In this week's episode, Anna (https://twitter.com/AnnaRRose) and Tarun (https://twitter.com/tarunchitra) revisit the topic of MEV with Chris Hager (https://twitter.com/metachris) from Flashbots (https://docs.flashbots.net/) & Alex Stokes (https://twitter.com/ralexstokes) from the Ethereum Foundation. In this episode, they tease out more of the nuances around MEV and how the field around it has evolved in the last year or so. The team explores what the MEV space could look like after the Merge, the PBS (Proposer Builder Separation) concept, what each role in the MEV landscape will do and the MEV-Boost architecture. They also chat about using cryptographic solutions to prevent some kinds of MEV and some recent work that Tarun released on the topic of MEV, as well as future ideas around MEV aim to democratize or even share the searchers rewards.

ZK Jobs Board (https://jobsboard.zeroknowledge.fm/) – if you are looking to find a new job, or if you are a team hiring, we have a fresh batch of open roles at ZK focused projects. This is a great place to learn about relevant projects and the types of roles they are looking for. Today’s episode is sponsored by Polygon (https://polygon.technology/). Introducing Polygon zkEVM. Polygon’s vision for zkEVM is simple: developers can deploy any Ethereum smart contract to a Layer 2 and benefit from the scaling power of ZK proofs. Public testnet is coming soon!
