeting the layer of infrastructure that already handles over 90% of Ethereum’s blockspace flow, the relays, builders, searchers, and order flow mechanics that most users never see but depend on for every transaction they send.
What Blockspace actually does
Blockspace is positioning itself as a dedicated team focused exclusively on professionalizing this layer, with two notable constraints baked in from day one.
First, it will monetize exclusively in ETH. Not stablecoins, not governance tokens, not equity. ETH.
