User Transactions On Ethereum

User transactions on Ethereum’s peer-to-peer network are at risk of being attacked. The smart contracts building decentralized finance (DeFi) have introduced a new transaction ordering

It depends, really. Some miners on the Ethereum chain, like Ethermine, use non-conventional ordering for their benefit, aka they generally don't do the by-gas sort.

Though miners are compensated for their contributions to the blockchain, they can order transactions specifically to boost their reward. As the university trio put it, with

MEV arises when miners or validators manipulate transaction ordering to extract additional value, often at the expense of other network participants. This not only affects user experience by

“The profit that miners can take from other investors by manipulating the choice and sequencing of transactions added to the blockchain.” As per BIS’s research

In fact, a new term has been coined for the profits that miners can make via their ability to choose which transactions to include and in which order: “miner extractable value” (MEV).1 This is
