Hello,  
We have built a proof-of-concept of Flashbake in a private chain.

We transact by sending an operation to a flashbake relay. The relay acts as a regular tezos-node RPC endpoint, but intercepts the injection operation and forwards it to the next flashbake-capable baker, bypassing the mempool.

Flashbake-capable endpoint URIs are recoded in on-chain contract storage.

We then run 2 concurrent transactions, one with a higher fee than the other, and observe that the one with the higher fee is included first.

[The experiment is described in more details here](https://github.com/flashbake/prototype/blob/v1/README.md), along with intructions to replicate it.

Our focus is now to deploy flashbake on testnet and mainnet.
