Our review
This skill provides guidance on MEV concepts, common attacks such as sandwich and frontrunning, and mitigations including private relays and MEV blockers.
Strengths
- Structured coverage of MEV attack patterns and defenses
- Organized resource links for README inclusion
- Practical mitigation techniques referenced
Limitations
- Does not detail implementation of private relays
- Focuses on Ethereum without mentioning other chains
- Lacks concrete code examples
Use this skill when you need to understand MEV risks and organize security resources in your documentation.
Avoid this skill if you require detailed coding instructions or deep analysis of specific MEV exploits.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill is purely informational, providing definitions and guidelines for organizing MEV-related resources. It does not instruct any executable actions, file modifications, or network requests outside of referencing a public GitHub repository for data. There is no risk of destructive or exfiltrating behavior.

What are the main types of MEV attacks like sandwich and frontrunning? Explain the threat model and common mitigations.Help me add MEV security resources to our project's README. I need sections for concepts, attack types, and defense tools. Use the awesome-web3-security repository as data source.List the current best practices for mitigating MEV risks in DeFi protocols, including private transaction relays and slippage protection.name: mev-security description: Guide for MEV concepts, common attacks, mitigations, and how to organize MEV-related resources in README.md.
MEV Security
Scope
Use this skill for:
- MEV concepts and threat models
- Sandwich/frontrunning/backrunning patterns
- Mitigations and private transaction relays
Concepts (Quick List)
- Transaction ordering and block building
- Sandwich attacks
- Arbitrage and liquidation extraction
- Private order flow / private mempool
Mitigations
- Private transaction relays / RPC endpoints
- MEV blockers
- Commit-reveal patterns (where applicable)
- Slippage protection and simulation
Where to Add Links in README
- MEV concept resources:
DeFi Topics → MEV - MEV defense tooling (RPC/relays):
DeFi Topics → MEV(primary), optionallyDevelopment → Toolsonly if the link is a general-purpose dev tool
Rules
- English descriptions
- No duplicates
