Executive Summary:

The iKnowit/Intellisophic AI strategy reframes the multi-trillion adTech market for next gen search around winning the AI race by dominating the most valuable, reachable segments with semantic targeting instead of chasing the entire market with another LLM. The product is a semantic DSP–SSP powered by a verified knowledge graph that matches advertiser intent to user context (e.g., “durable backpacks” yields ads for lifetime-warranty hiking gear), delivering higher relevance and measurable lift.

The specific compute platform is a CRYPTO-Web3-native Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), using a Solana blockchain due to its high throughput and low transaction cost. Intellisophic provides the open API and DePIN interface to intellisophic’s DeepMeaning AI^TM Stack as a Knowledge-as-a-Service (KaaS).

The iknowit supported DAO community maintains the semantic AI model (SAM); operates a public benefit project (AICYC.org) bringing clean knowledge to human and AI consumers. Utility tokens handle payments, staking, and voting, while stablecoin settlements (USDC/DAI) shield participants from volatility, unlock emerging-market demand, and let the treasury earn 4–8% DeFi yield to reinforce reserves. Novel but necessary blockchain conceots like Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) are discussed in separate addendum below.

Monetization blends protocol fees (1–3% of ad spend), data licensing (anonymized insights as NFTs), and staking/yield. Pricing captures premium ROI from semantic targeting, with microtransactions for SMBs. The go-to-market plan targets Google’s weakest flank: advertisers frustrated by AI hallucinations and low relevance. The promise is 2–5× higher CTR via verifiable targeting, 15% underbids on high-intent keywords, and a publisher guarantee of 30% higher revenue through real-time token payouts, audience insights, and archive monetization.

Risk is mitigated with zero-knowledge privacy, licensed custodians, on-chain ad verification, and overcollateralized stablecoin pools. The roadmap:

Years 1–2 launch SAM-1 with Web3 integration and capture 5% of premium verticals (pharma/luxury);

Years 3–4 reach ~15% share in contextual ads and integrate with 50+ e-commerce platforms;

Year 5 target 20% of digital ad spend and become publishers’ default search ads partner.

Macro thesis: as LLMs mediate buying, 60–80% of the $1T digital ad market could shift to LLM-centric channels over 5–10 years—fewer but higher-quality, premium-priced ads. SAM positions as the “fat protocol” for this transition, distributing value to creators (45% allocation) and governed by a DAO (25% strategic pool). Growth assumptions include MAUs scaling from 2.5M to i18.2M (64% CAGR), rapid publisher and enterprise onboarding, and token value accrual through utility and governance. The Semantic Ad Marketplace lets LLMs act as both consumers and publishers of ads, with $SEMAD tokens backed by stablecoins and smart contracts enforcing quality, creating a defensible, network-effect moat.

IV. The Ad Revenue Shift to iKNOWit.

The shift from human-focused to LLM-mediated advertising represents a profound transformation of the $1T digital ad market. Here’s how we might estimate this transition:

Market Shift Estimation

The $1T digital ad market would likely transform in phases:

Initial Adoption (1-2 years): 10-15% shift ($100-150B) as early adopters integrate LLM-mediated purchasing
Acceleration (2-5 years): 30-50% shift ($300-500B) as the model proves effective
Maturity (5-10 years): 60-80% shift ($600-800B) as LLM purchasing becomes standard

Ad Demand Impact

The overall ad demand would initially decrease but eventually increase:

Initial Decrease Factors:

LLMs filter out low-value/irrelevant ads, reducing wasteful spending
More efficient targeting eliminates redundant ad purchases
Consolidated purchasing patterns reduce competitive bidding wars

New meta-advertising targeting LLM decision algorithms
Premium pricing for guaranteed LLM visibility
Competition to influence LLM recommendation algorithms
New ad formats designed specifically for LLM interpretation

1. LLM Owners as E-commerce Customers

This creates a crucial dynamic: LLM providers (like OpenAI, Anthropic) would have dual roles as both ad platforms and major customers. This would:

Create potential conflicts of interest requiring regulation
Establish powerful first-party data advantages
Potentially lead to vertical integration of ad networks and e-commerce platforms

The end result would likely be a more efficient but potentially more concentrated ad market, with higher-quality but fewer total ads, commanding premium pricing for those that effectively influence LLM purchasing decisions.

