Definition ∞ Transaction reordering mitigation refers to strategies and mechanisms implemented within blockchain protocols to prevent or reduce the ability of block producers to arbitrarily alter the sequence of transactions within a block. This practice aims to combat issues like front-running and sandwich attacks, which exploit predictable transaction ordering for illicit gains. It seeks to ensure fair and predictable execution of user operations.
Context ∞ The issue of transaction reordering and its mitigation is a central concern in the ongoing efforts to address Miner Extractable Value (MEV) and enhance fairness in decentralized finance. Current approaches include commit-reveal schemes, batch auctions, and fair sequencing services. Future advancements aim to develop robust and cryptographically secure methods that eliminate the potential for malicious reordering without sacrificing decentralization or efficiency.
