MEV Resistance

Definition

MEV resistance, or Maximal Extractable Value resistance, describes a blockchain protocol’s design features or mechanisms that limit the ability of block producers to extract profit through transaction reordering, inclusion, or censorship. This resistance aims to mitigate the negative impacts of MEV, such as increased transaction costs, network instability, and unfair advantages for certain participants. Achieving MEV resistance helps maintain a more equitable and efficient transaction environment. It works to preserve protocol integrity and fairness.
