MEV-Share protocol
Overview
MEV-Share is a protocol and order flow auction (OFA) developed by Flashbots. It enables users to expose their transaction's MEV opportunities to searchers via a sealed-bid auction, while optionally sharing the extracted value back with the user. The protocol aims to create a transparent and permissionless market for order flow and MEV extraction.

Frequently asked questions
What is MEV-Share?
MEV-Share is a Flashbots-designed auction mechanism that allows users to consent to sharing the MEV from their transactions with searchers and validators, enabling a more equitable distribution of MEV.
How does MEV-Share differ from traditional MEV auctions?
Unlike private mempools or block-building auctions where searchers compete for inclusion, MEV-Share adds a layer where users explicitly opt in to share their order flow, and the protocol enforces that a portion of any extracted MEV is returned to the user.
What is the role of user consent in MEV-Share?
User consent is fundamental: a transaction is only included in the auction if the user signs a message authorizing the sharing of its MEV. This gives users control over whether their transactions are used for MEV extraction and allows them to receive a portion of the proceeds.
What is MEV-Share connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, MEV-Share is linked to 6 other tracked entities, most strongly to Flashbots, BuilderNet, Beaverbuild.
