Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) bot is a software tool designed to monitor the Ethereum blockchain for new transactions, identify high-value opportunities, and automatically carry out these transactions for their users.

With Coinbase’s new offering and increased trading volume, SHIB’s future performance remains a topic of keen interest among market participants.
