What is MEV?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is the extra profit that can be captured by reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions on a blockchain. It represents the additional value extracted by savvy traders or bots beyond regular transaction fees.

How MEV Bots Work on Solana
MEV bots monitor the mempool (pending transactions) to spot profitable opportunities. They can perform front-running, back-running, or sandwich attacks by strategically placing their orders around a user’s trade.
