Endless respect for this man. @0xdoge_bull wrote the very first paper on OEV. Back then literally nothing was known about it and he defined the entire category.

Over 3 years ago OEV was conceptualized and coined as a term. I began work on productizing it immediately and have worked on OEV almost solely from that moment. Very few understood the value back then, and many fought me. Now 3 years later OEV is a real product that all lending protocols want. Good things take time, but this is the best OEV design from first-principles and it is finally live. Huge shoutout to the RedStone team on pioneering this with us!
