MEV-Share

Definition ∞ MEV-Share is a protocol or mechanism designed to allow users to capture a portion of the Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) generated from their transactions. Traditionally, MEV is captured by block producers or searchers who reorder, censor, or insert transactions to profit from price discrepancies. MEV-Share aims to democratize this process by enabling users to specify private order flows and receive rebates from successful MEV extractions. It seeks to redistribute value back to the transaction originators.
Context ∞ The concept of MEV-Share is a significant development in the ongoing efforts to address MEV extraction’s impact on fairness and efficiency in blockchain networks, particularly Ethereum. News often covers the implementation and adoption of MEV-Share by various decentralized applications and infrastructure providers. Its progress is closely watched as a potential solution to mitigate negative externalities of MEV and improve user experience.
