Does Transaction Batching Eliminate MEV Entirely?

No, transaction batching does not eliminate Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) entirely, but it can significantly reduce exploitative MEV like front-running. While batching makes it harder to isolate and sandwich individual trades, the sequencer or block builder still retains some control over the ordering of the batches themselves.

Arbitrage opportunities between batches or other non-front-running forms of MEV may still be extractable.
