About this episode

This podcast explains the novel risks for traders who trade at Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) and why standard regulatory approaches are not well-suited for addressing those risks. The podcast then discusses the feasible paths for regulation weighing the relative advantages and disadvantages. An important point is that regulators are not necessarily properly aware of the challenges of regulation in the blockchain context and, as a consequence, some regulatory actions being taken might be counter-productive.

Guests: Professor Campbell Harvey (Duke University) and Professor Joel Hasbrouck (NYU Stern)

Ava Labs x CBER Ep 9: Mitigation Methods for MEV and LVR

This podcast covers Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), Loss-Versus-Rebalancing (LVR) and associated mitigation methods. To provide more background, MEV is the economic value that can be extracted from blockchain users through arbitrage activity. Of particular note, arbitrageurs can extract value from liquidity providers at Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) where these losses are known as Loss-Versus-Rebalancing (LVR). After explaining both MEV and LVR, this podcast focuses on mitigation methods including expedited block times and auction mechanisms intended to extract MEV.
