Explicit MEV Auctions

Definition

Explicit MEV auctions are formalized processes on certain blockchains where participants bid to include specific transactions in a block, thereby capturing Miner Extractable Value. These auctions provide a structured mechanism for transaction ordering and MEV extraction, aiming to offer greater transparency and fairness compared to implicit methods. They are designed to allocate the value generated from transaction ordering in a more predictable manner.
