# MEV Boost

{% hint style="info" %}
Dummy-proof: The beauty of "MEV Boost" is you can DLMM like you usually would, just turn on MEV Boost to enhance PnL

## What is MEV Boost?

Historically, retail LPs suffer from MEV & Arb bots. Now you can MEV them back and boost your own PnL. MEV Boost is HawkFi's high frequency liquidity model that MEVs and Arbs toxic flow bots back to enhance your trading PnL, while you earn LP fees.

## Why does my bin shape look different?

That means MEV boost is working its magic and high-frequency arbing toxic flow for you to improve trading PnL while printing LP fees. MEV boost automatically optimizes trade-offs between fee capture & trading PnL (positive IL) to enhance your overall DLMM position PnL

{% hint style="warning" %}
MEV Boost is a beta feature. Results depend on pool conditions, liquidity, market movement, and LP discretion. MEV Boost does not guarantee profitability, but enhances your (net profit/loss) position.

## How does MEV Boost work

1. **Capturing the arbitrage opportunity using your position's liquidity**

   MEV Boost can use an LP position's liquidity to pursue cross-pool arbitrage opportunities when the same asset is priced differently elsewhere. Successful execution can become an additional potential source of position returns.
2. **Removing liquidity from bins where the next flow could be net-negative for your position**

   MEV Boost can remove liquidity from "toxic" bins. These are bins where anticipated flow may be net-negative for the LP position—for example, where adverse selection or impermanent loss could outweigh collected fees. This can reduce exposure to unfavourable trades, but it does not eliminate MEV, impermanent loss, or adverse selection.
3. **Re-quoting liquidity around the active bin**

   After an arbitrage, MEV Boost can requote liquidity around the active bin to seek a more favourable buy-low, sell-high spread on subsequent LP trades.