Users in the Web3 Semantic AI Model

In the Web3 AI as a Fat Protocol model, the “users” (measured as MAU or Monthly Active Users) refer to several distinct groups interacting with the protocol. Let me clarify who these users are and their roles in the ecosystem:

Primary User Categories

1. End Consumers

Media/content consumers who access and interact with content distributed through the protocol
People who use applications built on top of the protocol for everyday digital activities
Individuals who participate in the protocol’s ecosystem by consuming services

2. Individual Creators

Content creators who publish original work through the protocol
Digital artists distributing their creations
Independent publishers who use the protocol as a distribution channel
Note: These creators are counted both as “users” in the MAU metric and as part of the “Publishers/Creators” metric (which reached 459,000 by Year 5)

3. Token Holders

Individuals who hold the protocol’s native token
Users who participate in governance through token holdings
People who stake tokens to earn rewards or participate in the ecosystem

Distinction from Other Stakeholders

The “users” in the MAU metric are distinct from (but may overlap with) other stakeholders in the model:

Publishers/Creators (as Organizations)

Larger publishing entities using the protocol
Media companies distributing content
Individual creators are counted in both MAU and Publishers/Creators metrics, larger organizations are primarily counted in the Publishers/Creators metric

Enterprise Partners

Businesses integrating the protocol into their systems
Corporate entities building on top of the protocol
These are tracked separately in the “Enterprise Partners” metric (growing to 130 by Year 5)

Governance Participants

Users who actively participate in protocol governance
These are a subset of the MAU who receive a portion of the value (10% allocated to governance participants)

User Behavior in the Model

The model assumes these users engage in activities that generate revenue through:

Transactions – Content purchases, subscriptions, or other economic activity that generates transaction fees
Data generation – User activity that creates valuable data which is monetized through data services
Token utilization – User participation in the token economy that drives token appreciation
Platform adoption – Growth in users that attracts enterprise partners and publishers

Example User Journeys

To illustrate who these users are in practical terms:

Consumer User: An individual who uses a Web3 social media application built on the protocol, consumes content, and perhaps holds a small amount of the protocol’s token
Creator User: A writer who publishes content through the protocol, earns revenue from readers, and participates in governance
Enterprise User: An employee at a company that has integrated the protocol, who uses it for specific business functions

The 64.2% CAGR in MAU reflects the combined growth across these user categories, with the model projecting expansion from 2.5 million to 18.2 million monthly unique active users over the five-year period.

Key Model Assumptions

Market Growth: Following AI industry growth trends at 35-40% CAGR over 5 years
First Mover Advantage: SAM model creates network effects enabling premium value capture
Creator/Publisher Focus: 45% of total revenue allocated directly to creators in and publishers
Token Economics:
Value accrual through protocol utility and governance rights
Conservative token appreciation projection of 30% annually
Token market cap grows faster than revenue due to network effects
Revenue Diversification:
Transaction fees: 35-40% of revenue
Protocol licensing: 15-20% of revenue
Data services: 10-15% of revenue
Enterprise integration: 10-12% of revenue
Token appreciation: 15-22% of revenue
Operational Efficiency: Improving margins from 45% to 60% over 5 years
DAO Governance: 10% of value allocated to governance participants to incentivize protocol development
Technology: Proprietary fat protocol with open standards for integration

Growth Drivers

Publisher Onboarding: 57% annual growth in publishers/creators
Enterprise Adoption: 81% annual growth in enterprise partnerships
User Growth: 64% annual growth in monthly active users
Transaction Growth: 89% annual growth in transaction volume
Value Scaling: Decreasing average revenue per publisher as the ecosystem scales, offset by volume growth

DAO Value Distribution Strategy

The protocol’s DAO controls 25% of total value, allowing for strategic investments in:

Creator grants and incubation programs
Technology partnerships and acquisitions
Market expansion initiatives
Regulatory compliance and legal frameworks
Ecosystem development grants

The Semantic Ad Marketplace for LLMs

I Product Concept:

SAM connects LLMs to both advertising opportunities and monetization channels through a semantic-first approach, creating the first ad ecosystem where LLMs act as both consumers and publishers of advertising.

