What Is MEV in crypto?
Maximal extractable value (MEV) is the highest amount of value that miners or network validators can obtain by manipulating the ordering and arrangement of transactions before they are recorded on the blockchain
Often referred to as an “invisible tax” on other market participants, MEV is notably prevalent on Ethereum—though it is not exclusive to that platform.
What does MEV Engineers do?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) engineers specialize in identifying, exploiting, and/or mitigating opportunities for value extraction within blockchain ecosystems
Here are some of their core responsibilities:
- Analyzing Transaction Flows: MEV engineers study mempools (where pending transactions live) and on-chain data to detect patterns or opportunities for reordering, sandwiching, or other transaction manipulation strategies.
- Developing MEV Bots and Tools: They build automated trading bots and specialized software designed to capitalize on (or defend against) MEV opportunities. This involves sophisticated algorithms that rapidly scan and execute profitable trades or protective measures.
- Optimizing Protocol Designs: MEV engineers often work alongside protocol developers to minimize the negative impacts of MEV. They help design systems (such as private transaction pools or specialized relays) that reduce or eliminate front-running and other exploitative practices.
- Performing Security Audits and Research: They audit smart contracts, blockchain nodes, and decentralized applications (dApps) to discover vulnerabilities that could lead to unwanted MEV extraction. This includes researching new methods attackers might use and designing countermeasures.
- Contributing to the Broader Ecosystem: Beyond writing code, MEV engineers frequently publish research, collaborate with open-source communities, and educate stakeholders on best practices to mitigate harmful extraction tactics.
