If a bank used its customers’ transaction data to profit off them, that would obviously be a problem. But in crypto, exploiting others’ transaction data for profit better known as MEV has become normalized and even turned into a business. This screenshot shows MEV bots making profits in real time. Right now, countless people are unknowingly having value extracted from their transactions. Across Ethereum and many other layers, massive amounts of capital and talent are being poured into trying to fix MEV. but there’s still no clear solution. Cardano, however, is structurally different, which makes MEV practically impossible. That’s part of why Cardano is designed to be a trustless, open financial and social infrastructure for everyone. Once you really understand how other layers work and then look at Cardano, you’ll see just how efficient, secure, and well-designed it truly is. (source: eigenphi)
