What Is ‘Miner Extractable Value’ (MEV) in the Context of Transaction Ordering?

MEV is the profit miners (or validators) can make by arbitrarily including, excluding, or reordering transactions within the blocks they produce. This often involves exploiting decentralized exchange (DEX) arbitrage opportunities or front-running large trades.

MEV introduces a hidden cost to users and can lead to a less fair execution environment.
