FairFlow Protocol — equitable Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) mitigation in Ethereum.
FAQ
What is FairFlow Protocol?
FairFlow Protocol is a novel approach to mitigate Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) in Ethereum blockchain networks. It implements a fair ordering mechanism that reduces the impact of front-running and other MEV extraction techniques. Published December 2023 on arXiv (2312.12654). 3 citations as of 2026.
What is MEV?
Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) is the maximum value that can be extracted from block production in excess of the standard block rewards and gas fees, often at the expense of regular users. The MEV problem has become a multi-billion-dollar industry on Ethereum. FairFlow Protocol is a research-grade mitigation.
How does FairFlow reduce MEV?
FairFlow Protocol combines commit-reveal schemes with economic incentives to create a more democratic and fair blockchain environment. It introduces a transparent transaction ordering mechanism that ensures equitable treatment of transactions while preserving network performance.
