MEV-X Blog
Engineering notes from the team building Homelander. We write about where value actually comes from, how AMM yield compounds, and what it takes to ship security-audited infrastructure that DEXes choose to integrate.
Every Chain Handles MEV Differently
How Ethereum's PBS, Solana's Jito marketplace, and Sui's object model each treat MEV — and what changes when a protocol captures it directly instead of auctioning it off.
QuickSwap Integrates Homelander
QuickSwap's governance vote passed 3.2M QUICK in favor, zero against. What that says about where DEX infrastructure is heading.
Bailsec Audits the Algebra Plugin
A differential audit of Homelander's Algebra plugin update, and why extending an already-audited execution model is a different risk profile than shipping a new one.
MixBytes Audits the Uniswap v4 Hook
MixBytes' audit of the Uniswap v4 hook implementation, and how the hook contains external-execution failures instead of letting them touch the user's swap.
Homelander Is Expanding to Uniswap v4
With Uniswap Foundation grant support, Homelander moves onto v4's hook architecture — and the afterSwap hook becomes the atomic capture point.
Where MEV Actually Comes From
Four independent attribution methods trace 96.7% of atomic arbitrage on Polygon back to a single source transaction. What that means for how MEV protection should be designed.
Keeping Value Inside the Protocol
Three ways a protocol can handle post-swap MEV — ignore it, capture it natively, or route it to an external partner — and why leakage isn't actually unavoidable.
Bailsec's First Homelander Audit
Bailsec's first audit of Homelander found no exploitable vulnerabilities — and confirmed that a failed internal MEV path can't touch the user's swap outcome.
External vs Internal MEV Resolution in AMMs
Every swap that moves a pool off the market price creates an arbitrage opportunity. Who closes it — an external searcher or the protocol itself — decides who keeps the value.
Introducing Homelander
The system that captures post-swap arbitrage atomically, in the same transaction, and turns it into yield for the protocol instead of letting it leak to validators and block builders.
