Most MEV on Solana isn't seen. That's the problem. What's happening now: → Private routing deals mean searchers pay less for blocks → Sandwich attacks extract value from users without their knowledge → Validators earn whatever's left after the leakage Block Chef changes the routing: → Sealed-bid auction: searchers bid openly for blockspace → Highest bid wins. Sandwiches filtered by Head Chef before they reach the block → Validators earn the full competitive tip The difference between opaque and transparent MEV is who captures the value. Same block. Cleaner mechanics. More value back to the network.
