MEV profit, or Maximal Extractable Value profit, refers to the economic gains that block producers or validators can extract by strategically ordering, censoring, or inserting transactions within a block. This value is derived from various on-chain activities, such as arbitrage, liquidations, and front-running. It represents a significant incentive within blockchain ecosystems. This is a form of value extraction.
