Demystify MEV and build production-ready strategies—from fundamentals to an end‑to‑end arbitrage bot. Solid Web3 experience recommended; curiosity and rigor required.
This course demystifies MEV and gives you the practical skills to operate in the “dark forest.” Across five sessions, you’ll analyze extraction strategies, understand the modern MEV infrastructure (Flashbots, MEV-Boost), manage risk, and finish by building a functional arbitrage bot. Designed for advanced builders who want both deep understanding and hands-on capability.

|---|---|---|
| 0 | Introduction | Course overview, objectives, prerequisites, and key disclaimers |
| 1 | MEV Fundamentals | What MEV is, why it exists, and ecosystem actors |
| 2 | Extraction Mechanics | Arbitrage foundations, sandwiches, frontrunning; impacts and defenses |
| 3 | Infrastructure & Relay Ecosystem | Flashbots, MEV-Boost, builders, private orderflow |
| 4 | Opportunity Discovery & Risk | Mempool monitoring, profitability, failure modes, legal considerations |
| 5 | End-to-End Bot | Build an arbitrage bot with on-chain contracts and off-chain execution |
Advanced developers, auditors, and researchers with familiarity in Solidity, JavaScript, Ethereum transaction mechanics, and DeFi protocols (AMMs, lending). Builders who want both the theory and the practical implementation skills to engage with MEV responsibly.
