About You:
I am a data engineer and data analyst with a solid background in building data pipelines.
Grant Category:
MEV Research
Grant Description:
Write a script that estimates the damage for leaked transactions from MEV Blocker builders:
- Given a list of transaction that we think have been leaked
- Compute the delta in token balance changes of the actual transaction and a simulation had the tx been included at the top of the block
- Convert asset changes in ETH
Grant Goals and Impact:
The script can then be used for further analysis of past or future incidents.
It can also be integrated into an automated pipeline to continuously assess the trustworthiness of builders. This is achieved by calculating distributions for each builder, determining the extent of ‘top of block slippage’ incurred by the transactions they include.
Milestones:
This project has one deliverable: write a script that can calculate the slippage of a given transaction compared to its simulated inclusion at the top of the same block.
