Breaking Bots: An alternative to capturing MEV on Solana
Problem
The MEV supply chain is critical to the future performance and business models of Solana. The Ethereum approach of building a searching and block building marketplace is filled with downsides as the particularities of Solana are quite different.
Solution
We propose an alternative to the block building marketplace: the solana-mev client. This model allows for decentralized extraction by validators, through a modified Solana validator client, capable of handling MEV opportunities directly in the banking stage of the validator.
