Quantifying MEV On Layer 2 Networks
share
This paper addresses the lack of research on quantifying Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) on Ethereum Layer 2 networks (L2s). Our findings reveal a substantial amount of MEV to be extracted on L2s, particularly on Polygon, with a lower bound of 213 million surpassing previous estimates. We observe that the majority of detected MEV on L2s consists of arbitrage opportunities, as liquidations are rare. These results emphasize the need for continuous monitoring and analysis of MEV on L2s, promoting informed decision-making for network selection and highlighting the associated risks.
