Extractable Value
$EV doesn't try to stop MEV, arbitrage, or sandwich attacks. It taxes them at the protocol layer and redirects the proceeds to liquidity providers and the burn address. The more aggressively bots try to extract value, the more $EV captures from them.
Each one goes deeper. Pick whichever angle matters to you.
The four-pillar mechanic, the fee curve, the 65/25/10 split, the deflation flywheel.
The beforeSwap/afterSwap flow, the five classifier signals, the V4 permissions block.
Calibration data, fee math, security model, governance, deploy plan, audit timeline.
afterSwap settlement.$EV does the opposite. Weaponized liquidity. Hostile flow becomes protocol fuel.
