Why Ethereum for MEV

Deep liquidity and mature infra make Ethereum a strong venue for policy‑safe backruns via private bundles. Start with reliable WSS, measure latency, and use strict guardrails.

Quick checklist

• Low‑latency WSS (< 150 ms median) close to your region
• Router/token allowlists; audited pools only
• Private bundles first; fallback to public only with caps
• Slippage ≤ 0.5–1.0% and per‑trade gas/session budgets
