​

Examples of more specific projects

  • Public MEV specs on Github

​

  • Theoretical framework for quantifying MEV strategies (single and cross domain arbitrage, sandwiches, liquidations, etc…)

​

  • Estimating revenue shares (searchers, builders, relayers, proposers)

​

  • MEV and censorship
