Psy 101 | Term 032: MEV (Maximal Extractable Value)
MEV is what happens when miners or validators reorder, insert, or censor transactions to take value from users.
On most chains, it’s a hidden tax.
On Psy, it’s something we aim to eliminate.
By letting users prove their own transactions locally — and aggregating proofs — Psy removes the power (and incentive) for harmful MEV.
Fairness isn’t a feature. It’s the design.
