What is MEV resistance and why does Ergo have it?

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is profit extracted by reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions - think front-running and sandwich attacks. Ergo's eUTXO model provides structural MEV resistance: transactions reference specific boxes (UTXOs), making reordering attacks much harder. There's no shared global state to exploit like in account-based chains.

• MEV = value extracted by manipulating transaction order
• eUTXO protection: transactions reference specific boxes
• No global state: harder to front-run or sandwich
• Predictable execution: know exactly what will happen
• Fair trading: no 'dark forest' dynamics
