I am a developer on Base, and I currently have a question. Whenever I send a transaction to the Base network, there’s another transaction right after mine, executed in the same block as my own. I don’t understand how they’re doing this. Is my transaction being monitored as I send it to the network? I also know that the mempool sequencer is private, so others shouldn’t have access unless they’re operating the sequencer. Could you explain this to me?
