On the other hand I believe FTX basically made their money trading arbitrage between the Asian and European markets on the price of bitcoin.
- w1nk 4y agoI have to imagine the existence of these guys in the space means whatever 'work on being immune' is probably not functioning very well :P. These folks showing up in your trading arena means you've left money on the table and they're going to take that, and maybe some extra.
- exdsq 4y agoIt’s a small slice of the pie - MEV is still possible on the majority of chains for sure! And if quick finality (I.e next block) is required, which it probably will be for simple transactions, it probably always will be somewhat possible. I’m optimistic it will be drastically reduced overall though!
