Yesterday someone lost $50M in a single swap on Ethereum. A $50.4M USDT-to-AAVE trade routed through a pool with $36K of liquidity. An MEV bot spotted it in the public mempool, backran it, and extracted $9.9M in profit. All in the same block. With lightweight L3s and client-side proving, large trades can run through private execution environments where counterparties compete to fill orders before they ever touch an AMM. You prove correct execution with a ZK proof, settle back to Starknet, and nobody gets to front-run you along the way. Shielded price discovery instead of pool-draining slippage. Single-threaded blockchains with public mempools are an open buffet for MEV. The architecture has to change. We're building the one that does.
