How Does MEV Specifically Affect Decentralized Derivatives Exchanges?

MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) in decentralized derivatives exchanges primarily manifests through forced liquidations and arbitrage opportunities. Validators can reorder transactions to ensure their liquidation or arbitrage trade is executed first, profiting from the liquidation fee or the price difference.

This can lead to worse execution prices for regular users and can destabilize the exchange's solvency if not managed correctly.
