MEV Money! UMA has gone meteoric over the past 5 days, gaining 190% off its Oval announcement last Thursday. Why has the UMA token rapidly repriced?

When discussing MEV, we are typically talking about toxic MEV – like the money generated from a sandwich attack – and how to return this value back to the users performing onchain actions.

While it is possible to prevent this type of user-generated MEV by using a protected RPC endpoint, no method has cracked the task of capturing MEV created by protocols. Each year, lending protocols lose tens of millions of dollars to MEV; Aave Aave alone has bled over $62M to MEV during its lifetime!
