MEV Beginner's Guide
What is MEV?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to hidden profits extracted by miners or arbitrageurs through manipulating transaction ordering on blockchains. It manifests in two forms:
Arbitrage: Exploiting price differences across decentralized exchanges (DEXs). For example, using flash loans (uncollateralized loans repaid within one block) to borrow $1M, profit from price gaps, and repay instantly.
Sandwich Attacks: Detecting large pending orders → front-running them to buy low → pumping the price → forcing victims to buy high → dumping immediately.
