Choosing a route with MEV protection

Protection belongs to an execution path, not a logo.

Updated and sources checked · 29 September 2026

Start with the submission path

A classic route sent through a public mempool is different from an intent filled by a solver. Compare CoW Swap batch settlement, 1inch Fusion and Velora Delta as different documented approaches, not as an ordered safety ranking.

Ask what is covered

Check the chain, supported assets, order type and submission channel. OKX documents protection through a specific broadcast integration; Relay describes destination-chain protection. Those conditions should remain visible beside the claim.

Compare the full trade

Request quotes for the same contracts and amount at the same time. Compare net received amount, expiry, fees and failure handling. Protection does not eliminate token, approval or smart-contract risk.