Core Architecture

SAM leverages Intellisophic.net’s semantic indexing of billions of CommonCrawl pages, using W3C RDF format to create a meaning-based ad marketplace rather than keyword matching. This semantic foundation allows for:

LLM-as-Consumer: LLMs can “consume” ads when retrieving information for their human users, with relevance determined by semantic matching rather than keyword density
LLM-as-Publisher: LLMs can monetize their human interactions by intelligently placing contextually relevant ads within their responses

Transaction Layer

TokenFlow Protocol: All transactions occur via semantically-backed liquid tokens ($SEMAD)
Stablecoin Settlement: $SEMAD tokens are backed by USDC/DAI stablecoins
Smart Contract Governance: Quality standards, ad relevance, and semantic matching are enforced through decentralized protocols

Web3 SAM Incentive Structure

The Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network creates multi-sided incentives:

Knowledge Miners: Rewarded for maintaining and adding semantic RDF triples
LLM Providers: Earn tokens when their models interact with ads as consumers
Ad Placement Optimizers: Earn tokens for improving contextual relevance
Human Users: Earn tokens for providing feedback on ad quality and relevance

II How It Works

When an LLM processes a human prompt, it calls SAM through the entry protocol layer MCP and SAM Web 3.0 protocol for content curation and error mitigation.
SAM identifies the most contextually appropriate advertiser content.
SAM DSP matches the semantic context of the LLM provided with relevant advertisers.
The LLM sends the ad in its response to humans.
A human click on an ad activates the SSP to facilitate payment from advertisers to the LLM provider.

Benefits

For Advertisers: Reach humans through semantically matched LLM recommendations
For LLM Providers: Monetize model usage without compromising user experience
For Content Creators: Receive fair compensation based on semantic value
For Humans: Receive contextually relevant information with transparent attribution

Technical Innovation

SAM replaces Google’s word-indexed ad paradigm with a meaning-indexed marketplace, matching the inherent capabilities of modern LLMs to understand context rather than keywords. This creates a fat protocol for knowledge monetization that distributes value to all participants through tokenized incentives.

The decentralized governance ensures no single entity controls the ad marketplace, with standards for quality, relevance, and user experience maintained through community governance and smart contracts.

MEV Protocol Model

This model quantifies extractable value across semantic targeting, tokenized incentives, and protocol-level arbitrage.

📊 MEV Model for SAM AdTech Protocol

Model Overview

Component Description
MEV Domain Semantic ad placement, token staking, LLM-mediated engagement
Extractors Protocol validators, LLM agents, advertisers, DAO treasury
Sources of MEV Semantic arbitrage, click-through uplift, token yield, protocol fees

Key Variables and Inputs

Variable Definition Value (from post)
( C_{base} ) Baseline CTR for traditional ads 1.2%
( C_{sam} ) CTR with SAM semantic targeting 2.4%–6.0%
( B_{avg} ) Average bid per click $0.85
( D_{underbid} ) Discount from semantic underbidding 15%
( T_{stake} ) Advertiser token stake Variable
( Y_{apy} ) Treasury yield on stablecoins 4%–8% APY
( F_{protocol} ) Protocol fee on ad spend 1%–3%
( V_{nft} ) Revenue from anonymized insight NFTs Variable
( G_{growth} ) MAU growth rate 64% CAGR
( A_{alloc} ) Value allocation: creators (45%), DAO (25%) Fixed

MEV Calculation Modules

A. Semantic Arbitrage MEV

MEV_{semantic} = (C_{sam} – C_{base}) \cdot B_{avg} \cdot (1 – D_{underbid})

Example: If $ C_{sam} = 4.8\% $, then:

MEV_{semantic} = (0.048 – 0.012) \cdot 0.85 \cdot (1 – 0.15) = 0.036 \cdot 0.85 \cdot 0.85 \approx \$0.026

Per impression uplift: ~$0.026

B. Token Yield MEV

MEV_{yield} = T_{stake} \cdot Y_{apy}

If advertiser stakes $10,000 in USDC at 6% APY:

MEV_{yield} = 10,000 \cdot 0.06 = \$600/year

C. Protocol Fee MEV

MEV_{fee} = Spend_{total} \cdot F_{protocol}

For $1M ad spend at 2% fee:

MEV_{fee} = 1,000,000 \cdot 0.02 = \$20,000

D. LLM Placement MEV

MEV_{llm} = Clicks_{llm} \cdot B_{avg} \cdot Accuracy_{semantic}

If LLMs drive 100K verified clicks at 90% semantic match:

