MEV is a topic that keeps on coming up in recent episodes so I thought it was high time to do an episode covering it. Naturally, Lucas from Jito Labs came to mind since Jito Labs has built the first MEV-enabled Solana validator client and are a Solana expert.

In this episode we chat about robots taking over in the world of construction, unpack what MEV is, contrast the MEV environment on Solana versus Ethereum, what is a searcher, should bot transactions be counted when calculating network usage, what is Firedancer and how will Firedancer impact Jito, what are we excited for on Solana this year and much more!

Enjoy
