mev-inspect-py product
Overview
mev-inspect-py is an open-source Python tool developed by Flashbots for analyzing miner extractable value (MEV) on Ethereum. It parses Ethereum blocks to identify and classify MEV transactions, such as arbitrage, sandwich attacks, and liquidations. Researchers use it to extract detailed data on MEV activity and to study its impact on the Ethereum network.

Frequently asked questions
What is mev-inspect-py?
mev-inspect-py is a Python tool that inspects Ethereum blocks to detect and categorize MEV transactions, providing researchers with structured data on block-by-block MEV occurrences.
How does mev-inspect-py identify MEV?
It reconstructs the order of transactions within a block and compares it with the mempool state to identify profitable reorderings, then classifies common MEV strategies like arbitrage and sandwich attacks.
What data does mev-inspect-py output?
It outputs a block-by-block dataset with transaction-level details including the type of MEV, the involved contracts, and the profits extracted, typically stored in a PostgreSQL database or as JSON files.
What is mev-inspect-py connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, mev-inspect-py is linked to 2 other tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, Flashbots.
