MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) remains one of the most complex — and misunderstood — mechanics in crypto economics. In this collaborative piece, Exo Research wrote with @jonah-burian & @blockchain-capital-llc, we break down how Solana and Ethereum approach MEV from the ground up, exploring the shared arc from chaotic beginnings to the emergence of protocol-level safeguards.
