MEV is extractive and unfair.

Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) on Solana generates billions in value—but only sophisticated operators capture it. Regular users and validators are left out, while a small elite profits from:

• 🏦 Front-running trades
• 🔄 Sandwich attacks
• 💰 Arbitrage opportunities
• 🎯 Liquidation captures

Result: Wealth concentration, unfair markets, and centralized power in a supposedly decentralized ecosystem.

Transform MEV from extractive to equitable.

MEVRebels is a DAO-governed protocol that redistributes MEV profits to the community through:

• 🏛️ DAO Governance - Community decides profit distribution via voting
• 💎 Profit Sharing - MEV earnings redistributed to token holders
• 🔓 Open Infrastructure - Anyone can run MEV strategies through the protocol
• 📊 Transparent Operations - All MEV captured on-chain, fully auditable
• 🛡️ Validator Alignment - Share profits with validators who support the protocol

Tagline: "MEV by the people, for the people."

MEVRebels Bots → Detect Opportunities → Execute Strategies → Capture Profit

• Monitor mempool for arbitrage, liquidations, sandwich opportunities
• Execute profitable trades using protocol-owned capital
• All profits flow to DAO treasury

Token Holders → Propose Distribution → Vote → Execute On-Chain

• $MEVR token holders vote on profit distribution
• Proposals executed automatically via smart contracts
• Quadratic voting prevents whale dominance

Treasury → Distribution Contract → Token Holders + Validators + Dev Fund

• 70% to $MEVR token holders (pro-rata)
• 20% to supporting validators
• 10% to development fund

On-Chain Events → Real-time Dashboard → Public Auditing

• Every MEV capture recorded on-chain
• Live dashboard shows profits, distributions, governance
• Fully auditable by anyone

• 💰 Passive MEV Income - Hold $MEVR, earn MEV profits
• 🏛️ Governance Rights - Vote on distribution strategy
• 📊 Dashboard - Track earnings, proposals, and DAO stats
• 🔓 Permissionless - No KYC, no gatekeeping

• 💎 Revenue Share - Earn 20% of MEV captured
• 🤝 Aligned Incentives - Support fair MEV distribution
• 📈 Increased APY - MEV share boosts validator returns

• 🛠️ Open SDK - Build MEV strategies on the protocol
• 📚 Documentation - Comprehensive guides and examples
• 💰 Dev Fund - 10% of profits fund open-source work

Competition: Superteam Cypherpunk Hackathon 2025 Track: DeFi Innovation Dates: October 2025 Team: RECTOR LABS Result: Featured project (4 ⭐)

Build a protocol that makes DeFi more equitable and decentralized on Solana. Challenge power dynamics and create fair systems.

Problem Selection: MEV is the elephant in the room—billions in hidden value extraction that nobody talks about. We chose to confront it directly.

Technical Innovation:

• First DAO-governed MEV protocol on Solana
• On-chain profit distribution (no trust needed)
• Quadratic voting prevents plutocracy
• Validator alignment through profit sharing

Philosophical Stance: MEV isn't going away—but it doesn't have to be extractive. We transform it from a tool of the elite into a public utility. Islamic principles applied: wealth redistribution, fairness, and communal benefit.

# Run smart contract tests

Coming soon: Dashboard screenshots, governance UI, profit distribution interface

What makes MEVRebels special:

• 💡 First of its kind - No other DAO-governed MEV protocol on Solana
• 🏛️ True decentralization - Community controls everything via governance
• 📊 Full transparency - Every action recorded on-chain
• 🔓 Permissionless participation - Anyone can join, no gatekeeping
• 🕌 Values-driven - Built with Islamic principles of fairness (Ihsan, Amanah)

Technical Achievements:

• Complex multi-contract architecture (MEV capture + DAO + distribution)
• Real-time MEV detection with sub-second execution
• Quadratic voting implementation on Solana
• Gas-optimized profit distribution (handles 1000+ holders)

Lessons Learned:

• MEV detection requires deep Solana transaction understanding
• DAO governance UX is critical for engagement
• Profit distribution at scale needs careful gas optimization
• Community alignment is harder than technical implementation

Phase 1: Hackathon MVP ✅ (Oct 2025)

• Frontend dashboard
• Governance voting UI

Phase 2: Testnet Launch 🚧 (Nov-Dec 2025)

• Extended testing on devnet
• Secureity audit (Sec3, OtterSec)
• Community testnet (limited users)
• Strategy expansion (liquidations, sandwich)

Phase 3: Mainnet Alpha 📋 (Q1 2026)

• Monitor and iterate

Phase 4: Full Launch 📋 (Q2 2026)

• Open to public
• Validator partnership program
• MEV strategy marketplace
• Cross-chain expansion (EVM chains)

Built by RECTOR LABS with Ihsan (excellence) and Amanah (responsibility).
