Is one trader's share of private front-runs steady, and do they use one middleman?

Research question: Is the 0xae2f...ae13 operator's share of private frontruns stable over time, and does it route through a single builder or relay? Build an operator-level time series that tests whether the 65% concentration reflects one actor's capability or a shared routing dependency.

The records identify the ae13 address as belonging to the operator Jaredfromsubway.eth, as of June 22, 2026 ², which is about four months before today's date. The facts give no per-operator frontrun share, no time series, and no 65% figure, so the stability question cannot be tested. The only routing examples concern other searchers: Wintermute and Symbolic Capital each send more than 95% of their bundles to a single builder ⁴. Nothing in the facts ties the ae13 operator to a particular builder or relay, and the Blocknative relay footnote concerns a different actor ⁸. The finding that a small group of integrated builder-searchers has a demonstrable advantage ³ is consistent with a capability explanation, but it does not settle whether this operator's concentration reflects capability or shared routing.