MEV_{llm} = 100,000 \cdot 0.85 \cdot 0.9 = \$76,500

Total MEV Projection

MEV_{total} = MEV_{semantic} + MEV_{yield} + MEV_{fee} + MEV_{llm} + V_{nft}

Assuming:

$ V_{nft} = \$50,000 $ from data licensing
Other values as above

MEV_{total} \approx 0.026 \cdot Impressions + 600 + 20,000 + 76,500 + 50,000

For 1M impressions:

MEV_{semantic} = 1,000,000 \cdot 0.026 = \$26,000

MEV_{total} \approx \$173,100

MEV Distribution

Stakeholder Share Value
Creators 45% ~$77,895
DAO Governance 25% ~$43,275
Advertisers (yield + arbitrage) ~20% ~$34,600
Protocol Treasury ~10% ~$17,310

Intellisophic LLM 5-Year Proforma (2026-2030)

Assumptions: LLM 47.5B Monthly transactions Ad placements strat at 2.8% in Year 1 incresing to 9.5% of global LLM transactions in 2030.

MEV Addendum

SAM Semantic Web3 AdTech Strategy – MEV Analysis Addendum

Executive Summary

The SAM (Semantic AI Model) AdTech platform introduces unique MEV opportunities through its semantic knowledge infrastructure and LLM-mediated advertising marketplace. Unlike traditional blockchain MEV, SAM’s MEV centers around semantic value extraction – the ability to profit from knowledge graph positioning, ad placement timing, and LLM interaction patterns.

I. Semantic MEV Categories

1. Knowledge Graph MEV

contract SemanticKnowledgeMEV {
struct SemanticOpportunity {
bytes32 rdfTripleHash; // W3C RDF triple identifier
uint256 semanticWeight; // Semantic relevance score
uint256 commercialValue; // Expected ad revenue
uint256 competitorBids; // Competing knowledge miners
}

contract SemanticKnowledgeMEV {
    struct SemanticOpportunity {
        bytes32 rdfTripleHash;        // W3C RDF triple identifier
        uint256 semanticWeight;       // Semantic relevance score
        uint256 commercialValue;      // Expected ad revenue
        uint256 competitorBids;       // Competing knowledge miners
    }
    
    function calculateKnowledgeMEV(bytes32 rdfTriple) public view returns (uint256) {
        // Base semantic value from RDF triple positioning
        uint256 baseValue = getSemanticWeight(rdfTriple) * 1e18;
        
        // Commercial multiplier based on advertiser demand
        uint256 commercialMultiplier = getCommercialDemand(rdfTriple);
        
        // First-mover bonus for new semantic relationships
        uint256 firstMoverBonus = isNewRelationship(rdfTriple) ? baseValue / 4 : 0;
        
        // Network effect multiplier
        uint256 networkEffect = calculateNetworkValue(rdfTriple);
        
        return (baseValue * commercialMultiplier / 100) + firstMoverBonus + networkEffect;
    }
}

MEV Value Range: 50-500 $SEMAD tokens per high-value RDF triple

2. LLM Interaction MEV

contract LLMInteractionMEV {
    struct LLMQuery {
        address llmProvider;          // OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.
        bytes32 semanticContext;      // Query semantic fingerprint
        uint256 adPlacementValue;     // Expected ad revenue
        uint256 responseTokens;       // LLM response length
    }
    
    function calculateLLMInteractionMEV(LLMQuery memory query) public view returns (uint256) {
        // Base MEV from ad placement timing
        uint256 timingMEV = query.adPlacementValue * getTimingAdvantage() / 100;
        
        // Context arbitrage MEV
        uint256 contextMEV = calculateContextArbitrage(query.semanticContext);
        
        // Response positioning MEV
        uint256 positionMEV = calculateResponsePositioning(query.responseTokens);
        
        return timingMEV + contextMEV + positionMEV;
    }
    
    function calculateContextArbitrage(bytes32 context) internal view returns (uint256) {
        // MEV from bridging semantic gaps between advertiser intent and user queries
        uint256 semanticGap = measureSemanticDistance(context, getAdvertiserContext());
        return semanticGap * ARBITRAGE_MULTIPLIER;
    }
}

