'WTF is MEV'
summary
MEV is defined as the profit a miner, validator or sequencer captures by including, excluding or reordering transactions, and it is already material: more than half of Ethereum blocks now include Flashbots bundles and MEV revenue rivals average transaction fees. The ecosystem uses private transaction relays, bundles and priority gas auctions, spawns coordinated front‑running (naming/shaming bidders) and cross‑block exploits leveraging uncle block reorgs; short‑term pre‑order and multi‑block extraction frequency is likely to rise.
