⛓🕹 mev for everybody

tl; dr:

👾 maximal extractable value encompasses the profits generated by participant parties in the block production supply chain. for searchers, this revenue can be generated from arbitrage when reducing the price spread between markets, slippage loss of swap users, frontrunning users' transactions, among other strategies.

💙 mev extraction can be a force of good in a non-predatory and fair blockspace free-market as an incentive for economic security. every actor in the supply chain is relevant. order flow toxicity is a trader's exposure to counter-parties that possess private informational advantages. as everything in life, the most valuable commodity is information.

🏴‍☠️ this repository is an on-going catalog from my own research and development. if you are passionate about self-sovereignty and love solving complex problems, don't be intimidated: do your homework and join us, because everything is mev.
