Did you know that when you make a move on Ethereum, there’s a hidden, high-stakes game playing out? 

And what if I told you this game could be the secret to cheaper, more efficient transactions or, sometimes, the cause behind those unexpected high fees and delays? 

Meet MEV, a concept that’s reshaping the Ethereum we know. 

But who drives this game? What roles do searchers, builders and proposers play? How do Flashbots come into the picture, and what's their mission? And does MEV provide extra incentives for validators or create an existential threat to the decentralisation of the whole network? You’ll find answers to these questions and more in this video.
