MEV after EIP-1559
summary
Simple profit model and simulations claim roughly 98% stay on Ethereum post‑EIP‑1559, because miners don’t economically switch chains given current chain sizes; replacing pre‑1559 fee revenue would require about 150% more MEV extraction, while matching switching incentives needs only about 22% additional MEV in a more realistic comparison. Notebooks from the Robust Incentives group drive these numbers, and simulations show that if 85% adoption of a Flashbots‑style underfilled‑blocks default occurs it can push the base fee toward zero.