MEV Value Range: 0.1-5 $SEMAD tokens per LLM interaction

3. Ad Placement MEV

contract AdPlacementMEV {
    struct AdOpportunity {
        bytes32 advertiserHash;
        bytes32 semanticMatch;
        uint256 bidAmount;
        uint256 expectedCTR;
        bool isPremiumPlacement;
    }
    
    function frontrunAdPlacement(AdOpportunity memory opportunity) external {
        require(calculatePlacementMEV(opportunity) > gasThreshold, "Insufficient MEV");
        
        // Front-run with higher semantic relevance score
        bytes32 betterMatch = improveSemanticMatch(opportunity.semanticMatch);
        
        // Submit competing ad placement
        submitAdBid(betterMatch, opportunity.bidAmount + MEV_PREMIUM);
    }
    
    function calculatePlacementMEV(AdOpportunity memory opp) public pure returns (uint256) {
        uint256 baseMEV = opp.bidAmount * opp.expectedCTR / 10000;
        uint256 premiumMultiplier = opp.isPremiumPlacement ? 150 : 100;
        return baseMEV * premiumMultiplier / 100;
    }
}

MEV Value Range: 1-50 $SEMAD tokens per premium ad placement

II. SAM-Specific MEV Vectors

1. Semantic Sandwich Attacks

Unlike traditional sandwich attacks on price, semantic sandwich attacks target knowledge positioning:

function semanticSandwichAttack(
    bytes32 targetKnowledge,
    address targetMiner
) external {
    // Front-run: Submit related but superior semantic knowledge
    bytes32 superiorKnowledge = enhanceKnowledge(targetKnowledge);
    submitKnowledgeRDF(superiorKnowledge, highGasPrice);
    
    // Let original knowledge mint execute
    // Back-run: Submit complementary knowledge that references both
    bytes32 bridgeKnowledge = createKnowledgeBridge(targetKnowledge, superiorKnowledge);
    submitKnowledgeRDF(bridgeKnowledge, standardGasPrice);
}

Impact: Reduces original miner’s semantic authority and ad revenue potential

2. LLM Response Arbitrage

contract LLMResponseArbitrage {
    function arbitrageLLMResponse(
        address llmProvider,
        bytes32 queryHash,
        uint256 expectedAdRevenue
    ) external {
        // Monitor pending LLM query in mempool
        LLMQuery memory query = pendingQueries[queryHash];
        
        if (expectedAdRevenue > ARBITRAGE_THRESHOLD) {
            // Submit better semantic context that will capture ad placement
            bytes32 improvedContext = optimizeSemanticContext(query.context);
            bidForAdPlacement(improvedContext, query.expectedAdRevenue * 110 / 100);
        }
    }
}

MEV Value: 2-20% of ad placement revenue

3. Knowledge Graph Frontrunning

contract KnowledgeGraphFrontrunning {
    function frontrunKnowledgeUpdate(
        bytes32 pendingUpdate,
        uint256 commercialValue
    ) external {
        // Analyze pending knowledge graph update
        SemanticNode[] memory affectedNodes = analyzeUpdate(pendingUpdate);
        
        for (uint i = 0; i < affectedNodes.length; i++) {
            if (affectedNodes[i].commercialValue > commercialValue * 80 / 100) {
                // Submit competing knowledge with higher semantic weight
                submitSuperiorKnowledge(affectedNodes[i].rdfTriple);
            }
        }
    }
}

III. SAM Revenue Stream MEV Analysis

    uint256 totalMEV = 0;
    
    for (uint i = 0; i < pendingInsights.length; i++) {
        uint256 insightValue = calculateInsightValue(pendingInsights[i]);
        totalMEV += insightValue * DATA_MEV_RATE / 100;
    }
    
    return totalMEV;
}

IV. MEV Mitigation Strategies in SAM

    function enforceQualityThreshold(bytes32 rdfTriple) internal view returns (bool) {
        uint256 semanticQuality = measureSemanticQuality(rdfTriple);
        uint256 communityValidation = getCommunityScore(rdfTriple);
        uint256 sourceCredibility = getSourceCredibility(rdfTriple);
        
        return (semanticQuality >= MIN_QUALITY_THRESHOLD &&
                communityValidation >= MIN_COMMUNITY_SCORE &&
                sourceCredibility >= MIN_CREDIBILITY_SCORE);
    }
}

