This page explains what you can do today and how to get started. ### The problem we solve for you | Institutional requirement | Ethereum default | With ETHGas | | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | Settlement certainty | Best-effort inclusion; no guarantee | Reserved blockspace = contracted inclusion | | Auditable ordering | Opaque, MEV-driven reordering | Fair-ordering guarantees you can evidence | | Compliance controls | None at build time | Policy Engine enforces rules as blocks are built | | Known counterparties | Anonymous builders/validators | Known & onshore qualified validator set | | Predictable cost | Volatile gas | Blockspace reserved at a known price | ### What you can do * **Reserve blockspace ahead of execution:** Buy whole-block commitments or preconfirmations through the Blockspace & Preconf Marketplace so critical transactions are guaranteed inclusion at a known price, not left to the volatility of the open mempool. * **Apply your compliance policies:** Route reserved blockspace through the Policy Engine to enforce sanctions screening, counterparty restrictions, and jurisdictional rules at build time. * **Require known, onshore validators:** Specify that your blockspace is served only by validators in the qualified set: identity-verified operators in supported jurisdictions. * **Produce an audit trail:** Ordering and inclusion become properties you can document for internal risk and external regulators. ### How to get started 1. **Talk to us:** Reach out via [the ETHGas team](mailto:info@ethgas.com) to scope your [Institutional Blockspace ](/overview/institutional-blockspace.md)requirements and jurisdiction. 2. **Configure policies:** Work with us to define the compliance rules the Policy Engine will enforce for your blockspace. 3. **Reserve blockspace:** Use the [Blockspace & Preconf Marketplace](/overview/blockspace-and-preconf-marketplace.md) to purchase the commitments you need. 4. **Execute and reconcile:** Transact with settlement certainty and pull the audit record for your reporting. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ethgas.com/solutions-for-you/institutions.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
