Illuminating the Dark Forest: Unveiling the Mystery of MEV With the surge of on-chain activities and the evolution and enrichment of on-chain infrastructure, on-chain MEV has long been regarded as one of the most dangerous parts of the Ethereum dark forest, directly causing profit losses and degradation of user experience in users' on-chain financial activities. The goal of this article, "Illuminating the Dark Forest," is to focus on analyzing the inherent centralization and trust issues brought about by this mechanism based on the block generation mechanism of Ethereum 2.0 and the technical evolution of proposer-builder separation (PBS), which stands in stark contrast to the values of Ethereum.

Prediction markets are a financial innovation tool that allows users to trade on the outcomes of events, with market prices reflecting collective expectations. They are characterized by openness and demand-supply-based self-adjustment.
