In this episode of Composable, hosts Alysia and Ellie welcome Hasu, an expert in MEV and the strategy lead at Flashbots. They delve into the intricacies of MEV, which stands for Maximal Extractable Value, discussing what it is in detail, its evolution, and its implications for our multi-chain future. The conversation covers topics such as private RPCs, order flow auctions, and the impact of MEV on both user experience and protocol efficiency. The episode also explores the trade-offs between synchronous and asynchronous composability and predicts future trends in crosschain MEV and protocol design.
