BNB Chain launches a counterattack against malicious MEV proposals

ChainCatcher message, according to the Snapshot governance page, to protect the interests of community users and the fairness of DeFi, the BNB Chain community today initiated a proposal to counter malicious MEV, encouraging community voting and calling for more participants, including but not limited to block builders, RPC nodes, validators, and DApps, to detect and prevent malicious MEV, collectively taking responsibility for protecting users from "sandwich" attacks.

This proposal from BNB Chain advocates: eliminating bad actors—cutting off the permissions of malicious block builders; voting to eliminate validators that condone such behavior. At the same time, the memory pool will be upgraded in 2025 to prevent transaction front-running.

BNB Chain calls on community participants to actively report MEV attackers, avoid using insecure RPCs that expose transactions, and use wallets with MEV protection features.

Previously, BNB Chain has collaborated with several leading wallets such as Trust, Binance Wallet, OKX Wallet, and Mathwallet to enable MEV protection features, shielding users from sandwich attacks.
