A $5 million profitable arbitrage deal emerged from the $47 million Curve Finance exploit. This highlights the power imbalance between DeFi protocols and active participants with strong computational skills to seize fleeting opportunities.

Speakers from EigenPhi, Tellor, Vega Protocol, API3, and Umbrella Network and Moderator John Morrow from Gauntlet discuss the effects of OEV on the security, stability, and decentralization of Defi protocols and the broader ecosystem. In this panel, speakers also cover topics like OEV challenges and mitigating risks such as frontrunning, manipulation, and flash loans while exploring ways to optimize it. Additionally, they examined emerging trends in OEV and how they may shape the future of DeFi.

During EthCC 2023, EigenPhi's data scientist, Dr. Sophie Liu, shared observations on the underlying relationship between searchers and builders and builders and validators. These findings have raised concerns about the issue of block-building centralization.

This enlightening presentation, delivered by Dr. Sophie Liu at EthCC, delved into the depths of MEV, revealing the allocation of nearly $16 million to validators and the sophisticated strategies employed by bots to maximize profits. Dr. Liu also introduced EigenTx, a tool designed to provide intuitive token flow analysis and strategy identification.

In summary, the talks offered valuable insights into the world of DeFi, especially in understanding complex areas. With tools like EigenTx coming into play, we're getting better at navigating these challenges. Don't forget to subscribe to us for more updates and expert discussions.
