Rebar Labs aims to launch the first Bitcoin-native platform to protect traders from Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) strategies, like frontrunning, by the end of 2024.

What is MEV and its Impact on Bitcoin

With the rise of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and layer-2 scaling solutions (L2) on Bitcoin, trader risks, including harmful MEV, have increased. Alex Luce, CEO of Rebar Labs, noted that frontrunning on Bitcoin occurs fairly often.

Right now, if we’re talking about MEV, the most obvious example on Bitcoin is front-running.Alex Luce

Rebar Labs' Plan for MEV Shield Launch

Rebar Labs aims to make Shield equivalent to Ethereum's Flashbots, which protected approximately $43 billion worth of transactions. The Shield platform is designed to protect traders while promoting interoperability among Bitcoin's fragmented DEX ecosystem. Rebar also plans to enhance returns for Bitcoin miners by collaborating with major players in the field.

Bitcoin Ecosystem Development and Prospects

Bitcoin's 2021 Taproot upgrade opened up new possibilities, including token creation and NFT trading. Bitcoin-focused L2s like Babylon and Stacks are gaining traction. As of October 2023, the total value locked on L2 stands at $2 billion.

Today, daily volume is in the millions, maximum. It’s not significant.Alex Luce

The launch of MEV Shield by Rebar Labs represents a significant step in enhancing the security of trading operations on Bitcoin and supporting the development of its ecosystem, promising more opportunities for users in the future.
