Overview
Sorella Labs builds tools to reduce MEV on Ethereum at the application layer. Brontes is an open-source analytics tool that processes Ethereum blocks to identify MEV patterns, acting as an MEV explorer for transparency. Angstrom is a Uniswap V4 hook that runs on an off-chain network to host two per-block auctions—one to select the first transaction and a second batch auction where remaining orders execute at the same price—aimed at preventing front-running and sandwich attacks and redirecting value to liquidity providers and traders. The goal is to create a fairer, more efficient DeFi market by reducing arbitrage-based distortions and complementing protocol-level MEV work.

What believers are saying
- Sorella’s GitHub showed 37 repositories updated through October 2026, signaling active development.
- Rootdata said Angstrom ran on Ethereum mainnet and Base by October 2026.
- Fenbushi and Sorella launched LVR.wtf in 2026, strengthening the product narrative around measurable losses.
What critics are saying
- Revelio Labs showed 12 employees and zero active jobs in 2026, limiting execution.
- Angstrom’s off-chain auction network must win adoption against Uniswap, Flashbots, and existing routers.
- If MEV-free execution never gains liquidity, Sorella’s core thesis collapses into niche research.
What makes Sorella Labs unique
- Angstrom targets MEV at the application layer, not just Ethereum protocol infrastructure.
- Sorella’s open-source Brontes gives traders transparent MEV forensics across Ethereum blocks.
- Paradigm-backed founders Ludwig Thouvenin and Karthik Srinivasan ship Uniswap V4-native market design.
