To promote MEV Blocker, the CoW DAO marketing team is requesting the build out of a Twitter bot that allows any Twitter user to check if any given Ethereum address has been MEV’d. Users would invoke the bot by sending a tweet that mention’s the bot’s Twitter handle along with an Ethereum address or ENS name to be analyzed. The bot would then reply with the total ETH amount that the address has suffered in MEV losses and potentially some other metadata, along with a call-to-action to “Get protected” by installing MEV Blocker.
Bonus points: add a unique joke generated by GPT.
Zeromev.org, a website dedicated to tracking MEV on the Ethereum blockchain, already has an MEV explorer built-in that can analyze the impact of MEV on any Ethereum address.
In fact, Zeromev has an API with a built-in “mevTransactionsSummary” method that returns the total MEV amount suffered for any given address
Since the technical implementation details are already in place through the Zeromev API, all that’s needed to bring this idea to life is to integrate this data with a Twitter bot.
Bonus points: Look for an ENS name owned by the address, check if there’s a twitter user with that ENS name as handle or username, tag them on the answer tweet.
Here’s a basic mockup of a user interaction with the “Have I Been MEV’d” bot:
An account invokes the bot by @’ing it and giving it an Ethereum address
The bot responds with MEV information about the address and ends with a call to action to install MEV Blocker
The team hopes that this bot will encourage organic discussions of MEV on Twitter and ultimately drive new users to MEV Blocker.
Users who have never looked into the impact of MEV on their wallets, as well as new users who are just now finding out about the concept, will have an easy way of checking just how much they have been affected by MEV.
Thanks to the addition of a CTA to install MEV Blocker with every bot response, the service would create a Twitter-native funnel for MEV Blocker.
