The MEV Game on L2: Bots, Users, Sequencers Dynamics
summary
Discussion gives concrete tradeoffs: liquidations often use flash loans and create hot competition; Synthetix uses a debt pool model that shifted front‑running risk to stakers, so fee reclamation with a six‑minute settlement delay existed and is being removed on L2. Optimism offers no mempool on Optimism but a centralized sequencer today. Defenses explored include Chainlink tweaks (targeting ~30 bips oracle sensitivity from current higher thresholds), MEV auctions, encrypting or time‑locking transactions, and governance‑restricted liquidators.
