# Is there an anti-MEV mechanism?

Yes.

Orders are queued and matched first-come-first-serve by Arcus's off-chain matching engine and only the resulting fills settle on-chain, so there's no public mempool for searchers to front-run or sandwich, and no per-order gas to bid up.

A taker speed bump on order entry further limits latency-arbitrage advantages.
