Gattaca Acquires Blink Labs to Expand Onchain Transaction Execution Infrastructure

Gattaca builds and operates infrastructure for blockspace markets. Its platform routes and orders transactions, builds and delivers blocks, and provides the execution layer for onchain trading, payments and settlement. Since its inception, Gattaca has established a leading position across the Ethereum transaction lifecycle, building 50% of all Ethereum blocks and reaching more than 90% of Ethereum validators.

Blink Labs is a leading platform providing transaction routing and protection infrastructure for wallets and applications. Its platform has processed more than 4 billion transactions to date and processes over 15 million transactions per day across multiple blockchains.

The combination brings together Blink’s experience serving wallets and applications with Gattaca’s expertise in transaction execution and block construction, enabling the combined platform to help customers improve execution, reduce latency, and strengthen transaction protection, while maintaining open infrastructure that teams can use to build and improve their own products.

This transaction underscores the strategic importance of onchain execution infrastructure in supporting how markets transact, trade, and settle as more financial activity increasingly migrates onchain.

Areta acted as exclusive strategic and financial adviser to Gattaca and is proud to have supported one of the most significant M&A transactions in onchain transaction execution infrastructure to date.
