With its endpoint, MEV-Blocker aims to give power back to regular users – providing them a way to not just circumvent the most common MEV attacks, but also to profit from less offensive MEV strategies. It was jointly created by CoW Protocol, Beaver Build and Agnostic Relay – some of

At maturity, the options contract is settled over-the-counter with either MEV Capital covering the balance if the liquidity providers' (LP) position has increased in value, or the options desk settling the difference with MEV if the LP position is worth less than the hedged amount, explained MEV Capital chief investment

It has been scrutinized, however, for contributing to Ethereum’s problem with centralization and censorship: anyone is allowed to build and deliver blocks through MEV-boost, but most validators opt to receive blocks pre-built by

A new oracle system aims to retrieve the additional fees paid by decentralized application (DApp) users to miners called maximal extractable value (MEV). It is the maximum value a miner can extract from moving-around transactions when producing a block on a blockchain network.MEV can be defined as the maximum value
