Decoding MEV: Past, Present, Future

Did you know that when you make a move on Ethereum, there’s a hidden, high-stakes game playing out?
And what if I told you this game could be the secret to cheaper, more efficient transactions or, sometimes, the cause behind those unexpected high fees and delays?
Meet MEV, a concept that’s reshaping the Ethereum we know.
But who drives this game? What roles do searchers, builders and proposers play? How do Flashbots come into the picture, and what's their mission? And does MEV provide extra incentives for validators or create an existential threat to the decentralisation of the whole network? You’ll find answers to these questions and more in this video.

Thank you , you have such a great understanding , but I will have to watch your video 5 more times before I can even comment.

[@Finematics]

Thanks! Watching multiple times is highly recommended! Lots of content packed into 15 minutes. Hopefully it will become clearer and clearer with each time you watch it :)

[@Ccastick]

Beautifully put! I spent so much time trying to explain this to DeFi colleagues. You just save me hours of headaches. Thank you!

[@Finematics]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

[@funkymonk3487]

Exactly the video I was looking for, thank you. Your explanations are the best!

[@cryptkefir]

So happy to see you again!

[@MaxMohammadi]

I think you should make a video on MEV on high throughput chains (Monad, eclipse, Sei, Sui, Solana, Aptos)

[@user-hu1ek6vs7y]

This clears a lot of things for me. Thanks for this well put explaination.

[@Finematics]

Ethereum is proof of stake now. It's not as valuable anymore, at this point you can just run a cloud database architecture.

[@manu.yt25]
