How Wallets Are MEV Sleeping Giants | Matt Cutler - Blocknative

In this week's bonus interview, we are joined by Blocknative CEO and Co-founder Matt Cutler to dive into the world of MEV and order flow on Ethereum. They explore how the proof-of-stake transition has impacted block building, the economics and incentives faced by builders and relays, and the prevalence of private order flow. Matt shares his thoughts on protocol changes like MEV-Geth and burning and how to make order flow more equitable for users. Looking ahead, he discusses how L2 scaling could reshape MEV dynamics and why Blocknative remains committed to improving Ethereum despite its flaws. - -Follow Matt Cutler: https://twitter.com/mcutlerFollow Sam: https://twitter.com/swmartin19Follow Dan: https://twitter.com/smyyguyFollow Blockworks Research: https://twitter.com/blockworksresSubscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3foDS38Subscribe on Apple: https://apple.co/3SNhUEtSubscribe on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3NlP1hAGet top market insights and the latest in crypto news.
