Hunt for value a validator or searcher can extract by controlling the order of transactions in a block: a swap or trade with no slippage bound that a sandwich attack front-runs and back-runs, an oracle update or liquidation whose profit depends on being sequenced first, an on-chain action that leaks its intent to the public mempool before it settles, and a protocol that assumes fair ordering when block producers choose it. Covers DeFi swaps, AMMs, lending liquidations, auctions, and any…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Hunting MEV and transaction-ordering exposure: the block producer decides the order, not you On a public blockchain the party that builds the block chooses the order of the transactions in it, and any value that depends on that order is value they, or a searcher paying them, can take. A user who submits a swap does not control whether it lands before or after someone else's, and the pending transaction sits in a public mempool where its intent is visible before it settles. That combination is the whole class. A swap with no slippage bound can be sandwiched: an attacker buys ahead of it to push the price, lets the victim's trade execute at the worse price, and sells behind it, pocketing the difference. A liquidation or an oracle-dependent action whose profit goes to whoever is sequenced first is a race the submitter usually loses to a searcher who pays for priority. And any strategy that reveals its intent in the mempool, a large trade, an arbitrage, a governance action, invites front-running. The hunt is to find on-chain actions whose outcome depends on ordering the submitter cannot control, and no protective bound. You hunt this by reading the transaction's …

How to install
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/hunting-mev-and-transaction-ordering-exposure@sha256:ee205592f163ba35The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.f8395d1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
