https://mev-x.com/blog/ Research and engineering notes on MEV protection, atomic arbitrage, AMM yield, and DEX infrastructure from the team behind MEV-X. en-us Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://mev-x.com/blog/amm-yield-maximization/ https://mev-x.com/blog/amm-yield-maximization/ Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000 We measure the dislocation value a market inefficiency releases and how it splits between the pool and the arbitrageur. The zero-fee optimum, the 50% ceiling for constant-product AMMs, and why merging the two roles is the only way to capture the rest. https://mev-x.com/blog/every-chain-handles-mev-differently/ https://mev-x.com/blog/every-chain-handles-mev-differently/ Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Ethereum's PBS, Solana's Jito marketplace, and Sui's object model each treat MEV differently. A comparison of chain-level MEV protection models, and what changes when a protocol captures value directly. https://mev-x.com/blog/homelander-audit-bailsec-algebra/ https://mev-x.com/blog/homelander-audit-bailsec-algebra/ Wed, 27 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 A differential audit of Homelander's Algebra plugin update — and why extending an already-audited execution model carries a different risk profile than shipping a new one. https://mev-x.com/blog/quickswap-integrates-homelander/ https://mev-x.com/blog/quickswap-integrates-homelander/ Mon, 18 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 QuickSwap's community vote to integrate Homelander passed 3.2M QUICK in favor, zero against. What that says about where DEX infrastructure and AMM yield are heading. https://mev-x.com/blog/homelander-audit-uniswap-v4/ https://mev-x.com/blog/homelander-audit-uniswap-v4/ Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 MixBytes' audit of Homelander's Uniswap v4 hook implementation found no critical or high-severity issues, confirming the hook contains external-execution failures without touching the user's swap. https://mev-x.com/blog/homelander-expanding-to-uniswap-v4/ https://mev-x.com/blog/homelander-expanding-to-uniswap-v4/ Wed, 22 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 With Uniswap Foundation grant support, Homelander moves onto v4's hook architecture — and the afterSwap hook becomes the atomic MEV capture point. https://mev-x.com/blog/where-mev-actually-comes-from/ https://mev-x.com/blog/where-mev-actually-comes-from/ Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 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. https://mev-x.com/blog/mev-internalization-keeping-value-inside-the-protocol/ https://mev-x.com/blog/mev-internalization-keeping-value-inside-the-protocol/ Wed, 28 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 A protocol has three options for the MEV its own activity creates: ignore it, capture it natively, or route it to a partner. MEV leakage isn't actually unavoidable. https://mev-x.com/blog/homelander-security-audit-summary-and-outcomes/ https://mev-x.com/blog/homelander-security-audit-summary-and-outcomes/ Mon, 12 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Bailsec's first security audit of Homelander found no exploitable vulnerabilities — and confirmed that a failed internal MEV path can never touch the user's swap outcome. https://mev-x.com/blog/mev-resolution-in-amm-based-systems/ https://mev-x.com/blog/mev-resolution-in-amm-based-systems/ Fri, 12 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Every swap that moves an AMM pool off market price creates an arbitrage opportunity. Who closes it — an external searcher or the protocol itself — decides who keeps the value. https://mev-x.com/blog/introducing-homelander/ https://mev-x.com/blog/introducing-homelander/ Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Homelander captures post-swap arbitrage atomically, in the same transaction as the swap that created it — turning MEV that would leak to external searchers into AMM yield.
