What is MEV (Maximal Extractable Value)?

MEV is the profit that can be made by controlling the order of transactions on a blockchain.
Bots and validators can sometimes reorder, insert or exclude transactions to capture extra value.
It can significantly affect how trades are executed in DeFi.

📚 Trading Tip of the Day — What is MEV (Maximal Extractable Value)?

$BTC


Today's Ethereum Glamsterdam post mentioned reducing "MEV extraction by up to 70%." Here's what this term actually means.

🔍 What is MEV?

The profit that validators/miners can extract by strategically choosing which transactions to include in a block, and in what order — beyond just their normal block rewards. It exists because whoever builds a block has some control over transaction ordering.

📊 A simple example:

If you submit a large trade that will move a token's price, someone watching the pending transaction pool (mempool) could insert their own trade right before yours (buying low, knowing your trade will push the price up) and right after (selling high) — profiting from your trade without you ever knowing. This specific pattern is called a "sandwich attack."

🔑 Why MEV matters for regular users:

It can mean worse prices on trades (slippage caused by front-running), failed transactions, and generally less predictable costs — particularly on high-activity days when many people are trying to execute similar trades.

🔍 Why reducing MEV (like Glamsterdam aims to) is considered positive:

Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (mentioned in today's earlier post) moves block-building on-chain in a more structured way, making it harder for sophisticated actors to manipulate transaction ordering for profit at regular users' expense.

❌ Common mistake beginners make:

Not realizing that MEV-related costs are often invisible — you don't see a fee for it, but you might get a worse execution price than expected without understanding why.

📌 Golden rule: MEV is one of the "hidden costs" of blockchain transactions that experienced traders account for, especially during high-volatility periods when MEV extraction tends to increase.

📚 What Is MEV?: Miner/Maximal Extractable Value and how it affects your trades
On July 19, 2026, MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is the profit that block proposers can extract by reordering, including, or excluding transactions within a block. On Ethereum $ETH , this can result in users paying higher fees or getting worse execution prices than expected.
While originally a concern on Ethereum, MEV affects all smart contract platforms including Solana $SOL . Understanding MEV helps traders use strategies like slippage limits and private transaction relay services to protect against unfavorable execution.

📌 Key Takeaway:
MEV is an invisible tax that affects nearly every DeFi transaction. Being aware of it — and using tools to mitigate it — can meaningfully improve your trading execution outcomes.

A solver I wrote three years ago. Today, together with the 0x setter, it’s running on the Robinhood chain, called SHEEP CHOICE. It doesn’t misreport prices—real-world tests show execution performs better than the already-tested aggregators.

This is the real direction of DeFi progress: not another new DEX, but optimizing order routing. The more severe MEV sandwich attacks get, the more we need a solver to help retail users obtain the real market price.

“Not misreporting prices” sounds simple, but in a DeFi environment full of quote manipulation, that’s exactly the scarce commodity. Aggregators compete on UI; solvers compete on the actual execution price.

Jito is at it again— the JTX platform officially launches, while JTO will kick off a comprehensive DAO buyback.

What does this mean? The protocol is converting MEV revenue into real token value capture, rather than staying at the “governance voting” stage of empty promises. For holders, buybacks are the most direct demand-side signal; for the Solana ecosystem, with Jito as a dual-engine of LST + MEV, the cash-flow narrative is being pushed to a new height.

A few points worth watching:
- Will JTX become the new entry point for MEV infrastructure?
- Will the timing and scale of buybacks be transparent and verifiable?
- Will JTO shift its positioning from a “governance token” to a “cash-flow asset”?

When most copycat projects lack basic fundamentals, there aren’t many that can deliver real revenue plus a buyback mechanism. This is Jito’s play: putting the narrative onto the balance sheet.

Transparency was supposed to be crypto's greatest feature. It became its most exploited vulnerability.@GeniusOfficial
For years, the market rewarded observers. Wallet trackers, on-chain analysts, smart money followers entire trading cultures built around the assumption that seeing clearly was the same as competing effectively. Visibility was treated as edge.
But that assumption contained a hidden flaw.#genius
In a fully transparent market, information equalizes faster than it can be monetized. The moment a whale moves, the signal propagates. The moment a signal propagates, it gets front-run, copied, or priced in. Observation without execution is just latency with a better dashboard.
This is where the nature of competition quietly shifts.#MEV
The real structural advantage is no longer upstream it is not in knowing what capital is doing. It is in controlling how capital moves once you decide to act. Routing quality, MEV protection, liquidity access, execution without footprint these are becoming the actual determinants of alpha in adversarial, fragmented markets.
Genius Terminal sits precisely at this inflection point. Not as a visibility tool, but as execution infrastructure built for an environment where revealing your intent is the same as surrendering your position.
The implication extends beyond any single platform.#GeniusTerminal
Markets evolve toward making their most exploitable advantages obsolete. Information edges compress. Behavioral edges get modeled. What survives is structural the ability to operate efficiently inside a system that is actively working against you.
The question was never just "what are the whales doing?"
It was always "why do some of them keep winning even after everyone is watching?"

