Session Chair: Ariah Klages-Mundt KEYNOTE: MEV definitions... wat do next? We take an academic journey through the past, present, and future of the definition of MEV, first defined informally in Flash Boys 2.0. The MEV definition is at a critical inflection point, with many projects and academic articles creating their own variants. We explain the history, design decisions, and future importance of this definition, and explore future related work that builds foundations for secure and bribery resistant smart contracts and cryptographic protocols. Privacy preserving decentralized netting.
