MEV research aims to internalize ordering profit, protect users, and decentralize block building. Full elimination is unlikely — ordering always has value — but distribution and fairness can improve.
Threshold encryption and delayed decryption add complexity and latency tradeoffs. Based sequencing reduces sequencer monopoly at the cost of L1 throughput usage — another design tension without a free lunch.
Stay informed on wallet protection defaults, relay decentralization, and rollup sequencing upgrades. Retail protection improves steadily even as total extractable value shifts to new domains.
