Every time you swap on a DEX, your transaction moves through the network before finalizing. In that window, MEV bots can front-run your trade, manipulate prices, and extract value from your swaps at your expense.
To combat this, Sushi has integrated dRPC’s MEV protection across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, and Polygon, ensuring that traders get fair execution without interference from predatory bots.
What Is MEV and Why Does It Matter?
Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) refers to the profit that can be extracted by reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions within a block before it is finalized. This is often done by bots or validators and can lead to:
🔺 Front-running – Bots detect your pending trade and place their own ahead of yours, securing a better price while leaving you with a worse execution. 🔻 Sandwich attacks – Bots place one trade before and one after yours, artificially inflating the price so you pay more, then sell at a profit.
These tactics increase slippage and reduce the efficiency of DeFi markets, making it harder for traders to get fair execution on their swaps.
How dRPC’s MEV Protection Works
dRPC’s MEV protection reroutes transactions through trusted searchers and private order flow auctions before they reach the mempool, preventing MEV bots from manipulating prices.
When users swap tokens, dRPC’s MEV Blocker sends the transaction to searchers who optimize execution across exchanges, reducing slippage and front-running risks. The block builder then redistributes up to 90% of the earned value to users, turning MEV profits into trader rebates.
By integrating dRPC’s MEV protection into Sushi’s swap infrastructure, traders benefit from fairer, more transparent, and cost-efficient swaps. Key Benefits:
✅ Prevents front-running & sandwich attacks – Transactions bypass the public mempool, ensuring fair execution. ✅ Reduces transaction costs – Up to 90% of captured MEV is returned as rebates, lowering fees. ✅ Enhances fairness – Order flow auctions optimize swaps, minimizing slippage and protecting users from price manipulation.
