What Is the Purpose of MEV-Geth or Flashbots in Mitigating MEV?

MEV-Geth and Flashbots are tools designed to mitigate the negative externalities of MEV, such as front-running, by creating a private communication channel. Flashbots provides a private transaction relay network that allows traders to submit their transactions directly to validators without going through the public mempool.

This eliminates the public visibility that front-running bots exploit. Validators receive a sealed "bundle" of transactions, ensuring fair ordering and preventing malicious reordering, thus providing MEV protection.
