FOCIL and MEV: Inclusion Is Not Transaction Ordering

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 08:00:00 +0000

A transaction can be included in a block and still be useless to your bot. A competing liquidation can execute first. A swap can move the pool price before your arbitrage runs. Your own transaction can appear in the block with a failed receipt and a gas bill.

It does not give a searcher a reservation at the top of a block, and it does not make an included transaction succeed.
