Currently, a lot of value generated by dApps (particularly DEXes) is captured by other participants in the transaction supply chain, mainly searchers, block builders, and validators.

dApps are becoming more aware of this issue and are exploring ways to prevent this leakage so they can redirect the value in a way that’s more beneficial for them, such as sharing it with their users, LPs, or keeping it for themselves.

Semantic Layer is building the infrastructure to allow dApps to define how transactions are ordered and executed, preventing value leakage and allowing for more customization in value distribution.

The Semantic Layer team is not just building this new infrastructure but also two innovative applications built on top of it to showcase its strengths -  more on this coming soon!

Introducing Semantic Layer! [1/7] Today, dApps are leaking hundreds of millions in MEV revenue, hurting users the most. In 2022 alone, $300M was extracted from users and dApps as MEV. This real yield could have gone to users or dApps, but instead was extracted by MEV middlemen.
