⚡What Are MEV Bots & Why Do They Matter?
MEV stands for Maximal Extractable Value — the extra profit that can be made by reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions inside a block.
MEV bots are automated programs that scan the mempool, spot profitable opportunities, and execute transactions faster than regular users.
🤖 How MEV Bots Work
MEV bots look for :
Front-running : Buying before a large trade, then selling after
Back-running : Trading right after a big transaction
Sandwich attacks : Buying before and selling after a user’s trade
DEX arbitrage : Exploiting price differences across exchanges
They pay higher gas fees to get priority inclusion in blocks.
📉 Why MEV Matters
Regular traders can get worse prices and higher slippage
MEV increases network congestion and gas fees
It shifts value from users to bots and validators
It impacts market fairness and decentralization
🧠 The Bigger Picture
MEV is not always bad — some forms (like arbitrage) improve price efficiency. But unchecked MEV can harm user experience, which is why solutions like private transactions, MEV protection, and fair ordering are being developed.
🔑 Bottom Line
MEV bots are invisible players competing for profit at block level. Understanding them helps you trade smarter, avoid unnecessary losses, and navigate DeFi more safely.
