Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake preserved MEV extraction dynamics, transferring them from computational miners to capital-based validators.

Quotes that support claims

MEV denotes the additional value that blockchain validators — those creating new blocks on the network — can acquire by manipulating the order of transactions within the blocks they create.

The Ethereum blockchain in late 2022 underwent a shift to proof-of-stake... and value extraction methods will continue after that transition

The consensus shift by Ethereum, known as 'The Merge,' from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake in 2022 marked a significant transition, with validators now taking over the role previously held by miners
