MEV Formal Theory refers to the rigorous, mathematical study of Miner Extractable Value, or Maximal Extractable Value, within blockchain systems. This theoretical framework analyzes how validators or block producers can profit by reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions within a block. It examines the economic incentives and game-theoretic aspects of MEV, quantifying its impact on network efficiency and fairness. The theory aims to characterize MEV opportunities and their systemic consequences.
Context
The current discussion around MEV Formal Theory is critical for designing more equitable and robust blockchain protocols, particularly in proof-of-stake systems. Researchers are developing new consensus mechanisms and transaction ordering schemes to mitigate the negative effects of MEV, such as front-running and sandwich attacks. Future developments involve implementing protocol-level solutions and MEV-resistant designs to minimize validator power and ensure fair transaction inclusion for all users.
This research formalizes MEV using an abstract blockchain model, establishing a rigorous theoretical basis for provable security against transaction-ordering attacks.