An MEV bot that was once considered a money printer on Ethereum just got "played" and lost a whopping $7.5 million in just a few hours. This wasn’t due to a bridge exploit or a smart contract hack; instead, the attacker exploited the very trading logic of the bot JaredFromSubway — reading the algorithm through test transactions and then setting a trap.

This incident reveals a harsh truth: the more sophisticated the bot, the larger the attack surface. Once the trading logic is exposed, the bot is no different than a moving target. The operations team threatens legal action, but responsibility in the layers of DeFi is often very murky.

For traders, this is a wake-up call about the risks of automation. You shouldn’t put all your trust in a bot, even if it was running smoothly before. Regular security checks and logic testing are the real shields.

DYOR and manage your risk.

The famous Ethereum MEV bot known as "JaredFromSubway" just lost $7.5 million in a weekend attack — and it's sending shockwaves through DeFi.

The bot, which perfected the sandwich attack strategy, was exploited when fake tokens and fraudulent smart contracts exposed a flaw in its logic. The attacker presented misleading opportunities that allowed them to drain legitimate funds. Security firm Blockaid confirmed the exploit involved transactions that didn't properly revoke spending permissions.

In an on-chain message, the bot operator offered a 50% white hat bounty for the return of 2,150 ETH (~$3.7M) within 48 hours. But the attacker had already begun moving stolen funds through Tornado Cash to obscure the trail.

Key takeaway for DeFi traders: Even the most sophisticated automated strategies carry smart contract risk. MEV bots that scan for profit opportunities can be turned against themselves. Always verify token contracts before approving spending permissions.

SUPER PROFITS FOR YOUR ACCOUNT: HOW SOLANA VALIDATORS STEAL CENTS FROM EVERY TRADE YOU MAKE 🤖🧬

Are you trading on Solana through Phantom or Telegram bots, setting the maximum priority fee to get your order through faster, but still buying the asset at a worse price? Meet the MEV infrastructure of validators (Jito).

• How you’re getting robbed: Network validators see your order in the queue. They use special software to reposition their transactions right before yours and immediately after it.
• The result: They artificially inflate the price for you by a fraction of a percent, pocketing that difference and bailing out instantly. This is legal robbery within the blockchain that bloggers stay silent about.

The most notorious sniping bot on Ethereum just got sniped for $7.5 million yesterday.

If you’re into DeFi, you’ve probably heard of jaredfromsubway.eth. For over two years, this bot has been behind 70% of sniping attacks on Ethereum. Even Vitalik got caught in its sniping net over a $2 token. It uses algorithms to automatically monitor pending transactions, buying in front of you and selling behind you to cash in on the price spread. Simple and brutal, yet extremely profitable.

But yesterday, this bot, which usually feasts on others, became the prey.

A hacker spent weeks deploying 66 fake token contracts and fake liquidity pools. These bogus contracts mimicked the trading patterns of WETH, USDC, and USDT, creating seemingly profitable trading opportunities. The jaredfromsubway bot saw this as a chance to feast and jumped in without hesitation. What it didn’t realize was that each "profitable trade" authorized a malicious contract. In the final transaction, the hacker triggered all backdoors and drained the bot's wallet of ETH, USDC, and USDT.

This tactic is called a "reverse MEV honeypot," specifically tailored to exploit the decision-making logic of bots. It’s not about breaking contracts or phishing signatures; it’s about leveraging the bot's weakness of "only looking at profits and not at the opponent."

I keep pondering one question: MEV bots rely on algorithms to automatically determine whether a trade is worth executing, but the algorithm can’t tell if an opponent is a real user or a hunter. When your business model is built on "sniping others," your Achilles' heel is pretty obvious — just create a fake target that looks snipable, and the bot will walk right into the trap.

What does this mean for regular retail traders? A lot. It shows that the on-chain environment is far more dangerous than you might think. Did you think getting sniped is just a nuisance for small traders? Even the most aggressive bots can get sniped. In DeFi, every trade could face a hidden trap.

Ironically, on the same day, the Wall Street Journal exposed Polymarket. The investigation found that a lot of "instant profit" videos on TikTok and Instagram are fake, with some created by paid influencers and some profit screenshots outright forged. Polymarket even hired a marketing firm called Virality specifically to promote to US users. A prediction market platform that is fabricating its own credibility — what can you even trust?

These two events point to the same reality: there is no safe zone in the on-chain world. From MEV bots to prediction platforms, from algorithms to marketing, there are setups at every stage.

