Is This Research Meant for All Smart Contract Blockchains?

Flashbot's research is looking at all layers of the stack. There are three categories of MEV mitigation that we've seen so far. We would say it's maybe application-specific MEV mitigations where you try to wrestle the power of ordering away from minors. Another one is at the node level, which is what Flashbot's is doing with MEV get by modifying the way that the transactions are being auctioned for ordering. And then the third one, I would say, is at layer zero. So this is being built primarily looking at the Ethereum blockchain. But there are a bunch of other blockchains out there that may suffer the same fate.
