Sterlin:
"An example of this kind of extractivism occurs within the Ethereum blockchain. It is called MEV (maximal extractable value) and is an ongoing problem. MEV occurs when a validator in the ecosystem changes the production order of a block within the blockchain so they can maximize the fee value they derive from validation activity. This situation constitutes the exploitation of “open source” transactional knowledge on a blockchain, whereby powerful validators are able to manipulate it for their own gain.
Similar forms of exploitation could arise within the decentralized knowledge-sharing networks. This represents a new form of “capture.” The p2p Foundation suggested that cosmolocalism must be safeguarded from corporate capture, ensuring that its principles of open access and local empowerment remain intact. In this sense, network states should anticipate various challenges to implementing cosmo-local designs."
