Take your arbitrage, liquidation, and tailgating operations to the next level with arbitrage mining. Not only will you be rewarded for the hard work that you’re already doing, but you’ll be participating in the very first trading pool on Ethereum.

ROOK takes Knight. Knight takes ROOK. The KeeperDAO treasury has completed a token swap exchanging 534 ROOK and 500k USDC for 500,00 KNC. @loi_luu joins as an advisor. Look forward to exploring the middle game with @KyberNetwork .

1) The idea behind KeeperDAO is to maximize profit for DeFi users and searchers (keepers), rather than miner profit. The role of a miner in a blockchain system is to secure the network. However, miner involvement in MEV encourages consensus instability.

The Hiding Game is the first of three games we are building, and refers to the cooperation between users and keepers to “hide” MEV by wrapping trades/debt in specialised on-chain contracts. These contracts restrict profit extracting opportunities to KeeperDAO itself.

1) Miners are capturing the majority of value that arise from on-chain arbitrage. In the past, this MEV has mostly been accruing to them via gas wars. Going forward, we will be seeing miners extract that profit directly.

1) Arb-mining is a new and experimental form of token distribution on top of liquidity mining. We can think of aggregate keeper proceeds as the implied acquisition cost of emitted ROOKs to keepers, similar to thinking of the opportunity cost to LPs as token acquisition costs.

2) The 'M' in MEV is an accident; an unintended byproduct of Ethereum's consensus design. Miners contribute nothing of value to DeFi. They don't build or manage the protocols, they don't submit the MEV-creating transactions, they dont' do the engineering of finding MEV.

In Chess, castling is the only way in which a player can move two pieces at the same time. By doing so, it moves the King to a safer position, and moves the rook to a more active position. If DeFi is chess, then liquidators/keepers are Rooks.
