## Implement MEV-Tendermint

Juno Network has recently expressed it's wishes for a fair and transparent MEV capture process on Juno. As a Community-owned and led chain, Juno stakers can and should receive a share of all MEV capture created on-chain, and should be able to transparently see how MEV is executed and captured on-chain. This is an important step in the longterm vision of bringing sustainable and transparent profits to Juno Stakers.

As an incubator for the interchain, Juno stakers should also be able to participate in the profits of all MEV activity that protocols enable on-chain, and should adopt the software which ensures these interests are honored for the community, and displayed transparently to the community.

With the passage of **[Proposal #](link) *"Promote Healthy MEV within the Juno Community and set ecosystem limits on Harmful MEV",*** we recognize that the easiest route to ensuring this vision is fulfilled through the adoption of MEV-Tendermint at a native binary level.

The purpose of this is simple, and it is to ensure that when MEV is is captured, Juno Stakers and validators receive those profits in such a fashion as to respect the wishes expressed by the communities vote on **Proposal #**.

**Those points include:**

Prevention of frontrunning and sandwich attacks, these harmful MEV strategies should not be permitted on JUNO
Validators receive a minimum of 10% of MEV rewards.
Validators receive a maximum of 75% of MEV rewards.

MEV-Tendermint is currently running on **xyz%** of the chain, and has captured **$xyz** in profits to date. Though this amount is currently small, this will scale significantly over time with newer DeFi applications building out on Juno. As those profits grow, we wish to ensure that Juno stakers are rewarded and that we bake those mechanisms into the very function of the chain.

To date, we have not seen any dropped blocks or issues from the utilization of Tendermint-MEV. The software is quite minimal, and removing the complexity of re-building the Juno binary with MEV-Tendermint will allow for very simple integration from validators who wish to participate in MEV and share additional rewards with Juno stakers.

The conversion from MEV-Tendermint back to "vanilla Tendermint" is a simple process and can be done rapidly at a binary level, as the software is built to be very simple and robust. Conversly the inclusion of MEV-Tendermint as a binary level is also a simple development process which will not require excessive core dev hours, providing the community is in agreement with this proposal. There is no cost for this integration aside from the time necessary to integrate into the core stack.

The adoption of MEV-Tendermint does not mean that it is a requirement for validators to actually ***run MEV-Tendermint***. However it does simplify the process and ultimate creates more revenue opportunities for both stakers and validators, should they wish to. Each validator remains completely independent in their choice on whether or not to capture MEV and subsequently engage in profit-share with the network as a whole.

By voting **YES** you approve that MEV-Tendermint should be included in the software stack for Juno as described in the proposal above.

By voting **NO** you disapprove of the proposal in favor of things remaining as they are.

By voting **ABSTAIN** you ABSTAIN from making a vote either for or against, but will contribute to quorum.

By voting **NO WITH VETO** you express that you would like to see depositors penalized by revocation of their proposal deposit, and contributes towards an automatic 1/3 veto threshold.
