Title: ZENMEV Insight: Maximal Extractable Value MEVA - New Economic Concept in the Blockchain Ecosystem

London, England, United Kingdom, 30th Oct 2024 - Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) is a metric that measures the maximum profit that miners (or validators, sequencers, etc.) can derive from their ability to manipulate the order of transactions or include, exclude, or reorder transactions within the blocks they produce. MEV has gained significance, especially with the rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, becoming an essential element that enables complex financial transactions within blockchain ecosystems.Understanding MEVThe simplest way to understand MEV is to think of the value generated from manipulating the order of transactions in a block. This can involve including specific transactions in a block, excluding certain transactions, or rearranging the order of transactions. In blockchains with smart contract capabilities, such as Ethereum, this manipulation is particularly easy. Validators can prioritize pending transactions in the mempool and choose to include transactions with higher fees in a block. By doing so, they can maximize their profits.Opportunities for MEV arise from various factors, such as price differences between decentralized exchanges (DEXs), liquidation events on lending platforms, or other market inefficiencies. Entities that can influence transaction ordering can capitalize on these opportunities to maximize their gains. These manipulation methods can manifest in forms like front-running and sandwich trading, which can adversely affect general users.History of MEVThe concept of MEV began to gain attention with the growth of decentralized finance platforms. As Ethereum advanced, various decentralized applications (dApps) emerged, highlighting the potential for MEV exploitation. The term "Miner-Extractable Value" was first introduced in th...
