Is MEV a Problem to be Solved or Reality to be Lived with?
summary
Argues that MEV is both solvable in places and inevitable elsewhere, recommending democratize MEV extraction for markets while embedding protocol-level mitigations where feasible. Claims single synchronous blockspaces hit scalability limits, so a multi‑chain world creates inter‑chain MEV that differs from intra‑chain MEV. Notes specific tradeoffs: time‑lock encryption adds latency, fair sequencing and threshold encryption add security assumptions, so different chains will choose different mixes of mitigation and openness.
