For the sake of this article, we will classify all those who stand to make profit from exploiting MEV as βdishonest actorsβ. Most miners are honest actors, but some dishonest actors, (often non-miners) use the same process with bots to identify and process transactions into the blockchain that serve to directly profit themselves, at the expense of the user. To do so dishonest actors typically engage in a form of transaction attack, be that front-running, back-running, sandwiching transactions or otherwise.