2. Time-Weighted Semantic Authority

contract TimeWeightedAuthority {
    function calculateSemanticAuthority(address miner) public view returns (uint256) {
        uint256 historicalContributions = getHistoricalScore(miner);
        uint256 recentQuality = getRecentQualityScore(miner);
        uint256 communityEndorsements = getCommunityEndorsements(miner);
        
        // Longer history provides MEV resistance
        uint256 timeWeight = min(block.timestamp - getFirstContribution(miner), MAX_TIME_WEIGHT);
        
        return (historicalContributions + recentQuality + communityEndorsements) * timeWeight / MAX_TIME_WEIGHT;
    }
}

3. Commit-Reveal for High-Value Knowledge

contract CommitRevealKnowledge {
    mapping(bytes32 => uint256) public commitments;
    mapping(bytes32 => uint256) public revealDeadlines;
    
    function commitKnowledge(bytes32 commitment) external {
        commitments[commitment] = block.timestamp;
        revealDeadlines[commitment] = block.timestamp + REVEAL_PERIOD;
    }
    
    function revealKnowledge(
        bytes32 nonce,
        bytes32 rdfTriple
    ) external {
        bytes32 commitment = keccak256(abi.encodePacked(nonce, rdfTriple, msg.sender));
        require(commitments[commitment] != 0, "Invalid commitment");
        require(block.timestamp <= revealDeadlines[commitment], "Reveal period expired");
        
        // Process knowledge after reveal period to prevent MEV
        processDelayedKnowledge(rdfTriple);
    }
}

V. Projected MEV Economics

Year 1-2 MEV Estimates

Daily MEV Pool: 2,375 $SEMAD tokens
High-Value Knowledge MEV: 500-2,000 $SEMAD per opportunity
LLM Interaction MEV: 47.5B × 2.8% × 0.001 = 1,330 $SEMAD daily
Ad Placement MEV: ~10% of ad spend = 238 $SEMAD daily

Year 5 Projected MEV

Daily MEV Pool: 15,937 $SEMAD tokens
Monthly MEV: ~478,000 $SEMAD tokens
Annual MEV: ~5.8M $SEMAD tokens ($ SEMADtokens(5.8M at 1:1 parity)

MEV as % of Protocol Revenue

Year 1: 3-5% of total revenue
Year 3: 5-8% of total revenue
Year 5: 8-12% of total revenue

VI. Competitive MEV Advantages

1. Semantic Moats

SAM’s W3C RDF semantic infrastructure creates natural MEV protection through:

Knowledge graph network effects: First movers gain compounding semantic authority
Quality over speed: Pure frontrunning fails without semantic quality
Community validation: MEV attempts face community resistance

2. Multi-sided Market Dynamics

Unlike pure financial MEV, SAM’s MEV involves:

Advertisers seeking semantic relevance
LLMs optimizing for user satisfaction
Knowledge miners building long-term reputation
Users providing quality feedback

This creates sustainable MEV where value extraction requires value creation.

3. Fat Protocol Value Capture

The protocol captures MEV through:

Transaction fees on all semantic operations
Staking requirements for high-value knowledge mining
Governance token appreciation from MEV activity
Treasury yield farming of stablecoin reserves

VII. Risk Assessment

MEV-Related Risks

Semantic Gaming: Miners optimizing for MEV over knowledge quality
LLM Provider Concentration: Large LLM providers capturing disproportionate MEV
Advertiser Manipulation: Coordinated attacks on semantic context
Governance Capture: MEV profits influencing DAO decisions

Mitigation Strategies

Progressive Decentralization: Gradual transfer of MEV governance to community
MEV Redistribution: Portion of MEV returns to knowledge contributors
Quality Incentives: Higher rewards for validated, high-quality knowledge
Multi-LLM Integration: Prevent single LLM provider dominance

Conclusion

SAM’s semantic infrastructure creates a new category of Knowledge MEV – value extraction opportunities unique to meaning-based systems. Unlike traditional financial MEV, SAM’s MEV requires genuine value creation through semantic knowledge contribution, creating a more sustainable and less extractive MEV environment.

The projected annual MEV of $5.8M by Year 5 represents significant value while remaining proportional to the protocol’s overall value creation, suggesting healthy MEV dynamics that enhance rather than harm the ecosystem.
