MEVSwap: The first MEV protected DEX

TL;DR A new DEX natively protected against sandwich attacks and designed to capture MEV arbitrage revenue for LPs: https://mevswap.com

Since the introduction of automated market makers (AMMs), one persistent issue has hindered adoption by liquidity providers: unprofitability. This stems from arbitrage with centralized exchanges, which effectively siphons value from the pool.

With Uniswap V4 hooks, we can finally solve this problem. We’ve spent a long time analyzing it and applying our knowledge of MEV auctions. The result is MEVSwap—a DEX that natively defends against sandwich attacks, captures arbitrage opportunities, and protects pools from toxic order flow.

How do we do it?
Through a before swap hook. Our hook contract exclusively implements the before swap and after swap hooks. The liquidity provisioning logic remains untouched, making MEVSwap as secure as Uniswap V4. There are no functions that can block deposits or withdrawals from pools.

On each block, MEV bots can bid to earn the right to swap on the pool. This revenue is redistributed back to LPs in the active tick.

Retail users can always swap using a signature from merkle.

The first MEVSwap pool (ETH/USDC 0.05%) is live, check it out on uniswap.org. Pool creation is fully permissionless with the only requirement that ETH must be in the asset pair.
