Yeah the concern seems a bit overblown tbf
Discussion
what’s the intuition- all the MEV would be via the sequencer and i assume you can’t actually affect ordering of the roll-up settlement onto btc anyway
As long as it’s via a sequencer, it doesn’t introduce MEV on bitcoin, which is totally fine! That’s one of many ways to design systems that use bitcoin without actually introducing MEV, which is great. There are other projects folks have been talking about which introduce material MEV.
but how?
idk how you could ever do anything material if the assets don’t exist on btc’s blockchain itself
Well the rollout folks apparently have such an option - just letting people transact on the bitcoin chain and using that to determine higher-level tx ordering.
