# MEV-X

> MEV-X is end-to-end MEV infrastructure for EVM chains: DEX internalization, CEX–DEX arbitrage, liquidations, and partner order flow. MEV that moves through MEV-X is found, extracted, and returned as yield instead of leaking to external searchers.

MEV-X's core product, Homelander, captures post-swap arbitrage atomically — in the same transaction as the swap that creates it — and returns the captured value as AMM yield to the integrating protocol and its liquidity providers. This is MEV internalization: keeping the value a protocol's own trading activity creates inside the protocol, rather than routing it to external searchers, validators, and block builders through an open auction.

## Products

- [Homelander](https://mev-x.com/#products): MEV internalization for AMMs. Captures arbitrage atomically at the point of execution.
- [Starlight](https://mev-x.com/#products): CEX–DEX arbitrage, available as part of Homelander.
- [Butcher](https://mev-x.com/#products): Liquidation engine for lending markets across chains.
- [MEV-X RPC](https://mev-x.com/#products): Private RPC endpoints with automatic MEV rebates for partner transaction flow.