You think you’re playing a game, but in reality, you are the game itself.

MEV is honestly one of the biggest hidden problems in DeFi right now 👀
Most people think they’re just swapping tokens normally… but in reality: 🤖 bots are watching the mempool every second.
The moment a big trade appears: → bots jump in first
→ push the price up
→ dump right after your order executes
End result? You get worse entries, higher slippage, and less profit 😭
That’s why the direction @GeniusOfficial is taking has been interesting to watch lately.
They keep focusing on: 🔒 private execution
👻 Ghost Wallet
⚡ hidden order flow
🛡 Anti-MEV infrastructure
The idea is simple: “if bots can’t see your trade intentions, they can’t exploit them easily.”
And honestly… if this works at scale, it could become extremely valuable not just for retail, but also for whales, funds, and serious on-chain traders.
DeFi can’t really evolve properly while MEV keeps draining users in the background.

Jito $JTO - The Kingmaker of Solana*
JTO = The leader in MEV + Liquid Staking 🧃
Over 90% of MEV on Solana comes from the Jito client. Stake JitoSOL = earn both staking rewards and MEV rewards. If Solana hits 100k+ TPS by 2026, Jito's revenue could increase 5x.

Restaking + tip router allows validators to earn more. Real yield, no fake APY. It's an infrastructure play in the Solana ecosystem.

Risk: MEV regulation. But the product-market fit is 100/100.

Is JTO a hidden gem in the Solana bull run or is it overvalued?

The MEV space is ringing the alarm bells again: notable MEV player Jared faced an attack, and on-chain fund losses are still escalating. Compared to price volatility, what's more crucial to keep an eye on are permission management, private key security, contract interactions, and the risk management boundaries of automated strategies.

For everyday users, there's no need to blindly chase the latest trends; for on-chain players, it’s essential to regularly check authorizations, diversify funds, and reduce single-point exposure. MEV isn’t a "guaranteed profit tool"; safety will always be the top priority. #MEV #链上安全 #crypto risk management

On-chain security sounds the alarm again: Well-known entity in the MEV space, Jared, has been attacked, and the related funds losses are still expanding. For ordinary users, the focus shouldn't be on 'who got attacked', but rather on recognizing the risk boundaries of MEV, authorizations, contract interactions, and fund isolation.

Short-term advice: Reduce unnecessary authorizations, diversify hot wallet funds, and confirm contract sources before interacting; project teams should also speed up monitoring and emergency response. The more complex the on-chain yield opportunities, the more proactive risk control needs to be. #链上安全 #MEV #crypto risk

⚡ Jared, the notorious scammer in the #MEV market, has officially been taken down
🚨 Jared was one of the big players targeting users in the #MEV market with scams, and hackers have now compromised his accounts #اختراق
💻 The identity of the hackers and the damages to Jared have yet to be disclosed, but it's certain that this move will impact scam activities in the MEV market.

🚨 **MEV Whale Jared Under Attack, On-Chain Losses Continue to Grow**

A major security incident has just erupted in the MEV space. Well-known MEV giant Jared has been attacked, and on-chain losses are still escalating.

This event serves as a wake-up call: even seasoned players who are well-versed in on-chain arbitrage are not completely immune to attack risks. The high yields in the MEV field come with equally high levels of security vulnerabilities and operational risks.

Currently, details of the attack and the extent of the losses are still being disclosed, but one thing is clear—there's no "unhackable" privilege in on-chain security. Whether you're a casual user or a top-tier player, managing private keys, authorizing contract interactions, and verifying signatures can be life or death.

For those focused on the MEV landscape and on-chain interactions, staying vigilant is more important than chasing profits right now.

#MEV #On-Chain Security

According to Followin's trending topics, well-known player in the MEV space, Jared, faced an attack, with on-chain funds losses widening. This incident serves as a reminder: even seasoned 'old hands' deeply involved in on-chain arbitrage and infrastructure can be exposed to risks from contract permissions, private key management, interaction authorizations, or strategy vulnerabilities.

In the short term, the market may focus more on the fund flows from the affected addresses, whether there will be further liquidations/selling pressure, and the tracking results from related security teams. The more complex the on-chain opportunities, the more proactive the risk control needs to be.

#链上安全 #MEV #crypto-risk

On-chain security has sounded the alarm again: well-known MEV participant Jared has been attacked, and related fund losses have further expanded. This incident shows that even seasoned on-chain "veterans" familiar with arbitrage, front-running, and complex contract interactions are not completely immune to permission, signature, contract call, or fund management vulnerabilities.

In the short term, the market should focus on two key points: first, the fund flow of the affected addresses, and whether there is further spillover; second, whether MEV-related strategies see reduced activity due to security incidents. For regular users, minimizing authorizations, diversifying wallets, and regularly revoking permissions are more important than chasing trends.
