MEV Zone

MEV Zone is a block-building and MEV distribution design for the Avalanche C-Chain that separates three roles. Searchers scan the mempool for arbitrage and liquidation opportunities, bundle transactions and attach bids; builders rank bundles by bid to assemble candidate blocks; validators compare the blocks on offer and pick the one with the highest total reward.

Rather than handing MEV entirely to builders, the design adds a burn: part of the AVAX derived from MEV is destroyed, and validators weigh both revenue and burn when choosing a block, so some extracted value returns to the network. User protection comes from private transaction submission, where details stay hidden until the block is final, cutting the odds of sandwich attacks and hostile reordering. A separate explorer lists extracted DeFi profit as it happens. A third-party security firm completed a code review in 2025 and found no high-severity issues.
