How Does Cross-Chain Bridging Introduce New MEV Vectors?

Cross-chain bridges require a transaction on one chain to be relayed and executed on another. This relay process creates a time delay and a trust gap.

MEV actors can exploit this by front-running the relay transaction on the destination chain or by exploiting price differences that emerge during the relay delay, leading to cross-chain arbitrage or front-running opportunities.

Glossar

Cross-Chain

Transfer ⎊ Cross-chain capability refers to the mechanism enabling the atomic movement of digital assets and data between distinct, sovereign blockchain networks.

Cross-Chain Arbitrage

Exploitation ⎊ Cross-chain arbitrage identifies and capitalizes on temporary price discrepancies for the same asset existing across disparate blockchain networks, driven by inefficiencies in market connectivity and differing liquidity profiles.
