MEV has always been a controversial aspect of blockchain, and Ethereum has also attempted to address this issue as the transaction ordering on the blockchain can be manipulated to result in unfair transactions. The MEV-boost, which was attacked this time, is precisely the software that aims to standardize MEV and serves as the primary infrastructure for finding profitable transactions on the chain (conducting sandwich attacks). In the community discussion, the Peraire-Bueno brothers were arrested for disrupting MEV-boost. However, isn’t it unfair to engage in MEV-boost to obtain profits from on-chain transactions?
