How does Kaspa's proof-of-work help prevent MEV manipulation?
Kaspa's proof-of-work design opens the door to using randomness — such as the PoW nonce — to randomize transaction ordering, which can heavily mitigate MEV (Miner Extractable Value) attacks. MEV refers to the ability of a block producer to profit by reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions before they are confirmed. By introducing an external source of randomness (like the PoW nonce or a Verifiable Delay Function) to shuffle that ordering, no single actor can reliably predict or game the sequence for personal gain. This matters for beginners because it means Kaspa's architecture has a built-in structural advantage over proof-of-stake systems when it comes to making transaction ordering fairer for everyday users.
