10 results for front-running

We consider a single security market based on a limit order book and two investors, with different speeds of trade execution. If the fast investor can front-run the slower investor, we show that this allows the fast trader to obtain risk free profits, but that these profits cannot be scaled. We derive the fast trader's…

A new sequencing rule prevents miners from front-running transactions in decentralized exchanges.

problem Miners exploit their privileged position to front-run transactions, leading to unfair profits.
method Introduce verifiable sequencing rules that constrain transaction execution order and are verifiable.
result A verifiable sequencing rule ensures users receive at least fair execution prices, preventing front-running.

Study uses agent-based simulation to analyze impact of OBI strategy on financial markets.

problem Improving execution in markets with supply-demand imbalance.
method Built an execution algorithm that accounts for OBI, tested it in artificial markets.
result OBI strategy can improve execution, especially in volatile markets.

Model predicts trading strategies based on latent demand and price impact.

problem Predicting strategic trading behavior of investors with private targets.
method Equilibrium model of dynamic trading, learning, and pricing by strategic investors.
result Trading strategies are a combination of target following, liquidity provision, and front-running based on latent demand and price pressure.

Ethereum block builders can earn up to $14M/month by reordering transactions, harming users.

problem Block builders can exploit transaction reordering to earn significant profits, harming users.
method Estimation of MEV payments and analysis of reordering effects.
result Block builders can earn up to $14M/month by reordering transactions, skewing the distribution.

Interpool solves interoperability issues by minting, exchanging, and burning tokens within a single liquidity pool.

problem Lack of proper interoperability in blockchain use cases.
method Interpool operates as a standalone liquidity pool that mints, exchanges, and burns tokens, optimizing the order of transactions in the mempool.
result Interpool transforms front-running issues into a solution that ensures ultimate liquidity through a burning procedure, enabling trustless design.

Maximal extractable value in CFMMs can degrade or improve routing quality, with reordering MEV showing logarithmic impact.

problem Maximal extractable value in constant function market makers (CFMMs) and its impact on routing quality.
method Game theoretic analysis of MEV in CFMMs, constructing price of anarchy and analyzing reordering MEV.
result Conditions under which reordering MEV shows logarithmic impact, and implications for MEV searchers and CFMM designers.
