Batch Auctions

Definition

Batch auctions collect multiple buy and sell orders over a specific time interval, executing them simultaneously at a single clearing price. This mechanism aims to mitigate issues such as front-running and MEV Maximal Extractable Value by removing the priority advantage of individual orders. By processing transactions in groups, batch auctions can lead to fairer price discovery and reduced volatility within decentralized exchanges. This method offers a structured approach to order matching that benefits market participants.
