Flare announced a governance proposal on April 10. The plan is to capture the maximum extractable value (MEV) to the protocol layer through a newly established entity called FIRE, and to repurchase and burn FLR tokens. The proposal includes a three-stage block-building reshaping, along with the FLR annual inflation rate and an annual hard cap reduction, with the goal of optimizing the network’s economic model and improving protocol transparency and security.

2026-04-06 22:45 to 2026-04-06 23:00 (UTC), ETH saw a clear drop within 15 minutes, with the K-line return at -1.12%, and the price range from 2105.5 to 2129.3 USDT, with a swing of 1.12%. During this period, market attention quickly increased; capital flows and volatility intensified; trading volume surged rapidly; and investor sentiment leaned toward caution. The main driving force behind this abnormal move is that on-chain high-frequency traders carry out arbitrage using MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) strategies through…

Polygon announced it will roll out a Private Mempool feature, providing MEV protection by routing transactions directly to the block producers selected through the validator election, avoiding the risk of transactions in the public mempool being manipulated, thereby reducing the likelihood of user slippage and transaction failure.

The Ethereum Foundation’s Barnabé Monnot introduced an “execution tickets” mechanism at the EthCC conference. The goal is to reduce block proposer monopolistic power by using a protocol auction for transaction execution and ordering rights, thereby increasing transparency and fairness. The revenue from execution tickets will be directly burned, ensuring that MEV profits are fairly distributed to all ETH holders, and lowering the participation barrier for home stakers. This mechanism is a core proposal of the Ethereum roadmap’s “Scourge” phase, and it will effectively prevent transaction censorship.

On March 16th, Aave and CoW Swap each released reports regarding the "high slippage trading loss of $50 million" incident. Aave attributed the problem to insufficient market liquidity, while CoW Swap pointed out outdated gas limits and transactions not being submitted on-chain.

MEV Capital suffered a severe blow due to involvement in deUSD leverage strategies, with assets shrinking from $1.5 billion to $300 million, a decline of nearly 80%. This DeFi crisis was caused by complex lending relationships among yield treasury tokens, leading to multiple project failures and massive capital evaporation. The industry is working to shift towards more stable asset structures, but risks still remain.

Ethereum is advancing decentralization upgrade plans, proposing technologies such as the ePBS mechanism, FOCIL, and encrypted mempool, aiming to alleviate MEV centralization issues and improve fairness and transparency in block production. These reforms address the challenges brought by blockchain scalability expansion and may impact network security, decentralization, and long-term value logic.

On-chain asset management firm MEV Capital's assets under management decreased from $1.5 billion in October 2025 to $300 million, an 80% shrinkage. The reduction in assets was caused by the stablecoin de-pegging incident in October last year, which resulted in losses exceeding $10 million. The company's revenue also declined significantly, with first-quarter 2026 revenue totaling only $804,720, an 86.8% decrease from the previous period. Additionally, institutions such as Belem Capital and Midas have terminated their collaborations with MEV Capital.
