If this line of thinking resonates, I went deeper into it here: https://lucidledger.substack.com/p/visibility-as-a-trap-why-transparency

Can ZK rollups actually slow down MEV — or do they just move it elsewhere?

MEV exists largely because user intent is fully visible before execution.

Bots don’t exploit bugs. They exploit early transparency.

ZK rollups introduce a different tradeoff:

user intent can remain hidden until execution,

while correctness is still provable afterward.

Does this meaningfully reduce front-running and sandwich attacks,

or does MEV simply migrate to the sequencer and ordering layer?

Curious how others think about:

• intent privacy

• fair ordering

• where power ultimately concentrates
