As one of the largest blockchains by transaction volume, Tron has recently seen even greater trading activity due to the MEME coin craze, demonstrating its strong market momentum. Although some users have reported a large number of bot attacks on the network, Tron founder Justin Sun has clarified that there is no MEV mechanism in place on Tron, and the current bot attacks are more likely probabilistic in nature.
Tron uses the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, which differs from traditional PoW and PoS systems in that it does not rely on a public mempool. In a DPoS system, transactions are not broadcast to public network nodes for miners or validators to select. Instead, users submit transactions to Super Representatives (SRs) or delegated nodes, which are responsible for producing blocks and confirming transactions. As a result, unless these Super Representatives actively participate in MEV transactions, the probability of MEV occurring is generally low.
However, as the Tron ecosystem continues to evolve and innovate, the potential for MEV remains. In the future, as Super Representatives and delegated nodes optimize transaction ordering and validation processes, Tron may gradually unlock more MEV opportunities, creating new revenue streams and market opportunities for miners and users alike.
