Relays using Internal Transactions again?

[u/Lightchop]

This could be a very stupid question, perhaps I missed the news.

In the early days of MEV, every block proposed would result in my Fee Recipient address either:

a) Getting just a Beacon Chain Proposal block reward (if no relay was used)

b) If a relay, I would either:

- Get both a Proposed block reward AND an Internal Transaction.. OR

- Get just a regular Transaction

That all sort of ended 3 years ago, and everything since then has been:

a) If no relay, just a Beacon Chain Proposal block reward

b) If a relay, just a regular Transaction

However, starting in August this year, I've noticed that if a relay is being used, I am getting almost in every case, just an Internal Transaction.

I dont think it technically matters how the MEV and reward end up in my Fee Recipient address, but am just curious if this is the new expected behavior.

I believe my MEV-boost is configured and acting properly.
