sambacha/Procedural-Approaches-Towards-MEV

The project serves as a historical and theoretical snapshot of MEV research from circa 2020-2021. With only 47 stars and zero activity (velocity 0.0) over nearly four years, it lacks the momentum and ecosystem required for a high defensibility score. In the hyper-fast world of DeFi and MEV, a project this old that hasn't evolved into a protocol or widely-used tool is largely obsolete for production purposes. The 'procedural' approach likely outlines steps for searchers (arbitrageurs), but these techniques have since been institutionalized by entities like Flashbots or implemented in high-frequency trading engines in Rust/C++. Frontier labs (OpenAI, etc.) have no interest in this domain, making that risk low. However, the market risk is high because MEV research has consolidated around a few major players (Flashbots, Jito, Skip) and highly secretive quant firms. As a 'preprint' repository, its value is purely academic or archival.
