Paradigm Research Director Proposes MEV Tax

Paradigm's research director Dan Robinson and research partner Dave White proposed MEV tax, which allows any application to capture its MEV and retain composability. This mechanism can now be used on OP Stack L2s such as OP Mainnet, Base, and Blast. The two researchers stated that this can be seen as allowing any on-chain application to run its own custom MEV auction without any of its own off-chain infrastructure, simply by connecting to a single shared auction run by block proposers, encouraging L2s to consider prioritization (OPStack defaults to support), and encouraging applications to try MEV taxes where supported.
