BNB Chain is taking significant steps toward combating Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) issues after a recent community vote showed overwhelming support for action. Initiated by former Binance CEO Zhao Changpeng (CZ), the vote asked whether the network should aggressively tackle MEV-related problems. With 82.9% of the community backing the move, BNB Chain is now set to explore innovative solutions to ensure fairness and security within its ecosystem.
The concerns around MEV, where miners and validators manipulate transaction ordering for profit, have led to substantial losses in the past—most notably, over 90,000 ETH (roughly $300 million) were lost in 2021 due to exploitative practices like sandwich attacks. These attacks have raised alarms about the integrity of decentralized finance (DeFi) on the platform.
In response to these issues, BNB Chain is considering several measures, including the implementation of privacy-enhancing Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) to help protect users from malicious actors by routing transactions through private mempools. Additionally, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on the network are evaluating free MEV protection protocols to safeguard traders from such manipulations.
The community’s consensus signals a strong commitment to preserving decentralization while protecting user interests. As BNB Chain moves forward, it is expected that new relays and anti-MEV mechanisms will be introduced, ensuring a more ethical and transparent blockchain experience.
