**Previous MEV-SBC workshops:** [2024](https://collective.flashbots.net/t/the-mev-workshop-at-the-science-of-blockchain-conference-2024-mev-sbc-24/3527), [2023](https://collective.flashbots.net/t/the-mev-workshop-at-the-science-of-blockchain-conference-2023-mev-sbc-23/2038), [2022](https://www.notion.so/6dcb3501d7e647b98b703b6312c3e95b?pvs=21)

Maximal extractable value (MEV) is a measure [devised](https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.05234) to study consensus security by modeling the profit a miner (or validator, sequencer, or other privileged protocol actor) can make through their ability to arbitrarily include, exclude, or re-order transactions from the blocks they produce.

MEV is a complex and multidisciplinary research area, bringing together ideas from computer science, cryptography, economics, game theory, programing languages, and more. MEV-SBC aims to highlight important MEV research done in the past year and talks that will illuminate a new round of research problems the community should prioritize. The workshop is a satellite event of The Science of Blockchain Conference (SBC’25).
