What a shitshow. From the binance page :"Block creators and validators may maximize their rewards. By rearranging transactions inside a block, a process known as maximal extractable value (MEV)."

That means : every transaction you do on a DEX is front-run by institutions and you directly pay the cost, unless you set your network fee pretty high and slippage really low. The more i read about POS the more i dislike it.

Was MEV a system operators could make money from before the merge on the beacon system or has this only been true post-merge?

Also, separately, ETH might go deflationary quite soon. From a peak of 13k ETH issuance down to about 1.5k right now I think and dropping rapidly.
