Exploring MEV on EigenLayer, and the potential impact that EigenLayer node operators could one day have on Ethereum, as well as the protocols and applications built on top of Ethereum.

perspectives • May 03, 2023 EigenLayer node operators have the potential to one day dominate the Ethereum validator set and become powerful block proposers of not only Ethereum, but also programs built on top of Ethereum. Without effective mitigation, these nodes will benefit from exclusive order flow, cross-domain MEV, and foster multiblock MEV, entrenching EigenLayer nodes and middleware on Ethereum. Introduction Maximal or miner extractible value (MEV) is the value extracted from transactions by privileged parties like miners and validators. Historically, MEV has existed in contained…
