According to Foresight News, Paradigm research director Dan Robinson and research partner Dave White proposed the MEV tax, a mechanism that allows any application to capture its MEV while retaining composability. The mechanism is now available on OP Stack L2s such as OP Mainnet, Base, and Blast. The two researchers said this can be seen as allowing any application on the chain to run its own custom MEV auction without any of its own off-chain infrastructure, simply connecting to a single shared auction run by the block proposer. They encourage L2 to consider using priority sorting (OP Stack supports it by default) and encourage applications to try MEV taxes if supported.
